County Farm Bureau was held at
Presque Isle to consider the advisa-
bility of utilization with the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Julien Emery, president Of the
Maine State Federation of Farm Bu-
reaus, in presenting the advantages to
be gained by such a move, advanced
the following information:
The question of utilization, mem
bership fees, and methods for secur7
ing the same rests with the local orr
ganization. 1t will be necessary for a
ma jority of the counties in the State
to take favorable action, before at

in securing crops He stated that he
had Is men scattered throughout
Aroostook county to report on the
crop. These men were carefully
chosen as to judgment. knowledge of
the county and conditions in general.
Through several illustrations he ex-
planned the fallacy of making guesses
on something that we have had but
little knowledge of. These also ser c
to illustrate the Importance Of exer-
cieing care in securing information
relative to the crop acreage, production.
etc, and also the difficulties encoun-
tered in securing suitable men 20 make
reports on the subject.
A full explanation was made of the
methods employed by the bureau, not
only in securing the information, but
the care that was exercised in sum
marizing the same before the infor-
nation was released to the pubic.

further information regarding the

For the third consecutive week
new contracts signed by hurley to-

to 1926 crops to the cooperative
marketing plan of the Burley To-

Chief William Collins, of the field

The past week contracts to the

LMBERNECK BECOMING MORE
SERIOUS AS CHICK TROUBLE

Frequent inquiries being receiv-
ed by the poultry department of the
College of Agriculture indicate that
limberneck already is causing the
death of many growing chicks and
hens in different sections of the
State. The trouble, which increases
as the weather becomes warmer, is
quite common each year among farm
fiocks, poultrymen of the college
say.
Limberneck, which is a symptom,
rather than a disease, is a paralysis
of the muscles in the neck of the
birds which often results from eat
ing decayed flesh. 1t is a form Of
poisoning that also may be caused
by eating arsenate of lead and other
poisons found on the farm. No cure
is known for the trouble, the chief
control of it being prevention.
Special care should be taken to see
that all dead chicks and animals
are buried deeply or burned to pre-
vent the spread of the trouble, the
poultry men say. tr--.--

DISABLED EX-SERvICE MEN TO

Kentucky is full of men who
were disabled in the service, but
who are not receiving compensation,
or, after receiving compensation have
had same cut or entirely stopped"
says a letter from Henry T. Sites,
secretary of the Kentucky Disabled
Elk Service Mems Board, announcing
that a series of division conferences
will be held in Eastern Kentucky in
cooperation with the American
Legion to see that every man en-
titled to compensation gets it.
There are slightly more than 5000
men in Kentucky getting compensa-
ton, according to Secretary Sites,
and he thinks that there are ap-
proximately that many more who
should be drawing compensation.
Plans will be made at the meeting
for a general cleanup campaign in
Kentucky to be held from June 81
to July IL, Mr.. Sites says. Repre-
sentatives of the United States Vet
erans' Bureau attend the conferen-
ces and explain what steps are nee
