has never been considered the thing to
do in winter in Maine, Mr.. Green
states that as much of this line runs
through swamp lands 1t appears to be
the best method by far. Very little
ledge has been encountered and four
tons of dynamite was used to complete
the work.
The work has been accomplished
with no serious injuries to any of the
crew, and has been completed with a
saving of 100000 to the town.
Much credit is due the engineering
concern for the fast and efficient work
that they have accomplished. Their
contract will be practically completed
March l where the contract called for
a completion on September /, 1925.

period necessary to completely wine
out the mill purchase Indebtedness.
MIR. link pointed out that the sue
cess OF the Eastern States Farmers
exchange has been largely due to
the sense OF obligation which Di-
rectors and Executive Committee
members have always felt toward
their offices in the Exchange. These
men have never considered their
positions honorary, but on the con-
trary have considered them an obli-
cation to see that the Exchange they
have been elected to direct serves to
the full the best interests of the
farmer members.
charles e. Lee. General Manager of
the milling property at Buffalo, gave
his report on the first year of the
milling operations, and said in part,
you have already been informed
regarding the history of the purchase
OF the milling property at Buffalo.
and the description of this property
has been outlined to you, so that l
will not dwell on either of these
points. 1t is sufficient to say that,
the Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change owns and operates one of the
largest and most up-to-date feed
manufacturing plants in the country,
located at the most logical point
from which to serve the eastern
trade. Buffalo is the gateway for
grain and grain products moving
east. There is not a single one of the
great railroads running from Chicago
eastward which does not strike Buff
falo. Furthermore. Buffalo has with
in the past few years become the
greatest of the Great Lakes shipping
ports. The big flour mills have to a
large extent moved their activities
from the West to Buffalo. The lin
seed crushers have followed the same
course. This means that from both
OF these sources important feed prod
your mill. The Buffalo mill. however
does not have to depend upon the
Buffalo market unless the Buffalo
market works to advantage over
such western markets as exist at ST.
Louis, Peoria, Chicago or Mime
apolis. since the Buffalo mill is in
position to use products from any of
these sources to just as good ad-
vantage as mills located in any other
part OF the country. The through
rates on grain and grain products
make this possible. For cottonseed
meal Buffalo has an advantage not
possessed by western plants. in that
it is in position to use meal shipped
from eastern southern states and to
pass it east on transit rates.
There is an old proverb that you
cannot make bricks without straw,
and it is a modern problem that you
cannot make good feeds with a low
grade of materials. Your Buffalo
mill during its operation has ac-
quired a reputation among the trade
as an exclusive user of the very best
materials which the market can fur
nish."

| ANNUAL MEETING
(special to the Kennebec JotfrnaD

Especial to the Kennebec Jo1rnaD
Springfield, Mass, Feb. 23-An-
other year of expansion for the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange
was reviewed at the annual meeting
at Springfield. Mass. February %.
Farmers from all the New England
States, Delaware, Pennsylvania and
Maryland attended the all day ses-
sion and the banquet in the evening.
More than 800 farmers and their
wives were on hand.
Announcement was made Of the
declaration by the Directors Of a
patronage dividend Of n Of leo, the
first in the years of the Exchanges
existence. The bylaws require that
two thirds of the reserve accumulat-
ed each year after surplus of $780,
600 is established be distributed to
the patrons. Out Of the $70,765 &C
cumulated in 1925. $24.41S went to
complete the 100000 reserve fund,
and two-thirds Of the balance. of
$30,S9S, will go back to the members
during the course of the next few
weeks in the form Of patronage divi-
dends.
The following men were elected
from the State of Maine to serve for
1925 as Directors:
Donald w. Ellis. Fairfield: Harold
e. Chapman, owner Of the Pencome
Poultry Plant at East Corinth;
George B. Dow, Dover; D. e. Foster.
Augusta.
John D. link, General Manager,
showed that the Exchange had serv-
ed more than 10000 members during
1925, living in eight states and taking
delivery at 657 different shipping
stations,-59S carload stations. and
the balance stations to which less
than carload fertilizer and feed
orders were sent last spring. The
total business done in 1925 amounted
to $5,979,965, compared with $685.
554 in 1924. This volume was handl-
ed at cost of 1850.
BY it's purchase Of the milling
property in Buffalo. N. Y. in April,
1925, the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange came into direct control of
its buying and mixing activities.
This farmer control of mill with the
annual capacity of over 100000 tons
groups in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania. Representatives of these
groups have asked the Exchange to
New England and Delaware and share
with them the advantages of this
milling property. Eastern States
food cars are already being shipped
to Farm Bureau groups in Maryland,
and in the early spring shipments
to some Pennsylvania stations will
commence.
Mr.. link pointed out that the men,
bers are paying their own mill the
same mixing charge which they
formerly paid private food manu-
facturer, and that this sum. $3.50 a
ton, is not only paying for the mill
ing of the feed but is reducing the
debt incurred in the purchase of the
mill. The increased milling revenue
which the added volume from the
PENNSYLVANIA and Maryland groups
will give the mill will reduce the

Especial to Kennebec Journal)
What seems to be one Of the most
unique engineering feats in history is
about to be completed in this town.
Green & Wilson, contractors of Wat
erville. having just laid four and one
third miles Of pipe for the new water
system, through frozen ground.
When the Dover-Foxcroft Water
District on November IS of last year,
voted to expend $S0,000.0O for a new
water system, with the source at Sal
mon Pond Stream, 1t was thought that
little or no work could be done until
spring, unless possibly the cutting of
the trees along the route to be taken
and other slight preparations.
The week following Green & Wilson
of Waterville took the contract
to run the pipe and connect the
water with the pipes in town. The
4th of December the first car
load of pipe arrived and work was
commenced on December 10; on Feb
ruary 13 the entire stretch of pipe had
been laid and the crew are now
working on the intake pipe at the
pond. An average of 80 men have
been working. not day has been lost
and the ground covered with unusual
rapidty.
Universal cast-iron pipe has been
used instead of the ordinary pipe
which is usually used in work of this
nature. This pipe fits together and
then is drawn to the proper place by
the use of bolts. Had the ordinary pipe
been used it would have been impos-
sible to make the connections as rap
idly or as safely in freezing weather.
The pipe used on the main line is 10
inch while that on the intake is IL
inch.
The pipe is laid in about three or
four feet of earth, in some places
varying to 10 feet.
While in New York Mr.. Green asked
the manager what an average days
work was for the laying of the pipe,
and was told that their record was
500 or 600 feet; this was a very pleas
ant surprise to Mr.. Green as his crew
has been laying on an average more
than this and in one day laid 100
feet.
A great many things have BEEN in
the favor of the doing of the work in
