POTATO Notes

Fort Fairfield Review: Potatoes are
nowadays at the rate of from 500 to
1000 barrels. which is as fast as the
buyers want them. The standard
price is so cents. OF course the pota
toes coming are nearly all Cobblers,
which appear to be of fine quality,
little or no rot being in evidence.
Digging has hardly yet begun in real
earnest, although good many have
begun. What is the yield of potatoes
in Aroostook? Some say that the
fields of the Aroostook valley will
average nearly so barrels to the acre.
Some say they will go between 40
and so barrels. There are very few
excellent yields. while many fields
are extremely poor, some Of them SO
poor as hardly to pay for digging.
One man in Pressure Isle plowed up
20 acres of potatoes a little while
ago, seeing they would not be worth
harvesting. One thing is certain
the drop in the yield of Aroostook
potatoes from last year will be simply
astonishing.
Review: What are wages to be for
potato digging? Many men are now
in town waiting for digging, but they
will all be quickly absorbed when the
harvest gets under way. AS nearly as
can be learned, $500 a day is a fairly
good price right now. although a little
later the standard pay may be from
$500 to $3.50 a day. The pay for
picking by the barrel is five cents.
Board is furnished free in all cases
unless otherwise specified.
West Rockport: We have been in
formed that Ernest Tolman planted
last spring As bushels Of potatoes
using some two hundred dollars worth
of fertilizer and that as a result Of the
late rains they are not worth digging.
For some years past Mr.. Tolman has
been one of our most successful
farmers in the line of potato raising.
We do not remember of but one in
stance of total failure in a potato
crop and that is some 20 years ago
when this pest first put in its appear
ance and we was a boy on the home
farm, when no potatoes were dug.
There will be but few potatoes housed
in this section during the present fall
and the same is true Of the bean crop,

Defense Opens


In opening the defense Attorney
Nelson stated that Starkey. the re-
spondent, lived in China. had been
stationed there for a number of years
and had no faults except that at
times he drank some hard cider. Frank
Morse was not a particular friend of
Starkey's and the respondent had
every reason to tell the truth before
the grand jury. According to Attorney
Nelson the respondent had said about
the cider that some fellows had treat
ed in Palermo and later had said that
his uncle gave it to him, that his un-
Gle took it along to Palermo in a
jug. And the defense claimed that
there was no statement there that
was wilfully false and that the re-
spondent was somewhat confused be-
fore the grand jury.

fed that he had held the position OF
station agent at China for 10 years

said that his uncle gave it to him
from China. Upon cross-examinatior
by County Attorney Fisher. Starkey

was asked before the Grand Jury
where he got the cider, that he was

PROSPERITY FOR FARMERS.

Jackson, Miss, July p. w. Willis,
United States farm demonstration
agent for North Mississippi, with
home and headquarters at Grenada,
was at central headquarters today and
gave a glowing account Of the crop
outlook through his territory. Mr..
Willis declares that the farmers have
never been better supplied with feed
crops, with the largest harvest of oats
yet made, and with an abundance OF
lespedeza, crimson clover and other
legumes in sight. The present status
of the growing corn is a source of
much qualification, with a promise OF
the largest yield in the history of the
state, and this is in line with the con-
ditions as reported from other sec
tions. There is every indication that
the farmers have not only been work
ing but, thinking and studying and
especially following the advice and in
struction of the trained and qualified
demonstrators who are with them.
Under the suggestive caption, "Rich
Land Means Rich Farms" S. M.
Yeates, farm demonstration agent for
Kinds county, has issued an open let
ter to the farmers of his territory,
urging more attention to this very i'm
portant detail. He advises them that
they can procure any quantity Of raw
phosphate rock direct from the Ten
nessee mines at about $3.50 per ton,
which is cheaper than acid phosphate,
which so many are getting or seeking
TO get, at cost Of $14 to SIS a ton.
This raw rock, when plowed under
with the legumes, will give more nj
trogen to the acre than the acid phos-
plate mixture, and Ia urges attention
to this detail, since the soil of Kinds
county is deficient in nitrogen and
phosphorus.

NEW SCHOOL FOR HICKORY.

Hickory, Miss, July 2. - Some
months ago bonds were issued for the
erection of a modern high school
building. A flaw was found which pre-
vented the bonds being sold. Later
different complications have arisen,
and it has looked for some time as if
the patrons would be disappointed in
getting their new school building.
However, yesterday word was re.
ceived that the bonds had been passed
on and sold to John D. Levine Co.,
Chicago.
Several months ago the contract for
the erection of the building was let to
the Standard Construction Co., Nerd
ian, Miss. In all probability the work
will be pushed forward as quickly as
possible so as to be ready for the
opening of school, September Is.

If you must have your meat every dav,

occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then YOU
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue Is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic t1inges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, tho
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging You to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
