The number of farms and the total
acreage remain as during the past 80
years. But the percentage of improved
acreage has declined steadily since 1870
and abruptly i'm the past 10 years. This
shows an extensive giving over of cult
waited areas to pasturago, and indicates a
diversion of attention from cereal crops
to dairy farming.
The further statistics of the census
publication bear out this indication As
in most other states Of New England
there has been a notable development Of
the dairy industry at the expense of
cereal production. The production of
barley in the last census year amounted to
3S0,9io bushels, against 1870 761 bushels 10
years previously; of buckwheat 196, 90
bushels. against 27l.2l6: of oats 2742 $40
bushels against 3,3l61n of rye 81 $50
bushels. against 1926; and of wheat 34.-
$50 bushels. against 1920. The produce
tion Of corn was 1922 $50 bushels last CEN
sus year against LOO GSs bushels 10 years
before. on the other hand, changes in
live stock holdings on Vermont farms have
been as follows extending the record back
to 1850:

Improvement at BARRIERS Park.


Numerous improvements made at Bar
ber's park this spring make it of much
more advantage to people from Bellows
Falls and surrounding towns The rustic
theatre has been entirely rebuilt the
seating capacity nearly doubled. about
200 chairs having been placed in front of
the old benches. which are now pushed
a number of feet back, and a permanent
wooden roof placed over the entire build
ing. 1t now will compare favorably with
any theatre of like nature anywhere
around here. The refreshment stand.
which was burned last fall. has been re-
built nearer the theatre, and is now much
more commodious and better equipped.
Fuller & Farr, confectioners and drug
gists on the square. have taken the ex-
elusive privilege for the park, and having
put in a good soda fountain. are In shape
to meet any demands made upon them.
The Bellows Falls Gun club have moved
their buildings from Drislane's field to a
point about a half mile this side of the
park station, where a good station plat
form has been built for them by the road
While the brickmaking and the lumber
business cannot be counted as advantages
of the park from the point of view of the
ordinary citizen. still they bring just so
much more money into our section. The
clay for the bricks is obtained about a
half mile up the brook behind the park,
and the bricks are made, dried. and burn
ed just west of the saw mill. A large
number of bricks are already on the
racks and fires are to be started within
a few days under them. The saw-mill is
still running fun time cutting up the
large amount of lumber drawn in by
teams during the winter. It is understood
that the mill is to be moved out beyond
SaXtons River in the fall These i'm
provements, together with the more eff
cient handling of the passenger traffic
by the electric road, will do much to
make the park very popular the coming
summer. AS yet the weather has been
somewhat cool for this form of recrea =
ton, yet the Empire Stock company,
playing at the park this week has had
fair houses and has given universal sat
isfaction. Guy Brothers Minstrels have
an enga cement there next week One
suggestion that we would make to the
management of the park: 1t is under
| stood to have been one of Mr. Barber s
last wishes to have had the name, Bar
bers Park" placed on the bank near the
station in painted stones. In view of the
| fact that Mr.. Barber did so much for the
| park, it would seem only just to follow
| out one of his last wishes. 1t would
| certainly please Bellows Falls people
The ruin of the farm house burned last
winter, is not very prepossessing either.

Four Safe Blowers Frightened Away.

A very bold attempt at burglary was
made last Tuesday morning about 2
o'clock. when the Office of the electric
road, West Henry street, was broken
into by four men and the safe containing
about s75 partially forced open. Mrs. Levi
Towle, living across the street heard UNI
usual noises and looking out saw men
holding lighted matches in front of the
safe. She called her husband, and he,
in his excitement, dropped a window,
alarming the burglars, who departed up
Henry street at rapid gait. When
President Holton was notified and had
entered the office it was found that the
dial of the lock had been broken off,
leaving a hole all ready for the insertion
of dynamite. a few minutes more would
very probably have seen the safe wreck
ed and the funds gone. Efforts are being
made to capture the burglars, but not
sufficient evidence has yet been obtained
to warrant the arrest of anyone.
