14,as4 CARS OF POTATOES.
Enormous Crop Was Shipped Out Of
Aroostook County This Year at High
Figure.
(Raneor Commercial. April 81

Bangor Commercial, April 81
Although the shipm Of potatoes
over the Bangor & Aroostook railroad
have fallen off considerably this year,
the great difference in price has more
than made up in the amount Of money
received by the Aroostook county
grower. Last March the potato qou-
tations varied from SO to 60 cents a
barrel, while during the month Of
March this year the price has been be-
tween s2.65 and s2.75 by the barrel.
1t is estimated that the amount Of
potatoes remaining ir Aroostook coun-
ty is between two and three million
bushels. The price this year has been
high throughout the year and at no
time was as low as last season.
During the month Of March this
year 1859 cars Of potatoes have been
shipped out of the county as compared
with 2,S96 cars in 1915 and $3.50 cars
in 1914. This brings the total num-
Der Of cars for the year 1916 to date
up to 1884. In 1915 there were
1S.207 and in 1914. 20.74l cars shipped

THE KNOX-WALDO
BASEBALL LEAGUE

Rockland, Me-, April 4.-The Knox
Waldo InterscholaStic Baseball League
will open another season April %, with
Rockland, Thomaston, Vinalhaven
Camden and Belftst High schools as
| the contenders. The struggle for frs.
| honors bids fair to be more evenly
matched this season, for the reason
F! that the champion Thomaston team
will be without Fred Linnell, who, as
/ High school pitcher fer four years, has
been in class by himself in local
! baseball.
That he will have a worthy successor
in Sawyer does not give the opposing
teams SO much concern, for he would
lack, the prestige that helped make
Linnell a winner the moment he step
ped into the box. With snow feet deep
on Maine diamonds and the frost still
playing pranks with Maine soil, there
has been no opportunity for outdoor
practice thus far, and it will be week
vet before there can be any reliable
dope as to who will seek to be the let
ter men. The official schedule fol-
| lows:
April 22-Vinalhaven at Thomaston;
Belfast at Camden.
April 29-Rockland at Vinalhaven;
Camden at Belfast.
| May 6-Thomaston at Belfast.
| May 10-Thomaston at Camden.

dered to furnish $4,000 bail for his APP
pearance at the present term of the
district court. He was unable to
furnish bail and was taken to the
county Jail.

out of the county. in the same period.
1t is thought the reasons there have
been fewer potatoes shipped this year,
is not that the price was high but
rather that the price was lower in the
other years. There were many will
ing to buy potatoes at so and 60 cents
IA barrel when there was no great call
for them. The potatoes used this sea-
son have been to supply the demand
more.
There are about $50 bushels of po-
tatoes to the car, so one can readily
estimate the enormous crop of this
commodity that is shipped out Of the
county each year. 1t is little wonder
when one speaks of the potato grow
ing county they think of Aroostook
county.
