IN KENNEBEC DRIVE

Probably the largest acreage of pota-
been planted by George Hebert this
spring, there being rs acres. This is the

took man and came here in 1901. He
bought a $500 farm in Skowhegan that
had run out in fertility. The first year
he planted 25 acres of potatoes, using 1900
pounds of fertilizer to the acre. The first
fall he harvested 300 bushels of potatoes
! to the acre. The next year he was offer
ed 5000 for his farm but the price had no
attraction for him. When Mr.. Hebert
came here he had $1,000 to pay in toward
his farm He now has the farm paid for
and has it equipped with probably the
largest amount of modern farm imple-
ments of any farm In this county. Last
fall he purchased the largest farm in the
county, situated in Embden, for about
$4,000. This spring he purchased an au-
tomobie, and If there is any farmer in
Maine that is getting more out of life in
a money sense or in pleasure he has not
yet shown 1t around here. NH. Hebert
by his methods has influenced many
Aroostook county farmers to buy farms
here.
