Somerset County Agricultural News
ACTIVITIES At wO0DsUM FARM
Other Hustling Farmers and Over 20
Years Old

Larone has smart woman in the
person of Mrs. H. Emma Woodsum.
She was born in Milbridge, the daugh-
ter of Rev. Edmund Nugent and at the
age of IL years the family moved to
Norridgewock where Rev. Nugent was
pastor of the Baptist church for many
years. Mrs. Woodsum was a student
of the famous Eaton school in 1882.
She was united in marriage to AL
bert G. Woodsum of Fayette. To this
union two sons We're born. The FAM
lily lived in Worcester, Mass. for q
years and 10 years ago they came to
Maine and bought the 200 acre farm
here at Larone of Herbert Murray
where they have done. extensive farm
ing since Mr.. Woodsum's death in
1929. Mrs Woodsum and her son
Theron have carried on the farm.
They have fine herd of twenty-seven
Ayrshire cattle all registered stock
but two. They make butter for the
Waterville market and at present are
making from 80 to rs pounds per week
Last year they sold 1926 pounds. Mrs.
Woodsum does all her housework
caring for the cream and butter be-
sides helping her son with the chores
She also finds time for doing much
work for others in sickness and
trouble and is very staunch member
of the Farm Bureau.
We also have three very smart
men over 20 years young, we think in
the persons of Willard Damren who
still carries on his farm alone. and
this winter besides cutting and haul
ing his years supply of wood he has
got out the lumber for house for one
Of his son-in-laws.
C. II. McAuley helps his grandson
in carrying on their large farm and
does practically all of the chores and
this fall he built stable for F.
Wheeler and small house for the
use of their hired help.
d. X. Allen carries on his place I'M
aided, does all of his own homework
(Which would put many of the women
housekeepers TO shame) and works
out for the farmers around here.
Let's hear about your smart people
in other places over 70 years old.

More Needs of Skowliegnn

Tn the February 18th Issue of the
Independent Reporter, r. T. Patten
states a few of the needs of Skowhe-
gan. desire to call attention to
what I believe necessity, viZ:--to
number the business section of our
town, Water street and Madison
avenue. At the present time there
are eleven numbers from the bridge
down Water street to the Municipal
Building, and only fourteen from Wat
err street up Madison avenue to Pleas
ant street. | also note with pleas
ure that Mr.. Patterns list of needs are
treated with generous consideration
by w. H. Heselton who will donate
$4,000 toward an old peoples home,
his offer being good for two years,
He mentioned the Butler property as
making a fine home, but this is now
owned by the town. | agree with him
in that. but think there is a better
one, in fact an ideal place for an old
peoples home. and that is the late
Manley T. Pooler residence on the
Middle road, short distance from
town. AS | understand il. this house
is unoccupied at the present time.
This is the largest house in town and
has all the modern Improvements,
beautiful landscape, large shady
lawns, in fact is ready to occupy.
There is also large barn and $50
acres of best farming land. This farm
can produce all the vegetables the
home would need and yield enough
hay to keep string of cows for all
dairy products. There would also
be a hennery for the necessary eggs
and poultry.
The writer has lived in Skowhegan
all his life and notes with pride that
whenever there has been a call for
humanity, Skowhegan has always
gone over the top. This old peoples
home is a most worthy cause; none of
us can tell who may need the benefits
of such home in these uncertain
times. | seem to think that if the
Pooler heirs were approached by the
right person or committee appointed
by someone to interview them, they
might be disposed possibly to donate a
considerable portion of this property
for some such purpose. To me it
would seem most fitting and proper
for Skowhegan to have a Pooler
memorial in home for aged people.
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow citi-
zens, please think this over carefully,
Financially | am unable to meet Mr..
Heselton's donation, but l will clip
off one cipher and donate $4,000 under
'the same terms for this proposed
home. Let us all take hold of this
proposition and make it the success
which it deserves.
Yours respectfully,
