SUCCESSFUL MUSTER
At Fort Ethan Allen Closed Last Fri
day.

Before Governor Stickney and his
official staff and a crowd that included
MANY prominent Nermonters, the
First regiment, Vermont National
Guard. passed in review Thursday
afternoon and made an unusually fine
showing. The review marked the
climax of a muster that has proved
remarkably tuccessful. Friday the
soldiers went back to their civil life.
The grand review took place at $3.50
o'clock and the appearance Of the regi-
ment won much favorable comment.
Following the review there was dress
parade. The sham battle which was to
have taken place in the morning was
omitted.
The annual rifle practice of the reg
iment took place Wednesday, the
range at Fort Ethan Allen having been
kindly offered by the post officer.
There was only detail from each
company in the practice. The high
est score made was that OF First Ser
geant w. Z. Willard. who made "a out
of possible 25 points at 800 yards.
The other two men with high scores in
company were Lieut.. f. Z. Woodbury.,
who made 20, and Lieut.. I. w. Tag
CART. who made 81.
The discipline of the camp was re-
markable and the general sanitary con-
ditions were apparently as perfect as
they could be made. In short, this
may well be pronounced the most
practical. most beneficial and in every
way the most satisfactory muster the
Vermont National Guard ever had.
Gov. Stickney presented service
medals to members of the regiment
who have served Is, 10 and 5 years.
There were three in the first class,
seven in the second and 81 in the
third.
There was considerable complaint
concerning the food under the new
arrangement by which it is provided
by the state and 80 cents per day de-
Quoted from the pay of the men. The
arrangement does not seem as salts
factory at the former when each lcom-
pany secured its own rations.
The annual reunion of the Ninth
Vermont Veterans association was
held at the camp Wednesday after
noon. 1t was voted to hold the next
meeting i'm Montpelier, at date to be
selected later. Col. ID. X. Andross OF
Bradford is the lite president of the
association.

BLIGHT ON POTATOES.
How TO Prevent Serious Injury to the
Crop.

Potato blight is threatening Ner-
mont fields. Unless proper measures
are promptly taken to meet this dis
ease there will be serious damage to
the crop. Professor Jones. botanist OF
the Vermont Experiment Station, has
been visiting potato fields and stands
back of this information.
The professor reports that he has
very recently found the first symptoms
Of the late blight. In no case was 1t
very far advanced. A few leaves on
each affected hill showed the brownish
black spots and when examined care
fnlly on the under eide each spot re-
veaied the delicate white mlldew
which is the cause OF the disease
Prompt application Of Bordeaux mix
tnre in such fields is the only thlng
that can prevent serious loss from
blight and rot.

whether his potatoes have the blight
