etc. A spur track is to be built from
the Somerset on the upper part of the
property and the factory will be locat

farm. A dam is to be built on the
brock flowing through that part of the
land to put the logs in before they are
used in the factory. Already stakes

The potato crop in Dexter and vi
cinity, this fall, is reported toHbe large,
and the average farmer in that section
is hustling, these days, to get his po-
tatoes dug before the ground freezes.
The work on many of the farms has
been going on for the past two weeks,
and with good weather for the rest Of
the current week it viii, in the major
ity of cases, be completed. Regarding
the yield, it is no uncommon thing to
hear of pieces running 400 bushels IN
the acre. and even better, and in many
cases potatoes run even in size and
about the right size to meet with ia
vor in city markets. Some growers
have sold their potatoes direct from
the field at from VA to AZ cents per
bushel, While others, less fortunate,
are selling at the prevailing low pric-
es Still others are storing potatoes
in hopes of a change for better In
the market, although the buyers dc
not hold forth much hope. few
| Dexter growers have sold some OF
| their potatoes to New Jersey for seed
and at good prices, and others will
| ship seed potatoes later in the season
On the whole the western Penohscoi
potato crop is larger than last season,
and the prevailing prices much lower
