Wslt Mason .;V1: THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1920 SOME POTATO FIGURES. Although Dschuus county prides itself on its potato crop it has still a long way to go to come up to the records made in other sections of j the country. On the other hand its ; production is ahead of the average . for the UniKd States. j These fuels" are brought out in the j report of a prire crop content con-1 .ti.AtAfl Vie nil ABulnm form inlirnnl ' the results of which have just been announced. Possibly a comparison is not air because irrigation farmers were not allowed to compete but the results and comparisons are never theless interesting. The 10 year average for potatoes produced in the United States is 96.8 bushels per acre. The Deschutes county average, according to Gus Stadig of the Potato Growers associa tion, is 133 bushels. The average for the state of Maine, where the three prize winners live, is 201 bushels. The prize winners, all res idents of Aroostook county, had yields df 530.6. 529.7 and 526.3 bushels, respectively. These figures were not obtained by estimating an acre yield on the basis of a small highly productive plot but are the average per acre yield of a five acre field. To make the comparison with local yields more satisfactory it would be very much worth while to jtnow how the cost and returns per - bushel varied between Aroostook and Deschutes. Commercial fertil izer In enormous quantities and cost ing $75 or more per acre is used in Maine 1n order to obtain these ' large yields. There Is also a consid erable, expense in cultivation and pro-1 tection against insect pests. The ! quality is no better than, if as good j as, that of Deschutes potatoes. Aimougn uescnutes still 'has long way to go in potato raising Rhej has already made tremendous strides. ! There's a little, thing in that t Roosevelt letter that should please : the students who had tags hung on ' them during the better English week ! last fall. Speaking of the Italian king Mr. Roosevelt wrote, "He asked us Mrs. Roosevelt and I to drive .' out with him and the Queen, etc." j It Is surprising that the editor of the j letterB let that "I" go by. Surprising and at the same time faithful editing for which he is to be congratulated. Listening to "Fish Stories." Norwegian i'lshiriniu are using a species of submarine telephone to aid them In their work. A microphone if lowered from a fishing bout and con nected by a wire to: a telephone In the boat. The fisherman listens at the instrument and when the flsh hold a meeting the listening device records the disturbance. Srlenilflr American. Newly Painted Windows.,- To prevent newly-painted windows from sticking, open and run them up and down two or three times a day for three or four days. Unless this Is done the windows are almost bound to stick. Always paint tbem as early as possible In the day so as to give them a chance to dry before you fast en them at night. Of Indian Origin.

Always Something If one is bound to have the blues, and grumble like the deuce, then every blooming thing he views will do for an excuse. Where'er he looks he faces wrong and misery and strife ; oh, something always comes along to take the joy from life. He has a small attack of flu, and it has knocked him flat; he stands around and says, "Kerchoo !" and stronger words than that. He tells his woes to other cranks in voice of doleful pitch, and doesn't give a word of thanks that he is spared the itch. The day is dismal, and he brays, and tears his hair and robe, and he forgets the pleasant days when sunshine soaked the globe. He sadly wails the same old song, or 'plays it on a fife: "There's always some thing comes along to take the joy from life." And when one views the world like this, lie is a hopeless case; he wouldn't know a slice of bliss if pushed against his face. A ton of grief upon this hick is most securely cinched, and he would make some kind of kick if he were being lynched.
