Commissioner Of Agriculture Will
liam T. Guptill who has just returned
from trip to Aroostook county, was
asked Monday regarding the 1916 crop
of potatoes and the prospects. Said
he:
The United States government re-
port gives Maine 2S,0O0,000 bushels for
the year 1916, against %, 100000 bushels
in 1915, an increase of 100000 bushels.
1 am firmly convinced that the gov
ernment's estimate is wrong. While
the fields all of them look well, the
drought has seriously interfered with
the growth of the early maturing Va
rieties like the Cobbler. and in order
to have big yields, it is necessary for
the individual potatoes to be large in
size.
Regarding the yield Of the late po-
tatoes, it is an impossibility to accu-
rately estimate the yield, because the
conditions may and do change so rap
idly. A soaking rain would help con-
ditions tremendously But under the
most favorable conditions it Is not pos
sible for the yield to exceed that Of
last year, because the acreage is short
10 per cent.
All indications point to an extremely
short crop throughout the United
States, which must necessarily mean
that those people who have potatoes
will get high price for them. This
is a dangerous thing for the depart
ment to say. but indications certainly
point to a short CROP
E. A. Russ, deputy State sealer OF
weights and measures, has returned
from trip Of inspection with the To-
cal sealers in Waldo county. They
found three sets Of scales in such bad
condition that they were condemned.
Several cases where parties were US
ing the wine measure for the measure
ment of beans, etc, were found and
these were condemned This practise,
which has been found to be common
in other sections, shows the need OF
a thorough system of inspection in
every town and hamlet in the State.
Mr. Russ says that many letters OF
inquiry are being received from vari-
Gus sources regarding weights and
mea sures, and also many concerning
the legal capacity of the new barrel.
