as Castle Hail. Close by is Dole hall,

burned had the wind been in a con

The alarm was turned in by John
f. Silva from Box LAP, Wilder avenue
and Alexander street.
The fire department., under Chief
Thurston, were speedily on the spot
and did excellent work. The building
burned like finder, however, and it
was impossible to save any portion of
it. Six streams were turned on the
building, and the firemen were kept
busy seeing that a teachers cottage
in process of erection nearby, as well
as the other adjoining buildings did
not catch fire from the sparks which
were carried thickly over them.
The building which was burned last
night was built by Lucas Bros. in 1907.
Only two stories were completed at
that time, however, and during the
present vacation work has been going
on whereby the third story might be
furnished with rooms in readiness for
the college reopening next month.

E. w. SUTTON-The work of the

seems to me to be next to useless.
The street is worn full of holes, and
every little while the road force fills
these holes with crushed stone and
lamps it down, but in a day or two
it is all chewed out again by the
heavy traffic and is ground into dust
to form an added nuisance. Better let
the street alone and save the money
towards making a permanent job
later on.

SOME POTATOES.

I'VE have been taught to believe,
says William +. Curtis, that the
largest crops of the finest quality Of
virgin soil of the irrigated valleys of
the west. and Greeley, Colorado, calls
itself THE Potato City" Very little
else is grown in that vicinity and the
finest potatoes in the world are ad-
vertised to come from there. Every
summer Greeley celebrates her
greatness and the quantity and quail
ity of the fruits of her soil by "po-
tato day" when everybody within a
radius of many miles comes to town
to eat potatoes that are contributed
by the farmers and are cooked and
served with various relishes in the
public square. But, Notwithstanding
the glory of Greeley the Official sta
tistics of tie Agricultural Depart
ment show that AroOstoOk county
Maine, produces more than twice as
many bushels to the acre and sells
them at a higher price than the farm
ers of Greeley. And they are raised
in the old-fashioned way by ordinary
farming, without irrigation and with
out any scientific frills, and are ship
ped to all parts of the world.
The official statistics show that in
1910 the average crop per acre of pO-
tatoes in Maine, and that means Ar
oostOok county was 22O bushels,
while the average per acre in Colo
RADIO, and that means Greeley, was
only 100 bushels to the acre. That
is no discredit to Colorado. but it
proves that farming is still profitable
in certain parts OF New England if
people will plant the right things.
The Officia. statistics are surpris-
ing. Aroostook county alone pro
duces more potatoes every year than
any state of the union except New
York and Michigan. Sometimes
Pennsylvania must be excepted, but
not always. The crop of Aroostook
county has been as high as 2J,OOO,-
900 bushels and has sold for as much
as $15.OO0,0 900. The average for five
y
els and has sold for an average of
S12,000,000 on the ground.
The biggest crop of potatoes ever
reported was produced upon the cX-
perimental farm of the Earl of Rose
berry, called Dalmeny, near Edin-
burgh, Scotland. 1t is a model farm
and produces nothing but seed stock
If grains and vegetables. Earl Rose
berry breeds fancy cattle, sheep and
hogs, which always take the prizes
at the Scottish fairs. His fields are
cultivated on the most advanced
scientific methods; they are smother
ed in fertilizers, and nowhere else in
all the United Kingdom, or in Europe
for that matter, is intensified farming
so thoroughly exemplified. Two years
ago he produced 1000 bushels of po-
tatoes TO the acre, which were sold
entirely for seed. The highest re.
cord for AroOstook county is 735
bushels TO the acra
