BETHLEHEM.

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see the lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark street shineth
The Everlasting Light,
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the Angels Keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given.
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him
The dear Christ enters in.
O holy child of Bethlehem.
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter In,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our 7 ord ImmanueI,

POTATO NOTES

Houlton, Jan. S.-Potatoes were SELL
ing around SO Saturday. On account OF
the extreme cold weather very few
were hauled in. There is a steady de-
mand for both table and seed stock.
The Canadian potatoes are selling in
Canada for $3.50 so therefore there
are a great number being hauled over
here. Thursday there was big run
on Canadian potatoes. Farmers living
on the border claim it costs about 10
cents per barrel to haul them over,
with the SO market they are making
good profit.
Houlton, Jan. 10.-Owing to the ex-
IRENE cold weather farmers are not
hauling in very many potatoes. The
price has reached the 50 mark. and
there is a good outside demand for
table and seed stock. Many farmers
are not anxious to sell even at the SO
mark. However, few believe they are
making a good thing to Sell at this
price and rather than wait and take
chances are hauling potatoes and as
a result the crop is moving quite
freely from the county.
Fort Fairfield, Jan. 10.-Potatoes
were said to have reached the $500
per barrel mark here Saturday. which
is the highest they have yet been.
Quite q few have been coming into
the market the past few days.

Orono. Me-, Jan. u.-(SpeciaD.-The FOL
lowing was made public here today by
Hon. Charles d. Woods. director OF the
Maine Agricultural Experiment station:
1t has always been more or less GUS
tomary in growing potatoes in Maine to
apply the fertilizer in the drill or hill at
the time of planting. This was largely
the practice when farm manures were
used in connection with potato growing
and has been followed with commercial
fertilizers. There was little question in
the minds of practical growers that when
500 to 1000 lbs of fertilizer were applied
to an acre that it was to the best advan-
tage to apply it in the drill. With the
increase of 1900 up to 2o00 lbs. per acre
the question has arisen whether 1t may
not be advisable to apply the fertilizer
at different times. This leads the Sta
ton to undertake trials at Aroostook
Farm.
The first of these experiments was car
ried out in 1914. At that time three diff
ferent methods of application were used.
namely $50 lbs. per acre were applied at
the time Of planting; second. 1000 lbs. at
planting and 500 at the first cultivation;
third, 100 lbs. broadcast before planting,
and 500 lbs. at the first cultivation. The
results of this experiment have been pub
lished in Bulletin 236 The differences in
yield from the three methods was not
great although an increase of six bar
rels were obtained when all the fertilizer
was applied at the time of planting
In 1915 these methods were tested again
