Discussing the activities of the
Pennsylvania State Grange, Mr.
Dewey said that that organization
| carries on an exchange for the buy
ing of certain commodities, and is
also engaged in insurance, in the
fire and agricultural compensation
lines.
He declared that making men
and women out of boys and girls
is the big work of the Grange and
the boy that has the training OF
master in a Grange has the training
that will fit him to go to Congress-
Nine governors are proud to be call
ed Changers. In Pennsylvania, Gift
ford Pinchot would have never been
governor If he had not been a
Granger.
The visiting Grange masters re-
marks were accorded hearty ap-
plause.
Master Abbott Of Maine Grange
Discussing the importance Of the
Grange. State Master John E. Abbott
OF North Berwick said that 1t is a
wonderful thing to see young people
Of II years and men and women IS
years Of age obligating themselves in
the same organization.
The need of careful study of the
Grange ritual and of the Oranges dec
laration of purposes. was pointed to
by Mr.. Abbott, who said that the as
sociations and acquaintance made by
membership in the Grange Is some-
thing that dollars and cents cannot
buy.
I urge that you use the. personal
magnetism you have to build this or
ganization, he said. If we, do that,
Maine will have the best Grange of
any state.
Commissioner Frank p. washburn
Commissioner Frank P. Washburn
of the State department of agriculture,
introduced as the next speaker, told of
the Importance Of the dairy business
In Maine and of the large amount of
dairy produce shipped from here to
the big New England markets.
He told of the surplus of milk ere
ated in these markets by the fact that
in New England and some parts Of
New York many producers have turned
from the manufacture of butter and
cheese and have gradually drifted into
the business Of supplying raw milk to
the big centers of population. We are
pouring into these centers millions of
gallons Of milk. much Of which goes
into the sewers, and yet we buy from
outside millions Of pounds Of butter
and cheese.
Commissioner Washburn described
the plans that had been discussed at
conferences held to take UP this prob
lem, and especially Of the plan which
contemplated New England-wide
centrally controlled organization OF
dairymen to control a certain per cent.
of the raw milk and to provide for set

budget will pare down the military
appropriations, it also is understood
that the aviation branches will not
suffer. About $30,000,000 was author
lied for this year and this sum Is de-
clared to be all that can be consumed
on the annual output Of the present
aviation manufactury.
A slash in next years appropria-
lions coupled with surplus in the
treasury of $25.00O,0O0 and q prospec-
tive surplus Of $290,000.00o at the
close of this year warrants tax reduc-
ton of at least $500, 900, 900. Mr.. Lord
told the executive.
The joint congressional postoff1ce
committee which Is conducting hear
ings in this section on postal rates
met with the president late today.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, chairman Of the commit
tee, declared some notifications Of the
new rate recently ordered by Congress
seemed in order. Revenues have been
boosted considerably during the three
months in which the increase has been
in effect, he said, apparently more than
enough will be raised than Is neces-
sary to meet the s6S,000,000 increase
in postal salaries for which the higher
rate was demanded by the president.
he added
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat. Ten
nessee, reported that on the basis of
the hearings held by the committee so
far, he believed rates could be cut
considerably, and he announced he
would advocate again a reduction in
the newspaper postal rates to the 1920
scales.
None of the members Of the COM
mittee would suggest a program for
modification Of the rate schedule al
though general unanimity seemed to
prevail that a revision should be made
next season.
Representative White Of Maine,
ranking Republican on the merchant
marine and fisheries committee, in
formed the president that rigid pol
icy of conservation must be pursued
in the Alaskan fisheries. He has just
returned from Alaska and declared the
dearth Of fish there has seriously ham
dicapped industry I'D business gener-
ally in that territory.
Mr.. White, who was chairman Of
the committee which investigated the
shipping board, announced he would
call the committee together in the fall
to compile report on its hearings.
No recommendations or suggestions
to be embodied in the report have been
formulated by him.

area and the canufacturing milk area.
He said that the plan has been tempo
| rarily held UP by the refusal Of the
| banking department Of Vermont to al
| low the sale of dairy system stock in
| that state.
The so-called Grade "a" milk law,
passed by the last Legislature. was
also taken UP by Commissioner Wash
burn, who pointed out that this Is one
of the matters to be voted upon by the
people of Maine by the special refer
| endum election to be held December z.
! All are hoping to see that the end
of the daylight saving "humbug" is in
sight, and your chairman (Represent-
| alive Harriman) will feel we'll repaid
for his efforts. The farmers are going
to get out and what they don't do to
daylight saving won't be worth pick
ing UP.
Mr.. Washburn said that whereas
! the law passed by the last legisla-
ture, the Grade "A" milk law, pro-
vided that all milk sold an.grade "A"
must come up to certain standards,
no one is compelled to come under
this grade "A" milk law.
In Portland the local health au-
thorities announced that they would
require all milk sold to be grade "A"
This threw the fat into the fire, said
the speaker. But the state has Moth
ing do with the regulations made
by the local authorities.
The commissioner said that in gen.
eral the farmers are facing brighter
prospects. than for several years.
There is a good crop Of potatoes in
the grounr this year and there are
indications that the crop country
wide Is reduced this year. The Maine
apple crop is fair and as there are
indications that the crop Is not so
large in other states. buyers should
be willing to come to Maine. There
are good crops of corn and peas. The
poultry business is growing all Of the
time.
County Agent c. A. Day
Agent Clarence A. Day of the
Kennebec Farm Bureau asserted
that the big problem of the farm
is how to make an adequate labor in

solved by the farmers themselves.

SOME POINTS ON HUNTING

What hunter should and should
not do is explained in the November
bulletin of the Virginia Department
of Agriculture and immigration.
1t shows that all resident land
owners and their children and nom
resident children of resident land
owners in the state and non-resi-
dents who own land in Virginia may
hunt upon their lands without a
license.
The bulletin states that all other
persons must secure license and con-
sent of landowners on whose land
they hunt
1t is unlawful to hunt on Sunday
and to hunt one-half an hour after
shutdown to one-half an hour before
sunrise. Night hunting with dogs
for game animals and fur-bearing
animals not protected by law is per-
missible, the bulletin states.
Hunters are warned to consult the
game law pamphlet issued by the
Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries when in doubt as to spec
ial legislative acts and changes in
the county laws.

FARM PROSPERITY

A meeting of significant interest
to farmers is the annual meeting of
the American Country Life Associa-
ton. 1t was attended by farmers
and representative of farm organi-
cations as well as those from social,
religious, and educational associa-
lions and organizations. The dis
cussions and deliberations covered a
wide field of topics The keenest
interest, however, probably conferred
round the two topics, farmers in
come and standards of life.
There was very definite and
very general belief that these are so
interdependent that it is not possible
to consider either apart from the
other. Indeed, income may be even
more dependent on standards of life
than are such standards on income.
There was general agreement also
particularly it seemed among the
farmers present themselves=tha
better schools are the fundamental
consideration in improving either
one.
Farm prosperity is governed by
the farmers ability to apply scienti-
fic methods to the cultivation of the
soil in raising crops and to market
his product successfully. The for
mer means knowledge of science of
agriculture; the latter means a
knowledge of world markets and of
transportation and price problems
involved. Both are dependent on
education as well as native ability.
Unless our country schools offer
sound and efficient elementary and
secondary educational facilities to
the farm youth the oneoming gene
ration of farmers will be less pros
porous than the present one. Living
under new conditions imposed by a
civilization becoming more and more
complicated means that farm, even
more than city children, NUT be able
to avail themselves of results of re-
search and investigation whether
concerned with the economic or the
social and ethical standards of life.
