Minor BlaZes Call
Department Twice

Two alarms, one a still at about II
o'clock in the forenoon and the other
an alarm from box 63 at 2:25 p. NJ.
provided excitement for the MEM
bers of the Augusta Fire Depart
ment on Thursday.
The first alarm was from the Can
nett Publishing Co, for a fire in
some ventilating pipes. The pipes
were fun of SCOT which had collected
for some time. 1t became ignited
and the entire length of the pipes
was soon smouldering. 1t was found
necessary to take the pipes down
and empty them. No damage was
done.
The alarm in the afternoon was for
fire in a tar kettle belonging to the
city, and which was standing on city
property near the State garage. This
was subdued by the use OF small
chemicals and with 70 damage.

TELLS kIWANIANS
EDUCATE FARMERS
TO INVEST FUNDS

Education for farmers in the in
vestment OF surplus capital in times
OF inflated prices. 10 tide them over
when conditions were bad. was advo-
Gated strongly by Virgil A. Sanders,
OF the |. s. Department of Agricul-
ture. speaking before the Augusta
klwanis club at the Augusta House
Thursday evening. Mr.. Sanders de-
clared that the majority of farmers
put their surplus in farm mortgages
and similar investments because they
know the most about them and that
when they need the money they have
a hard time TO get it for the reason
that the same conditions that make 1t
necessary for him to have his money
have made it hard to realize upon
these mortgages.
He expressed his belief that banks
and financial institutions should
make 1t their business TO assist the
farmers in putting their money into
investments from which they might
be able 10 realize when necessary.
His topic was which Way Is
Maine Agriculture Going" He stat
ed that the only thing upon which to
determine the trend of prices and py
this TO arrive at some solution of the
question is TO see what happened aft
er the different wars i'll which this
country has engaged. In each case
there was a gradual drop in the
prices paid for farm commodities
from the inflated prices which had
prevailed during the war. This has
been going on for some time follow
ing the last great war, but whether
the end has been reached is not yet
apparent.
lie took several of the leading
farm products and told of the condi-
lions prevailing in different sections
of the State, drawing conclusions
from these conditions as TO the PROB
able outlook for the next few years.
For example. Mr.. Sanders stated that
1t would be hard struggle for dairy
men for few years. while on the
other hand potato raisers and sheep
men might well keep on increasing
their holdings and the limit has not
yet been reached on egg production.
lie also strongly advocated that
farmers should pay more attention
TO the proper marketing of their pro-
duct. and also that they should think
of their work as business and not
just as means of livelihood.
a number of we'll known farmers
of this vicinity We're present as the
guests of members of the club to
hear this interesting talk. In well
coming them, President Charles +.
Quincy stated that the time has come
when the residents of the city and
the farmers must cooperate for the
good of both. For this reason the
club was particularly pleased to well
come the farmers to meeting OF
this kind
