One Maine citizen, who has dis
covered a successful method Of farm
ing the year round, Is George V.
Brown of Caribou, who visited the
State Department of Agriculture
Saturday to confer with the officials
in regard to seed potatoes. Mr..
Brown raises a large crop of
Spaulding Rose potatoes every year
at Caribou, planting upwards of 80
-f 1ai
enough from his neighbors to give
him control of about 5000 sacks
every Fall. These he takes to
Florida, where he disposes of part Of
them to farmers there for seed, al
so planting about 20 acres of his
own, which he cares for during the
winter months, marketing them to
good advantage later He thus
finds an excellent opportunity of
carrying on his line of work twelve
months out of the year. AS the
farming season in Maine is not a
long one, Mr. Brown feels that his
annual Florida pilgrimage solves one
of the main difficulties connected
with the farming industry in the

"Observer" in the Lincoln County
News writes this:
A man standing on the brow Of a
hill overlooking a lake in Maine"
turned to his companion with these
words, "Veritably it Is Gods Garden"
The sun was rising over the lake and
the breezes laden with perfume
swept from the forests to the north
bringing the odor Of fir and pine
tree. Suddenly it dawned upon
those tourists what precious and
priceless thing was that very breeze
with it's balsam Of healing.
They had travelled in California
with it's roses and sunshine. They
had spent the winter among the
orange groves of Florida. They had
been in Texas with it's vast areas Of
alfalfa and corn. They had gone
down one coast and up another and
wearying of their own land, had
crossed the sea to behold the beauty
Of blue Italian lakes and glory Of the
midnight sun. And it remained for
them, lingering there in the lush
sweetness and freshness Of that rosy
dawn, to look upon that vista Of
loneliness and find Goods Garden"
