FOR FLETCHER'S
Q a 8 TO IA
THE POTATO CROP.

1t is reported from Washington that
while the total harvest Of potatoes will
be less than last year it will be sufficient
to supply the normal needs. The shrink
age in this years crop is ascrlbed to the
heavy hold over crop from las eason,
the low prices and the general demorali-
cation of the potato trade last autumn,
which caused a reduction IN acreage.
Indications are that Maine will produce
the largest crop ever recorded, while
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
North Dakota will harvest normal
crop The yields in Massachusetts, Con-
necticut. New York and Ohio promise to
be light. The average condition of the
crop is ten per cent below the ten year
average but about ten per cent. above
the condition for the same season IN 1911.

CLase, a local hote! proprietor, were

relatives are involved in the struggle.

equally with the other relatives IN his
estate, but with the stipulation that up
on her death that part of the estate
would revert to his heirs. She agreed
and sent the will to HIM. On June s,
1912, Florence died, jlst year after
Horace, but scarcely had her first will
been filed when another will was found
