FIRST POTATOES
AT 81 PER BARREL
Bangor Commercial Aug. ~

The farmers in Aroostook county are
now hard at work digging potatoes.
Fairly good reports have been received
at the Bangor & Aroostook railroad
offices. and it is said that the crop is
averaging we'll up between 80 and 100 bar
rels to the acre. They sold for 32 per bar
rel in Houlton on Tuesday. This makes
a fairly good report for the Cobblers.
which are always the first potatoes TO be
dug. the Green Mountains coming a little
later.
Several of the farmers report frequent
instances Of rust but it is net known how
prevalent this may be. Until il is found
out just what portion of the crop has
been injured by the too frequent rains,
which were prevalent in the spring. and
which held back many of the farmers in
their planting it cannot be estimated
what price potatoes may finally bring in
Houlton and Caribou.
1t is thought that the labor question Is
being solved, for the government is TO
allow aliens to come over the Canadian
line and assist the farmers in the picking.
Besides this aid the boys who are work.
ing on the farms in Aroostook county are
to remain during the entire picking sea-
son, and are to be allowed to makeup
whatever school work is lost by SO doing.
In some localities, however, labor is to be
rather scarce, but the farmers are to
solve the problem for themselves. They
have agreed to band together to help one
another during the picking season. Sew
eral of them will work on their neigh
bors farms until that neghbor's picking
Is DONE and then the one first aided is to
take his turn in assisting those who still
have picking to do.
All crops in and about Aroostook coun-
ty are said to be in most fourishng
condition. Besides the extra space given
to potatoes this season in an effort to
help Uncle Sam in this time OF need,
many extra acres have been sown to
wheat and corn. 1t Is said that the corn
and wheat are doing remarkably we'll,
and that good crop Of both is expected.
It is also hoped that the rust among the
potatoes may not be prevalent enough to
cause any great loss Of the crop, as It
is felt by the farmers that every potato
that can be harvested can, be used.
