mapping and timber estimating now
employed in the National Forest Ser
vice was also laid in Maine" contin-
ued Mr.. Cary.
Maine timber users. if not ideal in
their trea tment of the woods are at
least as careful and exercise as much
foresight in their operations as lum-
bcrmen in any other section Of the
country. The PAPER industry in New
England in particular is run in the
main with great business ability, with
foresight and with regard for perma-
nent and public interests"
Referring to the ideas Of previous
speakers, for publicly owned forests
particularly, Mr.. Cary said he agreed
if an Interpretation suitable to Maine
people and conditions was placed upon
them. He clearly did not believe in
an attempt at wholesale reversal of
the past policy. and spoke of the lock-
ing up of a large area of state-owncd
forests in New York which did not at
all meet his ideas of what is desira BILE.
He did not believe that the gradual
building up of state and town forest
properties was good thing and he
thought it would prove practicable and
not too expensive if a policy of that
kind should be early established.
Mr.. Carey referred to fire protection
and to pine plantations on the town
common at Brunswick, the latter now
from Is to 20 feet high and an object
of much interest to passers, as illus
trating one phase of this movement
AS a desirable field for State owner
ship, Mr. Cary suggested the sandy
plains land in various towns, too hard
to protect from fire to be attractive to
private owners, and hard cut tracts in
Northern Maine which, though pro-
ductive enough and sure to be a source
Of revenue ultimately. because Of taxes
and protection cost with no immediate
revenue in hand to balance, might in
some cases be surrendered by their
owners on very favorable terms. On
such easy lines, followed as opportuni-
ty offered, Mr. Cary thought Maine of
the present day might and ought to Law
foundations for the prosperity of the
State in the future.
In fire protection" said Mr.. Cary,
Maine is among the leaders today, but
there appears TO be room for improve
ment.
IN the organized towns particularly
where larger share than is generally
supposed OF the timber of the State is
located. the present system does not
provide for sufficient responsibility
and efficiency" continued Mr.. Cary.
Mr.. Cary commended the Forest
school at the University of Maine,
particularly of the fact that its grad
yates found ready and satisfactory en-
ploymcnt which showed that both they
ana thcir training were of the right
sort.

known as Section Is. The possibility
Of a second ground elsewhere on the
2,e00 volt circuit may have a certain
bearing on the case.
The grounded construction on
Pole "A" is structurally in accord
ance with the provisions Of the Ma
tional Electrical Safety Code, edition
OF 1920. The structural defect at
this point lies in the fact that. in
overbuilding the 1900 volt circuit
with a high tension line, the two sets
Ct conductors were not attached TO
the same poles.
This fact made It possible for
slight shifting in the alignment OF the
poles TO make the contact which was
the direct cause 70 the accident. The
National Electrical Safety Code In
discussing this subject. expressly
states that. where overbuilding be
comes necessary, joint construction
should be adopted in preference to
maintaining two independent lines of
poles.
I'm spite Of the accidental contact
above mention 49, accident would
have been prevented if the protective
ground connections had been electric
ally permanent and effective. 1t Is
neither difficult nor expensive job
to measure the resistance OF the
ground connections ofter they are
once installed. but this accident en-
phasizes the point which W.. sug-
gested in the Lewiston fatality, No.
/ 524 OF last year. that the effective
ness Of grounding is not tested out
after installation. Soil coalitions
vary so. even within apparently
small area, that the effectiveness of
a ground connection cannot always
be foretold before installation. 1t is,
/ however. frequently possible. by 60
ing a short distance from the MONT
( where connection is necessary. to OBJ
tain an excellent ground. In this
\ particular case. within a single span
OF the place of the accident. was a
ground of sufficiently low resistance
10 give effective protection.
Recommendation
The following recommendations are
made by the commission:
NOW that a cross arm has been
attached to Pole "A" TO carry the
1900 volt circuit, the immediate
cause of the accident has been re-
moved. IT is commended as fol-
lows:
"i'irst-That Al secondary wires
Of the Carrabasset Light & Power
Company, now attached to Poll 81.
I've transferred to cross arms attached

connecting the ground systems on
Poles ID" and "E." be continued one
section to Pole "A" so as to connect
the latter TO A low rre ground

fed by the National Electrical Safe
" Code.
"Third-That from thc west side

ra bassett Light & Power Company be

attached to tho same poles which
carry tho $4,000 circuit, known as
Section 13.

BOARD OF TRADE SCORED

Z. II. Cunningham, president OF the
U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, in address
ing the American Farm Bureau con-
vention in Chicago last week, excori-
ated the Chicago Board of Trade for
refusing to admit the farmers grain
marketing organization to member
ship, thereby violating the assurances
which had been given that the farmer
would be admitted when he came
regular"
Mr.. Cunningham asserted that the
application for membership carried
nothing that did not contemplate the
fullest compliance with every rule
which shows that the Board of Trade
pledges were insincere and never in
tended to be performed.
81 want the organized farmers to
take up the gauntlet which has been
hurled at their feet" he said. 81 want
to see legislation supplemented to the
federal law enacted ct coming sessioes
of the legislatures in all of the grain
states which would compel the admis-
sion of the lawful producer owned
companies to the grain exchanges
The work should not be half hearted
or of a compromising nature"
Mr.. Cunningham showed how the
organization had established a sales
agency regularly admitted on the Min
neapolis market and that applications
for membership are pending for seats
on the Indianapolis Board of Trade,
the Merchants Exchange of st. Louis,
the Omaha Grain Exchange and other
points. The Minneapolis agency is
now handling members grain.

SHIP SUBSIDY CONDEMNED

Huron, Dec. 26.-The attitude of the
farm bureau relative to ship and other
subsidies was expressed clearly in the
resolutions passed recently in the ma
tional convention at Chicago, as fol-
lows:
"Inasmuch as it has been the gener-
al policy of this country to subsidize
special privileges; manufacturers by
a protective tariff; and it is now pro-
posed by those in charge of our gen.
eral policy to substitute our shipping
interests by the payment to them of a
bonus, for all of which the consuming
public must foot the bill,-we emphat-
ically protest against the continuance
of a policy that has become confisca-
tory instead of protective.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING MADE
MAJOR PROJECT OF FARM
BUREAU

The American Farm Bureau feder-
alton will continue to give outstand-
ing attention to marketing problems
and to the policy of strengthening and
encouraging cooperative commodity
organizations. This was unanimously
voted by the American Farm Bureau
federation in Chicago last week at the
largest convention in the history of
the organization,
1t was voted that the federation
shall maintain a division of coopera-
tive marketing to be managed and
directed by capable and experienced
cooperative marketing specialists.
The convention unanimously agreed
that the farm bureau has already &C
complished a wonderful work in pro-
noting farmer controlled marketing
organizations and that this policy
must be further strengthened.

Apprehension in Australia Regarding Lifting of German Embargo
 Conference Adopts Resolution.

Sidney, N. S. w., Oct 5-A great deal of apprehension exists in Aus tralia regarding the lifting of the em- bargo upon German goods which took place August 1. Three days be- fore this date the steamer Maimyo. which had loaded at Hamburg and was the first vessel to come here from Germany since 1914, landed a portion of her cargo at Melbourne.
 A storm of public protest and threats of all sorts of action by ti-'- customs authorities ceased when t was discovered that the official origin of most the cargo was Czecho- -slovakia which made them immune from pro- hibition. Some German goods in the cargo were landed here on the day the embargo was lifted. They com prised pianos and toys marked at prices considerably lower than those current here. Eleven other vessels were listed to load at Hamburg for Australian ports during August.
 The federal conference of returned soldiers here adopted a resolution urging the federal government to pass legislation which would prevent the dumping of German goods and protect Australian and British manu- lecturers Another resolution pro vided for a nationwide campaign to pledge Australians to purchase Aus tralian- produced goods exclusively.

 With it's court he declared Kansas during the coal strike produced 50 per cent of its normal output This, he said, enabled the state not only to meet it's own needs, but export fuel
 At the same time. he continued, the court through negotiations with oper- ators kept the price of coal 50 cents below what 1t otherwise would have been. ...
 Tt is utterly absurd" he said. Ito declare that the government may pass upon the property and the liberty and the life of the citizen but that it can not find justice for him in the mat ter of wages and working conditions if he is engaged in an industry upon which the public welfare is depend ent"
