a conference with Roy Hews, dir

will hire men to make up seven crews
to take care of the field inspection
work which will start about July

to date for inspection is slightly over

which will open at Washington. D.
c.. on Oct. 2, will adjourn to Phila-
delphia, Pa. for Oct. 4, and will con-
J tinue at Syracuse. n. Y, from Oct.
5 to 10. In addition, the Governors
have been asked to appoint commits
sions to represent the dairy indus
tries and social welfare organizations
of their states at the sessions.
It is hoped that at least one men,
Der of each commission will represent
the public health and social welfare
interests. Other interests to be rep
resented are: the milk producers. the
milk distributors, the dairy products
manufacturers, the machinery manu-
facturers and the dairy cattle breed
ers. At Washington, the Governors
and the state commissions will join
in the welcome to the foreign dele
gates, scientists and business men,
participate in whatever official recog-
milton is accorded attendants by the
United States Government and in the
social affairs and excursions which
are to be held in conjunction with the

have an opportunity to see the varied

Is especially interesting as the cows
are run loose in an open shed, well
bedded. where they are protected
from the wind but not from the cold.
They are fed on ensilage and hay
and that they thrive can not be
questioned. The young stock is more
closely housed and is fed light
feed. designed to give them growth
and to develop them properly.s The
buildings are inexpensive such as any
farmer has or can have. in fact. The
saving of labor and the conservation
Of manure are constantly kept In
mind. Last winter one man cared
for nearly seventy-five cattle at the
Jefferson plant and did a good job
Of it.
Jefferson Farms consist of six
farms quite widely scattered so that
only the Jefferson group was visit
ed. This group consists of three
farms under the management OF b.
j. Atwood and Is made up of several
hundred acres of silt loan valley
land that is entirely devoted to crop
production and a large amount OF
rocky hill land devoted to pasturing
the cattle.
After a picnic lunch served by the
ladies on the farm the guests were
taken through the fields and Mr..
Park, the founder Of the farms. and
the man who is responsible for the
wonderful improvement in produc-
tivity and fertility. outlined his me-
thod of building up the fertility of
the land by the use of lime, legumes
and live stock. That there has been
a marked improvement in the fer
tility and productivity of the land
can be seen at glance by a COM
parison with neighboring farm land.
Probably the most striking example
Of the improvement being brought
about is field Of alsike clover that
would delight the eye of any farmer.
This was grown on a section of the
farm that three years ago grew
nothing but few struggling black
berry vines and the surface of which
was hard and baked, cracking in all
directions. 1t is now one of the most
valuable fields on the farm. Lime and
manure are the answer.

Showers Bring
Forest Fires Under
Control on Monday

Showers In the northern and west
ern parts Of the State brought I'M
der control Monday the forest fires
which were burning briskly on Sat-
urday and Sunday. according to re-
ports received by State Forest Com
missioner Samuel r. Dana. These
were the first showers for a week in
Aroostook county.
In the Rangeley section, the rain
put the fire completely out, while
the fire which had been burning for
two days at Township II, Range.
was also totally extinguished. The
fire at Township 0, Range 4. in
Aroostook county, was brought un-
der control.
Although Mr.. Dana has received
no report concerning the fire at
Township Z. Range 3. in Aroostook
county, he assumes that it was ex-
tinguished as showers were reported
in that section. Mr.. Dana believes
that the rains have also put out the
fire at Township 0, Range II. in
Piscataquis county. which up to
Sunday evening had burned 600
acres.
A new fire was recently reported
at Township E, Range ?, in Aroos-
took county. but this was said to be
q small one.
