1915 WAS A FIAT"
YEAR FOR AROOS-
TOOK POTATOES
Bangor News, July -

Bangor News, July -
Preliminary estimates prepared hy
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Com
pany show that Of the Aroostook coun-
ty potato crop of 1915 the B. & A. has
delivered to the Maine Central for
shipment west, to date total Of 49,
459 carloads, as compared with % 235
carloads of the crop Of 1914 at the cor
responding date last year At the rate
of $50 bushels to the carload, these
shipments amount to 17,447 $50 bushels
of the crop Of 1914, and 14,594,25O bush
els of the crop Of 1915. The crop of 1915
has been entirely cleaned up, not a
bushel for shipment remaining in the
county.
While the shipments of the 1915 po-
tatoes were 16 per cent. less in guam
tity than those Of the 1914 crop, returns
We're 255 per cent. greater, prices hav-
ing ruled very low for 1914 potatoes and
very high for last years crop. From
beginning to end of the shipping season
of 1914-15 the price averaged rs cents a
barrel III pecks), or q cents a bushel,
whereas from Aug. /, 1915, to April 5,
1915, the average was s2.65 a barrel, or
So cents bushel. AS the price ranged
still higher during the last two months
Of the season just closed. the average
for the entire shipping year would be
even higher than given. On the basis
of the figures quoted, returns for the
crop shipments Of 1914 would be s4,71o,-
757. and for the shipments Of the 1915
crop s14,0104SO.
The exact proportions in which pro-
ducers and middlemen-the buyers at
railroad points. shared the benefits Of
the high market for the 1915 crop
would be difficult if not impossible to
ascertain. owing to the uncertain state
Of the market early in the season, when
large quantities Of potatoes were
bought at low prices and held by the
buyers in storage for a rise, but the
farmers, Notwithstanding the high cost
Of fertilizer and also of labor, reaped
q golden harvest and 1915 will 60 on

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 20.-The
Baptists of Texas will appeal to adj
ministration officials at Washington,
to set aside an alleged order of Gen.
eral Funston against conducting re-
1igious revivals among the troops on
the border. This announcement was
made today by DR.. J. By Gambrell,
corresponding secretary of the Gen.
eral Baptist convention of Texas who
had just returned from San Antonio.
81 talked with Colonel Barnum, the
chief of staff" said DIR. Gambrell, "he
went in to see General Funston and
talked to him about two minutes,
then he came out with the announce
ment that we could preach among
the soldiers il we did not hold re-
vivals or tell the men they were lost
without processing Christ. 1 asked
him why the general was opposed to
REVEALS. He said it would work the
men up and that many of them were
emotional.
81 do not believe the American
people will stand for military dfcta-
ton as to what we aSS to preach" :
