Whattodo with vacant Farms.

New Hampshire has been struggling in a
commendabe manner to solve the vacant
farm problem, as has Vermont, and crafty
ing progress is reported by Hon. n. j.
Bachclder, State commissioner of agrcul-
turo and immigration. The commissioner
says that since the establishment of n State
immigration department about $50 vacant
farms in New Hampshire have been reoc-
cuped mainly by Americans for summer
homes, while the summon boarding business
has been largely increased and ho looks for
still moro satisfactory results the coming
season. he commissioner has just issued
in pamphlet form a revised list OF about
1000 farms with vacant buildings for s,l9
in New Hampshire. In all casec the de
scriptons were furnished by the owners and
accompanied 10y sworn affidavit saying
that the statements made were according to
their best knowledge and belief true, whilc
Inquiries OF a general nature, or in regard
to the advantages of any particular locality,
receive prompt attention mt the Office Of the
commissioner ut Concord. Commission err
Bachelor In his official capacity has also
issued an interesting and artistic work en-
titled Lakes and summer resorts in New
Hampshire, - advertising tho attractions Of
that state for summer visitors
- Vermont has no commissioner Of agricul-
ture and immigration, thanks TO the econ
omical turn OF mind Of the last Legislature 3,
SO that the ad yertising of vacant farms can
not very well be done by the State, but
private enterprise promises to accomplish
l. -, i; l.; ,l
would naturally be done by commissioner
AS has already been stated in these columns
the management of the Central Vermont
road has decided to boom Vermont as q
summer resort by advertising in all the
large cities summer hotels, boarding
houses and family homes among the beauti-
ful green hills of Vermont This is COM
mendable work and one that will rebound
to the honor of the Genital Vermont
and at the same time largely increase
| its business. When this work is thoroughly
accomplished and the States manufacture
| ing interests have received their proper de-
velopment the vacant farm problem will be
| found to have worked out its own solution.
| This result may not be reached so soon in
| this way alone it would with the add
| tonal efforts OF a commissioner to aid in
the work, but the crop of summer visitors Ii
sure to make Vermont blossom as the rose.
