KING CORN.

The corn exposition in Worcester last
entries Of corn, and it is expected that
ii will stimulate endeavor throughout
New England in raising the crop. new
worlds record in corn growing was made
by Perley Z. Davis of Cranky, Mass, a
graduate of the Massa chusetts agricul-
tural college in Amherst, who grew l034
bushels of crib-dry yellow flint corn on
one acre, and was awarded the $500 grand
prize offered by the Bowker company for
the crop Of shelled corn Of any variety
showing the largest yield on water-free
basis, in food constituents obtained from
one acre grown exclusively on fertilizer.
His yield at harvest time was 127 bushels
Of sheled corn, which was reduced to
equal 1923 bushels of shelled corn-a
new world record on a scientific basis.
W. II. Bowker, who suggested this meth
cd Of awarding prizes for corn, states
that this is the first time that a contest
of this kind has been conducted on a
strictly scientific basis, careful chemical
analyses being required to decide not
only the actual amount Of crib dry she'll
ed corn grown on measured acre, but
the food constituents as well. 1t is in
teresting to note that the old-fashioned
dent corn OF the West. which many
farmers have looked to for the largest
yield.

The bill introduced in the House by
Mr.. Stafford OF Bratteboro appropriating
$4,000 in aid Of agricultural fairs, pro-
vides that the money shall be divided
pro rata among all the fairs of the state
on the basis of their premium lists. II
Londonderry paid out $500 and Brattle-
boro $4,000 in premiums Londonderrys
share Of the appropriation would be one
tenth that Of Brattleboro. This is the
system followed successfully in Massa-
chusetts, and New York and many Of the
progressive middle western states dis
burse their money for the benefit of the
fairs in a similar manner. This is
more equitable distribution of the money
than to give it outright to a single fair.

NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VERMONT.

New Hampshire's population is 43O,572,
an increase Of 1884, or 4.6 per cent since
1900. New Hampshire has more cities
and large towns than Vermont, and for
this reason, undoubtedly it gained
one per cent more than our state. Man
chester alone gained $4,000 and Nashua
more than 1000. 1t is interesting to note
that the rural sections of New Hampshire
shows the same general tendency to a
decline that was recorded in Vermont.
The two states started in 1890 with just
about the same difference in population
as now exists.
The Springfield Republican, which
looks hopefully at the situation in the
two states, says: Both Of these states
Of mountains and hills and narrow val
leys should hereafter fare better than
they have i'm the development Of manu-
featuring industry. WaterpoWers have
become more available for use through
the possibility OF ira ansmitting them over
long distances in the form Of electrical
energy. But there should also come to
both states a revival # agricultural in
dustry which has thtIe been on the down
grade ever since the Civil war. The
higher commodity prices caused by gold
imitation are themselves a great stimulus
to the restoration Of the hill farm lands
which for 40 years have been under the
depression Of depreciating values and
abandonment for the more favorable op-
portunities of the western regions. The
great development Of science in agricul-
ture must also help tremendously in re-
storing to profitable industry in old
places where the Yankee fathers were
able to live well and raise large families.
Northern New England must also find
advantage in greater freedom of trade
with Canada and a consequent larger
movement of commerce north and south
through that section. The present decade
should see for both these states an ad-
vance such as has not come to them in
the same length Of time since the ad-
venturOus days of their settlement"

BRATTLEBOR0 LOCAL

About $50 Assembled in High School Hall
Last EVening-More Discussion About

That the prudential committee Of the

Of Principal f. y. Smiths plani Of chang
ing the present plan of instruction 50 that
the last two grades will come under the
supervision Of the high school and Of
erecting new building for the others
was brought out in the meeting Of par
ents and teachers last evening in high
school hall Chairman +. O. p. Osg7od
spoke in favor Of the plan and voiced
the opinion of the tOmmIlitv.
At 1.30 o'clock the parents present in
spected the building and met the teach
ers. At O'Clock about $50 people had
assembled and principal Smith gave an
informal talk on the needs of the school
and the work that is being done He
spoke Of the crowded condition of the
high school, rs on former occasions, and
expressed the hope that the district soon
would build another school building sim
liar to the one on Canal street TO accom-
mOdate the classes up to the eighth
grade. He paid the present pupils a
compliment for the interest they are
showing in their studies and told how
in many cases this could be traced to the
high standing Of the school in athletics.
The need Of better gymnasium facilities
was mentioned. Mr.. Smith urged the
parents to take an interest in the work
of their children and see that they spend

give up too much time to outside attrac-
tions. He invited the parents to call on
the teachers so that better understand
ing Of conditions might result and
higher standing in scholarship of many
pupils be brought about
Col c. \. Miles expressed the hope
that the facilities Of the high school might
be improved soon and that the lower
grades might be taken away from that
building and placed in a new one S. w.
Knight also favored the plan Rev Mr..
Osgood said that the prudential commit
tee was heartily in favor Of new build
ing and Of Principal Smiths plan and
that it was their hope that before long
the Hines property on Green street might
be bought. At present, however, the
price seems prohibtive
G. L. Durham spoke of the need Of
better facilities and less crowding and
also Of the imperative demand for a bet
ter place for the high school boys to
spend their time in while not at home
or in school than the pool rooms and
picture shows. After the meeting several
of the parents remained and talked with
different teachers rela tive to the progress
their children were making in the high
school.

Iowa makes a much poorer showing
than Vermont in the census statistics for
1910. The population Of Iowa is 2,224,771,
decrease of 1852. or O.3 per cent from
2231, s53 in 1900. This showing is remark
able in view OF the fact that in the de-
cade from 1890 to 1900 the state showed
an increase of 3l9,572, or 1871 per cent.
The falling off in the last ten years is at
tributed to the general tendency toward
larger farms. There has been large
emigration from Iowa into Canada and
into the western states and territories in
search Of cheaper lands. If the present
basis OF apportonment is changed Iowa
will lose one of its II representatives, in
Congress.
