The Barnstablepatriot The 25th annual meeting of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' associa- tion was held at the state experi- mental bog in East Wareham Tues- day, and was marked by a large at- tendance of members and a few noted experimenters who have done much in solving the troubles of Cape Cod cranberry growers. A business meeting was held in the morning at which the following offi- cers were elected: President—John C. Makepeace of Wareham. Vice President—M. L. Fuller ot Brockton. Seocnd Vice President—Seth C. C. Fiuney of East Carver. Secretary—L. C. Hall of Wareham. Treasurer—Irving C. Hammond of Onset. Directors—C. C. Wood of Plymouth, John C. Makepeace of Wareham, Joshua Crowelt of Dennis, Franklin E. Smith of Boston, Irving C. Hammond of Onset, L. C. Hall of Wareham, Ar- thur M. Kenney of Harwich, F. F. Marsh of Wareham , Seth C. C. Fin- ney of East Carver, S. N. May ^ o of Brookline, and M. L. Fuller of Brock- ton. That action will be taken in the matter of the employers' liability act is assured if it is ever attempted to be enforced upon the cranberry grow- ers. A motion was introduced by which the directors were authori zed to support any suit which may arise between insurance men and any in- dividual cranberry grower. The cran- berry producers state that the insur- ance people claim that a cranberry grower is not a farmer, and that therefore they are not exempt from the liability, and that they need the insurance to protect them against claims of their laborers who might be inj ured at work. The above motion was duly seconded and favorably vuieu upon . At noon the members of the asso- ciation partook of refreshments which were sold on the grounds, and the afternoon session opened about 2 o'clock. The afternoon session was devoted to the speakers, who were Professor T. W. Morse of the experi- mental station of Amherst, who gave an interesting treatise on the "Plant Food Needs of Cranberry Vines." A. U. Cheney of New York, selling agent ol the American Cranberry Ex- cha nge, spoke interestingly on the benefits of well packed cranberries. I Professor C. L. Shear of Waahing- | ton , D. C, representing the depart- ment of agriculture, gave an inter- esting talk on the diseases of the cranberry. Professor Shear stated that the softening of the berry after being packed is due to fungi in the berries, and that only seldom soft fruit is found to be free from germs of fungi. I Perhaps one of the most interesting talks of the afternoon and one which I will be of much use and value to the cranberry grower was the talk of Dr. Burton N. Gates, of the Massachusetts Agricultural college of Amherst , Mass, who talked on "The honey bee and cranberry growing." Dr. Fra nklin gave a detailed report of his researches this season , and also gavo statistics on the amount of cran- berries produced last and this year and comparing them. They re as follows: 1912 123,114 bbls. 1IU 1 1 12,506 bbls. This is an increase of 11 per cent. 1 CRANBERRY GROWERS MEET I The Old Colony Club held its an- nual summer outing at Padanaram last Thursday, with a feast of clams, lobsters and the other good things that go to make up a clambake, and also to listen to Boston's prospects as a world port as pictured by Gen. Hugh Bancroft, the Importance of the Cape Cod Canal to Boston, and to a variety of topics, from the squeteague that Pres. Charles S. Hamlin's daughter caught at an expense, he figured, of $48.62 in shrimp, to Gen. Chas. H. Taylor's livestock being worried by the noises of dredging operations for the canal. Capt. J. W. Miller spoke about the Cape Cod canal, particularly about the difficulties encountered during con- struction. Among those present were these gentlemen from the Cape: Capt. J. W. Miller, Sandwich Harrison P. Eddy, Monument Beach j Eben S. S. Keith, Sagamore j Henry J. Nazro, Buzzards Bay Louis Arenovsiil, Hyannis E. G. Pratt, Buzzards Bay Geo. W.

Crosby, Sagamore TH E FAI R The Barnstable County Agricultural Society has made all arrangements , for handling the big crowds that will j attend the Fair Tuesday, Wednesday J and Thursday. With such a fine pro- gram it is expected that more people j will attend this year than ever before. ', The program in full will be found on our first page. ' Phillips Ward Page of the Burgess Co. & Curtis, who will operate the air- ships at the Fair Tuesday and Thurs- ' day, says that flying as a sport really arrived with the perfection of the hydro-aeroplane. Before the advent of the marine flier sportsmen looked askance at flying because they be- lieved it held too great an element of danger due to the wide prejudice against aviation caused by the great number of deaths in this country in exhibition flying, and , in lesser mea- ure, to the fact that while flying over land there must always remain some danger to the aviator, however skill- ful and levelheaded he may be. But the advent of the marine flier has done much already to change the sentiment against flying. The hydro-aeroplane has attracted sportsmen because it is a great deal safer to fly than the land machines. Landings in the water are much more easy to make since a smooth , level service is always avail- able. Even a rough landing on water is not nearly so much to be feared as on land . Then , again , Mr. Page says that air currents over water are much more reliable than over land. An aviator taking the air from land must usually watch out for a vicious gust coming from behind a group of buildfng s or trees ?. nd be on the alert for troublesome up and down currents in the lee of hills. The aviator knows what tn pvnont over water. For example Mr. Page says that he himself a few weeks ago was flying a hydro-aeroplane accepted by the U. S. war department fn (he two hour never stop test. After being in the air about an hour Mr. Page noticed that the breeze was freshening nit since the fli ght was over water the strong wind which blew in from the sea did not hinder the finishing of .he flight. The hydro-aeroplane first became popular in the east last fall , and the Jurgess machine at once attracted at- ention. Mr . Page recently took up a parachutist in his hydro and allowed lim to make a parachute drop from a leight of 1200 feet—the first ever nade in a similar machine over water. M. Page proposes to have the fol- owing features at our Fair Tuesday md Thursday: There will be a larachute drop from hydroplane into he water, carrier pigeons let loose rom aeroplane in the air to fly back o Marblehead ; day light fire-works rom the aeroplane. H. P. Drew, considered by most good udges the best one-hundred yard man n the world, has accepted an invita- ion fo run in the games on Tuesday t the Barnstable Fair and will surely e there. I OLD COLONY CLUB OUTING Reception On Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Drew a large number of guests were entertained in honor of the recent marriage of their son, Mr. William I. Drew, Jr., and the birthday of his bride. The young couple assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Drew, Mr. and Mrs. George L. Thacher, parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney E. Nickerson, A. G. Cash, Esq., and Mr. W. A. Baldwin, received their guests. Refreshments of orange sherbet and cake were served.

Vesper Service A vesper service was held in the Universalist church yesterday after- noon and was well attended and much enjoyed. Mr. B. M. Davison played the new organ; Rev. P. L.

Her interpreta- tion and enunciation being faultless, par ticularly ap]>ealed to all, and it certainly was a delight to hear such a spiencitu artist. For a voice of such dramatic power and sweetness, her pianissimo is most unusual , being as beautiful and dear as a lyric soprano. Miss Provan is a well-known church concert, and oratorio singer of New York City, where she also teaches. She ' a the guest of Mrs. Wago' ner. Mr. and Mrs. David Provan and their mother. Mr s.

HYANNIS. j Cotuit is already one of our most j prosperous summer resorts, aod the j large oyster business now assures con- tinued prosperity to the residents who j live here the entire year Because of the large extent of the yet undeveloped shores of Popponessftt Bay and Suc- I canessett, the vilhige will probably be the largest summer resort on the Cape in the near fu'ure .

THACHER AT MARSHFIELD FAIR Tl«— /-, m. . - -- luuiuiis «-. i nacner ol Yarmouth, president of the Barnstable County Agricultural Society, was one of the speakers at the Marshfield Fair Thurs- day. Mr. Thacher spoke in commend- atory terms of the excellent work be- ing done by the State College, granges and agricultural societies generally. He said one of the great questions is how to keep the boy on the farms. "Back to the Farms" he admitted was a splendid slogan, but to attain this end, farms must be conducted on scientific and improved methods, and it is here that encouragement should be given by the State and National Government. He believed that the high cost of living is in part enhanced by the fact that there are too many consumers and not enough producers Mr. Thacher said he had believed for years that there Bhould be more effort by the farmer to sell direct by public markets or cooperative societies, for there is too big a gap between the producers and consumers. Last year the farm product of the United States j amounted to about $13,500,000, and of i this amount the farmer received only about $5,500,000 or, practically 43 per cent. I believe this is too big a differ- ence and that the fanner and con- sumer are getting the small end of the stick. It is time both got together. In many other lines of merchandise it Is the same. Take for example cotton goods. There is another big gap be- tween what the manufacturers re- ceive and what the consumers pay. Mr. Thacher said he believed heartily In more direct selling of merchandise, more public markets and more cooperative societies, tin —u »i--« " — — ¦ *«.- oaiu cnai uermany, Holland and Denmark are ahead of us in scienti- fic farming and Europe Is ahead In cooperative societies. It has been stated that there were 2985 retail cooperative societies in Great Britian with 2,800,000 members. One -whole- sale society called the Cooperative Wholesale Association, Limited of Manchester sold over $140,000,000 worth of goods last year. This so- ciety is owned by the local societies. They work -well in Europe. Why not try some of them here. I believe they nrould prove a benefit and help reduce the high cost of living. The raoea at the Barnsfable Fair promise to be of unusual interest this year. There Is a large field of mtrfes—from 15 to 20 in each event —and many speedy ones are among he bunch.

HrANNlS. j A N EW MERCHANT MARINE | Au era of shipbuilding and increased I touuuge of foreign freight in Ameri- j can bottoms may be looked for now | that the Pauama Canal bill has been sigueu by the president and the machinery for operating the "Great Ditch" created by Congress at last on the statute looks. "It means the re- habilitations of the American mer- chant marine," is a favorite expres- sion of scores of legislators, while those who have been making the fight 1 of their lives for a return to the old • order of things before the Civil war, as it relates to our own shipping, see in the Panama Canal bill a consumma- tion much to be desired. President Taft in his special message to Con- gress on the Panama Canal bill while in favor of free tolls for American vessels engaged in the coast-wise trade very diplomatically calls upon Congress to pass a simple joint reso- lution giving foreign powers the right to try out the question of discrimina- tion in favor of ourselves before the Supreme Court. In this way it is thought, will the alleged violation of (lie Hay-Pauncefote treaty be over- come and the rancor , over the legisla- tion enacted, be greatly allayed. However it is a triumph for Ameri- ca and Americans and they have a right to expect wonderful things in the way of increased commerce when the Panama Canal is open to the ships of the world. Street Light Lawn Party The great event of the week was the public lawn party held on the grounds of . \ir. Horatio B. Baker for the bene- tn ui the street lights. Under a corps of eflicient workers the Jawji and barn were transformed into a very attractive picture with h* Japanese lanterns , American flags, reii and Mue bunting and boqueta of flowers. A fine entertainment was gi\en by local and nearby talent augmented by some of our summer rusidi-uts and each and everyone were heartily app reciated and applauded. Other attractions of the evening were palm reading by I'rof. J. L. Crowell, the ice cream, cake, candy and lemon- ade tents and the hurdy-gurdy dance in the burn . Notwithstanding the fact that during the morning and late afternoon the weather was most in- auspicious, about seven the sky cleared and the moon and stars came out in their glory and a large audience gathered to get "More Illumination " for mind and street and a. very good sized sum fras added to the treasury of the Village Improve- ment Society. It was a most social affair and we trust that these gatherings will become more frequent. p , , . , t —i •¦ — ^««i«i. auu Airs. H. K. Baker, Mr. Adalbert and.Mr. Browning K.
