Garden Notes from New England 
The Potato Situation. —Potato grow¬ 
ers in Maine have had to take their losses 
along with manufacturers. In spite of 
the fact that the crop last year was about 
3,000.000 bushels less than in 1911), the 
price was too low to show much profit. 
This was due in part to a good crop in 
New York State and also in the St. John 
Valley, where the potato acreage is con¬ 
stantly being increased, and which has 
good shipping facilities by water to Bos¬ 
ton and New York. It has been found 
by the Canadian growers that they can 
deliver potatoes at the two points men¬ 
tioned much cheaper than can the growers 
of Aroostook County. This is true, for 
that matter, as regards Nova Scotia, 
where potatoes are being grown in in¬ 
creasing numbers every season. It is not 
strange that the potato growers of New 
England, therefore, are keen to have Con¬ 
gress put a tariff on potatoes which will 
even up prices. They feel that while 
manufacturers are bound to get protec¬ 
tion under the new deal, they should not 
be entirely overlooked. Aroostook Coun¬ 
ty now has a crop close to 25.000.000 
bushels, a crop which means much finan¬ 
cially, not only to Maine, but to all New 
England, because Maine money is spent 
freely for the products .of the manufac¬ 
turing centers. 
Cutting Timber. —“When the day of 
big wages is over we will have plenty 
of help again,” is the remark which has 
frequently been heard at any gathering 
of farmers the past year or two. Now 
that shops and factories are shutting 
down, this prophecy ought to he fulfilled. 
Yet apparently the rush back to the 
farms is not nearly as great as had been 
anticipated in some quarters. The spell 
of high wages is still being felt, but it is 
bound to be broken, and .of course, the 
labor market is much easier even on the 
farms than it was a year ago. Never¬ 
theless, there is a great chance for im¬ 
provement in this respect. 
One result of the present conditions 
has been the tendency to do more work 
in the woods. Probably more cutting 
will be done than ever under the stimulus 
of war-time necessity, for coal is still ab¬ 
normally high, and there is a constant 
demand for wood. The box factories, too* 
are buying, because they feel that busi¬ 
ness is bound to start up again before 
long 
T recently nticed a rule of thumb for 
estimating pine lots, which seems worth 
remembering. Tt runs as follows: 
“Fure pine stands on the best quality 
sites will run 1.000 board feet per acre 
for every year of their age between the 
ages of 50 and 75 years. For second 
quality Kites. subtract 13.000 from the 
figures on first-quality sites. On the 
poorest sites pine grows about 26.000 feet 
per acre per year less than on the best.” 
Storing Dahlias. — A request has 
come in from a reader of this column 
about the best way to store Dahlias after 
the clumps have been divided. Of course, 
the amateur leaves these clumps until 
Spring, but the man who is growing the 
tubers for market must begin cutting 
early in the season. The man who writes 
to mo has four tons of roots aud expects 
to do all the work of dividing them him¬ 
self. which means that he must get busy 
right away. The plan followed by J. K. 
Alexander, of Bridgewater, who is one of 
the biggest growers in the East, is to 
pack the cut tubers in boxes of uniform 
size. The boxes are filled evenly to the 
top and then stacked one upon another. 
In this way the air is excluded to a large 
extent so that the tubers do not drv out. 
No sand or any other covering i« used. 
Tt is important, though, that the tem¬ 
perature he kept between 40 and 50 de¬ 
grees, although it may drop a little lower 
or go a little higher at times without 
harm. Tt is necessary, however, to keep 
the temperature well above the freezing 
point, and low enough so that the tubers 
will not dry out; Several million roots 
are handled on the Alexander place by 
this method, and the loss is very small.
