w. p. Baker Comments on Condition
OF Farmers In kennebec Valley

To the Reporter:
wish to reply to the letter in last
weeks Reporter written by Isaiah s.
Beane OF Caratunk, that received the
heading "Trouble Somewhere; What
Is It?" and Mr.. Beane finishes the
article by asking someone to solve
his riddle.
Why, he asks, is there such a diff
ference in the point of success, be-
tween the Maine farmers in Kenne-
bee Valley and those just across the
line in Quebec. First let me say
that the Maine farmer is taxed be-
yond endurance, he has lost his cour-
age. Second, he has no market for
what he raises for sale. Third, he
has to sell for what he can get and
pays top prices when he buys, Fourth,
there is nothing to encourage him,
nobody tries to help. he is looked up
on as just farmer, an easy mark,
than can be bent going and coming.
Fifth, food clothes, grain and every
thing he buys Is too high priced for
what he can make on what he pro-
duces. He can't get ahead or break
even. Sixth, neighbors are not as
they used to be. the helping hand has
gone, instead of words of cheer and
encouragement or little praise,
they bite each other behind their
backs, ridicule and discourage. These
are hard words but true. Seventh,
what's the result? The men folks
seek employment and work out. Their
farms are neglected their homes not
as they ought to be and the condi-
tions are just as Mr.. Beane pictures
them. Eighth, put in all in a nut
shell we are TAXED OUT, STARVED
OUT and LAUGHED AT. In Que
bee 1t is very different. The farmer
is given a chance, show to live,
neighbors are neighbors, the helping
hand and smile is there and success
goes with II and in many country vii
lagos throughout Quebec, we see
creameries, cheese factories and other
such places for a farmer to take his
milk, many of the country storekeep-
ers buy wholesale from the farmers
and ship again to the bigger cities,
but the main thing towards success
is cooperation, the GET-TO-G ETHER
SPIRIT and the friendship that goes
with it, Unity is strength and un-
til we farmers of Kennebec Valley
wake up and get together we shall
see little change.
