Successful Fast Mercer Farmer

Although carrying on farming on a
small scale William W. Williamson
of East Mercer has been a success
full farmer, having been engaged in
that agricultural pursuit nearly all
his life. His present farm is located
at the four corners in East Mercer
and consists of about one hundred
acres. There i> good deal of lum-
ber on the place. the estimated
amount being about two thousand
feet Mr.. Williamson bought the farm
80 years ago this fall of Bert White
house, who lives in that district at
the present time. Mr. Williamson has
two horses, two cows, Guernsey and
JerseyDurham type, some White
Chester pigs and large flock of hens
of various breeds. Mrs. Williamson

The Sweet Corn Situation

The growing and canning season
for sweet corn is over for the season
of 1921, and producers are now giving
serious consideration to future pro-
duction. The pack in many locali-
ties has been very small and the de-
mand for all corn canned this season
will more than exceed the supply
This will make necessary a normal
pack for 1929. Many of the growers
who did not produce the past season
have discovered that altho the produc-
ton Of sweet corn has appeared to be
highly profitable in the past with the
average production and price received
the net profit has been much smaller
than they anticipated; they have eli
minated all the customary anxiety and
worry during the growing season, the
expense of operating their farms has
been materially reduced, there are nc
fertilizer bills to be settled this fall
and on the whole, interest in the pro-
duction of sweet corn has greatly de.

the harvesting of this crop a Fordson

part in their agricultural activities,
was used extensively for carting and
loading. Other crops on the farm this
season are six acres of corn, approxi-
mately three acres of which is yellow
corn and the remainder of the Man,
outh Flint variety, ten acres of oats,
and three acres of India wheat A
large orchard promises good returns
this year, Baldwins and Spys being
grown to considerable extent. Two
years ago Beekwith & Taylor raised
about 150 barrels but at the present
time they feel that their yield should
be 200 barrels. Thirty-one head of
stock. mostly thoroughbred grade Jer-
seys, are maintained on the farm, to-
gether with a promising purebred bull.
One Of their COWS from the Sophy To-
ronto Strain has been giving a yield
of 40 pounds of milk The cream is

cry ahd the milk is fed to calves and
hogs, eight swine of the White Ches-
ter breed being included in the stock
at the present time. Four horses are
kept on the farm. While Beckwith &
Taylor are hoping to rebuild their
home on the Hathorn farm they feel
especially the need OF erecting a new
barn as great quantity of their new
hay has to be stacked at the present

SOMERSET COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NEWS
Poultry Arcsunl.s

There has been great deal OF in
creased interest taken in poultry
keeping during the past year. Ii Is
therefore important that poultry keep
ers have available the best knowledge
possible relative TO methods which
are the most profitable. For this rea-
son, the Extension Service eo-operat-
ing with the County Farm Bureaus
throughout the state has undertaken
service To poultry keepers which
Will give them the benefit of the most
profitable methods in general use
based upon actual records kept by
poultry keepers all over the state.
The plan is as follows:
/. On November lSt. over one hun
dred poultry keepers in the state will
start an account with their flock in
record book which will be furnished
free of charged by the Extension
Service
2. At the end of the year, these rec
ords will all be summarized and aver
ages worked out showing the relative
profitableness of different methods of
management and the effect on profits
of certain practices followed. No in
dividual figures will be published but
averages will be available to the peo-
pie who cooperate in keeping the
records
3. In order to facilitate the work of
summarizing and not bunch the work
at the end of the year, each co-opera-
tor will send to the College of Agri-
culture a statement each month on a
blank provided showing the expenses
and receipts for feed, labor, etc, and
receipts for eggs. poultry etc
4. In return for this monthly state
ment. summary will be returned
monthly showing average egg produc-
ton for each county and for the state
in order that each co-operator may
compare his production with the av-
erage and possibly the average of the
ten highest flocks each month.
5. A summary of costs and receipts
showing the average for all flocks
will be sent each co-operator at least
twice during the year.
6. Report blanks and envelopes re-
quiring no postage will be furnished
each month for the report.
Would you like to assist in this
work and receive the benefits from it?
If so please give your name to either
your poultry project leader or send it
direct to the county agent.
You will not be able to see any ones
individual figures because these are
held strictly confidential, but you will
receive copies of summaries showing
averages which will indicate what
practices and methods are most profit
able Send your name at once so that
you will receive your book before Nov.

Packing and Shipping OF Farm
Produce

]. We are informed at this Office that
the latest Department Bulletin
on Packing and Shipping Of
Farm Products is ready for distribu-
ton and may be obtained from the
office of the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, Augusta, Maine, Frank 2.
Washburn, Commissioner. This bull
letin is addressed to the growers and
shippers of agricultural products in
Maine in an attempt to point out the
first step in the Improvement OF mar
keting conditions. 1t suggests nee
essary reform that begins at home.
1t is not expected that the adoption of
the ideas set forth would solve all the
problems of marketing or any great
part of them. but il is believed that a
more careful grading, packing, and
shipping of our products would go far
toward improving the position OF the
Maine farmers by gaining corporation
of the consumers within our State and
by establishing a reputation for quail
ity in the out-of-State markets into
which Maine products may, under the
somewhat unusual conditions OF the
present season, be sent for distribu-
tion. The book includes discussions
on the following topics: Grades and
grading; packing, shipping and sale
of apples; branding: classes and
grades of apples better grading oil
fruit; food value of the apple; spray
to prevent waste; orchard renovation
selling Maine apples; marketing eggs
handling and marketing Names pota
