one Of Fort Fairdens business men
was in town one day last week He
said the potato crop Fas fine in the
J Aroostook, growing rapidly and look
ing as we'll as ever seen. In very
few places, however, in the lowest
| spots, there has been too much water
for their good This trouble does not
obtain much in southern Aroostook,
where the soil is less favorable for
crops during a wet spell. The spray
! ing has been very slightly done this
year owing to the prolonged bad
weather Even when spraying was
| done, the materials were promptly
washed off by some sharp shower.
This lack Of spraying renders the crop
| peculiarly open to attacks from rust
which all are now fearing, the condi-
tons lately having been very favor
able for its development Indeed, it
! is said to have come already in some
places, but is not yet showing to any
alarming extent here. Potatoes in So
days from the time of planting is get
ting around some. We got some to
IA inches in diameter that grew in
this time.
