&. A. Yeat0n VIII Judge Agricultural
Products

G. A. Yeaton of Augusta will judge
the horticultural exhibits at the fair
of the Somerset Central Agricultural
Society to be held in Skowhegan,
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday,
Sept, 20, q and 90 Mr.. Yeaton has
had an inherent love for fruit trees.
When "A small poy he commenced to
draft and bud the saplings by the side
of the wall on his fathers farm. and
has kept at tbs sort of a thing ever
since. In 1882 he bought an orehar |
on nearby farm, which had 2S5 trees
of natural fruit These trees have
never produced n marketable barrel of
apples except such as had been used
for cider He put these trees into fall
and winter varieties. Six years later
he gathered his first substantial crop
of 80 barrels. THIS was a revelation
to the people in that community, and
led to many Of them Immediately TAX
Ing care of their orchards in the same
way.
Mr.. Yeaton has from the beginning
done systemat c pruning. At the time
of his first experience spraying was
very little known. He introduced the
first spraying machinery which con
sisted of a hand worked barrel. Spray
ing later developed in that section and
has of course become general through
out Maine.
In about 1906 Mr. Yeaton began
working W tn the Maine Department
of Agriculture under d. Walker Me
Keen. then secretary. A few years
later A. W Gilman became commits
sioner of agriculture and Mr.. Yeaton
continued his duties with him. About
tn $ time the battle commenced with
the gypsy and brown tail moths. Mr..
Yeaton's work has been divided he
tween that and developing orchard
interests by personal visits all over

Somerset County Agricultural News
Future OF State In Our Hands

That the State of Maine has not
even held its own for the past ten
years can be seen from the fact that
the total increase in population from
1910 to 1870 was 25.G43. or ) 1-22 per
cent, while the increase in Portland
South Portland. Anburn-Lew .ston, Sa-
co-Biddeford and Bath was 26,4G1, or
824 more than the total for = STATE.
The valuation of prop rty TX
ing purposes increased Il ne
same IL years SlS5f23.sl4 Or II per
cent
The rural population in nearly ey-
cry county in the state decreased.
The above shows very unhealthy
condition of affairs.
II it is true that Maine possesses
wonderful soil. climate, scenery, wa
ter powers, forests, etc, when are we
not progressing instead Of going
back? Have we any definite reliable
Information OF what we have, where
IL is and how we are handling 1t? Are
we capable OF handling it letter.
The State Chamber OF commerce
and Agricultural League believes That
we have wonderful State, that we
are capable of handling 1t well, al
though we are not at present doing so.
In the hope of obtaining correct IN
formation. the State Chamber is ask
ing the local Chambers to make a sur
vey of their locality -agflcultnrallY,
industrially. tourist, fisheries, forests,
etc. The plan is TO do this by eoun-
ties, asking the organizations in each
county to arrange with representa-
tiyes of every town in their county.
Uniform Information blanks will be
prepared.
There will be possibilities for in
creasing business in every part OF The
State, through the State Pier. Coast
wise and Transatlantic Lines will
run regularly to Portland, If assnr-
ance can be given them OF tonnage
This will open an entirely new out
let for all kinds of Maine products
agricultural as well as manufactured
1t will be necessary. however, to know
what we have in the way of tonnage
II over the Pier. The value OF thi'
Pier to the State will depend upon the
use made of ii by Maine interests
This survey or study should demon
state whether use can and will be
made of It, Its future rests with the
people OF the State, not with the Com
mlssioners appointed to build it.
