life on the farm; life nourished
by physical and mental labor
expanded on the land, which is
the source of all nourishment.
l have just been reading in the
Geographical Review what Ella
NJ. Wilson has to say about the
wonderful potatoes in the Aroos-
took valley. Before my last
reading about that remote corner
of Northern Maine had been IN
Thoreau's Maine Woods" where
he describes how, lying in q
leaking tent in the wilderness, he
listened to 1.-The grandest thun-
der / ever heard-rapid peals,
round and plump, bang, bang,
bang, like artillery from some
fortress in the sky, and the
lightning was proportionately
brilliant"
Even as late as 1899 Northern
Maine was described by a high
geographical authority only as
q "forested wilderness" and the
Aroostook valley entirely escaped
mention. Now it has become
potato region" par excellence.
In 1924 1t beat even the German
pre-war yield Of 2O9 bushels to
the acre, by raising 800 bushels.
Yankees Helped Out
1t seems that agriculturists
hardly know whether the sur.
prising production of potatoes In
this pocket of glacial soils in
a granite wilderness" is due to
the land or to the human fac
tor. This consists principally Of

the New England States and III
the Mohawk valley and the rich
farming regions among the lakes
of New York. 1t was such a life
as some of us thought that we
should never see again; such a
life as we now go to look for
in vain where once 1t flOurished

Wilson. Almost all the boys

Most of the farmers live on
their farms, as they should do.
OF the thirty farms visited by
Miss Wilson only one was being
run by a man who did not own
it, and he had been on this same
farm tWenty-one years. One.half
