The bureau of labor statistics has re-
celVed from New York city a letter
relative to opening up of a market
there FOR Aroostook potatoes. At pres
ent Maine potatoes go to the Boston
market except those for local consump-
ton and seed which are sent all over
the country. New York gets most of
its potato supply from the West and
Prince Edward Island. but if the
freight rates are found to be moderat tie
II seems that there is a good market
FOR Maine tubers there. The letter asks
the bureau for information with an evil
dent view of opening up the New York
m1rhet if it is found feasible.
From Aroostook county come COM
plants of this years potato crop, and
ii is said that the yield per acre will
not be more than three-quarters that
OF last season. But when it is taken in
10 consideration that much larger
area of land is planted to the crop.
those who are supposed to know saw
that with good conditions from now
lut the total yield for Aroostook should
about equal that Of last year.
Ire potato bug has been more than
ordinarily destructive this season The
taimers have used great quantities Of
hscc ticides and sprays to prevent

satisfactory. These representatives. have
