The Addison County fair association
has every reason to congratulate itself
upon the successful four days meeting
held this year. Despite three days of
most unpropitious weather the society
came out winner financially while the
fair in itself was one of the best ever
held in Vermont. Cooperation made
the event success. The county news
papers gave space literally to exploiting
the fair and the result was record
breaking attendance.

There is not a cotton mill in New
England, a cotton planter in the South.
or a merchant on the Pacific coast whose
interests are not directly affected by the
action of China. The perturbations of
that mighty empire are felt by every
household in America, and it will not be
long before the interests at stake will
attract the attention of every intelligent
American citizen. Many things are
going on in the far East of which the
results will soon be as notable and stu
pendous as those which are now mani
fest in Japan. Many thousands of
Chinese and Hindu students are Hooking
TO the japanese universities to learn the
secret of this wonderful unwilling of
power in the empire of the Rising Sun.
Every American in China is now under
suspicion and this nation of merchants,
who match even the Jews in their ability
TO transact business for profit, will soon
have something to say to which the
American people will be compelled to

While it is true that New England
industries are interested in obtaining
their share of Chinese patronage it would

Condition Of Crops.

Crop conditions at the present writing
are fully as favorable as those obtaining
at the last report. Corn has advanced
with the season, and unless abnormal
conditions arise within the next ten days
a fair crop is assured. Corn made good
progress during the past week, under
not the most favorable conditions, and
although some reports of killing frosts
were received, no damage to corn was
reported from any portion of the section.
Much corn is being shocked and indi-
cations are very favorable for good
yields. Late-sown corn for fodder is
making excellent growth and assures an
abundant crop. All ensilage crops are
promising, and silos are being filled
throughout New England. Corn for
canning purposes continues to be mar
keted, but is getting rather too large;
late-planted fields, however, are produc-
ing corn in prime condition. Buckwheat
continues to give every indication of a
fine crop.
No decided change has occurred in
the fruit situation since the last report
was issued. High winds caused much
fruit to fall, particularly apples in coast
portions of the section. Peaches and
pears are ripening and will be good crops
Grapes are not maturing as rapidly as
desired, but prospects remain good
Apples will be very poor crop.
Some damage to squashes and pump
kins by frosts of the 14th and 25th was
reported, principally in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, but results
were not serious. Owing to the con
tinued wet condition of the ground TO
the past three weeks, considerable rot
ting of potatoes has taken place and tn
reports of this nature are so numerou
that the total damage from this sourc
will be considerable. Onions, to a Ger
tain extent, have suffered from the sam
cause. Cabbages and celery give ever,
promise of fine crops.

Vermont Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreets for the week
from granite and slate districts show
orders coming in well. The granite
quarries are fully employed and the slate
mills are fairly well supplied with orders
for finished slate although the demand
for roofing materials still runs light.
From agricultural districts reports are
received that the farmer has had losses
by reason of rains damaging crops of
corn and potatoes. Railroad travel the
past week has been heavy. The demand
for fall clothing has been good and sales
in this line are reported brisk.

The county fairs are about over and
the farmer can go through the mass of
advertising literature he has accumu-
lated at the various cattle shows he has
attended. Advertising distributed at IA
county fair is a paying proposition. 1t
is carried home by the farmer and care
fully read in the majority of cases with
the result that many an order for a
cream separator or agricultural imple-
ment is placed.

The October McClure's is devoted pecu-
liarly to American life and activities.
Not story in it, nor a special article, but
concerns the real and immediate things
that move this country at large. Pastor
Charles Wagner, the French clergyman
author of THE Simple Life" writes of
his visit at the White House, and with
simple directness tells of the children and
the household life of the President as he
saw them. He writes an interesting and
important estimate of President Roose-
welt as man.
Not the least interesting feature of the
magazine is the editorial announcement
of a great historical series, to begin in
November, Carl Schurz's "Reminences
of Long Life" and Ray Stannard
Bakers investigation of the Railroad
Problem, of which publication will begin
before Congress meets.
