HARD YEAR FOR YOUNG PLANTS
Yet Few OF the Seedlings al State
Nursery Have Suffered.

This hns been an unusually hard sum
mcr 10 Young plants; Yet there has been
very little loss among tie seedlings IN the
state nursery AT the agricultural expert
mrnt station at Burlington. TO lessen
the risk of loss, since thee seedlings are
delicate. the beds are distributed IN four
places, two on sandy and two on clay
loans Those on the light sandy soil
were iertilEed either with lime and ashes,
ar with stable manure and bone meal.
The results on the latter bed were very
fine. Those located on the gravclly clay
loan were moderately enriched with sta.
bile manure 4 more perfect stand was
secured here than on the lighter soil,
probably because 81 its greater moisture

agcmcnt also arranged two years ago To
have seedlings grown in the New York
state nursery and a good supply of plants
will be- received from there next spring
for distribution in Vermont in addition
TO those grown at Burlington.
The nursery has an interesting stock
in smaller quantities of various other
conifcrs which will be offered in limited
quantity for trial paintings next spring.
These include red or Norway pine. pitch

The locust is the only deciduous tree
grown in the state nursery. II is a val

to sandy or gravelly soils. Recent ex.

annual returns exceeding so per acre.

NO RECOGNIZED LEADER.
Comments on Some of the Legislators
Who Have Made Good.

/ Though there is plenty of timber and
plenty of ambition, no recognized leader
of the house has yet appeared. There are
several men who are looked upon as as
hiring to leadership, but in some cases
the members are disposed to be suspicious
of these ambitions, says the Montpelier
correspondent of the st. Adams Messen-
ger.
Neither has there developed any special
oratorical ability. Fish of Vergennes Ba-
con of Hartford, Williams of Newport,
DeBoer of Montpelier, and Leary OF Bur
Iinpton have all been heard to good Ell
fect Martin of Brookline, who has been
so insistent on having the telephone com
names of the state investigated, speaks
frequently and with good sense, and his
remarks are never long enough to be TIRE,
some. He has tendency to a. formal
oratorical style, but it is not IN the class
of talking terrors. Mr.. Fletcher OF cav
endisb makes no pretensions to oratory
and always adopts a conversational tone,

;nfreouent occasions when he addresses
the house Jones of Sudbury, who had
an ambition to be heard on every ques-
tion has been sQuelched and is not heard

which was particularly disagreeable be-
cause his appearance on the floor was LOT
The benefit of some women. Davis OF
Springfield has subsidized since Jones's ,eX-
perience and only talks now when ne has
something to say. Daniels of East Mont
heller and Martin of Plainfield gave prom
ise of developing oratorical talent when
the nominating speeches for chaplain were |
hping made. Daniels has hardly been |
heard from since then, and Martins few |
remarks are brief and quiet. Otis of SUIT
Ton occasionally addresses the house, but
yery briefly. Barber of Brattleboro, one
If The Younger members, has some, repu'
tation as a speaker, but has hardly al"
dressed the house enough to allow the
to form an idea of how well
that reputation is justified.
