1t is becoming quite common
nowadays to hear the gang broad

WASHINGTON COUNTY
FARMERS ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR PEA CANNING FACTORY

Meetings of farmers held this week
at Charlotte, Robbinston and Calais
in the interests of a pea canning fac
tory in Washington county, were very
enthusiastic and generally well at
tended, according to the report of
Charles NJ. White, chief of the divis-
ion of markets of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, who has just
returned from that section of the
State.
Mr.. White stated that the attend
ance was rather small at Calais, but
there were good turnouts at Char
lotte and Robbinston. At each of the
meetings Hon. Robert ]. Peacock of
Lubec spoke, expressing his willing
ness to erect $4,000 plant at Bar
ing for the industry IL the farmers
within a radius of 90 miles would
agree to plant 375 acres of peas each
sions, telling of the departments in
terest in the project and it's hope
that the project will be carried
through.
According to the report brought
back, the sentiment of the three
meetings he attended was strong for
the pea canning project, but not par
ticularly strong for the project of
creamery for the county.
Commissioner Frank =. Washburn
Of the State Department OF Agricul-
ture represented the department at q
meeting of the farmers at Princeton
Friday evening at which the two pro-
jects were discussed. and will attend
a similar meeting this Saturday eve
ming at Perry.

OUR QUESTION BOX

Cues: What are the duties of
the Bureau of the Bureau of Animal
Industry?
Ans: 1t carries on research on
animal diseases. including chemical.
meteorological and geological in
vestigations, Investigations in dairy
ing animal breeding and feeding.
CUES: We have a COW barn with
no loft above. We have never been
able to keep paint on this ceiling
owing to the frost and freezing from
above. Would a few inches of saw
dust or shavings or straw placed on
top of this ceiling stop the freezing?
Ans: Sawdust, shavings. or straw
would be very material assistance in
keeping frost from appearing on the
ceiling of. the cow stable. To be of
the largest value. however. adequate
ventilation would necessarily have to
be installed in the barn to take off
the excess moisture. 1t is doubtless
the excess moisture in the air pass
ing up to the exposed and cold cell
ing that causes the collection of frost.
CUES: I have nice Guernsey
heifer months old which has a
swollen knee. 1t has probably been
caused by kneeling on concrete or
in some other way become bruised.
Can this be cured?
Ans: Serum has collected in sac
in front of the knee and not in the
joint. Bruising is the cause. Move
the heifer into a we'll bedded pen or
box stall. If the condition is of re-
cent origin resorption of the fluid
may occur. Battle the knee several
times daily with vinegar and cold
water and 2 or times a week paint
fhe swelling with tincture of iodine.
If that does not prove true it will be
necessary to have your veterinarian
liberate the fluid by lancing and in
struct YOU how to give appropriate
after treatment

Better Homes
In America-1926

Plans for the 1926 Better Homes in
America campaign in Millinocket got
under way this week with the ac-
ceptance of Mrs. Nelson Felix as
chairman of the local volunteer Bet
ter Homes Committee for Millinoc-
ket.
The appointment as local chairman
was made by Herbert Hoover. Secre-
tary of Commerce, who is president
of Better Homes in America.
This movement, entirely non-com-
mercial in character, originated in a
suggestion by the late President
Harding, who had keen interest IN
it. His successor, President Cool
idge, while he was Vice President
and in his present office as our Ma
TONS Chief Executive, has warmly
endorsed the movement, and identi-
fed his name with it. Begun as a
private enterprise. it soon reached
such proportions that it's founders
realized that it must be put upon an
independent basis. A reorganizat ton
was effected, Mr.. Hoover becoming
president of Better Homes in Amer
lea, and DR.. James Ford. of the fac
ulty of Harvard University, was Sc
cured to assume active direction Of
the movement, which post he still oc-
cupies.
Briefly. the detectives sought by
Better Homes in America are:
1. To make accessible to all citi-
zens knowledge of high standards in
house building, home furnishing, and
home life.
2. To encourage the building of
sound, beautiful, single family hous-
es, and to encourage the Gecondition-
q nd no oil u I.
j. To encourage thrift for home
ownership, and to spread knowledge
of methods of financing the purchase
OF building of home.
4. To encourage general study Of
the housing problem and of problems
OF family life, and to help each com-
munity to benefit from it's study.
8. TO encourage the furnishing of
homes economically and in good
taste.
8. To supply knowledge of the
means of eliminating drudgery ana
waste Of effort in housekeeping, and
to spread information about public
agencies. which will assist house
keepers in their problems.
Z. To encourage the establishment
or courses of instruction in home &c
onomics in the public schools, and
particularly the construction of
school practice houses and home eco
Monies cottages where girls in our
public schools and colleges may by
actual practice, learn the best meth
DDS of conducting household opera
lions and of home making
8. To promote the Improvement Of
house lots, yards and neighborhoods,
and to encourage the making of home
gardens and home Fairgrounds.
9. To extend knowledge of the
ways of making home life happier.
through the development of home
music, home play. home arts and
crafts, and the home library.
To encourage special study and dis
cussion of the problem of characte..
building in the home.

No Poultry Show at
Bangor This Year

The board of managers of the Ban
gor Poultry Association, with deficit
staring them in the face, and an I'M
responsive public to eater to. have,
decided to omit the show this year
at least.
For the past few years the Bangor
Poultry Association have staged fine
exhibitions Of poultry which have
included anywhere from 1900 to 1900
birds. including hens, geese, ducks,
turkeys, and a wide variety of poul-
try of all classes. t.
Notwithstanding the excellence of
the shows, the addition of interest
ing talks, esq laying and other con-
tests, the public has persisted in
fighting shy of the show. A very
small amount has been taken in in
admittance fees and the expenses
which have been down to the mini
mum as all officers have donated
freely of their time and work with
out recompense, have exceeded the
receipts from admittance fees. booth
space for advertisers, the advertis-
ing in premium lists, and the state
aid.
The Association has purchased
over 1000 steel cages TO keep the
by enlisting the aid of the Bangor
merchants but at present has a def
cit of over $500. This will be met
in some way and the officials feel
that any more shows would but add
to this Indebtedness
Notwithstanding the failure of the
public to show what they believe to
be proper appreciation Of the show
which is widely known as one of the
best shows in New England in its
class, the officers of the association
feel that they have done worth while
work in increasing the interest in
poultry work, many more people hav-
ing become raisers of birds ana the
egg harvest showing a substantial
increase.
On Monday night the Association
will hold regular meeting at
which many problems will be taken
up for consideration and plans will
be made for handling the deficit, as
we'll as other matters of interest to
be considered.

I raise quite a crop Of peaches IN raw

peach trees and as many more apoue
to come into bearing. The 1anGy
neaches. many of which weigh nearly
half a pound are sold in round Tour

basket at the farm. Many are sofa at
wholesale at this price, as tree rip
ened peach is so far superior 10 .ne
kind which is picked unripe ana ZIP
ened in storage, that customers are
willing to pay the extra price.
FROM the summer people VINO come
tn the farm to buy peaches anu

also use the E-Z PAX bushel pasket
and barrels. These packages, espec-
ially the cartons and and l6 quarry
packages are shipped to nearly an
parts of the United States and ar
rive in perfect condition.
To get the high quality fruit neces-
sary for these shipments the trees
have to receive extra good care such
as fertilizer, spraying, pruning and
fully as important as any thing IS
the thinning of the fruit which IS
done early in July. We thin to leave
only one apple to the fruit spur and
then il we wish something extra
fancy take off enough more so that
the apples are to inches apart on
the branch. This results in extra
large, perfect fruit. Maine apples
compare favorably in size and beauty
with the famous Pacific Coast apples
and have a more delicious flavor, but
we hurt our markets by putting for
sale in the grocery stores lot of in
ferior fruit which is dumped into old
market boxes on the floor and then
handled about as carefully as coal
would be. The result is most unin-
viting looking apple fit only for pies
IL anything. This selling of Gull APP
pies for ordinary use decreases the
use and lowers the price of all ap-
pies.
