seed potato inspection, recently wrote
to New Jersey to ascertain how our
Maine seed potatoes stood in the esti-
nation Of the users in that state. He
has just received an answer from
Frank c. Danser, manager and secre-
tary of the Farmers Cooperative AS
sociation Of Mercer county, dated Tren-
ton. y. j., June II, which speaks so
we'll of our potatoes and our Maine po-
tato expert that it is worth passing
along to the public. All the seed pota-
to raisers in Maine are having copies
mailed to them and here is one for the
public:
Il note from your valued favor of the
18th, just received. that you are desir-
Gus to learn whether the seed pota-
toes purchased by us last spring from
parties in Maine, and the same bear
ing the certificate Of the Maine Seed
Improvement Association and depart
ment of agriculture. were. as whole,
your State by this (our) association
or the so-called selected" seed.
In reply to this question we can an
swer it in word, YES, emphatically
YES
I'VE might add that to date we have
received f1attering reports only from
those customers to whom we sold GER
titled seed from the several cars pur-
chased by us through our mutual
friend, Mr.. Guy c. Porter. Our only
regret is, that all of our seed (of which
we had a vast quantity in the aggre-
gate) should not have measured up to
the same standard Of excellence.
I'VE have completed arrangements to
hold on the 2lst inst, public tour
Of inspection under the auspices of the
Mercer County Farm Bureau, which
will include several potato field demon
strations. These auto tours were in
augurated by the bureau several years
ago and are appealing to the more ad-
vanced asriculturalists in greater
measure on each successive occasion.
we hope to have about 500 people out
on this occa sion, and wish we might
number you and Mr.. Porter as amongst
our midst on this one. If at all possi-
BILE please try and arrange to come
down later in the season before the
vines break.
1T is with regret that we note your
remarks concerning the adverse
weather conditions with which your
farmers have been obliged to contend.
We have had a very backward season
also, but stuff is beginning to grow
now. even though we were much later
than usual in getting 1t planted.
wish you would try and come down
little later in the season. If you can
arrange to leave even for brief So
iourn with us I should be delighted to
take you over the potato belt within
our territorial jurisdiction for the pur-
pose of acQuainting you with the ac-
tual conditions here as they may ex-
Isl at any given time. l should want
you to make my home your headquar-

Charities and Corrections

Secretary James r. Bagley of the
Maine Charities and Corrections Com
mission has returned to headquarters
at the State House after passing the
most Of the week in Sagadahoc and
Knox counties on inspection work. Men
tion was made while speaking with a
journal reporter about the Maine State
prison at Thomsston of an unusual con-
dtion, which would seem to need the at
tention of the proper authority in the
matter, the Legislature. Said Mr. Bag
ley:

his charge at the prison who are caus-
ing him considerable anxiety as to the
very best thing to be done with them
One is a middle-aged man. suffering
with tuberculosis. the case being a Sc

July. His presence in the institution
is a menace to the health Of the other
inmates. The warden will persuade
him, il he can to go to one Of the State
sanitariums when he is released. If
he goes and stays he may be benefited
by the rest and treatment.
THE other case is young man. suf-
fertng with the same disease, DuC IN an
incipient stage. He will not be releas-
