POTATO Market
IS ANALYzED
C. E. Embree of the Farmers
Union of Maine Reviews the
Year and Explains
Some Things

From the opening Of the potato mar
ket In the fall Of 1915 up to the present
time growers, shippers, wholesalers
and retailers have always been looking
forward to higher prices. Many have
believed that the price Of potatoes
would keep increasing and would go as
high as IS per barrel. In August
cobblers were selling at soc per bushel
F. o. B. Boston, and this price con-
tinued with slight variations up to the
last Of September. Prices then ad-
vanced to soc and gradually kept ris-
ing until they reached 95c October II,
at which figure the market broke and
remained around 7Sc-S2c, to December
4, on which date sales were made at
96c. From December 4 up to the pres
ent time high level has been main
tanned, the highest point being reached
in January when they sold for $3.50
Boston rate Of freight with occa sional
sales at 2c-5c above this figure. A
depression was felt in the market the
last Of April, receipts increasing and
falling off in the demand, until prices
went down around 81 the lowest point
reached since the 1st of December.
Thus it will be noted that SO far there
has been no extraordinary prices in
evidence.
Certain influences in Maine have
notified the public that an investiga-
ton into the situation would be made
to determine why it was that potatoes
did not sell for more money. Those
who have only given the situation
passing notice have Lad no 0ifacultX in

S. D. WARREN CO.
EMPLOYEES ARE TO
PRESENT DEMAND
International President J. T. Ca
rey of Paper Makers Address
es Big Meeting of Employees
Sunday-Demand to Be Made
within a Few Days

Portland, Me, May 13.-Despite the fact
that an announcement was made at yes
terday's meeting of the employees Of S. D.
Warren & Co. that committee repre-
senting the Cumberland Mills local Of
the Papermakers' Union would call upon
the mill management today for the pur-
pose Of agreeing upon a date when the
Warren officials would meet the union
committee and receive an agreement reia-
tive to the working conditions in the
mills. no such committee appeared at the
general offices of the mill today.
An official of the union today said that
the union representatives would doubt
less confer with the Warren officials
sometime during the week for the pur-
pose of presenting an agreement, but no
specific date was made nor has the pro-
posed agreement been made public. 1t is
understood that the working conditions
and salary scale existing in the mills at
the present time meet with the general
approval of the employees and it is be-
lieved that the basis of any agreement
presented by the union representatives
to the company will be merely to continue
the conditions as they are at the present
time.
1t is apparently true that there are
isolated cases of dissatisfaction in the
mill. but according to an officer prom
inently connected with the local paper
union today the satisfaction felt by the
Warren employees is general and tie
members OF the union are free to state
that any agreement submitted by them
TO the Warren Company will contain no
radical demands, either as to salary
scale or working conditions
The meeting of yesterday, which was
held in the Scenic Theater. was attend
ed by more than 800 Warren employees.
and the speeches made by President J.
i. cary, of the international Paner Ma
kers Union and Vice President J. p
Burke. of the same organization. were
received with enthusiasm. Both speak
ers' and especially President Cary. de-
voted their attentions to the paper sit
uation in general way and referred
only briefly TO local conditions. n IS
generally conceded that the presenting
to the Warren Company Of an agreement
ny the union officials will force the is
sue as to the recognition Of the nnion
ov the Warren Company. and as this is
expected to occur within few DAYS
the outcome is awaited with intense
interest In the Paper City

determining why potatoes did not
reach exorbitant prices. AS stated IN
the foregoing, every one felt positive
that prices would advance to high
level and every time there was
furry in the market the dealer looked
through magnifying glasses and conse-
quently he bought beyond his needs,
having in view the taking of profits.
AS a result the market was kept fully
supplied and of course instead Of adj
vancing the market fell off This pol
icy has been pursued all through the
season and as it is now getting late
for old stock the more quickly the 1915
crop is marketed the better for the
grower. Another factor that had much
to do with keeping down prices was the
high price maintained during the sea-
son. This caused careful handling and
reduction of consumption.
The new crop is now receiving the
attention of the buyers and they are
still looking forward to high prices. In
1915 the total acreage as reported by
the Government was 1862 while the
total acreage reported in 1916 is ILL.,
1888 acres, a decrease Of 1873 per cent.
This report covers only the IL South
ern states. 1t is too early to determine
the size Of the crop in these states, but
SO far the yield and quality is very
good. The Boston market is not eff
fected to any great extent by the stock
that comes from the far South early in
the season and until the stock from
Virginia and Jersey reaches he mar
ket. All reports from Cape Charles
and throughout that section are opti-
mistic. but it is really too early to ar
rive at any decision. In New Jersey.
while the season is about two weeks
behind, all crops above the ground are
looking fine. The potatoes are just
showing above the ground with the
exception Of a very few fields that are
up about three inches and showing
good come-up. The farmers in Bur-
lington county are looking forward to
a prosperous season and hope to make
up the losses they suffered last season.
While the Eastern grower is not in
terested in potatoes grown in Cali
fornia, it is interesting to note that in
this state potatoes are planted and
harvested every month in the year with
the exception Of October. The total
acreage for 1915 in California was 49,
600 with total production Of 1O,140.-
600 bushels, the equivalent Of 3,6S7,273
barrels Of eleven pecks.

small, about one-fftieth of an inch long, of glossy reddish color. In about three to five days these eggs hatch into small reddish larvae scarce ly larger than the egg from which they matched, and these larvae migrate down the blade between the leaf sheath and the stem until they reach point near the root. Here they stop, begin to absorb the plant juices, and cause a gall-like enlargement or swell ing at the point of attack. They grow
 rapidly, and three weeks later are thick, whitish maggots about one eighth of an inch long.
 Become Lively in April.
 Once fully grown the larvae con- tract, leaving their outer skins to form hard, dark brown shells, commonly known as flaxseeds or puparia, and re- main in this condition and situation through the winter. Inside these flax seeds the white larvae may be found until toward spring when they change to the pupa stage. Early in April the pupae push off the end of the flaxseeds and then force their way out from un- der the enveloping leaf-sheath. Hav- ing found a way out of the plant the thin pupal skin splits and the adult fly escapes. Eggs are laid back on the wheat during April and early May and the same development is gone through as in the fall, except that the migrat- ing larvae locate in the first or second joints above the roots. They become full grown and enter the fiaxseed stage before harvest, remaining in the stub- ble through the summer if it Is or mally dry, to give forth the adult flies of the fall brood in September; but if the summer is rainy many will come forth soon after harvest and go through an additional summer brood on the vol unteer wheat.
 The injury by the Hessian fly is done during the fall and spring by the growing larvae of the two broods. In the fall the first effect of attack is to cause the wheat to become abnormally dark green and to tiller freely, later turning yellowish and brownish and finally killing the affected blades. The field then appears dead in spots, or over the whole field. Badly attacked plants may later recover if there is plenty of moisture. In the spring the presence of the larvae in the lower joints interferes with the sap flow and weakens the straw, so that the heads fail to fill and toward har- vest the straw is apt to crinkle or break at the point of attack so that the grain becomes badly lodged and often not worth harvesting. Only wheat, rye and barley among our cul- tivated grains are attacked by the Hessian fly.
 Rotation of crops is practicable Hessian fly control measure, for not only does the bringing in of corn, oats, alfalfa, or clover tend to starve out the pest, but if the wheat field is changed the fall brood of flies must 1 migrate to more or less distant fields ! to find wheat and this results in a . arge mortality among them.
