On one side is New York, on the other
is New Hampshire, and why not have
New Vermont? How shall we make
new Vermont? Nearly all of the land in
Vermont was fertile when the forests
were cleared away but the rains of the
last seventy years have washed away
much of the fertility from the steep hill
sides, so that they are no longer product
i've. Let this land be planted with trees
and the old forests be gradually cleared
away and many worn out farms may
produce good crops as they did when the
early settlers entered the state.
Fifty years ago the rich prairie land of
the west could be bought for 81 rs per
acre, but now that land, with the build
ings, is worth from SIS to 500 per acre
and in one of the dairy counties of Wis
consin, farms are selling for Sis per
acre while land is very cheap1n Vermont.
Under these circumstances would it not
be well to improve the farms there and
keep your young men and money at
home
Why do boys dislike the farm? There
are many reasons but one of them is too
much hard work. We raise FIVE acres of
corn with less work than Vermonter
puts upon one acre. Cannot Vermont
boys learn some of our western ways
What Vermont needs is revival and
the boys should be told some of the
advantages Vermont has over western
states. You can never compete with us
in producing grain, beef or pork but in
specialties you can beat us.
To simplify matters the town clerk in
dozen towns could appoint commit
tee in each school district to find out
whether people will attend meeting in
each town for one afternoon and even
ing for the purpose of discussing the
agricultural situation in the state and
how to bring up boys so they. will
like the farm. Cannot the crops on
many farms be doubled within the next
ten years? What will encourage boys
| more than to get some reward for their
labor?
You may think we have no poor land
uCIC, OuL IudL IS d mistake. LII one
instance IS acres, worn out by raising
grain, was restored in IL years so that
it produced IS bushels of ears of corn to
the acre where only rs grew before.
Why can you not do the same? I would
like to visit the state from which have
! been so long absent and it is-among the
possibilities that I could, late in the
season, attend dozen farmers meetings
if they wish to hold them.
