sort and grade 1t and wrap it in tis-
sue paper as our competitors do. We
raise nearly barrel of apples now
for each inhabitant of the State.
IT believe a business man appre-
ciates the stability of patronage as
much as the patron or customer ap-
preciates square dealing and good
service on the part of the merchant.
Every man owes something to the
general prosperity of the State. He
is a part of the State, a part OF the
social fabric, its industry and Its
moral consciousness. He has a re-
sponsibility in every activity which Is
going on. If he shirks it, he fails in
his part.
About third Of our people are en-
gagged in the production of food pro-
ducts. about a third in manufacturing
and about third in the professional
and commercial enterprises. This is a
fine balance OF our interests. We
have 10000 farms with a possible
farm area of 100000 acres. Not
more than fifth of this was culti-
waited last year. We raise less than
a third of what we consume. We
could raise two thirds of it or more.
If all farmers could get reasonable
percentage of what we pay for our
food, they could make it pay here in
Maine.
"When we set down the items in
use for food, clothing and shelter, 1t is
surprising how many of the necessary
articles we can and do produce at
home We produce on our farms
about $100,000,000 in products. We
have purchasing power of about
5000, 000, 900. We manufacture about
$5O0,00O,00 worth of articles. We
ought to have strong margin of
profit, out of which we can build
roads, maintain schools, support hos
pitfalls and churches and provide
recreation and amusement. When we
include the $5O,O00.OO0 brought to us
by our summer visitors. we should
have a fine margin of profit and a
good bank account for the State of
Maine.
There is one other item worthy of
notice. OF the $2.000,0 100000 of intrin-
sic wealth in the State less than one
half is developed and utilized. We
have opportunities awaiting the right
sort of vision and initiative. We have
opportunities for successful careers
for all of our young people if we can
hut point the way"

o. Thomas of Augusta, Maine COM
missioner of education. in an address
here today before the members of the
brunswick Rotary Club, on Maine
PRODUCTS" declared that the slogan on
Buy Baine Products" is the awaken
ing of the consciousness that we are
all members of one body and the well
fare of one affects the whole body.
THE State of Maine has an intrin-
sic value or capital investment of
$2,OOO,000,0O0 continued DR.. Thomas.
Our agriculture our industries, our
transportation facilities and our COM
merclal provisions are the feet, the
hands, the circulation, nervous and
respiratory systems. Neglect Of or in
jury to one leaves it's influence SYM
pathetically upon the whole.
This attempt to bring together the
varied and various interests of the
State in sort of federated whole is
the building of state morality.
which must ultimately mean a greater
prosperity. contentment and happi-
ness of the whole people.
las rule each particular activity
as forestry, agriculture, industry and
commerce is left to make it's own way
and the units within these enterprises
must make their way as best they
can.
when we begin to realize that the
prosperity of one must in a measure
reflect the prosperity of all we see the
necessity of forming as a State wide
enterprise sort of conspiracy for the
promotion of the welfare of all the
people.
When man opens an essential
business enterprise in a community
we all hold a sort of equity in the
project. AS we support the business we
make it possible for him to reduce
costs and increase service. When we
patronize outside concerns and send
our money away we are reducing the
deposits in our banking institutions
and the per capita circulation of our
currency. If we produce more than
we consume and sell the surplus
abroad the balance of trade comes to
us and we increase the savings ac-
counts in our banks. Let us patron
ize home industries f1rst-let us dis
criminate in favor of our neighbors
and our neighbors may patronize us.
when We buy Oregon apples we
not only buy a product which has not
the flavor of our own, but we add to
the problem of the husbandmen of
Maine. If we patronize the home
grower we make it possible for him
to feed his trees and spray his fruit,
