A. B. Majestic of Brookhaven, and B. Lofland of Holtsville, were the lucky winners of the free aeroplane rides at Suffolk Airport Sunday. Chances For Relief From j Drought Slight * (Continued from ra g e 1) group have a set philosophy or outlook, “To begin with, they are in curable optimists at planting time, hoping and assuming that all things will work together for good to him who plants. Once the seed is planted, he becomes a pessi mist, imagining the worst In every heavy rain which may bleach out his fertilizer or cause his seed to rot, and In every dry spell which may result in poor stand or re tarded condition of growth. And then at harvest time he attributes his good or bad crop to seed, fer tilizer, weather, blight. Insects, and so on, and later becomes a cheerful liar as he exaggerates all his yields. “This outlook leads to a con dition under which there can be no average year but that every year must have some outstanding conditions and qualifications. “To Illustrate: last year was a wet year, because we had a wet July. This year is a dry year, yet there has been more rainfall since potatoes were planted than last year. But July has been relative ly dry. As a matter of fact both these seasons were quite similar during the last part of April, all of May, and the first part of June, but that receives scant attention. “All of which brings us to the present condition. On all sides we hear that crops are severely dam aged by dry weather and this is no doubt true In many areas. However east of Mattituck on the north shore the yield seems to be at least equal to an average of the last five years—all of which were years of good crop—and the size and quality is, if anything, more superior. As one watches the potatoes going over the grad ers and talks with the farmers, it is quite evident that there are many 300-bushel acres of very fine sized potatoes, and, consid ering the price, all are very well pleased. “This much for the cobblers. The Green Mountains are still in the growing stage and at the pres ent time no statement can be made as to the probable crop. It rests with God and the weather. But if we don’t get a rain this week the yield will be light, and sadly enough the moon and the tide are both wrong this week. It looks very bad.” CLASSIFIED AD FOR SALE FARM MACHINERY POTATO DIGGERS, slightly used, completely overhauled. Power takeoff and two-horse. FANNING & HOUSNER. Riverhead 2013.
