FORECAST INCREASE
IN POTATO CROP

WAkEtlE lELD, Mass. Nov. ID
A further increase in the potato
crop in northern New England and
the eastern States was forecast
today by V. A. Sanders, crop sta
tistician of the United States Bur-
eau of Markets and Gro Esti-
mates. The estimated yield was in
creased from 32,776,000 bushels on
October 1 to 37,152,000 on Novem-
Der /. Yields in other parts of
Northern New England also were
set considerably above earlier esti-
amtes. In southern New England
the yields were reported slightly
better than expected. The Maine
apple crop was reported to
exceed slightly the October esti-
mate of $4,000 barrels with the
crop elsewhere in New England
very light.
The quality was reported good
to excellent. The tobacco crop of
New England was said to be the
best of recent years and of ex-
cellent quality except from slight
hail damage. Preliminary average
yield for this State was estimated
at 1900 mounds and for Connect
cut, 1865 pounds.

DOG, SEVEN DAYS
WITHOUT FOOD OR
WATER Is RESCUEJ

The valuable Belgian police
dog owned bv H. f. Lane,
which was lost seven days ago
was found Monday by Frank
Vancour. Mr.. Vancour was
passing the old Whitney store
house in the rear of the New
port House and his attention
was attracted by the winning
of some animal. and upon in
vestigation found the dog had
crawled through a small hole
into an eight foot pit which
years ago was used for the
counter-weight of the elevator
in the storehouse. The dog
could not extricate himself as
the pit was so deep and the
hole so small that the dog
could neither jump nor crawl
out. The dog did not seem
weak from his seven days fast
but came out feeling fine and
needless to say, Mr.. Lane is
delighted at the recovery of
his pet.

FIVE DAY
SCHEDULE AT
SCALE WORKS
Ten Per Cent Cut in Wag-
es Also Effective Thru
out the Plant

A meeting of the directors OF
E. and T. Fairbanks and Co., was
held at St. Johnsbury last week
and the future plans and policies
of the scale corporation generally
discussed. AS result of the
meeting notices have been posted
at the scale factory announcing
that the working hours will be
eight hours day for five days 4
week. This in an increase from
the schedule of the summer
months of Is hours, the factory
having been operated only on a
three day schedule of eight hours
a day. With the change of work
ing hours is also cut in wages
of 10 per cent, effective through
out the plant The foundry and
one or two other departments be-
gan this week on the new schedule
and the entire plant will be oper-
ated on the new basis next week.
The directors decided to take
this step to put a stock of scales
into their salehouses throughout
the United States against future
sales, hoping that after the turn OF
the year business will be better
and orders will increase. The cut
in wages was necessitated by the
competition of other concerns who
have reduced wages and thus re-
duced the cost of their product.
The management frankly state
there has been no increase in or
ders to warrant the extension OF
the working hours, but they are
going to stock up for future busi-
ness which everyone thinks Will
come as economic conditions inn
prove throughout the country and
the world.
At a recent meeting of the di-
rectors of Fairbanks, Morse and
Co.. the owners of the entire
stock of the st. Johnsbury corpor-
alton, c. w. Pank of Chicago, di-
rector of the sales of the corpor-
alton. was elected director to
succeed the late Charles H. Morse.
1t will also interest the many
friends of Henry J. Fuller of New
York the president of E. and 1.
Fairbanks and Co., to know that
after January / he will be con.
nected with the banking house OF
Aldrich and Co., of New York
city and that he will graduany
give up his active interest in the
various manufacturing concerns
with which he is connected. He
will retain, however, the nresl-
dency of the ST. Johnsbury plant,
the presidency of the Canadian
plant of Fairbanks, Morse and Co;
of Chicago. Mr.. Fuller's boyhood
days were spent in st. Johnsbury
and he started in his successful
manufacturing career at the st.
Johnsbury Scale factory.
