Overview

Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1912 The year 1912 has been a backward year for the farmer. The cold wet spring deprived him of the opportunity of putting in his crops when they should be put in, and he was obliged to change his plans and put in others that he did not intend to grow, crops that were not for his advantage, causing him a great loss in not growing those that will demand the best prices in the market. One of the most important outlooks for the State is the farm crop, and if the farmer does not succeed, it affects in a way the whole State; for we are called on more and more every year to reach out with our farm products and feed the large and increasing population of New England and other parts of the country. And the farmer must receive more for his crops in the future to enable him to cultivate more land to keep up with the increasing population of consumers. The past year most of the crops have fallen short of those of the two years previous. Though the heavy rains that fell the past season did interfere with the crop growing, it is a blessing that we had so much rain. It will surely assist us in the future. Still the rainfall, coming when it did, was a great drawback to all branches of agriculture in the State; but let us hope that we will get better conditions and better crops another year.
