AR00STOOK HAS
BIG CROP GROWING
1918 HARVEST RICH

One of the biggest growers and
shippers in Fort Fairfield recently
gave it as his opinion that the acre
age of potatoes in Aroostook county
this year is about 80 per cent. of that
of last year. He says that a good
many of the small and medium sized
farmers have planted as many as usu-
al, but that many of the larger farm
ers have cut down their acreage con-
siderably partly because they thought
they were raising too many and partly
to get rid of planting any ground
given to scabbiness. Potatoes are
now looking we'll indeed although
rather small and late. They are
growing very fast the present hot
weather. The bugs are not nearly so
plentiful as during an average year,
but there are many more of them than
there were last year. This arises
from the fact that so many farmers
last year did not use Paris green, as
they should have done, on account of
the fact that the bugs were so few.
Had they used it, the bugs might have
been almost entirely annihilated. AL
together the potato prospect for
Aroostook county is exceedingly
bright. Even the ground in the south
ern part of Aroostook county, where
the soil is not so favorable for crops in
general as in the Aroostook valley, the
potato crop is nevertheless showing up
very we'll indeed.--Fort Fairfield Re-

According to General Agent Shows
figures. Aroostook shipped out in
June over the B. & A. 6S5,211 bushels
of potatoes. making the total for the
season which went out over that road
17,6S7,023 bushels. Probably 3,000,-
600 more went out over the C. P.
railroad, and the home seed and
table consumption would account for
1000, 900 bushels more.
The average price per barrel for
this large volume of potato shipments
we'll informed potato dealers say has
not been short of s1.35 per barrel.
If these figures are correct. at least
s10,000.000 has been realized by
Aroostook from it's last seasons crops.
Where has all this huge sum of cash
gone? Previous Indebtedness, of
course absorbed a good deal. Ferti-
lizer, draft horses and automobiles
have swallowed up a good deal, but
even so, with s10oe0.00o dumped into
its lap from one seasons crop there
ought not to be the money tightness
that either exists or is protested to
