This German war has outdone the Colorado potato beetle as price raiser That brought vividly to my mind the time when the Colorado on its eastward migration first reached the old squires farm in Maine Farmers said to one another lliat the days of raising potatoes worn past Paris green London purple hup death ami other insect poisons had not yet come into use There seem ed little use in planting a crop if a few weeks later the pest would devour the young shoots The price of potatoes soon rose from Fifty cents a bushel the us ual price to two dollars Al our old farm in Maine the only way we could think of to escape the pest was to plant our potatoes at some remote clear ing in the wilderness from any other farm We hoped that the pest would not cross wide tracts of woods At one of the old squires forest lots that bor dered I upper course of Sur veys Stream there was a sunny opening where the forest fire had burned off the growth and left a plot of two or three acres of brown alluvial loam It bore grass and we had stacked hay here for the logging camps We decided thai thai opening seven miles away in the woods might he safe for a crop of potatoes The drawback to cultivating the land that it was so very in accessible There was no road to it and on account of inter vening gullies swamps ami brooks we could not build one without heavy In win ter of course we could travel Oil ice of the stream bor dered opening The plan that we finally hit upon was to load a har row and seed potatoes 12 bushels in a bateau such as the Maine lumbermen use on rivers and to pole craft upstream In opening The span of horses for ploughing we led there singly and unharnessed through the woods Farmers usually allow from seven ten bushels of seed po tatoes to an acre but by cutting off the seed ends of Ihe potatoes before and leaving the bulls at home we managed to make twelve bushels serve for seeding about two and a half acres The land ploughed easily for it was loose new loam line soil for potatoes no fertil izer and We had no weeds to contend the seeds of barn grass nettle dork and other nox ious had not yd round their way to I hat little sylvan nook Working there was a

Into a Creek The iar turned over Ma slightest chill turns potato starch to sugar and gives the tubers an unpleasant sweetish taste when cooked We would have waited until April hut it was necessary to haul them down the stream on the ice and the ice would not hold much longer Feb ruary there had been a winter road on the stream and it ap peared still safe The nearest railway station was fourteen miles away The old squire had reserved for fourth of March two box cars that had stoves in them and it necessary to have the po tatoes there on that day he hired four teamsters with their teams We reckoned a hundred bushels was a sled load for a span of horses and so with our own two teams were prepared to- carry the load At that time potatoes were gen erally shipped in burlap sacks in stead of barrels each sack held a bushel ami a half The old squire had bought four hundred of those sacks On the second day of March we opened the pit in the sandy bank beside the stream The potatoes bad kept wen only a few of them had rotted Wo started at three oclock that morning and by eight oclock the Six loads were on their way down the stream The old squire sent them off one after the other with a distance of a hundred yds or more between them in order not to bring too great weight on the ice at any one place Keep apart he told the team- j Dont drive close up one behind another If the head team stops you must all stop and wait till it starts on But when they were about three miles on heir way at a point where the stream turns round a woodeil bluff the forward team broke a whiffletree and without signalling back the driver stop ped to patch it up Unmindful of the old squires orders those kept on closing up as they came round the bend until all six teams were not far apart As the drivers pottered with the broken whiffletree they noticed that water was gushing up on the ice and before they could either back their teams or start on the ice slowly sank down under them and left their loads in three feet of icy water A great commotion ensued while the men shouted and lashed their horses in an attempt to pull out The ice cracked and settled lower still Fortunately the stream was only a few feet deep there or the horses would have been drowned and the loads lost The ice kept settling until it rested on the bottom and there all were the horses up- to their sides in water the drivers wading about and the sleds more than half submerged At that moment the old squire Addison and came Up We had stayed behind to close up the pit in order to keep the rest of the potatoes from freezing We got the horses out and then with a long warping line tried to pull the loads out on the firmer ice below A bitter wind had risen and we were all of us soon wet to our waists It was a crowd that toiled for hours that day to save those po tatoes At last about sunset we got the last of the six loads on In ice close to the bank when III woods bordered the stream ihe old squire who was pret ty thoroughly chilled was about ready I if give up We may as well drop and go home he said be en weather before morning Ill esc potatoes will freeze here in spile of all we can do If we go on theyll freeze on the way Dont you suppose sir thai we might build a lire close by the sleds and perhaps keep them from freezing Addison sug gested I read that a man in Honda saved orange orchard I hat way Addison referred to one of the accounts published of at tempts to ward off a frost by kindling in open Im afraid it will he here before Han it ever is in Florida the old squire re plied And more than half the sacks are wet Hut we might save part Maybe the old squire said douhl fully Well you can try We ran least dry our feet by the lire There were axes Willi the sleds and there were plenty of fir trees soft wood at hand with pitchy branches and houghs that make a hot fire Within five minutes after the word was given trees were crashing down and tll0 branches being lopped off We drew the sleds up close together piled the green houghs on the bank to the windward of them and made great piles of them where I lie heat would he wafted over loads of sacks When was lighted the blaze streamed up In the gathering dusk and a mighty crackling resounded far and wide Cold as the night was growing the heat to the leeward of the sleds was intense The wet sacks were soon steaming visibly The old squire however was still doubtful about the success of the plan its hot enough now he said youll have to keep this up If you lei the fires go down for even half an hour the potatoes will freeze You will have lo work all night boys Well we will said Addison resolutely Hut youll need food before and these teams must be looked to and fed THE MENS STORE J i Remarkable Values in the 9 Immense Spring

lo he gather ed up in baskets Not a buy had found it- way there When we dug up they lay mi veritable windrow- across the flat seven hundred bushels of least The question then arose a Uueslion io which wevhad given thought thus far how we were to transport all of those po tatoes through the woods At that season of the year it was vir tually impossible VVo realized that not until Surveys Stream froze could we get them home or to market Meanwhile what could we do with In Maine after the first of October freezing nights are likely lo oc cur at any lime I he old came up and looked I lie situation

kind of cavern In the dry earth and covered in the entire crop lies with houghs and then with earth shovelled down from the lop of hank for twenty bushels thai we drew borne oil sleds in De cember Up whole crop lay there unlit the first week ill March when the old squire con- traeieil deliver six hundred bushels in Portland at two dollars a bushel Moving potatoes in winter weather is always a ticklish bus iness since potatoes freeze even more readily than apples and After some discussion the two hired men the old squire went to the farm with the horses to feed and to bring back some supper As the evening drew on the wind died away and we kindled several fires on the other side of the sleds At Addisons sug gestion loo we covered the loads with boughs so that the hot air from the fires would he held in the interstices of the twigs About midnight or later the old squire and one of men returned with horse and pung They brought some food from home kept warm by hot bricks wrapped in blankets Finding that the potatoes were not freezing the old squire look heart a little and worked as hard as any of us It was indeed a Stiff light with the cold an un remitting battle that lasted all night long felling trees lopping off the branches and dragging forward to renew the- fires At daylight the squire sent ami me and Ihe hired man home to bring more food ami In teams The weather had moderated somewhat but he us collect- every blanket and coverlet that the old farm house could muslcr and bring back wilh We returned with a miscellan eous assortment of household gear including old coats clonks rag carpets and two disused beds We covered the potatoes wilh them and shortly before eleven oclock made a sec ond Ilius protected and lucked in so to speak the pota toes safely made ihe journey to the railway station Once we got them aboard the cars the stoves our worry ceased The old squire Went Port- laud by train the ncl morning to attend himself to the delivery of the consignment He received Ihe amount that had been agreed upon two dollars a bushel but total sum was one hun dred dollars less than he had ex pected in spile of our forts about fifty bushels of potatoes at the bottom of loads had frozen Afterwards loo one of dealers told the squire that one or two of his cus tomers had remarked that those potatoes seemed have an odd faint sou smell hat they could not account for The dealer latigtitcd heartily when the old squire told him bow those pota toes got to market For two seasons hereafter we raised potatoes that opening in the woods and their the bugs found them My that time how ever Pari green had begun to be used and we were able to check the ravages of the potato beetle Youths Companion SIX DAYS IN THE BIG TENT BECAUSE OF ITS PREMIER POSITION
