Improved Potato Outlook.

Although the potato outlook In early
June was not encouraging, several weeks
of better weather brought the crop along
in good shape. Growers in the principal
potato producing states found conditions
much improved the first week in July,
plants generally healthy, stand about nor
NAL, not many missing hills and rapid
growth being made. In general the sea-
son was from 10 days to three weeks
late. In some sections the last week In
June saw potatoes still being planted.
Early July found many fields where the
plants were just beginning to make q
brave showing, but recent more season.

backwardness; outlook increasingly fav
In New York state preliminary re-
ports indicated decrease In acreage OF
from 10 to 25 percent, average about IL
percent. This decrease was duo to sol

Although high prices last fall nigh
have encouraged some to increase theil

the high price of seed was Q deterrent
factor. Early July found potatoes rea

R.Iro th. Vice PRECEDENT.

"Isn't It easy to be vice presidentT
remarked young woman who had
been sitting In one Of the galleries for
some time watching the senate work.
"Cinch," colloquially responded her es-
cort.. s
But senators know differently, for
they are fully aware Of what It means
to sit hour by hour and pilot their
august body through the parliamentary
jungles which frequently are confront
ed. The rules for legislative procedure
In the United States senate are prac-
tically no rules at all, paradoxical as
It may seem. The course Of the upper
house Is guided largely upon precedent
and past rulings Of vice presidents,
and a. q consequence the presiding Of
deer must be thoroughly conversant
With what his predecessors have done
from the time the nation was born.

Apple Crop Conditions Vary.

Later reports from apple growers In
the middle west states fully bore out the
indicat tions In June of much lower set
of apples than normal. Cold rain dur
ing the blossoming period caused heavy
drop; apples on trees ranging from 10 to
25 percent Of normal crop in more favor
ed sections, half crop in others and al
most total failure In one or two places.
Continued wet weather in June and
early July interfered with best spraying
operations. Not only did the rains cause
poor pollinstion, but destroyed the ef-
fscts of spray, resulting in bad out
breaks of apple scab In some localities.
Despite these adverse conditions, farm
ers generally went at their spraying
whole heartedly, whenever the weather
man would give them few days' sun
shine, in their efforts to get good, sound
fruit for this years markets, although
total production may be reduced. Con.
ditions as regards spraying, however, In
most farm orchards are the same as In
previous years. The farmer VINO 10
really In earnest In his orcharding gave
his trees full attention; the average
farmer whose interests were In other
crops, neglected his trees.
From Arkansas comes word OF o light
crop with much complaint OF scab. In
dications are that first quality apples will
be less than last year. June drop is un-
usually heavy in Missouri, estimates OF
act on trees about 40 to 80 percent OF
fruit. Here, too, apple scab is preva-
lent. Iowa reports about similar condi-
tiops. Reports from Michigan vary
from half crop to normal expectancy.
Most apple growers sprayed fairly we'll.
Latterly apples left on trees were look
ing we'll and wanted only good condi.
tions from now on, crop outlook not un-
favorable. Less indication of poor set
comes from Indiana, although crop ID
below normal. Some parts Of Ohio ap'
parently hard hit, one grower reporting
not more than 25 percent Of normal crop
with considerable trouble from fungus.
Another grower who had 45004 bushels
last wear expects not more than 400 this.
Apple crop conditions In New England
were much more favorable. Some parts
of Vermont and New Hampshire expect
largest crop In years. Outlook IN
Maine was for better than normal CROP

Pioneers of
The Magalloway
FROM. 1920 TO 1904
By Granville P. Wilson
(TH1Rp PApER.)

Joseph Sturtevant of Oxford, Me-, set
tied in 1881 on the summit of the hill
occupied in part by Messrs. Linnell and
Lombard, and cleared up with much
labor large and very productive farm,
which has ever remained entirely sur.
rounded by forest. he was man Of
cheerful and convivial temperament, and
with large family of sons and daugh-
ters, all more or less inclined to look on
the bright side of life, his home was long
the center of rural gayety for many
miles around. Two gifted violinists in
the family furnished not only their home,
but the whole surrounding region, With
the required melody for any festive oc-
casion, and as the sons were leaders 10
music, 90 were the daughters In the
graceful art of keeping time thereto, with
their nimble feet, on the dancing floor.
Mr.. Sturtevant, and all but one OF his
five SONS (the eldest never having resided
at their mountain home), confined their
lives quite exclusively to the severe labor
of their rugged farm, and prospered
thereon for many years. All were Of
sound constitution, vigorous and ener-
getic, but George, the fourth son, was a
prodigy of vivacity and sprightliness,
and his equal for frolic mirthfulness has
never been known to the writer Of this
memorial. But grief came at length to
that joyous household, when the third
son Zone of the violinists), and afterwards
the almost idolized mother, were con-
signed to the grave. The halcyon dsyt
of mirth and song in that happy home
were DER. The family scattered to wide
ly separate localities, until hardly one,
save the father, of all that loving circle
remained. The lonely parent eventually
married q second time, but survived the
dear companion of his better days but
eleven years. He died in 1850, at the age
or seventy-two, and was buried near his
own sumptuous "house in the wilder
ness.''
