What is true of this town has since
come true to the towns in the central
Maine counties. This year, several
men in Somerset county have planted
80 acres of potatoes each; several men
are planning to plant, next year, $50
acres each.
The yield per acre is remarkably
good here, in some cases 500 bushels
having been harvested to the acre,
The average is about ESQ and many
farmers are realizing from $1,000 to
$4,000 from their potato crops, this
Year. 1t is estimated that Maine,s
potato crop, this year, is around 100
GOO acres and the yield will be about
80 100000 bushels, these selling on an
average of 80 cents a bushel, one can
realize what the potato crop means TO
the farmers of Maine sa
A well-known potato, grower and
lecturer in Maine, E. A. Rogers, stated
recently Maine within her 10000
acres planted, last year. harvested a
crop of 26,100,000 bushels, while Penn
sylvania. with an acreage planted of
$4,000 acres, only harvested 1894 600
bushels or with 161 900 more acres
planted, she did not harvest as many,
potatoes by over 6,000,006 bushels.
Michigan had over two and three
quarters times as many acres planted
as did Maine, and harvested less by
100000 bushels. That this is wholly
or largely the result of better climatic
and soil conditions in Maine. ! do nor
believe. The conditions in Maine. one
years with another, may be, and preb-
apiy are, more favorable than they
rule IN Pennsylvania or Michigan. II
Is my firm belief that the attention
gwen the culture. with protection
against insects and blight. aipngs With
a crop rotation suited to he potato
Itself, has more to GO with the great
difference in yield found between
Maine and those other states than
