Vermont Democracy serve as a noble
example of unflinching political integ-

had observed that some of the Repub-

devotion to principle, by holding up
the record of the inflexible. ever-coura-

now be in demand. But the 6,119 who

The Effect on oIeomarearine.

Under the new federal "oleo" law
artificial butter cannot be exported
from the country. except as marked
"adulterated" Now the outside mar
ket can better stand "strong" article
of butter than it can stand that word,
and the exporters of oleo are accord
ingly facing ruin to their business in
so far as they are obliged to conduct
it directly through Unites States ports.
Many of them are therefore seeking
a base of operations in Canada. Two
New York houses are mentioned which
have already made the change, and
others are likely to follow, unless the
law is moderated at the next session OF
Congress. The business amounts to
several million dollars year, the bulk
of the exports of this butter going
to South and Central America, and the
tropics generally.-[Springfield Repub

The Chance for Young Men.
Burlington News.

The young men of New Hampshire
have splendid opportunity before
them. The politics of the state has
too long been dominated by a ma
chine and by old men who are any
thing but constructive in their ideas
and methods. The young men be-
long in public life just as rightfully
as do the old men, and the sooner
they insist upon their rights the bet
ter it will be for New Hampshire,
now far behind the times in many
particulars, simply because of having
been held back by the old men, to
whom anything new, or change of
any kind, is distasteful. The young
men of every community owe it to
their communities and to themselves
as well that they should take an
active part in public affairs. If
they insist upon so doing, no political
boss or machine can by any pos
sibility hinder them.-[ Manchester

POTATO ROT.

The continued wet weather follow
ing the blight, is leading to serious
rotting of potatoes. The Vermont
experiment station is receiving so
many inquiries as to the matter, that
the following statements seem timely:
The late blight or rust" which has
been SO prevalent this year, is caused
by fungus, kind of mildew, which
is carried through the winter in the
seed potato and so far as known only
in this way. Where such infected po-
tatoes are planted the fungus develops
in the potato shoots and finally causes
the blight Of the leaves, providing
weather conditions are at all favor
able. The germs or spores are pro-
duced in enormous numbers on these
blighting leaves and by these the
infection is spread to neighboring
plants. Many of the spores fall to
the ground also, and invading the tub
ers, cause the rot. Spraying with
bordeaux mixture kills these spores,
and so prevents both the blight of the
leaves and the rot of the tubers. The
plants at the Experiment station farm,
which have been sprayed. are as green
and healthy now (Sept. 60 as they
were a month ago, whereas the rows
in the field left unsprayed are. dead
Many farmers throughout the state
have had equally good results from
spraying. Where the plants were
sprayed little rot is developing, but
in the unprotected fields where the
tops have blighted, rot is serious. The
question is being asked whether it is
better to dig at once in these fields.
The Experiment station officers ad-
wise prompt digging. They have not
decided this by experiments, however,
so are now carrying on some to settle
the matter. A half dozen fields have
been selected on different soils where
the vines are blighted. One-fourth of
the rows in each field were dug on
August %; one-fourth on Sept. 6; one
fourth will be dug Sept. 1S. and the
last fourth on Sept. 80. The condi-
lions as to total yield. amount of rot
and keeping qualities will then be COM
pared. Some other interesting ex-
perlments, upon potatoes, are also
under way. the results of which will
be published later. One of these is
to determine whether when the vines
make a very rank growth, it is bet
ter to cut them back. Another seeks
to find out whether spraying the soil
will tend to check the rot.
