The following New England crop
report which was sent to the Office by

these interested an idea of this year s
potato and apple crop as it is shaping
up at the present time.
Prospects for potatoes in Aroos-
took County, Maine. changed but lit
lie in July. The condition of the crop
in Maine is now 90ee of normal and
forecasts 23.s95. 900 bushels against
%, 480, 900 last year and the 5-year
average of 23.309, 900. Dry weather
in May and poor seed hurt the stand
somewhat, and heavy rains did some
damage to low lands. but otherwise
fine growth is general with but little
blight reported as yet The crop else
where in Maine, New Hampshire. Yer
mont and most of Massachusetts has
grown we'll as is true III Connecticut,
also. But July drought in northeast
ern Massachusetts and too much rain
in Rhode Island hurt the crop there.
Forecast for the United States, Aug.
is 402. 1874, 900 bushels against 1884,
/ 526 600 July and last years crop of
l35I90t.000, year average-371,-

The commercial apple crop in
Maine will be much less than last
years ercp. but in most other parts
of New England apples are better
than year ago Baldwins are light
in most sections. except Franklin
county. Mass. and the early varieties
run heavier than later ones. Mela-
tosh are reported as affected with
scab. Peaches are a failure in New
Hampshire; some orchards in Barn
stable and Bristol counties, Massachu-
sets, have fair crops, and there are
some peaches in Rhode Island and
Connecticut, but the production will
be very small. Pears are light in
Maine, average crop in Rhode Island
and good elsewhere.

Ditehing Demonstrations Well At
tended

tended
The ditehing demonstrations ar
ranged by County Agent F. L. Davis,
in cooperation with r. j. Enslin Of
the f. l. Dupont de Nemours Com
pany Of New York, were successful
from every standpoint.
The demonstration in the north end
of the county was on the farm Of Au-
gust Danielson, which is on the state
road from Pomfret to South Wood
stock Thirty-eight touring cars and
trucks brought two hundred people
from different parts Of the county to
the demonstration, which started at
$50.
Mr.. Lewis, who is agent Of the Gle
trac, and Mr. Owen of the Fordson
tractors, demonstrated what their
tractors could do, both blowing rather
low. wet land, and under the condi-
tions doing fine work.
A little after 10 o'clock, Mr. En-
sin arrived with the dynamite set for
demonstration, the charge blowing a
ditch about four feet deep and eight
or nine feet wide
Mr. Enslin also demonstrated the
mud-capping Of rock, and blowing
stumps.
Twenty cars assembled at the G. S.
Hyde farm in Brooklyn at 2 o'clock
in the afternoons where Mr.. Enslin
gave ditching demonstration, and
was very successful in mud-capping a
large rock. Using six sticks of dyna-
f mite with the mud-cap, he was able to
shatter the rock so that large
amount of it could be easily removed.
Great interest was shown in these
demonstrations. and a number of
those present plan to do their ditch
ing work by the use Of explosives.

Culling Campaign With Six Demon

Roy L. Jones, Poultry Specialist of
the Connecticut Agricultural College,
and the County Agent, are planning
TO cooperate in holding six culling de-
monstrations September goth and
21st.
The County Agent finds that there
are a large number of men keeping
small and large hocks of poultry who
are exceedingly interested in the Gull
ing work, and it is in answer TO this
demand that the culling demonstra-
tons will be arranged for these days
Those who have done culling work
realize that there is still good deal
TO learn. New ideas are continually
coming into the culling rules, and the
explanations in regard to the evidence
of production or n-production are
changing, SO that it behooves all those
interested in poultry to get the latest
information in. regard to eulling
work by attending one of these de
monstrations which will be arranged

AUTO THIEVES
LAND IN JAIL
AFTER CHASE
Two Youths Who Were Out
on Bonds Arrested Again
on Same Charge.

Paul Null. SO l.. Madison St.
and Calm Beigh, sol Jackson st,
who are thought by the police Off
Gals TO be the ringleaders Of a gang
OF youths who are making 2 prac-
tice Of stealing motor cars and ac-
cessories. are now under arrest as a
result Of the efforts OF Motorcycle
Officer Bert Glmstead. Both men
had been arrested Saturday but
were out or bonds al the time Of
their latest arrest and their cases
were TO be given a hearing today.
In view OF the new charges il r.
probable that the former case will
not be brought up in court until 4
later date.
The arrest Of the two lads is the
elimination of a fast chase between
officer Olmstead and the men in a
stolen automobile. Saturday. while
patroling Mishawaka av., near the
South Bend Watch Co, Qlmstead
noticed a Buick touring car coming
towards the city at a high rate of
speed. Believing the men 10 be or
dinary speeders, the officer gave
chase. The two lads, with several
Ials in the stolen car. drove at a
sickening rate Of speed following
the river past the George Cutter Co
factory. As they reached the fac
tory the larger OF the two youths
youths threw 13 year old Erwin
klotz from the speeding automO-
bile and continued their flight back
10 Notre Dame av and east on the
Edwardsburg road.
Feared Officers.
IL is said that the youths feared
that if they were caught with the
car Klotz would tell all he knew TO
the police officer, so they decided
10 get rid of him. The lad was not
injured by the fall. Officer Ohm
stead chased the touring car TO
within a few Nliles of Granger, Ind..
where his front tire blew out. He
was forced TO give up the chase.
Saturday evening Olmstead found
Beigh "A friend Of young Null with
a number of his pals in Howard
park. The entire party was placed
under arrest and held at the city
jail until Tuesday morning when
three OF the youths were released.
A careful search of the city fail
ed 10 reveal the wherea bouts Of Null
and it was not until Tuesday after
noon that he was located at his
residence by Olmstead. Null crawl
ed through a hole in the side of the
house TO hide. To prevent his es-
cape Sergt. KOczorowsNi and Motor
cycle Officer Mcintyre were sent TO
assist Olmstead who also crawled
under the house and arrested Null.
Police Theory.
II Is thought by the police that
these two youths are implicated in
the theft Of a great man automo-
biies and accessories in South BenG.
II is claimed that after stealing
tires and other accessories the
youths would then steal an auto
mobile and haul their loot 10 near
uy cities where they would dispose
of II. With the arrest of the two
lads the police feel that a damp
er has been put on the stealing OF
motor cars in South Bend.
