Agriculture And It's
Place In The State

CBy Gov. Ralph o. Brewster)
Under the ! complicated economic
conditions of our day the great bust
ness interests of the country have
abundantly demonstrated that coop
Grafton alone spells progress. 1t is
becoming increasingly evident that
this same fundamental principle APP
plies in the agricultural field. The
great farm organization of our State
will naturally be depended upon to
coordinate the efforts of all con-
cerned with the advancement Of the
interest that they represent.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture is seeking earnestly to respond
made as to ways in which they may
be of service. Great advancement
has been achieved in the past ten
wears but this is only an augury of
greater progress that is just ahead.
With Legislature composed in
large measure of representatives
from sections having large agricut-
tural interests within their bounds
it is only natural that the legisla-
ture should give primary consider
alton to the farming problems of our
state.
Interchange of information &C
uuired from experience and expert
ment both within and without our
state is an obvious assistance that
state departments and institutions
may render to the practical farmer OF
Maine. The possibilities of this SER
vice are being constantly expanded
as the inquiries of the farmers point
the way.
Meanwhile the state may make
most constructive contributions to
farm relief by tightening the burden
Of taxation that rests to such ma
terial extent upon our farms and by
improvement of the roads and
schools that serve the rural regions
Of our state.
In the past ten years the policy of
giving larger aid to the rural schools
has abundantly justified itself in the
increase that is now discovered in
the number of children upon our
farms.
The last Legislature provided
$500, 10000 a year more than ever be-
fore in our history for the third class
roads that are, so important in max
ing accessible to the markets the
products Of our farms.
better road and a better SCI ii
and lighter tax bill are three most
substantial contributions to the agri-
cultural life of Maine and Lney
should all be increasingly diffused
among our rural population during
the years that are Just ahead.

until midnight. We played the
victrola and sang all the latest
songs.

open skies.
Monday night all gathered in the

hibition dance was given by Mary

ter which ice cream and cake were
served.
Tuesday, four of the girls walk
ed five miles down to Toms Har-

the girls went swimming and
crowded in as much fun as pos

Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Scribner have
done everything imaginable for
our comfort, and it is due to their
