The following comes from Bellows
Falls: The hay crop now being bar
vested in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire averages hardly two.thirds crop,
and there are prospects of the price be-
ing materially higher, caused by dry
weather early in the spring. Hill farms
suffer most.
Many Connecticut river meadow
farms are giving more than the usual
yield, particularly where overAowed
by the freshet in April. Curiously,
instead of the disaster anticipated from
the flood, the result is thousands Of
dollars benefit in the enrichment of the
soil. In many meadow where sand
was deposited from two to six inches
deep, and which were supposed to be
ruined, grass and even clover is com.
ing through luxuriantly, 50 that some
say that they may get a double yield
to that of last year.
Corn averages the best for many

China Gives Up 100000 Francs as In

WASHINGTON, Aug 3l.-State de-

sionary riots at Szechuan is due to the
fact that France decided to prosecute
her claim alone and independent

Great Britain. The French had
large property interests in that
section, and the sum agreed upon
is considered as entirely reasonable
compensation for the loss sustained.
The authorities here are satisfied with
the progress making in the settlement
of the claims of this country and of
England, which are being pressed joint

reached in those negotiations where
the amount Of indemnity could be sug'
