OF Seed Improvement, Department of
agriculture, states that up to date sc
applications for field inspection of
potatoes and oats have been re-
ceived, covering an acreage of 662
Tor potatoes and 81 for oats, a total
OF 699 acres. This is a large increase
over the acreage of 1920 and the
whole of this years applications have
come with solicitation on the part of
the department., showing that the
farmers appreciate the inspection
work and are benefiting by better
prices for their produce. Mr.. New
dick said:
we also have letters asking us to
do inspection work on over 800 acres
more, but the formal applications
nave not been signed and filed. We
cannot tell yet whether or not we

A hardy woodSman and enthusiast
tic fisherman, Joseph X. Lane, OF
/ Lincoln, Maine, has very interest
ing record to report. He writes: AS
a boy, thlrty-seven years ago, l be-
gan to take Dr. True's Elixir. Once
after six months hauling logs, l came
out Of the woods and found my two
year-old boy very sick. He ives thin,
had no appetite, had swollen lips,
pains in stomach, an itching nose,
was suffering from constipation, for
months.
Il had not been in the house an
hour when an elderly lady-a good
neighbor-came in and told my wife
saying she had seen numbers of SINH
lar cases which it had relieved.
MY boy was given a half dozen
doses of Elixir when he passed a lot
of little worms, and right away began
to show Improvement; he began soon
to eat with a relish, play around and
look healthy. He did not have to take
full bottle. apd in later years, when
ever he got off his feed, few doses
would straighten him out quick
when l get constipated, a couple
of teaspoons of DR.. True's Elixir fix
me o. X.
MY son is grown up now and has
family of six children, and he has
practically raised his family on DR.
True's Elixir. The children go out
and get hold of something not good
for them. It's hard to watch all the
children, and so when they eat some
thing they shouldn't and get-sick, the
Elixir is given and the family is put
in good shape again.
i have read in the papers you
nave to take half dozen bottles of
some remedies, but you don't have to

President Invited to the
Eastern States Exposition

Major f. z. Philbrook of Portland
deputy commissioner of agriculture
and in charge of the Maine exhibit to
be made at the Eastern States Ex-
position on Sept. 1924 at Springfield
Mass, was at the department on Fri
day, just having returned from Wash
ington, d. C. Major Philbrook said
/ Il went to Washington with other
officials of the Eastern States Expo
sition to see President Harding anG
extend to him an invitation to attend
the coming Exposition in September
He very naturally could give no def
mite promise of coming to Maine but
eVinced a keen interest in the eXhibi-
ton and gave a half hour of his time
in inquiring into and talking about
it's extent and plans. He expresse d
the view that it must be u grand good
thing for the New England States, as
it is. We We're accompanied to the
White house by Senator Lodge and
Speaker Gillette of Massachusetts and
Senator Hale of Maine.
: The audience was perfectly in
formal, in fact, a decided feeling and
aspect pervadcs the entire White
House and other departments, some
thing that has been very conspicuous
by its absence during the past eight
years. The president is a charming
man to meet. He has no 'frllS. is

full of jokes and you Immediately feel
at home in his presence. When your
business is over, you realize that his
time then belongs to someone else.
Washington is crowded with
people. the scores of school and COL
lege graduates calling many, while
the government business is just now
so important that an unusually large
number are there on that.
And then it is hot. Last Tuesday
experienced there. And to prove it,
here's something that Id heard of
but never before saw and it's true,
no old story;
Two congressman were entering
the Capitol up the new white stair
way and it was so hot that one of
made the old remark: Its hot enough
to fry eggs That led to discussion
as to whether or not such a thing
ever happened or could happen and
they made a bet, one that it could, the
other of course that it could not.
Then they hied themselves to the
House restaurant and secured two
eggs and hied themselves back to
those sizzling hot white steps, where
they broke the eggs on step and
watched the result.
The eggs cooked as readily and as
nicely as on any stove or range.
When they were done on one side the
cook took a letter from his pocket,
opened out the paper and showing it
under an egg at time. flipped them
over onto the other side as easily as
though he had the proper kitchin
utensil. And those eggs We're in few
minutes cooked as hard as any fried

was no exception. Some of these
cases may be heard from later. But

Expect Half Hay Crop

commissioner of Agriculture
Frank P. Washburn said Friday
that on account of the dry weather.
he believed that the hay crop for
this year would not be over so per
cent. of normal harvest However.
Mr.. Washburn thought that the
crop in Aroostook would be normal.
because of the fact that the dry
weather does not seem to affect the
Aroostook soil as much as it does in
other sections of the State.
Commissioner Washburn further
stated that there would be about a
80 per cent of the strawberry crop
on account Of the scarcity of rain,
but that he did not think that the
BURBERRY crop would be affected
very much.
Commissioner Washburn also said
that he did not think that the potato
crop has been damaged and that
there will be an average yield unless
severe drought sets in.

pack better apples. Commissioner
Washburn said after the conference:
THE farmers of Maine this year
have a wonderful opportunity to get
our Maine apples into new markets
and this is the time to make up our
minds to get those markets and to
hold them. This can be done only
by the farmers and apple growers
packing good fruit and marking it
for Just exactly what it is. Nothing
makes a customer more irritated
than to pay for first class apples and
find the middle of the barrel filled
with seconds, perhaps third class
fruit We must send out good fruit
if that is done. the quality Of our
Maine apples will hold any new
market we may secure.
The gentlemen here today fully
agree with this idea and pledged the
influence Z and authority of both
their organizations to bring about
the packing of first class, depend
able fruit and aiding in bringing to
justice any and all who may very
mistakenly depart from that rule. 1t
is to be hoped that no occasion for
!>such action will be found and that
the superior Maine apple will find
itself this year in many new mar
| kets."
