The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1902-11-28

With the price of everything 60
ing up, what are the newspapers of
Vermont going to do; what ought
they to do? Most of them are send
ing out greatly improved papers,
larger, better printed, in every way,
more costly, and yet the subscription
price remains the same as 20 or even
so years ago. Advertising methods
have changed wonderfully. Twenty
years ago the advertiser in the small
community never thought of chang
once a month or perhaps once quar-
ter. Now many advertisers think
they must change weekly. While
ads 20 years ago contained but little
matter, now they call for hours of
composition. All these changes
may be for the good of the advertis
er, but what about the newspaper?
Advertising rates in many instances
remain the same as 20 or 30 years
ago and if the publisher should ad-
vance the rates to meet existing con-
ditions no doubt some advertisers
would think they were being pinch
ed. This is where publisher is a
a decided disadvantage. Everything
that enters into the cost of produc-
ing the paper may increase, the re-
tai1ers in all lines advance their pric-
es to meet market conditions, yet
the prices on advertising space re-
mains stationary. OF course this is
not only poor business, but it is like
wise unjust What will the news
papers of Vermont do about it?

Experiments With Insecticides.

Three series of experiments have
been made during the season of 1902
with the purpose of comparing Bug
Death, Paris green and Arsenate of
lead as insecticides as measured by
the readiness with which they kill
the potato beetle and particularly,
the yield per acre. One set of these
experiments IS plots) was made by
the Danforth Chemical Company at
Caribou; another ~ plots) by the
Maine Experiment Station at Houl-
ton; and another (9 plots) by Mr.. e.
A. Rogers at Brunswick. The Carl
bou experiment was also under the
care of Mr.. Rogers. The insecti-
cides were used in conjunction with
Bordeaux mixture; the plots being
sprayed five times. The details of
the experiments will appear in bull
letin of the Maine Experiment Sta
ton to be published as soon as the
analyses of the potatoes are complet-
ed. The average yield per acre of
merchantable potatoes from the plots
in the experiments are given here
without discussion.

Vermont has recently received
some valuable historical papers
which ought never to have been out
of her possession. These are the
papers of the surveyor generals of
Vermont, made between some date
considerably before 1879 and 1888.
At the latter date the office was
abolished but the matter of the GUS
tody of the papers was inexcusably
overlooked. They were gathered up
by shrewd resident, probably after
the death of the last surveyor, and
sold to the state in 1849. Later they
were found to be missing and were
not discovered until about nine
years ago, when they were found to
be in the New York State Library
at Albany, they having been bought
by that state from alleged heirs of
the man who sold them to the State
of Vermont. New York paid $50 for
these papers At the last session of
Vermont Legislature a joint resolu-
ton was passed, authorizing their
purchase from the New York author
tiles, These fficia1s, under the lead
of Me1vil Dewey, one of the direc-
tors of the library, took the broad
ground, that as they were official
papers of sister state, they should
be returned without delay. An ar
rangement was made whereby Ger
tain papers belonging to New York,
held partly by Vermont and partly
by individuals should be exchanged
for the surveyors documents. To
do this required the purchase of sew
eral volumes of valuable records held
by individuals, and Hon. H. A.
Huse, a prominent Vermonter, furn-
ished the money for the purpose.
Since, after all these years and
many travels, the surveyors docu-
ments have been bound in thirtY-siX
volumes and by special Legislative
act, they have been placed in the
custody of the State.
Boys, and pretty old boys, too,
will be sorry to learn that George
Alfred Henty is dead. In his seven
ty years of life his experience was
varied, he had been an officer of the
English War Department, a Red
Cross worker, mining engineer, a
war correspondent and a writer of
books. In this last field his work
was prodigious, his versatility, no
doubt, being due in no small meas
ure to the knowledge he had picked
up in his various occupations. The
quality of his books was so :. evenly
excellent that Henty book has be-
come synonym for any form of
stimulating and wholesome reading
for the young. He did not write
literature and probably did not aim
to, but his fertility and imagina
ton enabled him to do more than
any writer of his day and generation
to offset the banefu1 influence of
the trash of the dime novel type
that is doing so much to corrupt
young readers. Henty got and
maintained his hold because he real
lied that boys wanted books in
which something happened. advenr
lures by sea and land, the exploits
of famous men and tales of pirates
and hidden treasures, but in cater
ing to his readers, he taught them
history in a palatable disguise and
the principles of true manhood. AT
present the Henty standard is
unique.

Lieut.. Gen. Sir John Stokes, who
died in England the first of the week
did a great service for his country in
his time. He not only advocated
British control of the Suez Canal,
but he was one of the most effective
agents employed in carrying out
"the dea1'' that made Great Britain
mistress of the short cut to the East.
He was a famous engineer officer,
and in that capacity was long asso-
ciated with the Suez Canal company
after it became a British controlled
corporation.

Guiding the new additions, have
been repapered inside and pant
ed on. the exterior and new chairs
have been added together with
sufficient new lights.
A lot for the purpose of build
ing a parsonage has been secur-
ed, and plans are now under way
looking to the erection of par
sonage in the near future.
$4,000 in subscription was Sc
cured, in addition to the $1,000
previously subscribed. Thus it
can be said that our Methodist
brethren have every reason to
feel good, and look to the future
growth of the mbership as
very encouraging.
