Statement on Potato Situation

G. e. Embree of Bangor, chief of the
State Bureau of Markets and Supplies,
and manager of the Farmers Union of
Maine, Wednesday at the department
of agriculture gave out the following
statement:
For four months ending Dec. 1, A.
691, 1867 bushels of potatoes were moved
to the markets over the Bangor s.
Aroostook lines. For the same period
there were 1,915,100 bushels moved by
the Maine Central Railroad from
Maine Central points, making a total
of 5,84S,207 bushels. Last season the
total Maine Central crop amounted
to 5,541,200 bushels and if the 1914 crop
is as large as in 1913 there remains 81
col, 100 bushels in the hands of the
shippers and growers in Central
Maine.
Last season there were only 1885,
ZOO bushels transported to the mar
kets from Maine Central points up to
Dec. l. or 3S5, 400 less than this sea-
son. While it was supposed that the
shipments this season We're below those
of last, these are official figures of the
M. c. r. r. and are of course correct.
IlONCNCit libtit al Z NhoAC SNSeA~-A~
where very few potatoes have been
marketed On the line of the narrow
guage from Wiscasset to Albion very
few potatoes have been moved. The
South China and Bridge Mills Farm
ers' Unions both erected potato ware
houses, 60xS0 feet, and these houses are
full and the same is true of the Farm
ers' cellar, and these unions have not
shipped potato to the markets.
There is feeling that prices are
going to range higher later in the sea
son. A few dealers in New York, who
have houses in central Maine, have
notified their buyers to fill their
houses at 80 cents per bushel AS the
price is now less than 80 cents per
hushel it would appear that these
dealers are expecting a higher mar
ket before long. There is much fine
stock in storage in Maine. Up to the
present time prices have been very
low and the farmers have been carting
their poor stock to the stations.
This may turn out to be very poor
Judgment This method has kept the
price low and should there be more
stock than the market can consume 1t
would be the best stock that would
have to go to market"

benzoate Of soda, coal tar dyes
and other harmful chemicals Prof.
Allyn had discovered.
But the grocers indignation
should have been directed against
the manufacturers and jobbers
who sold them the foods instead
of against Prof. Allyn. who simply
made known the actual compost
ton of the products. They did not
see it that way at the time, how
ever, and they called Prof. Allyn a
meddler. When the girls of his
chemistry classes went out to buy
samples for analysis the grocers
refused to sell them. They sent
letters of protest to the Normal
School, and manufacturers, jobbers
and travelling statesmen joined with
them in a concerted war on Prof.
Allyn that proved one of the Bit
terest struggles in the history OF
the food trade. And that war is
still being waged with undated
intensity by certain interests whose
business is the debasing and dop-
ing OF foods and beverages.
Conditions reached a crisis when
baker in whose products wood
alcohol had been detected sued
Prof. Allyn and was awarded 81, 500
damages by a jury at Springfield,
the county seat. After the baker
had failed to heed fair warning.
Prof. Allyn in one of his newspaper
articles gave complete expose of
what he had found in the bakers
products, including his ice cream.
Then the baker brought suit. The
assessment of the fine was heralded
as a great victory by the trades
men, and other suits were threat
ened, but Prof. Allyn had only the
health and welfare of the comnlu-
nifty at heart and gladly would he

him full control of the towns food
supply. This increased authority
enabled Prof. Allyn to pursue the
work with greater vigor. He en-
listed the full cooperation of the
Westheld Board of Health, one of
the most efficient organizations OF
its kind in the country, and with
assistant chemists in the Board of
Health laboratories they began lis
earnest, to analyze the foods on sale
in the stores OF the town.
The enhanced power and assist
ance given him was great advan-
tage. Hitherto he could only
analyze the foods and proclaim the
results. Now as city officer he
had power to act. The Board of
Health backed by the citizens now
took charge of the food campaign
and the war waxed hotter than
ever.
The more foods analysed, the
more facts the people learned OF
dyed and drugged foods they had
been eating, and the more intense
their interest became. School
girls, men and women volunteered
their help, and for a time it seemed
as If nearly everybody in West
field was self appointed food in
spector. They went into the
stores, bought samples of foods
and sent them to the Board of
Health and Normal School 1abora-
tories to be analysed. All over the
town whenever suspicion pointed
to any food product they imme-
diately sent it to the laboratories
for analysis. Westheld soon be-
came the center of a wonderful
amount of food information, and
Westfeld citizens became experts
in the matter of determining the
purity and nuttitive values of foods.

When Prof. Lewis B. Allyn and

rising with indignation almost as
great as in that former somewhat
revolutionary food incident in
Massachusetts, familiary known as
the Boston Tea Party" But
Prof. Allyn had to bear the brunt
of the battle alone, and his task
was not an easy one. The n1er-
chants whose products were pub
licly exposed were very indignant
at first, and you can hardly blame
them, for in most instances the
foods were sold to them as pure,

Interesting Letter Received.

An ANONYMOUS letter addressed to
the Fish and Game Commissioners was
recently received at the State House
and is very interesting for it states
according to its own terms-"two
things that would make the game law
much better in this State as it would
stop the summer killing of deer and
also lessen the danger to our forest
fires" The letter is worthy of thought
and reads as follows:
Fish and Game Commissioners
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sirs:
l note by the papers that some
revision in the game laws are antici-
pated this year.
There are two things that would
make the game law much better in
this state as it would stop the summer
killing of deer and also lessen the dan
ger to our forest fires.
They are as follows:
First, Make the close time to Oct. 10
instead of Oct. /. This would lessen
our fire risks.
Second, Make it unlawful to carry a
gun during close time. This would
stop the summer and Sunday killing
of game and would give the wardens
some chance to enforce the law.
Both Of these amendments are simple
and nothing that any citizen, who in
tends to obey the law. would object to
and I hope you will use your influence
to see them both passed.
A friend to the better protection of
game and the enforcement Of laws and
the safe guarding Of our forests.
