Soils GROWING Better

Declaring that the worlds soils are
today greater storehouse of fertility
than they ever were, Prof Milton
Whitney. chief of the bureau of soils
in the department of agriculture, in
a bulletin just issued, takes stand
in direct opposition TO many writer's
who hold that soils are gradually
wearing out. Prof Whitney states
that a study of the record for the
past 40 years will show that the aver
age of crops is increasing. particular
ly in the older states where the soils
have been worked the longest There
has been, he says, an increase of two
bushels to the average yield of wheat
per acre in the past 40 years, al
though the yield of corn has decreas-
ed one-half bushel THE soils of
New England have materially increas-
ed In yields of corn and wheat dur
ing forty years says the professor,
but what is more startling they are
producing considerably heavier yields
than the soils OF the Mississippi river
afes.-Brattlcboro Phoenix.

Good Roads

No matter who may be the Republi-
can candidate for the governorship Of
1910, it is already evident that the
question of good roads will be one Of
the most important issues, II not the
paramount issue in the campaign as
well as during the following legisla-
tive session. It is recognized that we
cannot come into our on as custodi-
ans of great pleasure ground unless
we take prompt measure to put our
state in position to compete on more
even terms with New Hampshire and
the Adirondack region as regards
smooth and serviceable highways.
1t is also to be borne in mind that
Maine, which already has a large
tourist patronage, is taking time by
the forelock to prepare better roads
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1909-10-13

as an attraction for summer visitors
as well as for the benefit of perman-
ent residents. II is stated that Maine
this season is building AIS pieces Of
state road at an approximate cost OF
$275,000, exceeding the expenditure
made in any of the last seven years
that state roads have been built. Next
year work on trunk lines will begin as
soon as the appropriation is available.
The Brattleboro Reformer calls at
tention to a measure adopted in Mas
sachusetts The highway commission
of the Bay state in order to obtain
data from. which to make fair APP
portionment of it's appropriations for
road building has adopted the scheme
of taking a census of the amount OF
traffic on every main thoroughfare in
the state. Last week at 200 stations
on the principal highways in Massa-
chusetts count was made OF the num-
Der Of vehicles that passed each day
between a. M, and 3 p. IN. Another
census will be taken during week
in October. and from the totals thus
obtained the highway commission will
be able to divide its money in proper
ton to the amount of traffic on each
thoroughfare. The Reformer suggests
that if such scheme were adopted
in Vermont the highway apportion-
ment would be much more equal than
it can be as long as mileage is the
only basis.
The Bennington Banner which has
been advocating a general system of
highway improvement in some such
way as has been adopted in Maine
says that the sentiment in favor of
those trunk line roads is growing all
the time and If we can ever get leg
islature together that is willing to
lop off few eXtravagances and put
the natural increase in the state in
come into trunk line road building,
Vermont can build all the trunk lines
needed without an extra dollar of d.
rect taxation"
We can add to this statement in IA
vor of the adoption of thoroughly
modern plan of financing a road sys-
TEN that will give us a trunk system
promptly, is also rapidly increasing.
1t is realized that If we continue our
present piecemeal system of construc-
ting short stretches of permanent
roadway, it will require decades to
provide complete trunk lines so great
ly needed and in the meantime our
neighboring states will have succeed
ed in thoroughly monopolizing the
summer tourist and summer resident
business. With New Hampshire re-
alizing millions Of dollars from this
source. it requires no argument to
show that Vermont cannot afford to
do without good roads.-Burlingto

Mrs. w. ]. Beggs OF Seattle, Wash
ington, has succeeded in producing
the first rose ever grown without
thorn. Mrs. Beggs was for years
neighbor and close friend OF Luther
Burbank, and she admits that she
owes a good deal to him in her
achievement. Each labored in his
own garden to produce the much de-
sired rose, but at length Mrs Beggs
decided that the climate of Southern
California was not suitable for the
purpose and accordingly she moved
to Seattle. 1t took months, but in the
end flower of great beauty has been
produced which compares to advan-
tage with the best of our American
roses, and has a perfume second to
none its stem is smooth, like that of
a lily Mrs Beggs' secret is, so far
all her own. AS she is a woman, and
a very feminine one at that, she prom
ises that she can not keep the secret
much longer but will soon publish it.
The foregoing paragraph is going
the rounds of circulation in newsps-
pers and magazines but rose with
out thorns is by no means new
thing. There are growing in the city
of Montpelier, this state, number OF
rose bushes which are without thorns.
These bushes flower profusely every
year, but the variety is not of par
ticularly striking kind Whether
these bushes are a freak or a distinct
variety we do not know.

All is Not Gold That oIItters

Upon those who imagine that work
at $3.50 per day in the city is more
attractive than $3.50 per day in the
country, we urge their careful perusal
a communication to the Tribune
Farmer by one who has had expert
ence in both places. He says:
Il had spent all of my life in the
country up to the fall of 1903. when,
through a friend who lived here in
Auburn. | succeeded in getting place
with the International Harvester com
pany, formerly the Osborne Works.
At that time | owned small farm of
seven acres. ] moved my family,
which consists of my wife, one daugh-
ter and myself, here. intending TO
stay until spring, and then go back,
but | was fortunate enough to get a
place which gave me SIS week
(piece work. At that time prices
were not so good in the country as
now. Farm hands were getting about
$50 month, or 81 to $3.50 a day in
harvest. My wife thought it would be
foolish to give up such place and
go back to the country, so we stayed,
and the next fall was given another
and better place at $16.25 a week, so
we stayed another season. The sec
ond spring | had chance to sell my
farm, and as | was getting such
good wages here / sold II. But the
rent is so high here and prices of
everything are so high now that it
takes all o a mans wages to live. Pri-
ces have steadily increased ever since
we came here, till now we pay about
33 per cent more for everything than
when we came here; so 1t is almost
impossible to lay up anything After
my six years of city life we are con-
templating a move and next spring
will find us back in the good old coun-
try, getting up at o'clock in the
morning and milking eight or ten
cows-or more if necessary-and
working fourteen or fifteen hours a
day There | know I'll have a good
appetite, and | know that what | get
TO eat will be fresh and fit TO eat.
When | was in the country | always
had good appetite, but since | came
here the confinement does not agree
with me, and there are times when |
have scarcely any appetite at all and
get quite thin in flesh
so in closing | will say that | fully
agree in advising Hired Man" to
stay in the country if he values his
life and likes good things to eat

tended to hold the meeting in the OPP
era house but the promoters were in
formed that it could not be used for
that purpose, although the socialists
alleged it was agreed months ago that
they should have it. The socialists
have taken the baseball grounds for
the meeting. A brass band will be in
attendance and the grounds will be
specially Illuminated. Arrangements
are being made for hall in case the
weather should be unfavorable for an
outdoor meeting. Among the speak
ers will be Mrs Rose Pastor Stokes of

church of Schenectady, and John
Spargo author of many sociological
works. whose summer home is at Ben
nington Center. Miss Mary r. San
ford, a well known resident of Ben
nington Center and formerly of Troy,
will preside.-News Item.
The preceding news item from an
out-of-state paper calls attention to
condition in which most Vermonters
are eminently short-sighted The
Herald is not at present informed as
to why the management of the Ben
nington opera house refused to let
these socialists speak in their thea
ter, but it presumes that it was for
the same reason which barred Emma
Goldman from speaking in Montpelier
and Burlington.-Rutland Herald.
The Herald draws the natural infer
ence but an incorrect one in this case.
The Bennington opera house is own
ed by a very wealthy old gentleman
who takes particular pride in the pro
perty and wants to keep it, looking
well. For that reason he will not al
low it to be rented for public meet
ings.
During a political campaign several
years ago the Republican town com
mittee offered $3.50 for the house one
evening for addresses by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
and Attorney General Bonaparte, and
were promptly refused. On anothr
campaign local supporters Of Hon. p.
w. Clement tried to get the house for
an address by Mr.. Clement and were
told they could not have it at any
price
The local manager of the house is
even forbidden to bring in a roper
toire show 1t seems to be purely
desire on the part of Mr.. Putnam not
to have the house 'mussed up" The
local manager leased it to the social
lists without knowing that the intent
was to hold a public meeting. Mr..
Putnam himself forced the cancella-
ton of the lease There is no dis
elimination in the matter; it is sim
ply the rule That is all there is to

Putnam usually has his own way with

cue by the steamer Vaderland of Capt.
Edgar f. Biglow, mis- wife and child,
and the crew Of four men from the
sinking schooner Eugene Borda, south
east of Nantucket lightship, was ac-

gale.
Wireless reports show that the vad-
erland, bound for Antwerp, had turned
the ligntship when. at Z a. m, the
schooner flying distress signals, was
sighted.
One of the Vaderland's boats was
lowered, which slowly made its way
to close under the lee Of the schooner.
Mrs. Bigelow and the child were first
taken off. The Borda's crew then fol-
lowed. Captain Biglow being the last
to leave. The return to the steamer
was made in safety and as the ship
wrecked ones climbed over the liners

CLERK FOR ABE sIEeEL CLAIMS
THAT HIS CHARACTER HAS
BEEN RLIGHTED BY STOPPING
COIN = BIG BUNDLE OF BALM
WILL BE DEMANDED.

According to Alex Rosenbloom, he
figures that his character has been
damaged to the extent of about $4,000
and If he carries out a threat made,
suit will be started in the district court
in the near future, with Abe Siegel
as the defendant,
According to Rosenbloom, Siegel
suspected him of annexing certain
pieces of United States money which
belonged in the cash TILL The clerk
maintains, however, that he was in the
right. There was dispute in the
course of which Siegel applied the air
brakes to Rosenbloom's bank account.
The last act angered the clerk be-
yond measure and it is claimed that
the damage suit will be founded on
this. Rosenbloom calculates that it
will take at least $4,000 70 counteract
the humiliation which ne felt Devel-
opments will be watched with interest

The SNOW CAPPED
MANHOLES DID IT
CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT BE.
LIEvEs 1T HAS SOLVED DIPH-
THERIA SITUATION - SEWER
GAS FORCED BACK THROUGH
HOMES AFTER STORM.

In the opinion of DR.. G. A. Carpen-
ter, city health officer. the prevalence
of diphtheria in mild form in the
city can, to a large extent, be attri-
buted as a result of the snowstorm
the middle of last month. While the
theory" they are never the less sub
stantiated in such a manner that
many coincide with him.
The heavy fall of snow three weeks
ago resulted in completely towering
the manholes and catch basins of the
sewer system and the escape of gas
through that source was stopped.
The natural result was that what
gas was in the system was forced to
back up through the residences.
The theory of the health officer is
further substantiated by the fact that
cases have appeared in only the most
modern homes of well-to do parties,
whose residences are connected with
the sewer 1t Is a noticeable fact that
the pooror classes and school children
as body have not been attacked.
There is no one particular locality
where sickness is confined but dotted
all over the city. The weather con-
ditions have been ideal for the Gull
rure of diphtheria germs which are
killed by a few hours of exposure to
the sunlight.
BY special order of Uhe health de-
partment the street force has un-
covered all sewer openings and it is
believed that the situation is now well
in hand.
