Peach Crop Good Wheat
Crop Poor.

While Eastern Shore peach growers
say that the long. cold winter has been
blessing in disguise. wheat growers
are insisting that their interests have
suffered 4 prominent Kent county
peach grower said: 1.-The outlook for a
peach crop is very satisfactory up to this
date. and growers in our county were
hopeful that the recent cold spell would
hold out for some time tn come. A con.
tinuation of low temperatures would re-
suit in preventing the delicate fruit buds
from swelling. and consequently lessen
the chances of their being killed.
1.-The long cold spell has kept the sap
of the trees from starting. and it would
take some days of even this kind of
weather to force the buds TO the danger
point.
This is a time of danger, for the
peach. and fruit growers have reason to
fear warm weather at this season. Or
chards are reported in excellent condi-
ton, and the trees are well set with
fruit buds.
On the other hand, wheat growers
give glowing reports Of the outlook from
the farmers standpoint. An Eastern
Shoreman said Tuesday:
Our farmers. AS a rnlc. say that the
outlook for wheat crop is poor. The
older farmers declare that cold winter
adds To the productiveness of the soil,
but as against this. IT Is contended that
Kent county farmers We're late in pitch
ing their crops last fall. Thus the wheat
plants failed to get good root holds. and
when the general thaw comes the grow
ing crop will be Thrown OUT and bad
ly injured.

Last October the three eastern

but the promise Was cynically dis

say nothing of the Peking govern

sented and evasive replies were
made To request for fresh assur-
nncss, Russia seized new points
and made clear her intention to
hold the country by military
force. Hence the present war.
which in the short space of one
year, has shown that Russias in

I'm THE TEETH OF THE BRIGADE
Once more the Badger-Hoosier bri-
gade was swinging away southwest
ward. For the sixth time in less than
year the men Of the BLACK Hats"
at the head Of column had picked their
way over the stone-ribbed pike, saying
Opprobious things OF Virginia path
masters. An impudent lot were these
fellows in the imitation 'Kossuths.
Marvelously snappy and precise in
drill, steady on parade, enduring on
the march and reasonably respectful
toward their officers (who were the
only ones in the division to don and
habitually wear the fulldress headgear
OF the regular Service), the rank ano
file were blessed with not a little
soldier SkeptlciSm as to the value or
stability of other commands in and out
of the brigade, and calmly critical
attitude toward officers other than
those of their selection. They had not
been over we'll content with their
original field and staff, and, for lack of
leaders of that rank, had become some
what split up at first Bull Run, fight
ing sturdily all the same by company
or squad to the flag end, and never
knowing they were whipped when
finally "herded" of the field. Now,
however, they had men at their head
colonel, lieutenant-coloneI and major
by whom they positively swore and
on whose skill and valor they would
have banked their last cent Yet, with
all their regard for these, their hon
ored leaders, it must be owned the
Black Hats gave them lots of trouble.
They would guy the rest Of the brigade
and lord it generally over the whole
division, only one other regiment Of
which had as yet faced the foe in
battle. They had a curious defect of
vision when Outside" officers happened
along, and were forever being COM
planned of as failing to render honors,"
whereat they were heard on more than
one occasion unblushingly to declare
they saw, but didn't suppose the strang-
ers could be officers. They were pre-
ternaturally keen sighted as sentries
toward men of other regiments run
ming guard" or smuggling contraband
/ of war, and were correspondingly blind
when the cufprit was of their own
complexion. They were probably the
best drilled and positively the worst
hated regiment in the whole division
and relished one distinction quite
as much as the other-when they were
marching this third time on Manassas,

Our Vermont State Expenses.
Treasurer Bacon and Auditor Graham Give Interesting Figures
ofVemons
Benefit Of Vermont Taxpayers Why We Have No State Tax

he is obliged to advertise is taken into
consideration.
One of the products Of the brain of this
agent deals with the burden of state ex-
penses as distributed among families in
Vermont, According to this agent the va
rious families in the state paid the small
sum of s3.76la each for state expenses in
the sunny year of 1882, while in the dark
and gloomy year of 1908 each and every
family paid s1O.52 2-3 for the same pur-
pose.
The agent reckons on the basis of four
and ninetenths persons for every fam
lily in the state SO far as the RepubIi-
cans are concerned there is no desire to
mutilate the families of the state either
physically or statistically and for the pur-
pose in view five persons will be counted
an average Vermont family computed on
the census figures Of the census preceding
the date.
We have not examined the figures in
the Democratic agents statement con-
corning this alleged great family burden
and the increase therein. but it may be
presumed they are right-from the
agents standpoint. What we desire to
call the voters attention to are some sim
pie statistics which the agent apparently
overlooked in his search, but which he
cannot deny the accuracy Of
To more fully show the trend Of the Re-
publican administration of Vermont af-
fairs we will go back to the biennial term
ending in 1872 and demonstrate how the
burden of state expenses has been re-
moved from the people until now not

Simply a Campaign Lie

To the Editor of The Phoenix:
Dear Sir: My attention has been called
to an item in the Democratic columns Of
the Vermont papers in which the follow
ing is stated
when Mr.. Mandigo of Bellows
Falls went to the Vermont Farm Ma
chine company to order butter-print
for friend. he was informed that the
price was so. Ordering it shipped to
Derby Line and mentioning that the
friend was in Canada, he was told
that if he could guarantee that it was
to go into Canada he could have it at
the price they sold in Canada, ST."
There is no truth in the above state
ment We have no butter printers priced
at 80, never had any such, and our prices
in Canada are the same as in the United
States. That statement is in keeping
with a good many other statements In
the Democratic columns and there is nc
shadow of truth in it,
Very truly,
THE VERMONT FARM MACHINE co
