Agricultural Department

Commissioner of Agriculture VIM. 1.
Guptill was asked Saturday by the
Journal man as to the potato SITUATION
in Maine and replied:
THAT is a difficult question to an
swer. We of the Maine party VINO
made the recent trip to washington
for the conference of dairy interests
took particular pains to look into the
situation in the Boston and New YORK
markets Potatoes have not been COM
ing to these markets from New York,
PENNSYLVANIA and Michigan as has been
the custom and the supplies in the first
two states mentioned are said to be
short The New York dealers said con-
ditions looked to them as favoring an
Improvement in the prices. although
there was then little or no movement
The Boston dealers were looking for
good sized quantity from the sections
from Fort Kent to Van Buren,, where
the planters had been holding back
their supply. We are unable to con-
firm this The Florida and Texas po-
tato crops do not affect our Maine mar
ket in the least, they are sobbled up
by the big city markets before they
ever come East.
II realize right we'll how sure any
one should be of their position before
making a public statement on such a
question. but there is the situation as
found if in the big markets for Maine
potatoes and cannot see why our po-
tatoes should not go out high. We
have not a great lot left in the State
and the people certainly do like our
Maine potatoes
II do not have any idea Of the acre
age going into potatoes this season
Our figures gathered by the card cam
vaSs proved SO accurate that | am in
clned to think the department will use

rate and reliable figures from the rails

Inmates made by anyone.
las to the fertilizers, ] think A great
mistake was made last fall in not or
dering the supplies. The people did
not seem to realize the situation re-
sarding the potash fertilizer and now
they are obliged to give rush orders,
even having il shipped into ArooStook
by express. Plenty of fertilizer may
| be obtained in the market and | do
not think the much talked-of car short
age has anything to do with Aroos-

Inspector Thomas Murphy Of the
pure food department Will leave this
morning for an extended trip through

7 poets to be out about II weeks and has
returned from a 12-weeks similar jour-

BIG DEMAND FOR GASOLINE
Present Output, Enormous Though u
Is, Not Sufficient to Supply the
Country's Needs.

We will consume In this country this
year almost 2,O00.00O,OOO gallons OF
gasoline, which Is the equivalent Of o
stream six feet wide and one foot deep
flowing ut the rate of one mile an hour,
H. II. Windsor writes In Popular Me
chnncs. Five years ago gasoline re-
tailed at - cents In England and from
40 To 10 cents on the continent, and
there are those who even predict 40
cent gasoline here some day. Recent
improvements In refining have consid-
crubly increased the percentage OF
gasoline extracted, and inventors are
confident of perfecting carburetors
which will use kerosene; but for the
present we are confronted with u de-
crease In the gasoline content of the
older oil wells and an insufficient ca
paclty in the refining plants. Our ex-
ports, however, of gasoline In 1915
were considerably less than In 1914. al
! though more crude oil was sent abroad.
There Is also u strong probability that,
with the reconstruction and rcsump-
| ton of business abroad AT the close of
| the war, consumption there will be
much greater than now. Horses will
be scarce and time will be everything.
ana the motOrcar and truck will re-
ccive n great Impetus. Just how long
the present oil wells will continue to
produce or when and where new oil
fields will bc discovered no one can
say with certainty. Before that day
| arrives, however, II Is fair to expect
that chemists will have found some
substitute, or inventors Will have found
work of more.

LOCAL BREEDS WIN
MANY FAIR PRIZES

Eighteen prizes on nintoen ipdiyid
uals is the record made bv G.
Warwick and Sons Association AT tbo
State Fair this week. The herd thoro
exhibited contained animals of tbrcn
different lines of Berkshire breedins
and with the exception of two animals
all were produced by the exhibitors
Eleven first prizes, four seconds
and three third prizes were awarded
this herd. a championship ribbon
for the best SOW under one year was
worthy trophy awarded them also
In every class there was keen com
petition since there we're five herds
on list as competitors for prizes. The
Berkshire outnumbered a total of all
other breeds exhibited at the Fair
this year This fact testifies to the
increasing popularity of the breed
The prizes won by the Ashlane in
diyiduals were won on merit alone
since they carried less flesh than
the other strongest competitors. Last
year this Association exhibited but
three head. The increase in numbers
this year is but evidence of their
discrimination to push ahead and ac-
quire prominence as Berkshire Breed
ers.
Within the near future they expect
consignment of hogs from the East
which will contain individuals that
have won prizes in Eastern show rings
