Aroostook Potato Crop

All kinds of reports concerning the
acreage and condition of the Aroostook
Potato crop are now going the rounds
of the press. A collection of news
paper clippings on that subject were
taken yesterday to E. l.. Newdick,
chief of the Division of Seed Improve
ment, Department of Agriculture, and
his opinion asked as to the correct
ness of any or all. The statements
differed on both points. Said MIR.
Newdick:
mo doubt but what the acreage of
potatoes increased over what we
thought it would be two months ago.
At that time, the fertilizer had not ar
rived in the necessary amounts. 1t
began to come in and but L short time
ago there was fertilizer in Aroostook
to spare.
There is no doubt but what it has
been rather a poor growing year for
potatoes. There has been q lot of rot.
You remember that northern Aroos-
took had a lot of rain early in the
season-the ROT followed. But,
it can be said that the plants
that did come up are hardy and
healthy appearing. strong and rugged.
don't believe anyone has the right
now to predict what the potato crop
is going to be-because so many things
may happen. For instance: Every
other day lately we have lad showers,
which have been clearing off warm
and it acts just like it has in so many
seasons in the past, when we've had an
outbreak of blight about the middle OF
August.
The plants are now large enough
to be practically out of danger from
the insects but the numerous potato
dis eases which we have to combat are
taking their usual toll from the CROP
black scruf or rhizoctonia and net
crosis. Mosaic is showing about the
same as last year on the Green Noun
tain strains.
We will start our crews today
DULY 1s) on the work of certifying
seed potatoes. C. A Stetson of Carl
bou, Charles Hotham of Patten and
Carl Lewis of Augusta will take care
Of the work in Aroostook county. 1
will look after this part Of the State,
with Roy Bacon Of Sidney and another
man with me. Our work will carry us
into several counties. l shall go to
Troy and Newport on Tuesday and
then on to Piscataquis county. All
our men will be busy now on that work
until fall.
Yes, you may say that l think the
potato planting is above the normal
but remember there has been lots of
rot. This rot is due to several causes,
among them: i great deal of s~sd
was cut and kept too long before being
planted; therefore it heated.
Seed was no doubt planted that hao
been chilled, owing to the very severe
winter
And in central Maine. the rot was
caused to some extent by planting the
seed when the ground was too dry and
hot.

news bothered me a great deal, had
severe pains in my back, and was
simply miserable.

local funds making up tnle ACCOUNT
to secure improved quality Of teach
ing: The intention is not to increase
teachers wages indiscriminately out
rather to assist in securing better
| teachers, encouraging self improve
ment and recognizing merit, Where
increased salaries with improved
service have already been PROVIDED
within the current year apportion-
ments may be used to assist IN meet
ing such increases.
Advertisements which may be
made for special purposes are to as
sist in securing definite improvements
in physical conditions and equipment
with an aim to meet standard condl-
tions in these respects. Such appor-
tionments should be supplemented by
town funds which may be available
for the purposes specified. Ordinary
repairs, replacement Of equipment
without improvement or other mat
ters for which the town is dlrectly
responsible should not be paid for
from the Equalization Fund. Plans,
proposals and lists Of equipment
should be submitted to the state
SUPERINTENDENT of schools for ap-
prevail before the work is undertaken.
Such records should be kept regard
ing the expenditures and results OF
the appointments as may make
possible a definite and complete re-
port.
Eligibility to share in the Equallza-
ton Fund is determined by compar-
ing local tax rates for common school
purposes and municipal purposes
with the State averages of those
rates. On account of changing rates,
both local and average, the receipt OF
apportionment for the current year
should not be taken as a guarantee of
future aid
