pnprn.ARrzING FARMING.

secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
ia. TO believe that the abandoned
farms Of New England and New York
win DO reclaimed and that the land will
be made TO produce crops as before.
He promises It through scientific farm
ing, aided By the government. To this
end a soil survey is necessary. to in
form the people what kind Of crops are
best adapted to particular sections In
closing his address to the convention
held in Syracuse, n. Y, to consider the
question Of abandoned farms. he said:
~The lands we are discussing are here
at your doors, whiting hearing Of factory
whistles and school bells, within sight Of
colleges and church spires, and only
need intelligent management to return
paying harvests.s This conference has
gone far toward reviving interest in
farming and in restoring confidence in
tne chance Of a good living in the farms
Of the east. Now with judicious and
more liberal advertising, these waste
lands should find ready purchasers.

A number Of newspapers have recent
~ taken a fall out Of G. j. Ferguson.
superintendent Of the Anti.saloon league.
Mr.. Ferguson has been charged with
pushing through resolutions condemning
the present local option liquor law at
several stats church and Sunday school
meetings. He Is also asking for q re-
submission OF the law TO the voters Of
yermonter at "the earliest possible
date
Mr. Ferguson, a. it seems to the News,
has perfect right to attend these con.
ventions and express his opinion on The
LIQUOR Law, resubmission or any other
subject, II he Is invited TO do SO. II,
however, be manipulates things, as Is
charged, in order to get resolution
passed favorable TO bis views, he Is
clearly taking an undue advantage Of
courtesies extended TO him by worthy
bodies of church workers.
While there Is no necessity for 1t, be-
cause there Is no apparent desire among
the large majority Of voters for another
change Ia thei liquor laws At present, II
the local option measure was submitted
to a popular vote, It would probably be
sustained two TO one, as against state
prohibition. II ia, therefore, possible
that Mr.. Ferguson only thinks he knows
what no wants.
The News, by the way, believes just
~ strongly in prohibition for small
state as II did when it supported the
old law, as against local option. It has
watched the working Of the new Law
with keen interest and as little prejudice
as possible. II finds the local option
measure very far from perfect law in
regulating and prohibiting the sale q
liquor, and there are certain features i
would like to see amended, as well as 4
radical change In the hfth-claes license.
The News, however, has come to favor
the present liquor law, because It be-
Iieves that on the whole it Is superior
to the old one as q prohibition measure
M. Ferguson To the contrary notwith'
standing
III the enforcement Of the present law
becomes more lax with age, then there
il time enough to talk Of another change
| The fact that the voters are called upor
/ TO decide between prohibition and license
| for their respective towns each year has

The Times heartily supports the Bur-

What Is desired is 70 teach the careless
