Beef Cattle Solves Maine's Waste
Land Problem

At the Somerville Farm, formerly
the John Turner Farm, 16 miles from
Augusta, is wintered another herd of
the Angus cattle, headed by Black
Beldcn, the famous twoyear old In
| ternational prize bull, weighing over
1000 pounds. Two silos here of over
! 1875 tons capacity carry the beef
stock through the winter months.
A finer lot of cattle will never be
seen than those, grazing on the green
hillsides at this farm. They are reg
istered stock, representing the
+! choicest selections from the leading
prize winning herds of the West.
A visitor to Maine is amazed at
the number of abandoned farms and
miles of waste lands, and what to do
with this big acreage is one of the
! states big problems.
| Mr.. Park started out a little less
than three years ago at Jefferson
Farms, Jefferson, Maine, to demon
strate to the people of Maine that
these rich fertile hillsides and pas
tures-he calls them the Gold Mines
! of the East'-could be made to pro-
UuCe HlSIl qudllly OCSI, SNSh pSteSh
steaks and roasts than could be
raised in the West; and more cheap
| ly than the Western variety.
Success attended his efforts and
the first consignment of Angus baby
beef from the now famous Jefferson
Farms was received in Portland last
January. The dressed beef was put
| on sale at the market of George Shaw
| & Co, and purchases were made by
/ the Congress Square Hotel and other
! leading hostelries in Portland, Maine.
MI Park has been offered. within
I the last few weeks, one to three
cents more per pound than the price
of Western beef is bringing, for all
| the Angus beef he cares 20 market.
| Money talks and this f1attering Of
fer speaks volumes for the success
of the beef raising industry in Maine.
| Four additional breeding stations

annual sweet-clover. The biennial
variety is familiar to many but an
annual clover has never before been
seen or raised in the State of Maine.
Last year Mr. Park was fortunate
enough to obtain from Prof. Hughes,
of Iowa State College, one ounce of
the seed at an cxorbitant price, which
was planted in two drills 35 feet
long. The clover grew abundantly,
attaining a height of over eight feet
with heavy, thick roots covered with
nitrogen nodules. When mature
the clover was harvested and later
the seed carefully stripped and
secured. Enough seed was secured
to plant one-eighth of an acre this
year.
A more beautiful sight was never
the writer's privilege to see than this
sweet scented, waving field of green.
At close range, the clover plants
strongly resemble alfalfa, both in
leaves and stalk. An Augusta man,
William j. Skehan, was one of the
admirers of this stand of clover, the
like of which he had never seen.
Just to test the height of the plants,
he walked into the field. Bill" dis
appeared completely, to the aston
ishment of his friends. Not even the
outline of his cap could be seen from
distance of 100 feet
The annual clover which natures
in one year as its name implies, car
ries nearly as much weight under the
soil as above, and is valuable as a
forage crop the same as alfalfa or
ordinary clover. 1t should be cut
when two to three feet tall, but it's
greatest usefulness lies in it's power
! to impart nitrogen to the soil through
its roots.
Experiments have shown that in
one year this clover will carry into
each square yard of soil enough nj
trogen, figured in terms of the COM
mercial nitrogen, to equal the ap-
praised value of the land itself This
annual clover will easily yield double
the tonnage to the acre over the or
binary varieties of clover.

messages from a large majority of
the leading hotels gave assurance of
support and all were in hearty accord
! of organizing an association.
There were present in addition to
the hotel men, officials of the State
also in accord with the idea that "a

fit to the hotels and consequently a
benefit to the varied business inter-
ests of the State:
Active endeavors will be Immediate

enrolling the hotel men. Many topics
were presented for informal discus
sion but they covered such a wide
range of topics that only a. few were
given long discussion.

named and includes: H. f. Thurston,
G. F. Alley, Lyman Abbott, and L. b.

the executive committee.

of the private dining rooms was much

several experiments in the past two

On the Andrews place in Jefferson,

than the average Maine farm land
and careful cultivation the only
method used. But the corn matured
beautifully and the future of next
years crop is assured.
At the SOmerville farm, a splendid

been harvested with finely matured

Maine Bonifaces
Organize Association
at Portland Meet

Portland, Sept. 24.-Plans for a
Maine Hotel Mems Association,
which have been considered for a
number Of years but had not reached
a point of final decision. were sue
iccsSfuIly completed at an enthusias-
tic meeting of a delegation Of hotel
proprittors and managers held at
the Congress SqCate hotel Saturday
afternoon.
Immediately after the lunch hour
the business session was opened and
from the start there was so much en-
thusiasm shown that it was then and
there decided that such an organiza-
ton would prove of great benefit to
tie hotels.
s nominating committe was i'm
mediately selected and they reported
the following names: President, Jo-
seph w. Simpson, York Harbor:
treasurer, Henry p. Rines, Portland;
the secretary to be selected at a later
date. The nominations were approx
ed by unanimous vote and those Of
ficials will Immediately assume their
duties.
Practically every hotel man pres
ent at the meeting was heard and
the many phases of the business were
considered. 1t was the unanimous
belief of all that by a carefully con-
Quoted campaign the business of the
State can be sgreatly increased and
that such information as is desired
to spread can be handled in a most
efficient manner through the agency
of an active hotel mems organiza-
ton.
1t was also the belief of the hotel
men that much mutual benefit would
result through the efforts of harmo-
nious endeavor along well defined
plans, rather than through individual
effort. Opportunity to interchange
ideas in hotel management and gen
eral catering to the public also had
free discussion. Though the initial
meeting was not attended by many
