LARGEST POTATO
CROP PROMISED

asaington, Aug. 15.--The largest
potato crop ever produced in this
country. is the promise of the monthly
crop report just issued. Leon NJ Esta-.
brook, chief of the Bureau of Crop
Estimates of the United States De-
pitrtment of Agriculture, stated this
morning that the average production
for the previous 5 years 1911-1915)
was 363,000,006 bushels, which repre-
sents fair crop. This year the indi-
cations are that there will be a crop
of 467,000,000 bushels, which is 160,-
600, 900 above the average.
This is equal to one bushe1 extra
for every man, woman and child in
the country.
In order to avoid waste, officials of
the Department of Agriculture sug-
gest two ways of taking care of this
large increase:
First, all housewives are urged to
use potatoes as far as possible as a
substitute for breadstuffs.
Second, to preserve the potatoes for
winter use by home storage.
These measures, it is stated, will
not only use the potatoes to advan-
tage, but will save wheat.

IIcavs Rainfan Up worth.

\ large amount of rain is reported
TO have fallen to the north and north
west of st. Johnsbury, and streams
and rivers already swollen to high
water mark by the. showers of Thurs
day night were said to be still rising,
and gave promise of flood conditions
in some localities. The shower of
Thursday afternoon broke in all its
fury upon st. Johnsbury and vicinity,
but the storm curtain reached to Lyn-
donpillc and TO towns far to the north.
While large amount of water fell in
localities above this place, the storm
was not accompanied by SO severe an
electrical disturbance.
Many meadows along the streams
between Lyndonville and st. Johns
bury, and even further north, are
flooded, and in some instances heavy
stands of hay and grain have been
badly damaged if not totally Destroy
ed. The corntields in the storm zone
have suffered seriously during the past
forty eight hours and farmers who
have had fields of tall corn not yet
mature fiattened, are somewhat con-
cerned for fear they will have to re-
sort to an early cutting. Old-t timers
say they cannot remember time
when electrical storms, such as have
been passing over this section, have
caused much more damage to farm
buildings and crops over such a wide
area

Fire Department Called.

Meanwhile an alarm had been sent
to the fire department, which respond
ed in a short time. Many urged an
endeavor be made to get the man off
the wire, but as it was highly prob
able he had been instantly killed, and
the lack of any non-conductor with
which to get a grip on the body, it
was thought best to wait until the
power was turned off. The rain which
had fallen steadily for more than so
minutes. covered the road in puddles
inches deep. while small streams ran
down the bitches. The ground was so
heavily charged about the mans body
that persons standing many feet away
could feel slight shocks as the cleo
tricity spread over the wet surface of
the earth.
After the switch had been thrown
at the power house the body, which
by that time was badly burned, was
removed and taken to CalderWood's
undertaking parlors to be prepared for
burial. The deceased is survived by a
daughter. Mrs. Cora Valentine, and
two grand children.

Quimby spoke of the affair as the
most fortunate unfortunate thing that
ever happened to him.
