wav to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflaned
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear

the result, and unless the inflammation can be

The Republican journal., 1909-10-21

Last season was an exceptionally favor
able one for growing and harvesting po-
tatoes, and the crop was SO profitable
that largely increased acreage was
planted this year. The conditions were
favorable up to about the time of harvest
ing. Then very heavy rainfall, sue
ceeding a period of drouth, thoroughly
saturated the ground, and was followed
by unseasonably hot weather. This pro-
duced rot in the tubers. On low lands
the crop is practically a total failure
and potatoes that when dug were free
from blemish laterdeveloped rot. The frs t
Aroostook potatoes sent to the New York
market arrived in such bad condition as
to put Maine potatoes under the ban. A
recent issue Of The Packer in reporting
the New York potato market said:
There is no demand here at all for
Maine potatoes and the cars that have
arrived hardly bring freight charges.
The Maine tuber is afflicted with sort
of watery brown rot. To start with,
when the potatoes are loaded at shipping
stations they show up in fine shape and
the shippers seem certain that they will
carry well and open up attractively at
destination. But all of the Maine spuds
that have come in here lately have con-
tanned about rs per cent. of this rot.
This naturally affected the Aroostook
market, and the latest issue received of
the Fort Fairfield Review says.
Very few potatoes are now being
bought in the Aroostook valley for the
city markets. Many of the buyers early
this fall bought quite heavily at good
prices. Many Of the potatoes they then
took in began to rot, the price dropped,
and the buyers were stuck. Now the
buyers do not wish to buy heavily again
till they see how we'll or ill the potatoes
now stored will keep. Quite a good
many lots that were thought at first to
be all right have since been taken out
and sorted over again or sent to the fac
tories. Some lots seem to be keeping
quite well. The Fort Fairfield dealers
now buying give 80 to 80 cents. Only
three buyers in Caribou are reported as
buying this Wednesday afternoon, rs
cents being their figures, though they
have been giving IS. The rot has struck
heavily around Houlton and below during
the past week or two, nearly as much rot
being found there now as in the Aroos-
took valley. The crop along the St.
John river is later than elsewhere, and
how it will finally come out is not yet
we'll known. In Fort Fairfield seven
sighths of the potatoes are now dug, and
The rest will be out if the weather is good
a few days longer.
1t is inevitable that there should be
BAD as well as good years in the potato
business. Aroostook has had its ups and
lowns-its years when low prices pre-
7ailed; years when most of the crop went
% the starch factories. Bat the good
7ears offset the bad years. The danger
S that good potato year may tempt a
srmer to put all his eggs in ore basket,
IS it were. Induced by the fine crop and
rood prices of last season some may
ave invested more than they should in
Of continuance Of such
avorable conditions, only to meet with
disappointment and financial loss.
