Hon. A. w. Gilman, commissioner of
agriculture, was at the department
Friday, having come from Bangor
where he had been in attendance ut
the Eastern Maine State fair. Mr.
Gilman said that the fair was a good
one, and the attendance large especial
~ that of Wednesday, but that the eX-
hibitS were smaller than on some
former years. The display of fruit
and vegetables, owing to the back
wardness of the season, and the ex-
hibit of stock was also small, but
what the exhibit lost in numbers was
more than made up in the quality OF
the animals. The next big fair on the
list is the Maine State fair at Lewis

In speaking of the conflicting re-
ports regarding the apple crop Mr.
| Gilman said that the crop throughout
| the State would be uneven, and thai
! while in some sections there would be
| a good crop, in others it would b'
| small. One thing which has affected
| apples to considerable extent is th'
| long continued drouth.
| The potato crop also, said the com
| missioner. is an uncertainty at th'
| present time. The backward season
| and the continued wet weather in tn
spring hd3e combined TO injurc tn
potato crop. and the blight and rus
| which were due to the two latter con
| ditiOns have done their work in tn
potato fields. Mr.. Gilman said that VI
| in AroostoOk county where 1S,OO0,O0
| bushels of potatoes were raised las
| year. it was estimated that Their
| would be n reduction of the crop thl
| year to about 100000 bushels. IN
weather Of the next three weeks Woul'
he said, mean a great deal to the pc
tatoeS and corn in the State. and II J
| should prove dry it would be q grea
| help to both crops.
