POTATO NOTES

Pressure Isle-It is generally thought
among potato men that there are at
least a million and a half bushels OF
potatoes left in the county for ship
ment This basis Is determined on the
statistics in other years when the crop
was about the same as the 1915 crop.
Fertilizer in large quantities is now be-
ing brought into the county and al
though the acreage will not be as large
as last year, Aroostook will produce
her usual big crop. The price is still
around $3.50 per barrel.
