favor, particularly with the indie

The central purchasing idea was
presented at length to the various

and everywhere a most cordial feel

being received from the Houlton

the country, starting with a capital of
about $14O and now carrying a 10000

Said Mr.. White of what he OBJ
served and heard Of the potato situa-
ton in Aroostook:
Money is tight-but courage is at
a premium in Aroostook. Notwith-
standing the losses of the past year,
the potato growers are clearing their
cellars and potato houses and plant
ing about IL per cent. more acreage
than last year. They are using more
fertilizer, believing that liberal as
sistance of that kind will make the
soil yield larger crop.
II saw at one starch mill or fac
tory a string of 4S wagons, with from
20 to Is barrels of potatoes each,
awaiting their turns to unload-and
all for % cents a barrel. Why, that
would hardly pay for shoveling them
into the barrels or carts, to say moth
ing of what it cost to raise and care
for them up to date. But as 1 said
before:
Money is tight, but courage is at
a premium"
