WEIR MOVIES VI NTER pOMIiR.

At the risk Of firing our readers
with frequent discussion Of the water
power of the Green Mountain state and
the development Of tho same we VEN
ture to consider a few Of the special
facts brought out IN connection with
this general subject by President
Roosevclrs conservation exports. 1t
IS shown on this authority that ie
TIE water power Of this section OF the
country were utilized to the limit,
twice as much work could be dono 10y
New England rivers as IL accomplish
ca at the present time in the running
oi mills and factories, the propulsion
of street cars ana the illumination OF
streets and houses and places of bus
| mess.
These experts say their studies OF
water powers have been moro thorough
| in New England than anywhere else
in the country. Developments here
show better than elsewhere the in
creased usefulness of water power.
The New England powers were in
| considerable measure developed I'm the
earlier days, when there was no cleo
trio transmission. But in recent years
one could sell the surplus for cleo
tric lighting and Tor other purposes.
For that reason there has been large
and rapid development in some of the
| New England States.
| At present the experts suggest lit
tie opportunity fer utilizing the fan
Of rivers for heating plants. In that
regard the shipmcnt2 Of coal to New
| England are not likely to diminish,
For. while electric heating Is now
| practical, it Is very wasteful street
cars in many cities are heated by the
same electric current that turns the
motors. but on severe winter days

Gus problem.

the experiment station. Readers will
recall that the bill to abolish the
board of agriculture was first killed
and then rider incorporating an ao-
preparation for forestry work was put
on. and before the tanglc was straight
ened out the bill passed bota branches
of the Legislature ana was signed by
the governor. While a rather neon
gruous measure. 1t IL understood the
provisions Of the bill are fairly work
able. one unfortunate thing about the
new law Is that tho active secretary
of the board Of agriculture must not
receive moro than $1,000 per annum
and perhaps less, according to the
discretion Of Tive board. There arc
many things that a secretary or COM
missioner could do to doVclop and adj
vance Vermont agriculture but II can
not be expected that the salary named
will be much of a temptation for an
enterprising man to devote his whole
time and energy to the work. Isn't
this the old policy OF penny-wise and
pound foolish?
1t is never wise policy to limit tho
efficiency Of IN agency of improve
ment like a state board of agriculture
and It was unquestionably a mistake
to say that our new board should no,
employ a man worth more than S1.oOu
year TO the state. However, the pre-
sent board includes patriotic and pub
spirited men who will do their best
for our commonwealth REGARDLESS of
the compensation afforded them by the
act OF legislature While the state
will not suffer therefore as much as
might be expected by the outside OBJ
server that result will be attribut-
able 20 public spirit cn the pert Of
members Of the board rather than ia
the wisdom Of the legislators.

\ NOTGn SERVICE FOR RURAL.
POSTAL SERVICE.

While many farmers of Vermont as
! well as % other States have had their
patience sorely tried in training their
horses to pass autos without making
serious trouble, IT is not impossible
their efforts may be rewarded Inter on
through the application of the auto %
service for their particular benefit.
The project of using the motor post
coach in connection with the free
rural delivery service has been breach
FL as n result OF the proposal to pro-
vide a parcel service for the benefit of
oUr rural communities. ana the prac-
teal character Of the idea will at once
imprcsq itself upon all who stop to con-
slider it
1t Is suggested that a motor post
coach might be provided that in addi-
ton to carrying the mail on rural de-
livery routes would also afford ac-
commodations for passengers as well
as for packages and bulky articles.
Inc rate Could ne made almost NOM
inal for small packages ranging from
five to Twenty-Five cents according TO
the size and distance. and from ten to
twenty-five for passengers.
The argument Is advanced that this
system would be of material advan-
tage for the local merchants whose
trade within the territory tributary
to the local postoffice would thus he
protected against competition from
the retailers of the big cities.
Inasmuch as Congress Is being urg-
ed to make a trial Of the parcel post
system, and may later on try the pos
Ia! savings bank idea. it can be seen
that there is a tremendous tendency
to improve conditions in our rural
communities in accordance with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendations for
the advancement of agricultural con-
ditious generally, and it IS not i'm
possible that the auto post coach Will
he one Of the early results Of this
movement.

II Is often beneficial to step outside
OF the borders OF our own State and
see how other people look at us. This
r. particularly true with reference to
the efforts we are making to promote
our agricultural interests The New
England Homestead thinks, for ex-
ample that our state mas taken ques-
tionaby steps IN connection with
changes in our laws relating TO the
state board Of agriculture. It says.
Vermont has abolished her state
