CONVICTS' SHARP WORK.
Nay UncoCer alleged Deficit Of
$4,000 IN PENNSYLVANIA Prison.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2I-Discovery has been made, it
IS alleged. OF deficit of $4,000 by board of audi
tors appointed TO fix the financial status of the
Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary. The investisa-
tion started following recent change OF ad-
minstration. and conducted by q number Of
prominent bankers serving time in the insti-
tuition.
The So 900 is accounted for in the bookkeeping
Brooms and broom material to that amount is sup
posed TO be stored away. This alleged extraordinary
purchase has submerged the finances of the big
prison. The hosiery department, it is said, has
been running loss of S1.S00 a year. while rugs
and carpets have been sold for less than paid
for the manufacturing material
preparation, the expenses Of ths perlitentiary will
be met with borrowed money.
There were reports last year of extravaganza on
the part OF the former warden Major W. McC
Johnston When Johnston was finally forced to re-
sign. two months ago, his successor Warden John
Francies, set John Young and Henry Reiber TO
work or the prison books. Young had been auditor
OF the Farmers National Bank and Reiher paving
teller the time Of the discovery of the 81 90Gl
shortage IN that institution last year. and on their
conviction each given a ten years sentence
They were considered two Of the most expert ac-
countants in Pttsburg. When Warden Francies
called the prison board together this week he pre-
sented them Reiber's report.

How Vermont Ranks

Statistics recently issued by the
department of agriculture show that
in 1908 Vermont ranked second among
the New England states in number OF
tons of hay produced in acreage, and
in farm value of meadow lands. Maine
alone exceeding this state. The Nav-
erage yield per acre of potatoes and
the average yield per acre of pota-
toes and the average farm value per
acre of potatoes were lower in Yer
mont than in any other New England
state. Maine exceeds Vermont in
acreage of buckwheat. Vermont
leads New England in acreage of bar
ley and average farm value per acre.
This state ranks second in acreage
of oats, third in average yield per
acre, and first in farm value per
acre. Vermont led New England last
year in acreage and production OF
corn and in the value of the crop. In
number of mich COWS, other cattle
and the value of the same, this state
is far ahead of any of her New Eng
land neighbors. Perhaps the greatest
surprise in the list is the low rank
taken in the growth of potatoes. II
might naturally be expected that
Maine would lead but there would
seem to be no good reason why Yer
mont should be the tail ender, al
though potato growing may not be
the most profitable occupation for

corn cannerIes for Vermont

Vermont grocers are selling canned
vegetables from Maine, Massachusetts
and the Middle Atlantic states, can
ned Strawberries from Maryland, New
Jersey and other places outside the
state apple jelly from New York and
Massachusetts, pickles from Illinois
and Massachusetts, onions from ives
tern Massachusetts, and apples from
Washington and Oregon. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the reason why
money expended in the state for these
products does not flow into the Golfers
!. of the Vermont farmers is because
the latter have not awakened to their
opportunities sufficiently to acquire a
scientific knowledge of agriculture or
to take steps to secure a market for
their products.
The farmers of the Western states
by intelligent hustling have developed
the resources of their communities
and laid up fortunes. II is generally
believed that when farmers of this
state adopt similar methods they will
reap in a measure at least, the same
results, notwithstanding our some
what unfavorable climate. Western
farmers have not waited for oppor-
tunity to ring the doorbell; they have
forced him into the state by means Of
agriculture taught in college, sum-
mer school, and elementary school, by
the appropriation of large sums for
advertising, by the press agent. and
by the establishment of markets
where none existed before.
The Burlington Free Press has re-
Gently brought forward an excellent
idea that every Vermont town SHOULD
have its corn cannery as well as its
creamery Vermont sweet corn is
second to none but few farmers real
ize an income from this product for
want of such a market as a cannery
would afford. Maxwell Evarts, pres
ident Of the Fish and Game League,
and of the Vermont State Fair assoc
iation, has given to the Free Press an
account of his experience in raising
sweet corn for the cannery of Baxter
& Bros, in Windsor. He raises each
year 30 acres. From the marketable
ears he realizes $40 per acre and the
small ears and stalks which are good
material for the silo bring this figure
to $50 The annual value of the crop
is $4,000
To establish a cannery is not as
difficult as might at first be supposed
Cooperation on the part of the far
mers is all that is necessary.-Hard.
