~ / am a young man Of 30 and
have been going with a girl Of
IS, off and on, four years.
During part Of this time she
was away. but I corresponded
with her.
What puzzles me most is that
sometimes when I take her to
places she seems to have q good
time and enjoy being with me.
At other times she Is like diff.
ferent girl.
don't have to tell you how
much / think of her when / say
that last summer proposed to
her. She wouldn't give me any
definite answer and the matter
has been dropped entirely.
Now still think as much OF
her as ever, IL not more. Shall
speak to her about It again? Or
shall take her indifference at
times as an answer?
II I had a home I might not

too young. Do you?

SMALLER ACREAGE
CERTIFIED SEED
POTATOES PLANTED

Wakefield, Mass. Aug. 5.-(P-
Reports from inspectors in four
eastern states and three maritime
provinces indicate a marked decrease
in acreage of certified seed potatoes
the New England crop reporting SER
vice announced today. 1t was esti-
mated that the acreage would be 70
per cent of last years.
The states and provinces covered
by the report were Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince
Edward Island. The total acreage
entered in this area was given as
25,163, as compared to 32,2S4 last
year and 1884 in 1924, the peak year.
Maine has 40 per cent of the total
this year with the exception OF
Prince Edward Island, which in
creased seed potato acreage ten per
cent over last year. Decreases We're
reported by all the other states and
provinces covered by. the report. The
largest reduction was in the Green
Mountain region, which shows only Sc
per cent of last years acreage. The
crop was planted later but has
grown well in most places. The pre-
sent outlook for the main United
States potato crop forecasts a strong
market, the report said.
