vermont, Its Fertile Farms and Sum-

Vermont, Its Fertile Farms and Sum-
mer Homes is the title of handsome
pamphlet of more than hundred pages
which has just been issued by the Yer
mont Board of Agriculture. The parise
worthy object of this pamphlet, with it's
many full page half tone views of Ver-
mOnts scenery, mountain, lake and
farm, and its many pages descriptive of
to secure the attention of pleasure seek
ers to the State as a desirable summer re-
sort, There is also tabulated list of
hotels, summer homes and resorts in
Vermont with information as to location,
proDrietors, prices, accommodations,
conveyances and other matters of inter
est to tourists. A list of desirable farms
is also given, together with the location
of few unoccupied farms that would
make desirable summer homes. The
scenery and natural resources of Ver-
mont cannot be excelled and too great
efforts cannot be made, either by the
Board of Agriculture, or by individuals
to attract attention to our advantages.
Vermont needs advertising. Nature has
dealt literally with her in the grandeur
of her scenery and the abundance of her
resources and those who seek such adj
vantages as she can offer, should be made
to know where to find them. The Board
of Agriculture has issued several pre-
vious publications, notably Vermont,
A Glimpse of its Scenery and Industries"
prepared for distribution at the World S
Fair. These publications have done
much towards drawing attention to Yer
mont and these efforts should be given a
hearty welcome.
