This Negro crew came to Maine all the way from Florida. lit tiimnim i.ir Mam lit.

Juinmt a i EVERY MEAL IS AS HEARTY AS A THANKSGIVING DINNER Part of the crew of Kentucky mountaineers harvesting the 60 acres on the Bragdon farm. These husky pickers are paid 13 cents a bushel and all they want to eat. They work at least 10 hours a day and need not worry at all about calories. The Kentuckians were enjoying the work. "It's a chance to make some money and to see the United States, too." they told us.

"The girls are the best pickers," we were told and we asked for particulars. "I picked up 52 barrels yesterday," 20-year-old Clara Patrick told us. That's $6.76 a day-all clear." "And I picked up as much," said Goldie Alger, aged 21. it Bv WILLIAM H. CLARK PRESQUE ISLE, Sept.

23 Centered on the dinner table is a great platter mounded high with slices of roast lamb, pounds of it. Scattered around are bowls of mashed potato, plates of sliced white bread an inch thick, platters of green beans, dishes of unrationed "country" butter. On a side table, waiting, are several golden brown deep dish apple pies, pots of fragrant coffee and pitchers of yellow cream. It looks like Thanksgiving. despite the reluctance of the Canadian Government 1100 Canadians came across the line to work, offi- Picking up 52 barrels is a day's cially.

Then there are crews of work. You take a bushel basket and follow the digger down your particular row. You can take your 1 50,000 Race Against Frost But he was unable to hire any help. In two weeks a frost may choice of picking up the spuds usually first shakingthem free from year we have some 60,000,000 bushels to dig but the weather has been Krand and we've a flying start. With luck, we'll harvest every spud safely." The potato growers organizations saw the labor shortage corning and enlisted the United States Extension Service's help.

Recruiting trains were sent down into Kentucky, for example, and 1370 mountaineers have already arrived and more may come. The Canadian border was opened last week for eight days, and Negroes from Jamaica and from Florida and from New Jersey. And in addition, the Army was solicited and some 1500 German prisoners of war were enlisted to pick up the spuds. They do the work voluntarily and you can see them working although you mustn't talk to them. There's a guard with each crew to see that you don't.

Three Bushels, One Barrel Each bushel weighs 60 pounds and it takes three bushels to fill Extension Service has recruited 1370 mountaineers and brought them a barrel. And to fill 50 barrels a day you have to pick up 150 bushels and that's about 9000 pounds! G. C. Stone, executive secretary of the Maine Potato Growers and gang of 75 Negroes from Florida. "And theyare splendid workers, too." he said.

"I'll pay them about $5000 for the two weeks work. They cover about 16-17 acres a day, taking about 100 barrels or more an acre. I pay them 20 cents a barrel, but that includes loading on the trucks. I couldn't get my potatoes in any other way. There's no labor here to do the job." The Negro crew is from Oneida, Fla.

They are directed by their own foreman, Ira Tossi. who makes all the arrangements with Cleaves and manages his crew of 25 men and 50 women and children. Cleaves supplies them with a house, with beds and bedding but they find their own food and do their own cooking. It's a perfect setup. Cleaves thinks, "I hope I can get them again next year.

I slap the potatoes in my storage houses and sort them during the Winter and ship to market as late as July." "We are mobilized to get in the potatoes," Mr. Stone told us. "Schools are closed and nearly everyone is out in th efields. At least 50,000 men, women and children are at work for it's a race from the middle of September, when the crop is ripe, until the first frost. "Last year 7,000.000 bushels were lost because we could not get them out of the ground soon enough.

And in 15 minutes that table is bare. Those diners were hungry. They had been working since six in the morning and they are to work until six at night.

It's potato harvest time here in Aroostook County and 50,000 workers are deep in the annual race against the first hard frost. You could multiply this noon scene by more than 1000 for there are at least that many potato farms in this center of spud production. This particular farm is that of Milo Bragdon at West-field. He has 60 acres of potatoes being harvested and expects some 20.000 bushels. Until a few days ago he was a mighty worried man.

He has one cf the best crops in years. The spuds are of extra good quality this season; the drought has produced solid, dry and clean tubers. around. From the Bragdon larm we went to the Cleaves farm so we could see a "really bie out of the ground and leaves them satisfactory and less messy to pick the fruit off as to pull up the whole vine and hang it up.

Four great trucks were busy picking up the filled barrels and 75 men, women By PAUL W. DEMPSEY Assistant Professor of Agriculture, Massachusetts State College, and Director of Boston Globe Victory Garden The keeping of vegetables and fruits for any length of time after harvest is not easy. The reason for this is the fact that these are living organisms and must be kept at a certain temperature and humidity, to remain in good shining yellow in the sunshine. Picking up is hand work; no machine can do it. You could tell how pleased he and his wife were at the arrangement.

"They saved the crop," he told us as Mrs. Bragdon bustled and children were picking up after the tractor-pulled digger which dug two rows at a time. Al Cleaves was standing about just keeping an eye on things. "This around, filling coffee cups, whipping more potatoes, slicing loaf after loaf of her home-baked bread and cutting pie after pie into generous slabs. is a grand he said and explained that he had hired a 4500 Gardens Represented in Victory Harvest Show By EARL BANNER Indisputable proof that it takes more than record-' breaking extremes in weather to discourage or lick a Yankee Victory gardener is offered in Horticultural Hall; today as Boston's third annual Victory Harvest Show opens, there at 1 p.

Harvest just before the first frost and spread out to dry off in a warm, well-ventilated place. A dry garage or shed floor is good.

Some Suggestions Tender crops that must be har-; vested before a heavy frost: Peppers. Pick fruits just before frost and store in a cool, fairly moist place. Wrap each one up in newspaper for longer storage.

Fruits should keep for several weeks. Potatoes. Potato tubers are seldom Injured by frost ns they are well protected by the soil. The tops, however, are usually dead by frost time, so it is well to get the potatoes dug and stored. After digging leave them in the sun and wind for an hour or so, to dry tha soil that may cling to them and to harden up the skin a bit.

Then store in a box, bn or bin in a dark, cool, fairly moist place. Squash and rumpkln.Maturity of these vegetables can only be determined by testing the skin with the thumnail.

You will also observe if you watch one move about that it leaves a silvery path of mucus behind it. This mucus is thick and heavy and is used as a protection against dryness, a condition which no slug can stand very long. On the right hand side of the slug's body you may notice a rather large and almost round hole.

This is the entrance to the breathing organs. Another hole, located behind the base of one of the upper tentacles, is the reproductive organ by which the animal deposits its eggs. Slugs remain for the most part in deeply shaded, damp places where they may be found beneath boards and rocks, except on damp evenings when they come out in search of food, which is almost entirely of vegetable matter. Like most snails these are also scavengers-on dead animals, especially upon earthworms, which are a delicacy to them. Upon the approach of cold weather, they excavate a nest-like hollow, curl their bodies into a ball, and then secrete a kind of cocoon of slime in which they sleep until the weather again becomes suitable for them to venture forth.
