POTATO
CROP nv HISTORY
One Extra Bushel for Each Person Over
Last Years Quota Is Esti-

Washington, Aug. 2l.--I'he largest no
tato crop ever produced in this country
is the promise of the monthly crop re
port just issued Leon Nj. Estabrook
chief of the bureau of crop estimates Of
the United States department of agri.
culture, stated recently that the average
production for the previous five years
l9ll-lp15l was 363.00040Q0 bushels
which represents a fair crop. This year
the indications are that there will be a
crop of 467 900 900 bushels, which is 100.
900, 900 above the average.
This is equal to one bushel extra for
every man, woman and child in the coun-
try.
In order to avoid waste, officials Of the
department of agriculture suggest two
ways of taking care of this large in
crease:
First, all housewives are urged to use
potatoes AZ far as possible as substi-
tute for hreadstuifs
Second. to preserve the potatoes for
winter use by nome storage.
These measures, it il stated, will not
only use the potatoes to advantage, but
will save wheat

oceoquan, Va, Aug. 2l.---Six woman's
party pickets doing their bit--So days in
the workhouse here-went on a severely
strict program yesterday
The latitude previously allowed their
sisters had vanished In its place was a
set OF grim rules. The six are almost
incommunicado. None but relatives or
their attorney can visit them and then
only twice a month.
They can have nothing but the usual
prison fare, and they can do their share
of scrubbing, sewing or gardening, just
the same as other prisoners
The women are finding II hard to eat
the prison fare, but they haven't gone
on hunger strike yet. Superintendent
Whitaker predicts that II they stay here
the full month they will all gain from
five TO Is pounds
Representative Barr of South Dakota,
who has introduced resolution asking
for an investigation into picketing and
means taken to prevent, is expected to
make a personal inquiry into conditions.

from suffragettes in Colorado, asserting
they are bombarding the capital and the

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending Aug. 20.

The annual meeting at Chelsea Aug
% is the event and date the county agent
has been trying TO impress on the minds
of the people of Orange county this past
week. Advertising this meeting and max.
ing out reports to present at the same
have taken up over half the time Of the
week. Everything now prophesies the
largest and most interesting meeting the
county association has ever held,
The possibilities Of sheep raising in
Orange county was brought TO the atten.
ton of the county agent in striking
way this week when in company with
j, A. Sturtevant, the newly appointed
state sheep specialist. he visited a man
in the central part of the county who
wishes to stock his 800 acres of wild
land with 1000 sheep. There are sew.
eral such locations in the county, where
] 900 or more acres of land could be Sc
cured cheap and which are excellentIy
adapted TO sheep raising. With the
shortage of labor and the increasing de.
mand for foodstuffs, many small farm
could make sheep part of their general
farm scheme to advantage. The prob
lens of dogs, fencing, etc, are real prob
lens, but ones which could be overcome.
The county agent wonders II th,re
lis not good deal of truth in a recent
article in one of our farm papers which
laid the present lack Of interest in sheep
to the natural slowness of our New Eng
land farmers to grasp opportunities. Let
US think this problem over carefully and
if we think that sheep would pay us,
act. Mr.. Sturtevant would be glad to
talk the matter over with any and If
several would apply to the county agent
for his assistance, visit from him would
be secured

Under the food law, the coal controller
will fix prices from the mine to the con-

mediary steps of distribution.
Relief of the Northwest and New Eng
land threatened with coal famine, viii
be among the first steps undertaken.
A sharp reduction in prices to the Amer

ment to-day is paying 1888 at the mine
for bituminous coal. The rate of $500
fixed by the coal operators voluntarily at
the conference with Secretary of the In
terror Lane last June is now admitted
by operators to be high.
Figures gathered by the federal trade
in its investigation of coal
costs show that it was mined in many
districts as low as 90 cents ton. Diff

and mining conditions will be taken into
in the fixing Of prices to

obedience to an order issued by the In.

cent of trying to hamper the harvest
and tie up the industries of the country

his arrest would make the industrial
situation worse, but this statement did
not seem to be borne out by the facts
yesterday. The strike of lumbermen was
said to be for the eight hour day and

agricultural and structural workers to
