note with much interest and pleas
ure your article under above heading
in issue OF December &c. You know
II Is said that there are always two
sides TO every question. What you
say OF the possibilities OF fruit grow
ing in Vermont Is or would be entirely
correct under more favorable game
laws. Vermont apples are without a
doubt the finest that can be grown
anywhere in the world. and there are
today thousands OF acres of land in the
state that would produce more money
II planted out to apples than to any
other crops that could be put upon the
land. The people who own much of
this land are perfectly well aware of
this fact, and can name many men
who would or have tried planting out
large commercial orchards, but under
our present game laws what is the
use? 1t is practically impossible to
bring an orchard up to bearing age,
for the deer will destroy young trees
as fast as they can be planted and our
game laws say the farmer must not
shoot these deer even when caught
in the very act of destroying his trees
and crops. except during the week OF
the open season, when 1t is not safe
for man to put his head above the tor
OF his cellar wall. 1t is true our laws
say that the state will pay all damage
done by deer, but do they? | know o.
one man who started out to plant his
farm to apple trees. He set 800 one
spring, and within a year the deer haC
killed every tree. The state paid the
farmer one-half OF the first cost Of the
trees at the nursery. Another mar
who had his trees destroyed by dee
called in the county game warden anC
after the damage was estimated tn,
warden told the farmer that the stat,
expected him to cut down the estima
ted loss or damage from so to rs pc
cent There are hundreds OF slmila
cases to these.
These conditions are the sole cause
of Vermont's "bashfulness." Remov'
these causes and give the farmer tn
lawful right to shoot these deer whel
caught damaging or destroying hi
crops, and In a few years Vermont
fruit crops would be in excess of an,
other one OF her products, while unde
our present game laws the state i
fast becoming a big game preserve 70
the sole benefit of sportsmen. Thes
are facts. Before New England cal
be doomed very much as an agricultu
al center our laws must be amended
80 that the farmer shall have absolute
control of his lands, and the unQues
tionable right to protect his own a
all times and against destroyers of hi
property.
There is now q movement on foo
for the organization of New Eng
land Farmers Protective League" 70
the sole purpose OF raising sufticien
sum OF money to carry a test case L
the Supreme courts to see II the fai
mer can shoot deer or other noXlou
animals, which are now protected b
our game laws, when caught in tn
act OF destroying his property. Wit
such a fund in hand we doubt yer
much II the game commissioner woul
see his way clear to prosecute the TAI
mer who shot the deer when II wa

 'eThe commission having in charge the expenditure of the money will probably begin by mapping out small section the infested district and devote all their efforts to freeing ot the disease before they at tempt anything large scale. This seems to me to be the logical plan
 "It will be necessary to appoint complete stan of competent inspectors physicians. nurses and att tendants shall take full charge of the chosen territory.
 After establishing a quarantine, the physicians should carefully examine persons in the district to learn If there any cases of hookworm among them If any are found, alling ones should be lodged in clean. sanitary comfortable quarters, where they might be constantly under the eye of the attendants When cured they should be safely guarded from reinfection.

 Such a forecast coming from of the first men prove the existence the hookworm in America is encouraging. Moreover, 1t would be well for the Rockefeller commission to work according to the plan proposed by him.
