CONCERNING POTATO BALLS.

Why They are Borne Much Less FREE
quently Than Formerly.
MANY have noticed the absence OF the
balls on potato plants !; and wishing to know
the reason why Wayland Knowton, ESQ,
of this city addressed letter of enquiry to
the Maine Experiment Station at Orono.
He received the following reply under date
of April 9th:
Dear Sir: Your letter of April 4th is at
hand. | do not know that anyone can give
perfectly clear explanation of why potato
balls are borne so much less frequently than
formerly. Very likely the variety grown
has very much to do with it. You, OF course,
understand that the potatoes are not propa-
gated from true seed but by cuttings; that
is from the tubers which are practically I'M
derground stems. In this way there has
been very little attention paid to the proper
pollination, and the potato is not self Ter
tilzing and insects do not work upon IT,
Likely in the varieties which are now grown
the introduction of the pollen is more diffl
cult than in those that were grown years
ago Furthermore the use of Paris green
and spraying with Bordeaux mixture at the
time in which the plants are in full bloom
doubtless Injuries the pollen. BY hand pol
lination, that is by getting the pollen on TO
the stigma with a camePs hair brush OF
similar way, there is little difficulty in fer
tilizing the flowers so as to form the fruit.
There is no advantage in growing the po-
tatO balls unless one is trying to develop
new varieties, in which case great care
should be taken to cross pollenlze from
strong plants, usually selecting as parents
plants from two different strains or varle-
ties. Yours truly,
C. ID. WOODS. Director.

BIGGEST HAUL IN YEARS

Big Stock of Liquors Found in Bangor

BANGOR, April II. The liquor depu-
ties made the biggest haul for years
late Tuesday afternoon from a stable
on Adams street where they secured
six barrels of whiskey and quantity
of case goods, including 1000 bottles of
ale and lG bottles of whiskey. The
outfit was taken to the store room at
the court house and libeled. The owner
of the goods is not known but it is
generally thought to be a well known
saloonman.
The raid came as surprise and was
the talk of the town Tuesday evening,
coming as it did after three unsuccess-
full raids earlier in the day. Since the
continuous raiding was begun by the
sheriffs forces three weeks ago the
big stocks have been removed to store
houses which have been considered safe
from the raids of the deputies but
Tuesdays raid and big haul has set the
liquor men thinking.
In Old Town Wednesday morning
two Bangor deputies made seizure at

ment station at Orono, states that the
whole of the territory from kittery to
Bar Harbor where nests of brown-tail
moth has been discovered had been can

feels justified in saying that the work
has been done so thoroughly there need
not be the least Apprehension as to the

The work has been greatly aided by
