were no society events at the ponds in those
early days. The camps were frequented only
by stag parties, who enjoyed roughing it. who
slept in hunks, smoked T. D's., and wore old
clothes. The pioneer camp at Pitchers Pond
is now part of the James II. and R. Howes
cottage. There were originally ten proprie-
tors. reduced for time to six and then raised
to the full number. Of this last ten A. A.
Howes is the only survivor. Riverside was
the pioneer cottage at Quantabacook, and of
those who frequented it in the early days all
have passed away. Among the number were
ex-Gov. Crosby, George B. Moore the editor
of The Journal, William H. Simpson, his sue
cessor in the editorial chair, Hiram Chase, and
many others.

The Sweet Corn Outlook.

Of interest to many Maine Farmers is the
statement of the Portland Packing Co. in which
they say that the outlook for large acreage
of sweet corn being planted in the State of
Maine next spring is very encouraging, owing
to the advance in price to the farmers of 12A
per cent over this seasons price, which
advance makes the price paid to the farmers
the highest price ever paid in Maine, and is
more than is paid in any other State Already
they have secured all the acreage they require
at Albion, Unity and Newport, and at several
of their other factories the subscription books
are nearly full. They are considering closing
one or two of their factories and increasing
their acreage at some of their other places in
the interest of economy.

The Apple Situation.

The apple outlook is not considered dis
couraging for patient holders of good stock.
Even if it be granted that the surplus unsold
is somewhat greater than it was last year at
this time, it is likely that the improvement in
general business conditions has increased the
demand about enough to offset any possibly
larger supply. Another item is the large pro-
portion of fall varieties in storage. These fall
varieties must be sold the first part of the sea-
son, and the same may be said of the seconds
and other low grades of winter fruits which
must, as usual. be worked off the first part of
the year. After the fall apples and the low
grade apples are mostly disposed of, the field
ought to remain clear for the very small pro-
portion of choice apples. While opinion is
somewhat divided among the traders, the ma
jority view both East and West seems to in
cline to the expectation of fair profit on
holdings kept over into next year-The Ameri-
