That each community must study
| it's own needs to determine what
| shall be best to make life on the
farms more pleasant and thus build
up the country in the future, was the
declaration of William G.. Hunton,
industrial agent of the Maine Central
Railroad. in a talk Friday evening
before the Augusta Rotary Club at
the Augusta House.
Mr.. Hunton spoke of the future OF
the country which he said was de-
pendent upon two things, agriculture
and the railroads. For the past few
years there has been a feeling that
agriculture was being restricted. This
condition the speaker pointed out to
be due to the fact that city life is
much more pleasant than country
life and that the young men md
women are leaving the farms. Now,
we discover that the work on the
farms is being done by a class OF
men older than formerly and almost
too old for this sort of work.
In former years, the products of
our labor and natural resources were
turned back to build up the coun-
try. Railroads were built. factories
were erected and many THINGS in
crease the industrial growth Of the
country were zone. lneSe toGt LUIS
have changed the life in the country
Things that but a few years ago
would have been unheard OF luXuries
in the country. are now necessities.
Where the people formerly lived il
small communities. each producing
it's G.vn necessities. now they come
from all quarters of the globe And
these luXurics necessities are best
obtained at the present time in the
city.
It now becomes necessary to mako
life on the farm agreeable and at
tractive. to offer pay that will he
equal to that paid in tie industries
and to show the boys and girls
where they Will DO the losers by
leaving the farm. This is nCCcss?. "

This type of experiment is declared
unique in the field of industrial re-

are in a position to undertake the
study of various problems, the solu-
ton of which should be of great prac-
teal value to blast furnace operators.
The furnace was operated first as a
slagging-type gas producer until it
had reached a steady state therma1ly
and chemically. Iron ore without the
addition of a fux then was intro
duced. and its descent in the furnace
was followed by means of gas SAM
pies taken at various stations. When
the effect of this charge had been dis
sipated, more ore was charged with

The purpose is to obtain a COM
parison of the gas composition at va

sizes of ore also were used. The re-
duction of the ore at the stockline was
found to be greater with smaller sized
ore. as indicated by higher carbon

One of the most important prob
