Forest Station
for Maine

The Federal Government has es-
tablished several forest experiment
stations in the western part of the
country, but none as vet have been
located in New England. Governor
Baxter has interested himself in this
| important matter and has taken it
up with the forest service. urging
that an experiment station be estab-
lished in Maine SO that the needs of
New England. and especially of
Maine. may be recognized. Some OF
the most valuable timbcrland in tic
country is located in northern New
England and this land increases in
value each year. If the great lum-
Der and pulp industries in Maine are
to be permanent they must be as
surcd Of a continuing supply of raw
material. An experiment station
will study the local proslems and its
work would be of great value.
Governor Baxter has been in touch
with each mem Der of Names dele
cation in Congress and has been as
sured of their deep interest in the
project. At the last session of the
Legislature Governor Baxter secured
the adoption of a memorial to Con-
gress urging the establishment of
such a station and he has been at
work upon the project ever since.

cal space is concerned. And here
wish TO pay tribute to those pub
fishers of newspapers, magazines,
farm papers, business papers and
other periodicals who at the request

many points and joined with the ad-
Nertisers and agents to solve an in

Advertisers and agents owe it to
these publishers TO select these pub
fishers as against those who refuse
to cooperate. You owe it to your
selves. first, as YOU would owe it
to yourselves to buy q metal tested
by an independent laboratory as
against one which is covered by the

owe it, more aCutcly. because YOU
yourselves asked the favor and YOU
cannot in honor prefer those who do
not comply with your own request.
