Maine Crop Review
Will Be Ready for
Public in January

Charles NJ. White of the State De-
partment of Agriculture announced
yesterday that the work of compiling
the eighth annual issue of the Maine
Crop Review is well under way, and
the Review will be in shape to issue
the latter part of January or the
first of the following month.
The Maine Department Of Agricul-
ture cooperateS with V. A. Sanders.
statistician in charge of the New
England Crop Reporting Service of
Wakefield, Mass, in the compiling
aud printing of the Crop Review,
which is without doubt one of the
most complicated tabulations made
for any State department
Charts anu graphs are employed in
connection with the figures used, and
the completed Review contains the
closest possible estimates of the size
and value of each agricultural pro-
7uct raised in Maine by counties.
The total value of each crop is also
recorded for the current year and
the total value of all crops is also
arrived at
About 800 copies OF the Crop Re
view are then prepared on the
mimeopragh, and last years issue
contained 26 pages in all. These
are distributed to the agricultural
colleges, fertilizer companies and
produce dealers, providing very
close check on the annual agricul-
tural resources of the State, and
enabling the possessors of the Re-
view to strike an average of prices
for any given commodity over
period of years.
According to last years figures,
the potato crop for 1925 was valued
at $6S,340,000, which was II percent
of the value of all crops raised in
Maine, and 81 percent of the value
of all crops except hay. The value
of the 1925 potato crop was more
than 40 times the value of the COM
mercial apple crop, and % times the
total apple crop for the year.
However, the potato crop in 1925
was q very exceptional one, and its
value was estimated as being more
than three times the average for the
five preceding years from 1920 to
1925. Mr. White stated that there
will be a slight falling off this year,
owing to present prices for potatoes
being considerably less than those
of a year ago.
The reports indicate a considerable
increasing in the raising of peas and
sweet corn for canning purposes.
The total acreage for peas increased
from an average of $50 acres in
1920-24 to 1866 acres in 1925. The
sweet corn acreage increased from
10,040 in 1921 to 1880 in 1925. more
than so percent.
The charts used in the preparation
Of the Review show the per acre
yield of any given crop for each
year, and the average yield for per-
iods of years in each section of the
State, so that the prospective grow
er can arrive at conclusions concern
ing the best field for his future ag-
ricultural projects.
One page is devoted to the tabula-
ton of the leading crops IN each
county, based on the values of such
crops over the preceding two ear
period. Crops are also treated sep
arately, so as to give all possible in
formation regarding the yearly size
and value of each.

Warning Signs
On Highways Are
Big Safety Factor

"The most important single factor
in the educational program for Tor
est conservation is the group or
warning signs annually posted along
the thoroughfares, waterways, ana
highways of the State" says Com
missioner Neil l.. Violette OF the
State Department of Forestry.
Upwards of $4,000 of these signs
are put out by the department an
nually, and it is safe to state that
not q single visitor enters the Tor
ests of Maine without being warned
of the real dangers of carelessness
with fire, in this manner"
Many of the signs are new this
year and during the coming summer
they will be posted at camp sites.
on roads leading into this state from
Canada, New Brunswick and New
Hampshire, along the main canoe
routes, beside springs. and wherever
the summer tourist is most certain
to see them and heed the warnings.
The large Danger" sign is made
of very heavy metal, and is swung
across roadways at sufficient
height to clear the top of the tallest
load that can be carried on big
motor truck. The Camp Site" sign
serves SeNGEdl plt pOSSSt IL uoliiCS
the stranger on his arrival that here
is an excellent place to pitch his
tent and enjoy the benefits of a good
camp ground, with a fireplace al
ready built and a good spring close
by.
The interstate boundary sign,
headed You Are Now Entering the
State of Maine" greets the newly
arrived tourist at the bridges lead
ing into the state, and on the re-
verse side thanks them for having
been careful with their fires while
in Maine.
Special appeals are made to the
logger, the fisherman, the motorist
and the hunter, emphasizing the
need for care to prevent the de-
struction of the fish, the game and
the forests which harbor all.
The background of each sign is
bright yellow. on which the black
letters stand out with startling dis
tinctness, enabling them to be cas-
lily read at a considerable distance.
The signs are good for several years
of service unless the enamel is brok-
en-, which sometimes occurs when
thoughtless hunters use the yellow
placards for targets for their rifles,
shotgunS or pistols. Once the enam-
ell Is broken, the signs rust out very
quickly, and must then be replaced.

DAVID WAKEFIELD
SUCCESS FOR
FOX FILMS

With first announcements some
time ago that William Fox had ar
ranged with David Belasco for the
screen rights Of his plays. there has
been much speculation as TO who
would play the roles made famous
by David Warfield, and which Of
them would be released first.
1t has been definitely decided
that 1.-THE Return of Peter Grimm"

or not the dead can really cornmu-
nicate with the living is sthe theme
Of Peter Grimm"
A tremendous amount Of expert.
mental and original work was in.
volved in the making OF spirit"
scenes in this story. and It Is pre-.
dicted that it will create something
of mild sensation, in addition
to establishing the fact that these
well-known stage classics lose
nothing in being transferred to the
screen. On the contrary, many Of
the finer and most artistic touches
Of Mr.. Belasco are being carried
out in the picture, which could
never be produced on the stage.
Victor Schertzinger is directing
the production and the principal
roles are played by Janet Gaynor.

who pretends yearning for the

day, when the troops from Fort
Dodge were indispensable to every
last act, will likewise acknowledge
that It Is an entertaining drama
and that Mr.. Belasco Is the one
producer on the stage who can
still make hokum palatable.
Beth Merrill, d supremely good
actress, is Lily Sue. She s{a

way. She reminds me mostly
of Mae Marsh, particularly in
that superbly done piece OF
hysteria wherein she learns who
the murderer Is, at the moment
her sweetheart faces deliverance
TO the mop, miles AWAY. AGAIN
in the mob scene outside the
Jail she hits a deep emotional
pitch that rings true and spon-
taneous.

at Polls as Captain Flagg in

staggering sheriff In a style
that leaves no regrets with me
that other business called Willard
Mack from the cast. Curtis
Cooksey, the giant young cow
