OLGOMARGARINE AND SUGARBOl'N
TY

The TWO bills upon which Gen. Grout
particularly bases his claim of transcend
cnt service to the State of Vermont and
for the passage of which he Processes to
be largely responsible are what is known
as the olcomarsarine Bill and the Msple
Sugar Bounty, These Two measures may
be examined as IA fair illustration of the
position which he occupies
The Oleomargarine Bill was enacted by
the 10Th Congress. Previous to that time
"a States and Terrt ories had passed laws
upon this subject The matter had there
fore, been pretty generally agitatcd be-
fore Congress took any action. In this
Congress Gen, Grout introduced bil! up
ON that subject. Many other bills
were also introduced by different
persons from different States. These
bills were finally referred to The
committee on agriculture, Of which
Hatch of Missouri was chairman
They were all reported adversely with the
exception Of one introduced by Scott q
Erie, For this the committee reported a
substitute bill which finally became a law.
When this substitute bill was under dis
cusslon in tho House some seventy differ
ent members spoke upon it. OF these Gen.
Grout was one. Appleton's Cycopedia, to
which reference has already been made,
i'm speaking of the passage OF the bill and
naming those persons who were prominent
i'm securing its passage does not mention
Nj Grout. Now. undoubtedly y Gen. Grout
labourod earnestly for the passage of this
law. Amy representative from Vermont
would have done so. That he was not re-

PHENOMENAL WHEAT YIELDS.
"While Hall Neck" Was Especially Favored
With Large Crops.

The wheat crop of James York near
Leipsic, was stated last week at 40
bushels per acre. The amount of heat
yield was right, but the acreage was
wrong. While his drill made it 81
acres, former tenants said there were
sixty acres, which he said would make
it 80 bushels per acre instead of 40.
John P. Garrison, living on the op-
posite side of the road, had one field
nearly as heavy yield, 332 bushels
per acre. The ''White Hall'' farmers
were all more than pleased at their
large yield.
A. S. 'Nhittock, on the Hangman's
Branch farm of Jas. p. Hoffecker near
Odessa, had 94a bushels on an average
from 95 acres, aud one field yielding 40
bushels per acre.
