GRANGE At
EAST MADISON
Next Meeting will be Tw0-day Annual
> Session at SkOwhegan In January

Somerset Pomona meeting held with
East Madison Grange, Nov. 13, round
ed out the most successful and pros
porous year in the history of the Po-
mona. Sixteen meetings were held
and with but one exception. when a
storm was on and the roads blocked
with snow drifts, the meetings have
been largely attended, fine programs
carried out and an unusual degree OF
interest manifested.
The last meeting at East Madison
called out a good attendance from the
surrounding subordinate Oranges
with all the officers of the Pomona
present and occupying their respec-
tive chairs. After the opening a
class was instructed in the Pomona
degree and admitted into membership.
At intermission the Pomona dinner
and social hour was in order. At
the opening of the afternoon session
came the accustomed tribute to the
Flag followed with a cordial address
of welcome by c. w. Clement, master
of the home Grange, and the response
by Eugene Danforth of Arson Grange.
A large choir rendered ideal music at
intervals and L. c. Jewett presented
an outlined history of East Madison
Grange, more especially the efforts
put forth by it's loyal members In
building the splendid hall now own
ed and occupied by this Grange. Eve
Ign Paul gave a recitation; duet
by Edna and Leona Green and mono
logue by Lillian Harville. r. T..
Patten, manager of the Independent
Reporter took the floor and gave a
most skillful Indian club demonstra-
ton. keeping perfect time with the
music of a victrola. This was the
first instance the Pomona has had
such an exhibition of skill and 1t was
greatly appreciated and applauded.
J..W. Taylor, agent for secondary
schools, was present and gave an ad-
dress. W. B. Woodbury., superin-
tendent of schools, offered brief re-
marks and w. B. Whittier had Clos
ing Thoughts" A solo by Velma
Vincent closed the. exercises. =.
: TIE next meeting will be the an
nual to listen to officers reports, elect
and install the officers, assign the
meetings for 1924 and hold the great
two days festival. 1t will be held
with Skowhegan Grange, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Jan. 8, 9. 1924. Every
subordinate Grange should be repre-
scented so that all can take a part In
the arrangements for the year.

New Poultry Houses From Old
(Bertram Tomlinson)

Improper housing of hens Is per-
haps one of the, biggest factors limit
ing egg production in average farm
fields. The situation Is one resulting
from old ideas regarding quarters for
poultry and while many types of hous-
es were built, the universal plan was
to keep the hens as warm as possible
in winter, with little or no regard for
fresh air. 1t Is true that there are
today few commercial men that are
using these old types of houses, but
MANY small farm and village fiocks
are still kept in houses in which there
is little or no provision for fresh air.
With the advent of the open-front
house in Maine, a new era was record
ed in the poultry industry, for this
TYNE of house embodies fall the essen
tlals of good poultry housing, good
ventilation, convenience and economy.
Many of the houses now being used
with poor results by poultry keepers
could at very small cost be remodeled,
10 the approved open-front type.
Among the most common OF these Is
the small tight house OF the shed-
roof type, measuring about IL feet long
and 10 feet deep. from 8 to 10 feet
hieh in front and to 6 feet high in
rear. Usually the fronts consist Of
two or three glass windows and VENT
ilation. is prepared for by small vent
ilator. in the. roof.
This type of house may be easily
remodeled by taking out the front,
adding to s feet on each end and
building a. new front provided with
openings for cloth curtains. The ad-
dition should be. made so as to change
the house from the shed-roof type to
the uneven span or two-thirds pitch.
The ventilator flu is not necessary
and should be removed.

NOT so PER- CENT YIELD
MARKETABLE FRUIT
Crop Conditions In the LarOne Sec
tl0ns-Hard Year for the
Agriculturists

Larone. Nov. 19-The apple crop in
predicted as not even a 500 yield of
marketable fruit was had. in many
orchards the apples were practically
ruined and worthless from the rail-
readers although much of it was sold
to the disgust of the cooks and lovers
of a good apple who had right to
expect good fruit at the price. Even
those who sprayed, are sadly tdisap-
pointed in the yield as hundreds OF
bushels are not gathered or have
been sold for cider because, of being
understood owing to a summer frost
and dry weather. And some who
sprayed did not hit the right time
and the little railroad-got in their
work just the same.
The prospect of a profitable price
for tho farmers potatoes for 1928 Is
looking pretty bad.
1t certainly has been hard year
for the farmer but his wife who keeps
and properly attends to the home Is
smiling at eighty cents per dozen for
eggs but when she wishes to- sell the
younga roosters or old hens the smile
changes to a sigh at fourteen cents
per pound IL they can be sold at any
prices =.
But very little blowing has been
done although a perfect fan is being
had for such work Looks like the
farmer was sitting down on his job,
and not much to, blame IL he does.

Apple Market Letter
(Kingman & Hearty

Boston, Nov. 20-While receipts of
apples were not heavy today, the
market was very disappointing. There
seemed 10 be no demand for. good ap-
pies. We expected good movement
for Thanksgiving trade which gener-
ally comes this week, but so far trade
has not shown any signs of life.
There were a few buyers looking for
cheap apples and that Is about all the
trade there was. There Is nothing

ate prices.

Better Selecting and Grading of Apples
1E T Hitchingsl

A conservative estimate Of the num-
her of varieties of apples in Maine
Is placed at 500. One orchard con-
taias. about half that number. At
leasE ne-fourth of the apples now
raised In the state are ground into
cider. One-half our orchards need
top working to better varieties, We
must grade our varieties.
The Maine Pathological Society re-
cognizes 40 varieties on its list OF plate
fruit for premiums, about half of them
being classed as box fruit, and about
one-third of them are for fancy bar
rel pack.
Fruit for home use is a personal
proposition and one may grow as many
varieties as he desires, but we rec
ommend careful selection OF the
best summer, fall and winter varie-
ties. so as to extend their use as long
as possible. The following would be
a good selection: Summer Sweeting,
Duchess, ops-of-wine, Mcintosh,
Nodhead, Tolman Sweet, Rolfe, Bald
VIM Delicious, Spy, Roxbury Russell.
For a commercial proposition we
would Want 10 Select from the follow
ing: Baldwin, Ben Davis, Delicious,
Mcintosh Rhode Island Greening.
Rolfe, Spy, Wealthy, Wolf River.
Many varieties seem to have a mark
ed preference for certain environ
ment, either location, soil, fertilizer
or other factor. The secret OF sue
cess depends largely son an analysis
of conditions. Ideal locations can be
found all thru the fruit belt of the
state. The Oxheart cherry grows .es-
pecially abundantly1 in Hallowell.
There is a small pocket where tons
of this fruit were formerly grown.
Hundreds of fruit growers in other
parts of the state have tried in vain
to produce such cherries.
The same holds true with the Bald
win, Spy and many other varieties.
Uncle Scion Chase had an ideal loca-
ton and soil. We we'll remember
his $50 tree. Commits ideal Spies
are known throughout the state and
whereaver his fruit Is sent
In the last 10 years Stark's Deli
cious has been tried out in many parts
of the state, but Mr.. Bragger Of Exc
ter seems to have struck the ideal
location, as relates to an ideal product.
The remainder of the address relat-
ed in detail to methods OF selection
and grading of fruit for commercial
purpoSeS.
