Record of Presque Isle Farm
Shows Profits of Scientific
Agriculture in This State.

eight men as farm hands during seven
of five during the remainder of the
year. They have built houses for the
accommodation of six families, it hav-
ing been found that permanent. and
settled help is more satisfactory and
profitable than employees who come
and go. Six pairs of horses are kept
en- the farm and are worked constant
ly on the potatoes, during the growing
season, as long as they can be driven
through the tops.
In the harvesting season, about 16
extra men arc employed. chiefly as
piekers. This season the record for IL
men was 1474 barrels, and they har-
vested p GA barrels in days. This
Gf course is an exceptional record ana
is accounted for by the fact of the
great yield and the specially favora-
)le weather conditions.
The management of the farm is in
he immediate hands of F. wheeler,
who has had a long experience in po-
tato raising and is without doubt one
the best potato raisers in the State.
The selling end of the business is
managed by Mr. Wheeler's partner. t.
Merle Hoyt of the firm of Smith d
Hoyt, who understands thoroughly the
demands of the seed trade.
This farm was purchased by HoSt
e Wheeler about six years ago for
$50 600 the price at the time beinS
commented upon as excessively high
but it is probable that the returns
from this seasons crops will net
sufficient amount to represent at least
two-thirds of the price paid for the
whole farm.
