ARE WANTED
FOR PROHIBITION
Party Attack on Drink Evil Favored
by =. F. Emerson.

The annual report Of the commits
sioner of internal eYenue shows that
in the year ending June 80, 1911, the
production of distilled alcoholic
liquors in this country amounted to -
600, coo gallons more than in any pre-
yious year, and the output of fer
mented liquors 100000 more. How
ever starting it may appear TO Us, We
are compelled to accept the situation
as il is, and prepare TO meet it. The
drink evil is beating US
All these past years the temperance
people have been firing blank car
tridges, for which the owners OF
breweries, distileries, wholesale
houses and saloons care but little.
They 90 right along increasing their
business and getting a firmer hold
every year Meanwhile there are many
Intelligent men anxious for legislation
to control trusts, monopolies, rail
roads and other great evils, who when
we come 10 the most gigantic of all
cry No, No This liquor question is
not a national affair It is for the
states and municipalities to handle it. -
1t seems to me that We need TO
change front and form our battle
lines at once This country must
either crush the liquor traffic or make
complete surrender 10 it. President
Taft has been sending messages to
Congress on numerous public ques-
tons, but | fail to find even single
phrase touching upon this great ma
tional evil Brethren this ought not to
be. If We ever intend 10 strike against
the liquor curse in a way that means
something. the opportunity is right be-
fore us. The only organization in this
country that will ever crush the liquor
traffic is in line and calling loudly for
recruits Nothing but a political party
pledged TO its destruction will ever
overthrow it. VIII You heed the bugle
call and get on the firing line?'

As REGARDS POTATO
MARKETING
What c. Z. Embree Has to Say About
the Situation in ArOOstOOk County

Under the direction of Commission
er of Agriculture John y. Buckley
the sales manager, C.. E. Embree, OF
the Long Island Potato House at
Riverhead, N. Y, is doing work in
arousing the Maine farmers to the
need of organizing cooperative asso-
Citations of potatoe growers, which
has attracted the attention of the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and L. c. Corbett, the horticul-
turist in charge of this bureau, has
written Mr. Embree upon the subject
of farmers marketing associations
asking him for any information that
may be of value to the department
Mr.. Embree has been addressing
Farmers Institutes in Maine upon the
subject of cooperative marketing for
several weeks past and will probably
remain in this state until about the
middle of February. He was in Au-
gusta Friday at the State House and
discussed the situation in Aroostook
county from which he has recently
returned in an interesting manner.
In 1894, 1862 bushels of pota-
toes were shipped from Aroostook
county while in 1911 the total ship
ments amounted to II, 1915 bushels"
said Mr.. Embree. The shipments of
1910, however, were very considerably
in excess of those of 1911. In that year
there was shipped over the Bangor
& Aroostook 11,5S7682 bushels of
potatoes, over the Canadian Pacific q,
10000, and over other railroads 1885,
583 bushels. For starch 100000
bushels were used while for local con-
sumption 100000 bushels were taken
and the Aroostook farmers used for
seed 1,238000 bushels. In addition -
in potatoe houses, making the total
product 17,349 ,265 bushels. The total
amount of the 1911 crop shipped up
to Jan /, 1912, upon the Bangor &
Aroostook and Canadian Pacific rail
roads was $4,000, while in the eight
following days, that is, up to Jan 8,
$4,000 more bushels were shipped.
The average price paid per bushel up
to Jan /, was only about &c cents,
which seems to be remarkably low.
With the wonderfully productive
soil of Aroostook county, believe
that the production of potatoes will
be increased there SO that the output
will possibly reach 100000 bushels.
While this prediction might appear
extravagant it is in line with the pre-
dictions made by leading men of af
fairs who are familiar with the coun-
try and its soil. | believe also that
the population will increase sufficient
ly fast SO there will be market for
all the increase in production.
The present method of marketing
the potato is crude and very waste
full. The Maine potato is shipped into
the markets of New York without any
system; so or rs cars are just as liza
bic to arrive at time when the rail-
roads have placed an embargo on fur
Their arrivals In the yards as they are
to come in when the market Is strong.
In this way thousands of dollars have
been lost to the shippers and growers.
