WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.


Fine W Conditions and Splendid
Advancement for the Week.
The weather during the week ending
the 18th has been exceptionally fine for
farm operations and generally favorable
to vegetable growth. -Four clear days,
on an average, have furnished abundant
sunshine, and with slight exceptions the
showers during the latter part of the
period have maintained the soil in season.
able condition for growing crops and
for cultivation.
Crops, generally speaking. are in god
condition, and in some localities are
luXuriant. With abundant sunshine and
temperature near the seasonal average,
together with a fair amount of precipit-
alton in he most acceptable form, light
showers, the conditions have heen favor
able for the rapid advancement of all
vegetation. In the more northcrly local
tiles crops were receiving the first hoeing
while in the southern states this process
has, in many Instances, been completed.
Bugs, beetles, worms, and crop pests
generally, are increasing and becoming
more or less numerous. However. up to
the present writing no serious or general
injury has resulted to crops.
The having season is practically at
hand. Taking the district rs a whole,
the prospect is very favorable to an
average crop and an excellent quality of
hay. In portions of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, generally
of small area, grass is light and the out
look is unfavorable, but otherwise a
satisfactory crop is assured.
Winter grain continues i'm good con-
dition; cereals generally promise good
crops. In northern sections corn is
being hOed, while in southern states it
has received the first cultivation. There
is little complaint of injury from rust or
insects, and with a continuation of favor
able weather good crops are certain.
Excepting peaches. the yield of which
will he light. conditions could hardly be
more favorable to a plCntecus crop of
fruit. especially apples. Pears will be
plentiful, plums a fair supply, and
berries of all kinds give prospect of a
bountiful supply of the first quality.
Caterpil!ars are doing some damage,
while in sections ''leaf-roll" is iniuring
apples, but these are exceptions to the
general condition.
Vegetables remain in a promising con-
dition. Potato beetles are plentiful. but,
so far as reported, have wrought no
serious damage. Reports are very favor
able to truck farms and gardens. which
promise large yields of all kinds of
vegetables.

Fight WIN Rnrrlnrs.

John W. Peck of Montpelier had a
seance with burglars one night recently.
About 10 o'clock, when Mr.. Peek was
about to retire, he was attracted by a
noise on the metal roof of his piazza.
Upon investigating the cause he found a
man had gained the roof by means of a
ladder which had been left there by
painters, and the man was in the act of
entering a window on the second floor.
Mr.. Peek secured his shot gun and
started out for the invader. He got
within a few feet of the man before the
latter discovered his presence, and as the
intruder started to escape Mr.. Peck
attempted to fire on him, but the gun
would not go of. The reason was plain.
In his haste, Mr.. Peck had loaded the
gun, which was a center-flre, with a rim
fire cartridge. The man made good his
escape.

Young cssavists ana orators
Attention nov engage
As proudly they are posing on
The centre of the stage.
They used to solve deep problems which
Had long perplexed the wise,
But there has been q sweeping change
That ALL us with surprise.
The sweet girl graduate appears,
Iiut swecter than before,
For she is not the fragile thing
We saw in days of yore.
The flush of health Is on her face,
And rounded is her form,
! For in athletics she has found
The way to greater charm.
Her essay, as before, Is with
\ pretty ribbon bound,
Bnt we are nc more overwhelmed
With wisdom too profound.
Her theme is ORA WIN from daily life,
Perhaps it's "Making Bread"
For she has learned to cook and bake,
And in her class stands head.
The bold boy graduate is seen,
But stronger than before,
For he can run ana box and SWIM,
And he can pun an oar.
He's also i'm the base ball team,
a batter widely known,
And often on the foot bal field
HIS pro Sess he has hOwu.
With eve greater confidence
Upon the stage he stands.
And by his How Of cloqucnce
Attention ne commands.
No more ne scars above the heads
OF those who anne to hear,
For ne has found "a fitting theme
And makes his meaning clear.

Attacked 10y a wild Animal.

Arthur Chickering Of East Westmore-
land has a valuable yeariing steer that
was recently badly mutilated by some
wild animal and is not likely to live.
The steers face, checks and tongue were
so badly bitten that he cannot take food,
and nourishment has TO be- supplied in
liquid form. ON the animals neck and
shoulders are long, deep scratches from
heavy claws, indicating that the assailant
must have been some large animal of the
cat tribe, possibly a lynx. The steer
was pastured IN a wild piece of woodland,
a part of some - square miles in which
there are few dwellings, bounded by
West Hill, East Westmoreland and
Chesterfield, and in which lynxes and
wild eats are sometimes seen. The
character of the wounds indicate that
they could not have been inflicted by a
bear.

First white child Born in Bethel.

An item in one of the state papers that
Miss Lois Smith. a native of Bethel. had
entered st. Luke's Home in New York,
recalls the fact that Miss Smiths ances-
tors played stirring parts in life's drama
as enacted in the days of the early set
Element of the White River valley. Miss
Smith Is the daughter of Asa Smith, the
first white child born in Bethel. Ben
iamin Smith and Lois Chase Smith, his
wife, came from Cornish, n. H., to
Bethel in the summer of 1850 and
settled on the farm now owned by
Squire Bowen. When they reached
Bethel there was no road further, but
they pushed on towards Randolph, fol-
lowing the river, and when they reached
the "Smith farm they located on the
meadow and Mr.. Smith built a log house
near the river. At that time there were
no families living between him and
Bethel village. In Septembr of that
wear Dudley Chase of Cornish became
alarmed for the safety of his daughter,
Mrs. Smith, on account of the Indian in
roads then prevalent and came to Bethel
with the intention of removing her to
Cornish. On the day after his arrival
Asa Smith was born. As sOon as Mrs.
Smith was able to be moved she was
taken to the Bethel village and was
there when Royalton was burned in the
latter part of September, 17S0. As soon
as the alarm occasioned by that event
had subsidized, Mrs. Smith took her babe
in her arms and mounting her horse rode

song, that "Uncle Sam is rich enough to
give us all a farm" This condition is
true in a considerable degree to this day,
although the country has three times as
many inhabitants now as it had at the
time when these words were first heard.
The public lands are still far from beng
exhausted. The quantity, the fertility
and the ~cheapness of the lands in the
United States, coupled with the freedom
from oppression and the opportunity for
every one to carve out his own destiny in
his own way, was the chief consideration
which impelled immigrants to come TO
this country when the conditions in their
own land were no longer bearable. Mil
lions of acres of public lands still remain
In the United States, and other millions
of acres can be obtained at low figures.
Nearly all the states west of the Missls-
sippi and some of those east of the river
have lands which can be got so cheaplv
as to be an attraction for settlers from
all over the world. In the list of immi-
grants landing on the shores of the Unit
ed States are some from almost every
country in the world, though the two lit
tie republics of South Africa have con-
tributed but slightly to the total. a
change in this particular is likely to take
place now. a large part of the next
great trek of Beers from the Orange Free
State and the Transvaal will undoubtedly
be to the Western states of the American
Republic.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Il BOERs AS AMERICAN IMMIGRANTS.
There are indications that the close of
the war in South Africa will witness Il
considera le immigration from that re-
gion TO the United States. Report has it
that one of the objects of the BOcr COM
mlsSioners in coming to this country was
to meet some of the officials connected
with the immigration societies and learn
the opportunities offered for the settle
ment of large numbers Of their race in
some of the Western states or territories.
One of the 8Oer agents denies this report,
but il has been learned that some Of the
railroad companies have been making
propositions TO the commissioners look
ing to the settlement of considerable
numbers Of their c%Ountrymen in the
West. This particular commissioner cX-
pressed himself as favorably impressed
with the friendliness of the Americans
toward his people, and thinks highly Of
the advantages which would be Afforded
to them if they should locate in the Unit
ed States, though he says that most of
them will remain at home and live under
the British flag.
But whether the majority of the Beers
remain in their own land under the Brit
ish domination or not, it is reasonably
certain that many of them will be found
among the annual influx of immigrants
to this country hereafter. Thus far they
have not figured with any prominence
among the alien arrivals in this country,
but a change In this respect is reasonably
certain to take place from this tine on
ward. 1t was estimated that the number
of immigrants to the United States be,
tween the treaty of peace in 1883 and the
year 1920, when statistics on this point
began to be collected for the first time,
was $50 1000. At that particular time the
number of alien arrivals was small, being
less than 10000 in 1920, although the
number was much greater in some pre-
vious years of the century, before exact
figures were collected. The failure OF
the potato crop In Ireland in 1916, how
ever, and the rebellions in many of the
countries of Europe in lSlS.9, including
Austria, Prussia and some of the other
German states. as well as in Ireland and
Hungary, sent the volume of immigrants
to the United States up to high figures,
over Is, 600, 900 immigrants have arrived
in this country since 1920, two-thirds of
them since 1850.

NhTATORIUM OPENED
Bank Clerks and Fifty Little Boys
Have the First SWIM


The new natatorium was formally
opened yesterday afternoon at four
O'Clock when the employees of the
three banks accepted an invitation to
take the frat swim. At o'clock about

After the concert in the plaza last
night several of the young men head

very fee exhibitions of fancy and
high dives.
The natatorium will be thrown open
to the public today and will no dou BIT

and people all week.
The pool is IS by 35 feet and when

water is furnished from the FL Paso
