More Crops Needed.

Business is good at present; con-
dtions are very satisfactory; the out
look is bright If we have good crops
this year We shall unquestionably have
phenomenal business year. That Is
what II all depends upon you know-the
crops said Henry Clews. the veteran
New York banker recently.
IF the farmers will raise more crops
we shall have more prosperity. This
country's greatest need today Is not only
more interest in farming but more farm
ing and more farming results Nothing
else can do so much for us as this.
"Our trouble today is that we are not
producing enough from the soil to keen
pace with the increasing population. This
and the cOngested conditions in the cities
due to this lack Of interest in farming. is
responsible for the high prices which the
salaried man and the laborer-the very
ones who ought to be on the farms in
stead of in the Cities-feel most of all
THE only way the cost of living can
be reduced is through going back to the
land and making it produce what it
should. We can get good prices for
everything the soil can bring forth. No
one need fear having crops too large. The
world has markets for all the surplus we
shall ever have.
Right here in the East, within easy
reach of the greatest markets, farm
lands are not selling for anything Ike
what they should bring just because
there is not a proper interest in farming
because men do not know how much bet
ter on In every way they would be on
the farms.
IF salaried men and laborers would
go out and hunt up small farms suit
ed to their needs and purses they would.
If they made proper use of them, be
happier, healthier and have more money
to put into the savings banks and to in
vest"

Successful Apple Growing.

We have read good deal Of literature
! on the question Of apple growing, and
| have no hesitation in saying that we have
never seen so much information and so
many helpful suggestions put into an
article Of the same length as c. r.
| Holmes Of Charlotte gives in his half
column letter to the Burlington Free
Press copied elsewhere in this paper.
| Those who are interested in this subject
will recall that Mr. Holmes is the owner
Of the orchard Of one hundred acres on
the Lake Champlain slope which pro-
duced an $4,000 crop Of apples last year,
and for which he has refused an offer
Of $50 900,
Mr.. Holmes lays great stress on the
necessity of liberal fertilization and thor
! ough spraying, but careful reading Of his
letter will show that his experience has
proved the Importance Of constant cult
walton Of the soil Learning his lesson
from the experience OF previous years,
mis- great crop of 1909 appears to have
been due to the fact that, after the gen
erous use Of fertilizers, he allowed no sod
to form among the trees and kept the
surface of the ground open by the repeat
!
rows. This. it will be noticed. cores
ponds with the practice Of apple growers
in oregon and Washington, about which
We have read so much.
Contrary to what we think may be
the general impression, Mr.. Holiness
orchard is not a comparatively young one
The trees were set out by his father 40
years ago. They were set in rows 25
feet apart, and % feet apart in the row
When the orchard came into the care
! Of the present owner he took heroic
measures by cutting out every other row
| This leaves the trees too close together
in the row for the best results but this
objection is largely overcome by careful
pruning. The trees now have a spread
Of about 80 by 25 feet.
In a private letter Mr.. Holmes says he
finds the free use Of stable manure to
be essential to the best growth Of his
trees, and he is now buying manure for
his orchard in Holyoke Mass While
he is using air-slacked lime at the rate
Of 200 pounds for each Of his mature
4 trees he thinks 50 to rs pounds would
be about the right quantity for young
/ trees. His method is TO plow under the
manure TO depth Of about three inches,
/ then spread on the lime and harrow it in
/ thoroughly. The manure and lime should
never be allowed to lie in contact with
each other.
/ Information gained from private sources,
as we'll as from the newspapers, shows
( that the successful growing Of apples in
the far western country has aroused in
terest in this industry all over the eastern
states as never before We are told that
/ the stock OF the eastern nurseries for
next springs planting is practically sold
| out Mr.. Holiness letter shows, as we
/ have heretofore argued in these columns.
/ that the planters who succeed will be
those who adopt and persstently practice
! the best modern methods OF thorough
! fertilization cultivation and spraying,
with careful picking sorting and packing

The War on Tuberculosis.

An extremely significant phase Of the
widespread campaign that is being waged
against tuberculosis in this country is
presented to public attention IN the state
ment recently prepared by the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis relative to the sources of
the money being used for the movement.
In 1909 the percentage of the total expen.
ditures for this cause that came from
public appropriations was 53.5, whereas the
appropriations for 1910 represent more
than 70 per cent Of the money that IS ex-
pected to be spent. The various state.
federal and municipal appropriations for
the war on the white plague this year
amount to more than 50, 0O0 900, Of which.
A,l0OOOO comes from state legislatures,
S3,975500 from county and municipal
funds and 1000 600 from the United
States government. A great part OF this
outlay is properly along preventive
lines, the public appropriations in New
York for this purpose being GO per cent.
Of the total, in Pennsylvania rs per cent.
and in Massachusetts &C per cent Con-
trasted with this revelation of official and
public responsibility for the prevention
and eradication of this disease, Colorado
gave less than I per cent Of the outlay in
that state, California only Is per cent,
and Arizona none at all. This Is re-
markable, but probably arises from the
unwillingness of those states to cultivate
the idea that they are favorable refugees
for the tuberculous, As 1t is believed that
the final success of this great movement
depends upon the enlistment of govern =
ment in the work, these figures are de-
cidedly hopeful-GPhiladelphi Ledger

some wonderful feats are being per-
formed by both American and foreign
aviators in the international aeroplane
contests in Los Angeles. Perhaps the
most spectacular exhibition took place
when Paulhan, n Frenchman, in a Far
man biplane, crcled the field at height
of 4lG5 feet, breaking all records for al
titude in a heavier -than-air machine
Glenn II. Curtss of New York, who won
renown and valuable prizes abroad last
fall, established a new speed record when
he travelled at the rate of SIS miles an
hour accompanied by a passenger. Cur
tiss also made record for speed in
rising from the earth, doing the trick
in 2-5ths seconds after starting his
machine Paulhan made on Tuesday Of
this week the most remarkable cross
country flight in history. On the wings
of a wind which the other aviators hesi-
tated to face, the plucky Frenchman
sailed from the aviation park to Lucky
Baldwin's ranch, 25 miles away, circled
the race track there, and then drove his
machine back against the wind, covering
in all Az miles in l hour, minutes,
AZ 4-5ths seconds. Paulhan maintained
an altitude of 1909 to 1000 feet on his
way over the valley and at one point
reached a height of 219O feet, 1t is
probable that he will win the $40 900
prize for the best country journey,
He claims that he can double the distance
al any time under favorable conditions.

NO NEED HOME

1t is a serious matter wien the lungs
are effected. A trip away, or to a sana-
torium, is not only tremendously eXpen-
sive, but 1t involves separation from home
and friends. Some are benefited; but
none can safely return to their homes.
Eckman's Alternative is effective in cur
ing Bronchitis, Asthma, and more serious
affections of the lungs. No leaving home
and friends is necessary. For instance:

The Vermont Congressional delegation
on saturday unanimously recommended
the reappointment Of Curtis S. Emery as
collector Of customs for the district of
Memphremagog at Newport and Charles
II Darling as collector Of customs for
the district of Champlaln. at Burlington
This decision will be generally acceptable
70 the people of Vermont. Both men
MI their positions with entire satsfac-
tion to everybody and they were ap-
pointed in 1906 in the expectation that
they would have an eight-year tenure of
office like their predecessors. These Of
fees are purely political plums, given as
an award Of merit for faithful party
workers. Presumably as a result Of the
agitation raised on the west side of the
state this year, the terms of appointees
after the present incumbents step out Of
office will be for four years

ATTORNEY CARPENTER ENJoINED.

Latter viii File Answer Soon.

abouts Of $1,000 Paid to Defendant
Latter viii File Answer Soon.
An injunction has been served on At
torney Arthur p. Carpenter of Brattleboro
this week restraining him from trans
ferring or dsposing of $4,000 alleged to
have been placed in his hands in trust
two years ago, and ordering him to
enter an appearance with the clerk Of
the county court within AZ days. This is
a new move in the complicated cases OF
the Jamaica Lumber company and the
Windham Light and Lumber company
The bill in chancery which brought forth
the injunction is brought by Henry A.
Mclean Of Jamaica, who alleges that the
$1,000 was placed in Mr.. Carpenters
hands in order to protect him, Mr. Nc
Lean in a transfer Of land He asks that
Mr. Carpenter be required to make an
swer as TO the present whereabouts Of
the money. Mr. Carpenter will file an
answer to the bill, setting forth his YER
sion Of the land deal and the trust fund
The petitioner AYERS that on Sept l.
1906, he and his wife sold a tract of land
in Jamaica TO the Windham Light and
Lumber company The subsequent com
plicated affairs of the Windham Light
and Lumber company and the Jamaica
Lumber company over the land in ules-
tion were aired recently before Judge A.
A. Hall, and they formed the basis for
VI AlSliib llit suit against hT. Car
penter. 1t would appear from the allie
cations of Mr.. Mclean that on Sept "a,
1907, he met John F. darcy, treasurer
and sole owner Of the Windham Light
and Lumber company, in Greenfield rela-
tive to closing up deal for the re-pur-
chase of the land in Jamaica from which
the lumber partly had been removed.
Mr. Carpenter appeared as a representa-
tive Of Mr. darcy and received a draft
for $4,000 which was paid over by Mr.
Mclean. 1t was the understanding of
Mr. darcy and Judge Hall so found
that this money was placed in Mr.. Car
penter's hands as a protection to Mr. Nc
Lean in fact that he held it in trust
though Mclean denied it in his testimony
The petitioner alleges that Mr.. Car
penter turned part Of this money into his
personal account at the bank and that
ne will give no statement as to what he
has done with the rest. Mclean asks
the court to force Mr. Carpenter to state
whether he received the $4,000 as a trust,
whether he has paid any of 1t to Mr.
darcy and If not what he has done with
II. He further asks that Mr.. Carpenter
be required to pay the $4,000 to the clerk
of the court to be held subject to further
order Of the court.
