The caulifower is a difficult vegeta
BILE to grow with us. OF fifty planted
we will only get few good heads. In
ferior seed and too much hot weather
during the growing season seem to be
the cause. One needs the moist, cool
climate of England to produce this
vegetable at its best.

While the corn acreage has greatly
increased this year the cotton acre
age has decreased. Statistics secured
go to show that there has been de-
crease of 2 % per cent in the area
planted to cotton this year from last
year. But nevertheless, according
to early Indications, there will be a
good crop this year, the present con-
dition showing an increase of 104
points compared with last year.
With big crops of corn in the West
and big crops of cotton in the South
it looks as though prosperity would
be found doing business at the same
old stand for some little time to
come.

1t is said that the new city ordinance
passed at Montpelier which forbids
the sale of two per cent beer after 1
o'clock at night and all day Sunday
will undoubtedly meet with opposi-
ton when it goes into effect next
Sunday. Some of the restaurant
keepers who will be obliged to close
at eleven according to the ordinance
say they shall not, inasmuch as they
believe the ordinance is discriminat-
ing and unconstitutional. They claim
that two per cent beer stands on the
same footing in the eyes of the law
as does soda water and that if they
are to be prohibited from selling soft
drinks, the drug stores should not be
allowed to sell soda water.

Reports concerning the seventeen
year locusts are conflicting. From
most points where they have ap-
peared come reports that they are
doing very little damage, but out in
Indiana it is said that they have al
ready proved most destructive. But
in all probability these visitors who
infict their presence on us only once
in seventeen years will do decidedly
less damage than the elm tree beetle,
the gypsy moth and other pests that
are always with us. 1t is the locust's
strange habit of keeping tab on the
calendar and not his destructive
power that makes him conspicuous.
