UNCLE SAM DEPENDENT FOR
BREAD.

Those residents Of Vermont who heard
Secretary Wilson in the course of his
series of speeches in this State during
the last gubcrnatoral campaign know
that he has an intensely practical turn
Of mind and that he is not at all in
clined to he visionary. When. therefore.
he looks ahead 10 a time when the United
States may become dependent upon other
countries for bread, unless present meth
DDS of wheat growing are radically
changed, 1t can be taken for granted that
he sees good grounds for his predictions.
The secretary of the agricultural de-
pertinent is alarmed by the fact that
whereas our population is increasing with
mar, elous rapidity our wheat lands are
showing discourasng degree OF UNI
produc.ivcness fle calls attention t"
tho fact that our great wheat fields along
our northern border are refusing 20 Grow
wheat and he predicts that with the
continuance of existing conditions there
will be Il material increase in the price
Of brcadstufs.
For time the farmers of the North
west believed they had solved the prob
lem of renewing wheat lands by allow
ing their fields to lie fallow for one year
and growing IA crop Of wheat every other
year While some Improvement has UNI
doubttdly resulted from the adoption of
this course in some cases. the remedy
has been only partial At present the
average production of wheat to the acre
is only eight bushels, whereas in Europe

Secretary Wilson finds ground for spc-

consuming wheat at the rate of six to

In the death Of Arthur Ropes of the
Montpelier journal Vermont loses one Of
Its ablest and best known newspaper men.
He welded a vigorous as well as facile
pen, and he had an editorial style of writ
ing which was peculiarly his own. He
was never so much at home as when en-
gagged in the discussion Of some contro-
vcrted point. and his resourcefulness and
trenchant writing combined to make him
no mean antagonist. Mr.. Ropes was thor
ouGhly devoted to the promotion of the
manifold interests of Vermont and ne
was ever ready to use the columns of his
papers for the advocacy of worthy
cause. During the latter years of his life
nc laborcd under the disadvantage of
continued i'll health, but his ndomtabc
will enabled him to overcome obstacles
which to many people would have proven
insurmountablc; and up to the very last
his interest in his newspaper work was
unabated. He viii be missed from the
ranks of Vermont journalists and it viii
not he an easy matter to I'LL his place.

The democratic contemporary. having

ton to It's own satisfaction. proceeds to
make it as easy az possible for him to ac-
oept q renomina ion logically and AT the

temporary half suspects the President Is

sweep him into another term and il ex-
poets the wave of popularity to be irresist-

vention. He will he renominntcd and re-

So far as the statement Of the World
in relation to Roosevclts popularity and
the futility of opposition from divided

| it must be admitted that there is a large
element of truth in what 1t says. At the

different acts relating to forestry the
pamphlet contains the new regulations
prepared by the commissioner as well

the protection Of forest lands from fires.
The regulations formulated by the COM

time of planting a declaration of his in

Commissioner Hitchcock lays special
stress upon the danger of forest fires
which in a short time can wipe out the
work OF years, and he has accordingly
devoted considerable space in the PAM
phlct to directions how to guard against
fire in woodland. Every owner of tract
of forest or woodland should have copies
of these regulations and directions, which
jcan be secured from the commissioner.
1t is to be hoped that a considerable
number of landowners in different parts
of the State may decide to take advant-
