Vermont Forestry Commission Arran9
ing Supply Of Nursery Material.

Burlington, Feb 24.-The commits
sion of forestry is now making ar
engagements for a large supply OF nur-
sery material which viii be ready for
distribution to land owners about the
first of May Mr.. Halves, the newly
appointed state forester. has in pre-
paration a circular giving full instruc-
ton regarding the use of this stock
and will shortly be able to quote
prices for which seedlings can be OBJ
tanned.
AS the American nurseries have not
yet raised these IN sufficiently large
quantities and the drain upon Euro
pean nurseries has resulted in an in
crease in price, the commission in
tends extensively to enlarge the state
nursey. In the mean time, at least
for this year. no individual orders for
over $4,000 trees can be considered.
1t is hoped that farmers throughout
the state will avail themselves Of
this opportunity of securing fine seed
lings and will plant a few hundred in
some corner of theft old fields in or
der to become acquainted with the
work. with the idea that they will
later cover their waste land with
valuable growing timber One must
bear in mind that cheap land Of this
class covered with thrifty plantations
has an increased value almost immed-
lately so that a long time investment

FORM said a former California sher-

The reason is that they often make

There is nothing a bloodhound hates

Weather and Crops.

The first of the week was hot, but
was followed on Thursday by a couple
of cool and comfortable days. The
hot weather during harvest proved
very hard on men and horses, and
several horses died on account of
the heat.
Some cutting remains to be done in
the western part of the county, but in
general stacking or shock thrashing is
being done. Definite returns from
the thrashing machine are hard to
obtain, but we have picked up the
following
Gordon Nullens, of Synnes, thrash
ed his wheat and got IS bushels to the
acre.
Fred Miller, Hodges, oats 40, barley
%, wheat 20.
J. M. Harvey, Morris, wheat %.
Joseph Kohl, on Stewart farm in
Darnen, wheat 20, oats 40 and 45.
L. D. Perkins, Swan Lake, wheat 20,
and barley about 40.
T. Joungeward, wheat 20.
T. H. Mcguire, wheat 81.
All the grains weigh up we'll this
year, oats being especially good. The
good wheat crop is somewhat damag-
ed with smut, which is said to be al
most universally prevalent, tho much
worse in the untreated fields.
