POTATO NOTES

Fort Fairfield Review: Potatoes are
bringing from $3.50 TO s2.75 in the
Fort Fairfield market, with but very
few coming. Some are predicting
that the Irish Cobblers Will average
almost normal yield. The rust

Fairfield and Caribou than in East
on and southern Pressure Isle. In the
latter places the Cobblers in many
fields are still green. The rust struck
even earlier in Limestone than in Fort
Fairfield. All sorts of yields will be
,iven by the Green Mountains. from
fair to very poor. Our people are in
no hurry to sell. and It goes without
saying that a large percentage of our
potatoes will go into potato houses.
