Great Future for Maine

In an interview with the Portland Ex-
press, George Pottle of Lewiston, a men,
Der Of the State board of assessors,
cultural future for Maine, basing his
predictions on the facts CLEANED by the
board this past year.
favorable year for the farming sections,
the board of assessors have very cheer
full view of farm property. The farms
are worth more than five years ago
While five years back many local boards
declared that farms were valued for every
cent they would sell for, the situation is
totally different this year. Throughout
the State farms for the most part this
year are worth considerably more than
they are assessed for.
1.-The building industry also has taken
a boom the past year; the conditions
have been favorable; the materials some
lower and labor more plentiful. There
have not been nearly as many unemploy-
ed man as heretofore.
CAS- shown by the valuation of local
boards Maine has gained since 1900 in
round numbers $40, 900, 900 in valuation;
"a rate of nearly SO, 900, 900 year. This is
exclusive of the wild lands.
Maine growth has been for the last
few years, and will be in the future, based
on the growth of her industries, and
these have great prospect ahead. We
are State peculiarly adapted to indus
try with our cheap and abundant power,
and other advantages so much sought by
manufacturers.
I'm the older part of the State the in
crease in value in farms depends wholly
on the growth of manufacturing indus
tries to build up nearby markets.
"While the general business depres-
sion has slackened things in way, yet
believe we shall soon see much more
favorable conditions.
maine has before it one great agri-
cultural industry, the possibilities OF
which have not yet been half conceived.
This is the raising of potatoes. 1t will
not be many years before this vegetable
will be raised in almost every county IN
great quantities. Contrary to some
what general impression, Aroostook
County, now the home of the potato in
dustry, will not hold the market eXclus-
lively in the future. 1t is true that the
soil of Aroostook County is particularly
adapted to the raising of potatoes, but
with the proper kind of dressing farms
almost anywhere in the State can be
made to yield big crop of this indispen-
sable table vegetable.
"Some farms in Aroostook County have
recently been sold for fabulous prices,
and l know of one in particular, of but
200 acres, which brought S22, 1000, and
this was not bit more than it was
worth
''The real estate dealers are now also
making the same endeavor to sell farm
property that they do city lots and this
increased activity is helping the valuat-
ion.
''On one farm Of less than five acres in
absolutely one of the poorest districts OF
the State, 1,527 bushels Of potatoes were
raised this year. From the little town
of Fort Kent this year they will ship l, 900
carloads of potatoes; while in the little
town of Hampden, so, 900 barrels, equiva-
lent to about 10000 bushels will be
shipped.
"Aroostoock County now ranks third
in the United States in the value of it's
farms, and the town Fort Fairfield
ranks first

tend to propel the machine faster than
twenty miles per hour. All decrease in
speed must be made up for by an in
crease in surface spread Of wing or aero
plane, and vice versa. The greater the
speed the smaller may be the planes to
carry given weight.
One of the most important facts now
settled in this science is that you do not
have to increase your power of propul-
sion as fast as you increase your speed,
as is the case,.with locomotives and steam
boats. This strange fact is due In part
to the following conditions, namely: Take
hold of the string Of kite in calm
day and walk fast and the kite will fly
clear of the ground, but the angle of the
kite will be almost straight up and down
with slight lean forward. Thus the kite
meets an air pressure resistance nearly
the full bigness of the kite, which great
resistance is needed to hold it up at this
speed. Then start and run with the kite
and the faster you go the f1atter the
kite will lay in the air until you can give
it such speed that the kite will lay al
most horizontal with the earth, and as it
thus takes more and more the horizontal
position it presents less and less of the
perpendicular surface to resist the air
and consequently the kite pulls but very
little harder at the greatest speed than
it did when you were only walking.
Another needed feature of the aero
drome is that it is not made to alight in,
rise from or sail in the water. The French
