BETTER FARMING METHODS
NEEDED.

We have often emphasized the ne
cessity as well as tho desirabilty OF
the adoption of more thorough and
more modern methods OF farming in
Vermont. Tho Rutland Herald, in an
article published in another column,
gives a new turn to discussion OF this
question by showing that while the
tribute TO this region paid by Am
bassador Bryce can be used to good
advantage to inSsase the number Of
summer visitors to- Vermont and the
Champlain valley and while summer
hotels would be an excellent thing
for the state, what Vermont needs
above all other things is better farm
ing.
We are prepared to admit the truth
pared to go step further and say
that one OF the prime essentials TO
better farming Is n bette- market and
that one OF the hest ways to secure
this Is TO improve the home mar
ket. The best way to improve the
home market Is to increase the de-
mand for our farm products. and the
surest way TO DO this Is to multiply
the number of visitors to our state
when our farms are producing.
There are also other incentives 20
better farming In connection with
summer visitors. IT Is noticeable
that when an electric road Is con-
structed through street residents
along the way at once begin TO I'm
prov. tho appearance Of their prem
mer visitors. he at once realizes that
ne must be more careful In the hand
ling OF food products as we'll as in
1he appearance Of his premises; and
before he knows II he has been led TO
adopt better farming methods than
he formerly employed.
So whether the Vermont farmer ex
poets to simply sell his products to
campers or those who are furnishing
accommodations for summer visitors
or whether he Is entertaining them
himself, there Is a direct relation be-
tween large summer sojourning in
our State and better farming.
We cannot I've by summer visiting
alone to be sure. but every region
which has promoted this business has
profted generously IN different ways
and Vermont will be no exception to
tho rule

ENGLAND'S ISOLATION AND SEA
RULE.

One might conclude from a consid
Grafton of England constant discus
sion OF her defences that our British
cousins lived simply to guard tho
Of hostile forces. When one stops to
think Of II. however. this possibility
ran hardly be minimized in view OF the
number Of times that England has
been overrun and subjuEated from
the time OF the Roman conQuerors
down to the invasion BY American
heiresses.
so far as @ hostile force Is concern
ed II Is unqucstionabiy true that Great
Britain's safety lies In the protection
of the shores OF England itself. Tho
! British empire might lose number
of its outlying dependencies. but so
long as England is invulnerabie the
Imperial government will be safe ON
the other hand the successful invas-
lon OF England would probably be
OF the empire and the Independence
Of Canada, Australia, India and other
great countries which now owe alleg-
lance to the London government.
The present British ministry Is
plainly rs much alive TO this possible
Ity as any OF It's predecessors. Prem
