Aroostook Politically Quiet but

Question

Greatly Excited on the Potato
Question.
FAIRFIELD, August 2S.-State Lecturer
G. M. Twitchell, who returned from Aroos-
took county today, reports excellent meet
ings and large attendance all through the
northern section. With Worthy State Master
Prince he has been through northern Pc
nobscot and Aroostook. and in fifteen days
held thirteen public meetings and twelve
grange sessions.
Aroostook county, Doctor Twitchell re-
ports, as extremely quiet politically but alive
on the potato question. An immense acre
age has this year been devoted to this crop
and the harvest now at hand bids fair to
nearly equal the yield of last gear. Already
buyers are offering S1.25 per barrel. with the
farmers Indifferent about selling. The starch
factories do not expect large business un-
less there is danger of rotting. Thus far but
little signs of rust are to be seen and the
farmers are happy.
The order of Patrons of Husbandry is
prGspering in Aroostook, as well as in Pc
nobsc0t, and the speakers were everywhere
promptly questioned as they discussed the
live questions of the day. One day was spent
in New Sweden, where steps were taken
which will soon result in the organization Of
a grange.
