FARM (Wiritten Specially For The Bulletin.) B4 you bappen to knew that it costs the ayerage Yank of New England §3 a ‘Week more for bis rations than it costs the average westerner or southerner for ly the same rations? Testigations carrled on since 1910 ghoy that his food has cost the New Ergland wage-earner from 25 to 47 per cent. more during those years than the very same kind and amount of food has cost southern and western -efrners. 24 Plmply because the New England werkman buys three-quarters of all his fodd from the west and south—pays as much for it. there, as the local workman —tken pays extortionate freight charges to the raiiroads for hauling it to bom—and aiso pays further high charges, often amounting to profiteer- ing. to local distributors, ¢ every dollar which this average Yank spends for food seventy-five cents #0 to the west and south and only twen- MPOSSMHIBOF‘NEWLMONCOUMY LAND. don county could produce things? allow its own oranges and lemons and tea and coffee and nutmegs.

It's evident that our figures are still too big for us. Let's be doubly gener- ous to the “doubting Thomases.” !&U cut that estimate still deeper—cut it to the bone, as the bargain store advertise- ments do prices. Let's assume that It would require ope whole acre to feed one person a year. That's certainly put- ting it moderately and modestly. Even then, the farm lands of New London county are capable of feeding its entire population and leaying half thelr total production for export to gsome other county ‘which hasn't got emergy and foresight and vim enough to take care of itself! I do not Uke to guote looal namef without the direct consent of their own- ers. But one of the biggest and best known farmers of Norwich was recent- ly ‘asked the questionm, oumrlu' *“Could Norwich be fed from, the Dproducts of its immediately adjoining farms?” He mulled over it guite a few minutes. Then he answered, deliberately and Wwith conviction: '¥es, #ir, I am sure it could—and could - export foodstuffs, too.” Dr. Twitchell, a. famous Maine au- thority ‘In farming matters, who has been working for years op his own farm to try and find out how much it a tables? a as.|conld bs made to deliver, recently k:!d :;?e:na (;sen ‘1‘;1‘- t;e“:::'é:slgnal wrote: “I have almost come to believe picnie? : that the sky is the limit to crop-produc- It ien't doing anything of this sort, now.
