ARooSTook POTATOES
Shipped During November to Amount
of 1851 Bushels.

The shipments of potatoes from the
Bangor &; ArCoStook Railroad during the
month of November amounted to 7l65II
bushels. This makes the total shipments
of the crop of 1908 to date ISIS, O9S bushels;
or an increase of 390.559 bushels over the
same period last year. The total increase
of the November crop is 129,3i7 bushels;
over 1904 Owing to the fact that the
metropolitan markets have been influence
cd by the large quantity Of foreign pota-
toes received. the Aroostook shippers have
not been over-anxious to unload their 20
tato"s up TO the present time, for 70 do
50 they would have to soil at 4 price
pushed way down by the presence of the
foreign spuds.
Nearly all of the Aroostook shippers
have large contracts ahead for seed po.a-
toes to nc delivered in January and Feb
ruary. a large proportion of these seed
potatoes will go to Texas but many of
the other Southern states will also re-
ceive the Aroostook tubcrs. There is Il
big demand for Aroostook potatoes owing.
to the superior quality and it is this quail
ity which has been responsible for the
large shipments so far, this fall The
Aroostook potatoes have been found to be
hetted adapted to shipment and handling
than those of either New York of Michi-
gan and they invariably command bet
ter price than either of the latter varfc-
tics.
Of course the Afoostook sp,rds have to
compete with the Michigan and New York
potatoes and up to this time the Aroos-
took shippers have been placed at a disad-
vantage owing to the difficulty of getting
cars and satisfactory transportation facil-
itics for their product. This difficulty is
now overcome in large measure by the
opening of the rail and water route from
Aroostook to Stockton and by steamers
to Boston and New York. Contracts have
already been made with Aroostook ship
pers whereby 800 cars, or about 10000
bushels. of potatoes win be sent to Texas.

Thr next speaker was Mrs. T.. H.
Marsh, who. according to the grateful
Introduction which was given her, was
largely responsible for the creation Of
one of the chief attractions of the fair
viz, the beautiful interior of the Coli
scum. Mrs. Marsh's words came from
her lips deliberately. distinctly and yet
fervently. She spoke of the fact that
she had been a member of an agricul-
tural fair since the years of girIhood
and it was all due to a bit of instruc-
ton given her and which was put into
practice on her fathers farm in the
way of increasing the value Of labor
and its products that she realized the
Importance Of agricultural education.
Her line Of thought was similar to
that Of Mayor Purinton rs she showed
the relation to growing Natures prod
uctS of the soil to that of raising a cuI-
turcd quality of young men. Her idea
of success was so broad as to link to
all successful rHdeayor, the one aim of
improved social and moral living. eve

their children and feel perfectly safe

fair. since all of the best ideals of Sue

cent visit made III Bangor during Fair

Her closing words were words or
thanks. thankfully expressed. She was
thankful for courteous help which had
been given the women in their work
and thankful that she had the privi-
lege of sharing in their success. Her
recommendation that the Central Maine
Fair should offer to the rising genera
ton inducements in the way of awards
for satisfactory results in Nature study
met with hearty applause.
Miss Kate Ellis of Fairfield, spoke in
elegant diction and with many witty
illusions which created much merri-
inent on the class of work which she
was instrumental as having charge of
the exhibition building.
