Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Agriculture of Maine: Tenth Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Maine, 1911
Though the season was not favorable, as we had a very light rain-fall for the year, the crops did remarkably well.
Potatoes. Our potato cr0p takes the lead, and with a short crop in other parts of the country, the farmers received a good price for their potatoes. Nearly bushels of potatoes were grown in this State the past year, including those con sumed in the State. The average price was over per bushel, thus giving over for the potato crop alone. There was a great demand for potatoes for seed as well as for commercial uses, and our potatoes are used for seed in many parts of the United States, and are considered the best seed that can be planted, thereby giving many of our farmers an advanced price for seed potatoes.
