MR.. BRYAN UP A TREE.

"A few days ago Mr.. William j. Bryan
~ lille hunting, was chased by bull. Mr.
Br yam did not stop to make any of those
eloquent remarks for which he is so noted
but dropped his gun, fled precipitately
and succeeded in reaching safety in a
tree without being boosted by the bull.
1t is sixteen to one bet that he made a
better run for the tree than he did for
the White House in 1896.

| The November meeting of Waldo Po-
| mona Grange was held with Harvest
Moon Grange at Thorndike Station

number of Waldo county patrons to at
tend this session. The Master, Charles
Woods, called the grange to order and

afternoon session was promptly called to
order A selection by the grange choir;
an address of welcome by Sister Lulu

cordial welcome to Harvest Moon Grange
home. In the absence of Sister Gertrude
Libby the response was given by Sister L.
A. Cochran of Seaside Grange, Belfast
A song by Maud Hogan followed who re-
sponded to an encore. A discussion of the
topic: (Which are the Best Money Max
ers for the Farmer, Cows or Potatoes?'
was opened by 0. j. Parsons of Harvest
Moon Grange followed by members rep
resenting several oranges who make
business Of dairying and potato raising;
the opinions expressed seemed about
evenly divided, although several favored
the keeping of cows as requiring less real
hard labor than preparing the soil and
raising potatoes, but attention to ones
business seemed essential to success in
either line. A pleasing tableau, "Always
Ready" was given. Mr.. Donahue, the
agent for Waldo county of Agriculture
Extension work, was present and gave an
instructive address outlining the Demon
stration work which he plans for this
county. Subordinate oranges are asked
to aid this work by appointing commit
tees and arranging for demonstration

Stock up the Wood Shed.
Coal May be Harder to Get Next Yeal
Than This.

Than This.
| Coal is in great demand all through
New England, but, in spite of the best
endeavors of the Fuel Administrator the
supply has fallen far behind the require
ments The situation is serious.
At the present time New England is
several million tons of soft coal short of
its needs, and while the hard coal supply
was reasonably satisfactory two mon his
ago there was falling off during Sep
TENDER and October, so that there is not
enough now coming forward to meet the
increased uses
Every effort has been and is being
made by the Fuel Administrator to facil-
ltate shipments and to secure the eco
nomical utilization of the coal received
Many relatively unnecessary forms of
use have en- curtailed or even eliminat-
ed.
The fact remains that the outlook for
any improvement in future deliveries for
New England is unfavorable, and it has
become the duty of the Administrator to
advise the public of these facts, and to
urge that personal and community pru-
dence and national patriotism require
that New England should begin at once
to utilize as fully as may be the native
cordwood supplies.
At recent conference of fuel officials,
woodland owners, wood dealers, the Grange
and others interested, representing all
the New England States, the opinion was
unanimously expressed that an organic
ed effort should be made without any de-
lay to provide a store of wood sufficient
for immediate and future needs.
The reports from the several States in
Dictated positively that the supply of
wood now on hand is everywhere short
even of normal requirements, and that
there nowhere appears to be any danger
of Cutting the market through any cut
ting activity that may be inaugurated.
In view of the likelihood that there will
be an even greater stringency in the coal
situation later in the season, and with
the possibility that these conditions may
not be materially improved another year,
the present or future market for good
cordwood bears a most promising appear
ance.
1t was further recommended by the
conference referred to above that an APP
peal should be made to Local Commit
tees of Public Safety in all wood pro-
ducing localities, and to County Agents
as well, to take an inventory of all avail
able supplies of cordwood -tumpage that
are situated within reasonable distance
market, and to endeavor forcefully
to arrange for its cutting without delay.
1t is therefore earnestly requested that
the Oranges and the Farmers Clubs will
Immediately take an active part in CO.
operating with the Local Committees on
Public Safety in this important matter.

WoOdsmen Scarce.

The lumbermen report great scarcity
of men who are willing to work in the
woods this winter. The war has taken
scores of men from Maine and also from
the Canadian Provinces. Good choppers
are being paid, in some instances, as high
as $55 or 500 per month, the highest
prices in the history of numbering in the
Pine Tree State.

The Storage Of Potatoes.

The United States Food Administration
sends the following suggestions prepared
by the experts of the Potato Division for
the proper care of potatoes:
It is of great importance that all the
potatoes raised this year should be stored
under proper conditions. Even when
every precaution is taken the wastage of
potatoes during the winter is consider
able; under bad conditions of storage it is
very great indeed.
In order that the best methods may be
adopted by the small growers those who
have not had the experience in the stor-
age Of potatoes, should know the chief
Causes of Potato Waste.
ID Sweating, heating and consequent
rot; often due to insufficient ventilation.
"a Rotting: due to potatoes getting
wet at the time Of putting them in stor-
age.
30 Injury from frost.
"a Decay: owing to disease in the
tubers at the time of storage
(5) Sprouting of tubers in the spring.
It is not possible to prevent altogether
losses from these causes, but by using
the best methods of storage, it is possible
to reduce them very materially.
This may be done by taking care to
guard against losses from each of these
causes:
Prevention of Rot, Frost and Sproutlng.
Ds Sweating and heating occur if the
freshly dug potatoes are piled in too large
piles, so that the air cannot circulate be-
tween the tubers. The risk of loss from
this cause is greatest in the fall, immedi-
ately after the tubers have been dug, and
it is therefore, important that potatoes
when dug should not be put in unneces-
sarily large piles, nor kept in an ill-ven-
tilated ROOM
~ Rotting from getting the potatoes
wet. If the potatoes at the digging time
are allowed to get wet and put into the
storage in that condition, rotting is apt
to occur. Be careful to have your pota-
toes dry before storing.
81 Injury from frost. Potatoes are
easily damaged by frost If they become
frozen, their market value is destroyed
Therefore, take every precaution to pro-
tect the tubers from getting frozen be-
fore and after digging.
"a Disease. There are several dis
eases of the potato which destroy the
tuber, and if diseased tubers are mixed
with the sound ones, the disease spreads
rapidly; therefore, it is necessary to sort
the potatoes carefully, eliminating all of
the disease, the cuts, culls and dirt be-
fore placing them into permanent storage
for the winter. All of the cuts, culls,
misshapen and diseased tubers should be
fed to the poultry and live stock, but
should be steamed or boiled before being
fed, as in this way you increase the food
value, and also destroy the germs of the
disease, so that it will not get into the
manure and thence into the land.
(5) By proper ventilation of the cellar
or storage room, and by holding the tenn
perature as near IS degrees, F. as posi-
BILE you can keep the potatoes from sprout-
ing.
