G. l.. Wentworth of the Church Hill
road. believes he has a piece of
potatOes,that is n record breaker in its
way. Not that the crop is likely to be
a big or early one, but the peculiar
thing about this particular piece of
tubers is that there has never been n
potato bug on it during the season.
despite the fact that there has been no
application Of Paris green or kindred
preparations. Add to this the fact tina.
there are three other fields Of potatoes
in close proximity to this one which are
almost covered with bugs despite all
the patent bug killers that can be an
piled, and the occurrence seems all the
more remarkable. One of the adjoin-
ing fields is also owned by Mr. Went
worth and the kind of potatoes used for
seed were identical and the same
fertilizers applied and yet the bugs are
thick in spite Of all he can do. Mr..
Wentworth says he never heard IF
anything like it and the people in tho
neighborhood are equally puzzled over
the circumstance. Mr.. and Mrs. Went
worth have visited the piece frequently,
but neither of them has ever seen even
n single bug. Perhaps some of the
Journal readers have heard of such an
occurrence. but people in that vicinity
are wondering what the cause can be.

Hon. a. W. Gilman, commissioner of
agriculture, was at the State House
Friday, having closed the series of in
stitutes which he has been holding in
Hancock, Washington and Aroostook
counties, eight in all. and which proved
to be the largest most enthusiastic and
far reaching ever held in these
counties. When, in the busy season,
$40 or more leave their duties to attend
an educational gathering, it speaks
volumes for the interest in the vital
questions relating to our agriculture.
Mr. Gilman expressed himself as
especially pleased with the speakers
and subjects.
Mr.. r. NJ. Kelsey of Connecticut
proved most valuable lecturer on the
soil and plant life Mr. r. II. Libbey of
Newport, presented small fruits in Il
most interesting manner, and DR.. G. NJ.
Twitchell of Augusta discussed the
education of the masses. or industrial
education ard more starch" plea for
the potato, its development and pro-
lection.
In AroostOok. the great fields of
| potatoes, whta at and oats, the grain be-
| ing just ready for the reaper, was a
surprise, the yield Of grain being ex
| ccpti pnally heavy, and the quality
superior.
Mr.. Gilman is enthusiastic over the
outlook in Aroostnok. as well as in
Washington and Hancock counties, and
says that never has he found the
farmers so alert to questions, and 50
PROMPT to declare their purpose to
increase farm operation as during the
past two weeks.
A feature of these institutes which
proved of unusual interest was the
question box one half hour or more be-
| ing necessary at each institute to
answer the questions deposited by the
farmers and their wives. These bore
directly upon individual farm work.
and clear sharp incisive answers We're
demanded, no time being allowed for
| discussion.
The. desire to meet Dairy Instructor
| Thompson and have him visit the farm
houses, inspect the methods and prac-
! tees. and assist in clearing away diff
fc,lltieS were 50 general. that he VIII
remain in Washington county for some
days. The wisdom of the act creating
| this office at the request of the dairy
man Of the State, wound never be called
in question by any individual. if they
could see the good work now being
done. and the service he is rendering
the state.
Il tell you," said Commissioner Gill
man. Il never was so proud of Maine
as to-day. and unless something unfor-
seen cores in the record of 1904, the
substantial crops Of the State will sur
prise the most enthusiastic, Maine is
