TOTATO  VALUES  UNSETTLED. 
prices  have  shown  a  wide  and  uncer¬ 
tain  range  In  the  potato  market  for  va¬ 
rious  reasons.  Many  shipments  were  de¬ 
layed  hy  the  freight  embargo,  causing  a 
temporary  shortage.  Then  these  began  to 
come  along  and  more  besides,  attracted  hy 
higher  quotations.  The  result  was  all 
sorts  of  prices  at  one  time  and  an  ex¬ 
treme  range  of  $1.10  to  $1.50  per  bu. 
Some  retailers  who  stocked  up  at  high 
levels  are  likely  to  see  losses.  Potatoes 
should  come  along  freely  now.  Green 
Mountains  will  Come  soon  and  the  < 'an¬ 
tral  Maine  counties  aro  expected  to  begin 
any  time.  On  the  other  hand,  the  crop  is 
considered  a  rather  light  oue,  and  there 
is  already  some  demand  for  Maine  pota¬ 
toes  to  shift.  West.  After  diggiug  time 
the  market  may  settle  on  a  higher  level. 
At  present,  first  hand  dealers  are  quoting 
$1.10  to  9*  .20  at  the  yards. 
While  this  is  no  apple  country,  those 
who  have  orchards  will  have  a  good  crop. 
Some  already  damaged  by  storms.  Oats 
very  light,  on  a  big  growth  of  straw — 
about  all  being  harvested  in  good  condi¬ 
tion.  Buckwheat  will  be  light  crop  and 
a  considerable  part  already  damaged  by 
hail  and  heavy  rains.  Wo  have  three 
acres  which  is  flat  on  ground.  Hay 
through  this  section  was  a  bumper  crop, 
the  greater  volume  being  cured  in  good 
condition.  F.  H. 
Galway.  X.  Y. 
Buckwheat  has  been  “blasted”  and  will 
be  plowed  under  on.  most  of  the  farms. 
Beans  are  looking  good;  we  expect  at 
least  an  average,  crop  of  yellow-eyes, 
white  and  red  kidney.  The  principal 
product  here  is  milk,  and  tho  farmers  are 
desperate,  owing  to  the  feed  going  up 
every  day,  and  the  price  of  milk  not 
keeping  pace  with  it.  An  ordinary  raise 
in  the  price  of  milk  will  not  satisfy  the 
producers.  Pastures  are  poor  now  and 
most  farmers  have,  not  the  money  to 
feed  their  stock  as  they  should  be  fed, 
and  iu  consequence  the  cows  are  show¬ 
ing  it  in  looks  and  in  the  milk  pail.
