In  Central  Maine  the  dry  rot  has  af¬ 
fected  most  every  potato  crop  and  de¬ 
creased  the  yield  front  one  to  75  per  cent. 
Some  growers  report  potatoes  under  the 
average  size,  while  others  report  normal 
if  not  above  the  average.  The  reports 
show  very  uneven  crops,  Aroostook  re¬ 
ports  some  unusually  heavy  yields,  while 
the  total  is  below  normal;  not  much  rot 
there.  Aroostook  prices  $2  to  $2.10  per 
bid.,  2%  bii.,  while  prices  here  are  80c.

This  season  will  hardly  pass  into  his¬ 
tory  as  a  profitable  one  for  Kane  Co. 
(Northern  Illinois)  farmers.  Heavy 
rai'ns  and  cold  weather  prevented  early 
seeding  and  the  two  months  of  excessive 
drought  in  July  and  August  followed  by 
early  frosts  capped  the  climax.  The  hay 
crop  was  fairly  good  and  hay  is  selling 
around  $12  to  $14  per  ton.  Oats  medium 
eron  and  yield,  but  inferior  quality.  Corn 
hardly  50  per  cent,  average  yield  and  poor 
quality.  Potatoes  scarce,  both  early  and 
late,  and  prices  ruling  high;  no  one  Pitt¬ 
ing  Maine  potatoes  at  45  to  50c.  a  peck. 
All  vegetables  and  fruit  are  away  up  in 
price  on  retail  market;  looks  its  if  the 
farmer  was  getting  more  than  25c.  out 
of  the  dollar  this  year.  The  dairy  inter¬ 
ests  predominate  here.  Kane  County 
makes  and  ships  much  milk  to  Bordens 
(local),  and  other  factories,  condenseries, 
etc. ;  also  to  Chicago  small  dealers.  Prices 
for  milk  have  been  fixed  after  consider¬ 
able  frietion,  at  $2  per  hundred,  and  a 
little  better,  for  ensuing  six  months;  re¬

Milk,  hay,  cabbage,  potatoes  and  buck¬ 
wheat  are  the  chief  products  marketed  by 
the  farmers  of  litis  vicinity.  The  milk 
situation  is  at  a  deadlock  here  the  same 
as  in  most  dairy  sections;  only  one  dairy¬ 
man,  producing  less  than  two  cans,  is 
drawing  his  milk  to  the  shipping  station. 
Early  hist  week  buyers  were  offering  85c. 
for  potatoes,  but  later  in  the  week  prices 
advanced  to  00c.,  05c. ,  $1,  and  on  Oct.  7 
the  price  was  $1.05  per  bu.  Market 
opened  Oct.  0  at  $1.10.  The  crop  is  un¬ 
even,  some  growers  reporting  a  fairly 
good  yield,  while  others  it  near  failure. 
Hood  quality  Timothy  hay  is  moving 
slowly  at  $10.  Early  cabbage  is  selling 
at  $35  per  ton,  and  buyers  are  offering 
$20  for  late  varieties.  Buckwheat  is 
nearly  n  failure,  due  to  the  hot  dry  weath¬ 
er.  Some  apples  are  being  picked,  but  as 
yet  there  seems  to  be  no  market  for  them.

Farmers  in  Clinton  Co.  have  their  crops 
all  harvested  except  potatoes,  which  will 
lie  finished  in  a  few  days.  Potatoes  are  a 
light  crop;  the  average  report  is  about 
100  to  125  bu.  per  acre,  but  the  stock  is 
of  excellent  quality  and  brings  $1  per  bu. 
at  shipping  stations.  Cows  are  shrinking 
in  their  milk  flow  and  are  lining  fed  at 
the  barns.  All  kinds  of  stock  very  .scarce, 
and  high  prices  prevail.  Pork,  9*4  to 
10c.  per  11).;  veals,  10c.;  beef.  tic.  per  lb.
