failure of the potato crop this year, or the cabbage crop next 

 year, will affect us materially. The product of our dairies will 

 command a price that will not vary much from year to year. If 

 we will make dairying the foremost branch of our agriculture, 

 and plant such crops as will assist us to feed our animals, with 

 the proper kind of animals, of which we have some and can 

 breed more, then I believe we will have the problem solved. 

 We will have a certain amount of money coming to us every 

 month and can depend upon it without the fear of a failure of 

 the crop or of low prices. I feel confident that the farmers in 

 Maine can successfully employ dair^'ing as a safety valve to 

 their agriculture, on which they can depend for a good living.
