THE Massachusetts, State Board of
Agriculture is taking substantially the
same course in advertising the unoccu-
pied farms of that state as the Vermont
board has taken. In accordance with
an act of the legislature, which appro-
PIRATES $4,000 for the purpose, circulars
were sent to the town assessors, asking
for the names of the owners of unoccu-
pied farms, and when the names and
addresses had been obtained, second
lot of circulars, calling for specific in
formation, was sent out. The result of
these inquiries will be made known in
October, and in the meantime the Sec
rotary of the board is receiving letters
from all quarters asking for informa-
ton. Many of these letters come from
New York business men, who are evil
IDENTITY looking for country houses.
The policy of Vermont is thus being
amply indicated.

A CONVENTION of members of the
Farmers Alliance of several southwest
ern states was held at st. Louis last
week for the purpose of protesting
against the sub-treasury and land loan
schemes. The delegates declared their
loyal allegiance to the Alliance, but they
signified their strenuous opposition to
being bound by any resolution that
would infringe upon their individual
political rights. The opposition TO the
two schemes referred to is evidently
very formidable, even in the Alliance,
and there is not the slightest possibil-
ity that serious effort will be made at
present to put them into the shape of
laws. Aside from these two PROPOSE
tons, however, the Alliance is pretty
well united, and just now there are no
signs of disintegration. Circulars were
sent out recently by the leaders Of the
organization urging members to hold
their wheat until prices went up. 1t is
reported that these circulars have had
little effect, and of course the refusal of
the members to act on the suggestion of
their leaders may be regarded as sig
niicant. But it will be we'll not to
attach too much Importance to this fact.
Although the farmers sold their wheat
contrary to orders, they were urged to it
by sheer necessity in many cases. In
strictly political matters they are likely to
be found in harmony with their leaders
The high prices for crops will probably
not break up the organization, but they
will undoubtedly weaken it.

AT the Rutland county fair last week
was an exhibit by d. 7. Elz of Men
don, and in the middle of it was card
which said that the articles exhibited
were raised upon an abandoned
farm" The exhibit was examined
more carefully, perhaps, than any other
at the fair. There were twenty-five
varieties Of potatoes, several varieties
of wheat, oats, barley, rye and beans,
onions, pumpkins, squashes, melons,
beets, carrots and turnips. 1t was such
display, the report says, as might be
made by carefully-attended farm,
with all the advantages of cultivation.
Mr.. Etz is sturdy, self.reliant man of
middle age, who apparently takes a
keen delight in farming and is proud of
what he has done with his "aban-
doned farm" He was kept busy ex-
planning how he produced such results.

plants are large and healthy, and every
one Of them will bloom as soon as set
out. Although Mr.. Hayden has a large

made by Henry Van Zuelen, whose wife

rant charges Simpson with collecting
money when he knew the concern was
unable to pay the claims against it and
was practically bankrupt.
