Storm Damages Maine Potatoes

I-IOULTON. Me., Aug. l—(A.P)|- Reports of potato crop losses mounted today in the wake of s tornado-like hail and wind storm that raked parts of rich Aroosfnok County. leaving the tree-littere"! Canadian border town of Fort Kent without telephone service. -

There were no reports of cas- ualtios.

Unofficial estimates of damage to the half grown potato plants. based on claims already made to insurance companies, exceeded $350,000. Insurance men predicted the total would be two to three times higher.

The half hour "twister" yester- day apparently followed the St. John River. Canadian as well as American towns on the border

stream were hit. F
