THE STATE MAY
DREDGE OYSTERS
II Owns All the Bottoms Of
Purchased Lots.
PART PAYMENT IN SIGHT
Right OF the State To Take over All
Products Of Lots Whose Leases
Have Been Declared Vacated
BY a ResurVey.

Maryland may engage in oyster
dredging on a profitable scale when it
takes over the bottoms, leased under
the Campbell amendment of 1912
to the oyster culture law and later
vacated under resurvey by the act of
1914. The private lessees Of these lots
have claimed that they have spent
large sums of money in planting oys-
ters. There is doubt whether there
are marketable oysters on these beds.
In the opinion of oystermen, however,
there are accumulations of over two
years. Some of them have expressed
the opinion that the State can partially
reimburse itself by taking up these
oysters for the payments which it
must make to the lessees, whose beds,
as stated, have reverted to the State
under resurveys which established the
contentious of oystermen that the
leased beds were natural rocks and
should, therefore, have never been
leased. But they were leased and
small oysters were planted on them.
The Board of Public Works has re-
ceived a partial acceptance Of its offer
of 5000; the sum appropriated by the
last legislature, from representatives
Of Iessees of the beds which have been
declared to be natural rocks. With
full acceptance of the States offer the
latter will then be in position to decide
whether it will engage in oyster dredg
ing, the beds to revert to the oyster
men after the dredging shall have been
completed.
Governor Harrington anticipates a
favorable termination of negotiations
with the lessees. The sum of $4,000
is offered in payment of judgments
amounting to $255,000.

POTATO NOTES

There was . slight drop in the potato
as $685. and $3.50 per barrel, the 81 price
mand is normal.
Potatoes in the Fort Fairfield markets
Saturday were selling at slightly lower
prices than on Friday. Very few were
being brought in by the farmers. Buyers
were quoting prices ranging from 800 to
$40 per barrel. The slight drop in prices
caused many farmers to stop hauling to
market. The high prices in potatoes have
caused many Of the starch factories In
and around Fort Fairfield to suspend
operations. Practically the only factory
In Fort Fairfield now in actual operation
is the factory of Haines G. Osborne, Low
er Village. The prices paid by the manu-
facturers of starch are far is advance Of
any prices paid by factories in Aroostook
county for years. With the prices Of po-
tatoes for starch around s1.75 and ;1.s5,
the starch factories. to get any profit
must charge at least II cents per pound
for good potato starch. The high prices
Of potatoes have served to make brisk
other activities Of the town.
There was a drop in price Thursday in
the potato market, the price being $40
per Dbl, and not many coming in the first
of the week. the price went to A75. 1t
was reported that one man received $lS4.2l
for a single load.-Kingnan letter, Lincoln
Chronicle.
Potatoes at IS per barrel in Corinna by
the first Of January, is the prediction now
being made by a few men Of the town
who are close students Of the potato sit
uation and 1t is interesting to learn that
at the present time tubers are selling at
A.9 per barrel. and it is expected within
the coming few days the price will ad-
vance to the sum Of $50.
