E. L. Newdick Talks on
Me. Potato Conditions

E. L. Newdick, chief of the Bureau
of Seed Improvement, Department OF
Agriculture, states that reports COM
ing to him indicate that the potato
rot in Aroostook and other potato
raising sections of Maine has shown
an Improvement with the coming Of
colder and drier weather of the past
ID days. He notes that the early dug
potatoes in Aroostook, those placed
in the bins ran into the hot spell and
roted badly; but those people who
left their potatoes in the ground and
dug later got better results.
Mr.. Newdick said that the market
is quiet with no buyers, although the
government report of Oct. l3 gave the
market price at $40 per barrel. AS
il Is costing the grower about $3.50 to
s2S5 per acre to raise his potatoes he
must get close to SO per barrel to
make himself whole. The difficulty is
also that the future promises but lit
tie improvement. 1T is an off year
Some yields are fine said Mr..
Newdick. II was last week on a field
in Caribou, of six acres. on which the
owner planted the very best of his
seed and gave it his personal atten-
ton and care. He got 9l6 barrels from
the six acres, or about 153 per acre
That looks pretty good. as the aver
age yield this year is considerably
under 100 barrels per acre.
I'VE have shipped this week three
carloads OF certified seed potatoes
This seed was field inspected and fl
nally inspected when being packed
for shipment. They brought $40 per
barrel. on contract made last Au-
gust. The seed was as near "just
right as we can find. We are having
lots of inquiries for certified seed
stock, which will help all those who
have it-but only small percentage
this year have any TO dispose of.
I'VE sent last year some certified
Maine potato seed to Delaware from
which we have received the finest of
reports. NJ. o. Pence. county agent
leader. writes from Newark, Del, as
follows:
Last spring we secured through
your cooperation barrel of certit
ed Maine Cobblers which were placed !

know that the Maine seed yielded at

circumstances which the board be-
lieves, after careful Investigation, will
result in happiness both to the moth
ers and the children. gpf y.
1t is the belief, OF the board that
the best place for the child is with
its mother. Sometimes the action of
the mother. or the father may make
1t necessary for the court to intervene
and protect the child then the child
Is worse than orphaned.
The above cases have gone. one to
Massachusetts and one to New Hamp-
shire. In the Massachusetts, case the
mother was located as result of CO.
operation with the Massachusetts
Board in investigating the home of an
aunt. The Maine board felt in this
case that if there. was no suitable
mother and there were other relatives
Hho We're suitable. they ought to have
the child. These efforts located the
mother. 1t appears that both the
mother and, the father went to Massa-
chusetts years ago. The father came
back alone and wouldn't tell the chill
dren anything about their mother and
she has never been able to get any
trace of them until the present time.
The father neglected the children and
the courts had to order other pro-
vision
In the. other case. no court action
had been taken but the mother had
left her child and gone to New Hamp-
shire. After lapse of years she has
been located, found to be financially
situated so that she can care for her
child, has been told where it is and
with the consent of the board, which
has been caring for the child under
the dependency clause of the statute.
since it had no settlement, has come
to Maine. gotten her child and taken
it back ITO New Hampshire with her.
The suitability OF the New Hamp-
shire home was determined through
the boards own investigation, an
agent of the board having been sent
to New Hampshire for that purpose

Ten Cent Fair Allowed
On p, ID. & Y. St. Railroad

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission
granting the increase in fares asked
for by the Portsmouth, Dover & York
Street Railway.
THE Portsmouth. Dover & York
Street Railway was for time part
of the Atlantic Shore Line Railway,
but in May, 1917. this particular
division was placed in charge of a
receiver and has since that time been
operated as a separate unit Of trans
portation," says the decision. Its
lines begin at York Beach and con-
meet that point and intervening terri
tory with Portsmouth, n. H., Dover
N. H., and South Berwick in this
State" 1t concludes:
THE proposition contained in the
new schedule of rates is to increase
cents, with a ticket rate of six tickets
for so cents. or 1-3 cents for each
ride for which seven cents is now
paid. There is also a proportional
increase in the scholars ticket rate
and the ticket rate for workmen.
This increase, taking into account the
expected loss of traffic, will do but
little more than pay bare operating
costs, and one member of the bond
holders committee expressed the be-
lief that even at the increased rates
the company would still be short of
earning it's actual operating expenses.
The schedule suggested is surely
no greater than has been allowed to
Maine but all over the country. and
the amount which the patrons will
pay is much less per mile than is
paid upon the steam railroads at the
present time and less than is paid per
mile upon many street railways.
Without going into details of figures
presented. the evidence satisfies us
that the schedule permitted is reason
able and should at least be temper
arily approved"

end, and was ditched on the left sac
of the road with broken wheel. and
mud guard. Mr.. Sherman, however,
escaped without injury.
THE railway track coming from
Augusta approaches Morang's Cross
ing at quite steep grade. and the
cars are always obliged to slow down
in going up this hill. The vision in
the northeast angle was clear, so that
the motorman had an uninterrupted
view OF the highway. and the auto
mobile drivers had an uninterrupted
view of the railroad track. The
weather was misty with some rain.
but both the motorman and the ai-
tomobile drivers state that their vi
sion was not obscured by the rain.
The motorman says that he looked
both ways before coming onto the
crossing, and although his car was
moving very slowly, he says he did
not see the automobiles until right at
the time Of the collision. Mr.. Rich
ardson says that he looked both ways
as he approached the crossing, and
that he did not see the electric car
until within eight feet of the cross
ing. The fact of the collision indi-
Gates clearly that neither the motor
man nor the drivers of these two
automobiles were really looking.
They were not giving that close at
tention to their work which the sit
uation demanded.
> Had the motorman observed these
two automobiles approaching the
crossing at such high rate of speed,
he might easily have stopped his car
before going onto the crossing. or at
least given a warning whistle, and
thereby avoided the accident. But
the motorman is not primarily to
blame for this sad accident. Mr..
Richardson admits. and all the testi-
mony in the case clearly shows, that
the automobiles were approaching
the crossing at very high rate of
speed, much faster than the law al
lows, and very much faster than or
binary care and the dictates Of safe
ty permit. Although Mr.. Richardson
says he was perfectly familiar with
this crossing and doubtless had
passed over it many times, yet he
failed to take any of those precau-
tions which the law requires and
which the safety of himself and his
family demanded"

STATE HOUSE
Meeting Council A. NJ, Standard
Wednesday, Oct 20.

A decision has been rendered, by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter Of the accident which
took place at Morangs Crossing on
the line Of the Androscoggin & Ken
nebec Railway Sept. IL, last, result
ing in the death of Roland Richard
SON. The decision follows:
&C. W. Richardson of North Mon
mouth was driving a Chevrolet car
in which were also his wife and two
young sons. Wilfred, aged four years,
and Roland, aged Is months, from
Monmouth towards Augusta on the
morning of Sept. IL, 1920. Following
along behind him was a Ford tour
ing car driven by William s. Sher-
man, whom Richardson had passed
some distance back.

room at 10 o'clock that morning and

preached the crossing at slow rate

than one or two miles per hour for
the purpose Of making a stop there
Just as the trolley was coming to
the crossing, Mr.. Richardson ap-
preached the crossing in his Chevro-
let driving very rapidly, and at
tempted to pass over in front of the
electric car. The front end of the
electric car struck the automobile,
turning it over and throwing the oc-
cupants out. The young child, Ro-
land, was thrown against rock and
sustained broken skull and re-
ceived other injuries from which he
died at the hospital on the afternoon
Of the same day. Mrs. Richardson
was very severely injured while Mr..
Richardson and the other child re-
ceived minor injuries. The Ford car

diately behind the Chevrolet and was
