From A. W. Edwards, Jeffersonville, Vt.
Sowed 5000 lbs. on 10 acres of very
poor, badly run out land. Used no ma

and there were several bushels wasted
by a severe storm just before harvest.
Think the use of salt gives more grain
and better quality. Gives good results
on dry land.
From First Selectman, A. G. Davis,

Sowed half ton of your salt on two
acres of ground. Ground not in good
condition. Had raised two crops be-
fore on same land with very little ma
nure. Result, good crop of oats, and
the oats weighed more than 80 lbs. to
the bushel. Think salt good for dry,
light soil. Shall use more next season.
From w. S. Newcomb, Eden, Vt.
Used it on oats. Made straw sitter
and brighter and less liable to lodge
and rust and the grain heavier. The

Keeps the ground moist and insures q

From j. w. West, No. Hyde Park, VT.
Results very good. Think it the
cheapest fertilizer | can get on most
dry soils. Shall use more of it this
year.
From S. W. Newton, No. Hyde Park, VT.
Spread one ton of salt on four acres
and sOWed to oats, all of it steep side
hill, upon which have never known any
manure to be drawn. Had sowed some
two acres to oats for three successive
years and obtained more last year
where | used salt than in the three pre-
viOus years altogether. 1t is much
cheaper and results as good, if not bet
ter, than fertilizers for small grains
and OH dry or sandy soil.
From Z. NJ Davis, Johnson, vt.

acres of land last season and received
as good oats as | did when | used Is
loads of manure to the acre. Shall use

From A. l.. Jennings, Wolcott, vt.
Have used the salt for killing paint
brush. It'has always killed wherever
used for that purpose.

with satisfactory results. Shall use it
in the future and recommend others to

From John Duffy, Pleasant Valley, vt.
Bought car load last year for my
self and other farmers. We found it
cheap, No. l fertilizer. Have never
yet heard where it did not give perfect
satisfaction.
From d. c. Melvin, Greensboro, Vt.
Used salt mixed with my sheep ma
nure to keep from heating. BY using
a peck of salt to load it would prevent
heating and l think makes the manure
better.
From II. F. Hayford, Eden, Vt.
Am fully convinced that as fertili-
ger for oats it is the best and cheapest
in the market. Used 500 lbs. to the
acre in place of manure with good re-
suits.
From Geo. Courser, Johnson, vt.

but failure on my potatoes. Think

From II. E. Kneeland, Johnson, vt.
Used salt in 1913 on various crops
with good results, but best results to
oat crop. Turned over several acres
of worn out grass land and sowed it at
the rate of 400 lbs per acre with no
other fertilizer, also used it on oat stub
BILE of previous sowing, and in both
cases as good results were obtained as
when used barn manure. Think it
the cheapest fertilizer for the money
invested that | have used. Intend to
use more the coming season.
From Mrs. Ella A. Quad, Johnson, Vt.
Have used your salt for the last five
years with very good success. Last
year used salt, ashes and lime on oats
and new stocked land, also salt alone
on potatoes. Think it just right for
dry land. Intend to use more next
year than last.
From VIM. Reavey, Johnson, VT.
Used a ton of your salt last year on
oats, grass, buckwheat and fodder corn.
Results good on all except buckwheat.

The New York Banks Refuse to Relieve
the Drain Upon the Treasury.

New YORK, June 19.-The presidents
of the leading banks of New York City
met at the Union Trust Company at 8
o'clock this afternoon to discuss the
question of supplying gold for export.
The treasury gold has run down to 500,
9S4. 446, the lowest point since the bond
sale. The banks have concluded to
come to the assistance of the govern
ment in the matter.
Among those present we're President
Williams, of the Chemical; King, of
the Union Trust; Wright, of the Park
National Happen, of the Gallatin Ives,
of the Western National; Clark, of the
American Exchange; Carter, of the
Bank of the Republic; Fahenstock, of

Fourth National; Baker, of the Man
haitian; Cannon, of the Chase National !;
Sherman, of the Bank of Commerce,
and Perkins, of the Bank of America.
George g.. Williams, President of
the Chemical National Bank, presided
at the meeting. He took a serious
view of the situation. He said that if
the gold reserve in the treasury we're
allowed to fall too low-to $50, 600, 600,
for instance-analarm might be created
which would be followed by serious
consequences. He said many manu-,
facturers e carrying On business at
a loss, believing it would be cheaper in
the end to do so than to shut down
and lose trade.
The proposition that the banks fur
niGh gold pro rata to exporters was op.
posed and withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, D. O., June 19.-Sev-
eral dispatches have recently appeared
in the Western press, detailing the
movements of a certain Miss Pollard,
who was supposed to be Identical with
the one who lately obtained a judgment
against Col. Breckenridge. The follow
ing from Cleveland, Ohio, explains the
identity of the young lady who was
mistaken for the heroine of the some
what celebrated litigation: "The Miss
Pollard that came down from Duluth
on the City of Duluth and Badger
State, arriving at Cleveland yesterday,
was not the one of breach of promise
fame, but a Miss MYra A. Pollard, an
artist of Chicago, who is travelling to

Inquiries here have developed the
fact that Miss Madeline Pollard is still
living in the northwest section of the
city, at the same place to which she
removed from Providence Hospital.
She was out this afternoon for a ride
on the cable cars.

noon off Partridge Point, during q

The iceberg being low and fiat, three
persons managed to Chamber on it. The
remainder sank. The latter included
eight men, two women, and two boys.
The r consisted of twenty-seven
men, nine women, and seven children,
and but for the accessibility of the ice
berg, none of them would have been

Arrangements are being made to get
them home. Nothing was saved, ex-
