REPORT
LOSS OF POTATOES
Were Frozen During Exceptionally Cold
Weather-Canned Goods Also
Freeze in Cellars.

Many farmers in Windham county
have reported to County Agricultural
Agent A. w. Sweeton that their potatoes
have frozen this winter. The number
is much larger than usual. and the loss
from this source is considerable. Some
farmers stored potatoes in anticipation
OF high prices and had larger quanti-
ty on hand than they otherwise would
have had.
In many cellars which ordinarily are
safe for storing against frost canned
goods which were put up as a result of
the canning campaign last fall have
frozen and burst the cans, and the con
tents of jars in which eggs We're put
down have frozen solid in numerous in
stances.
