Cape Cod and Abel d. Makepeace, the
leading grower in America, is known
as the Cranberry King" j. H. Hale,
of Glastonbury, Conn, is the most faS
nous peach grower in the country.
The New England peaches are said
to have the finest flavor and the
peach belt extends into southern New
Hampshire and Vermont. Those who
visited the State Fair last week saw
what Vermont can do in peach grow
ing. The potato crop of Maine was
increased from 6,514,235 bushels in
1899 to 29,250,OO0 bushels ten years
later.
The profits from apple growing are
demonstrated in this article. A troll
ley company in the Berkshires made
a low freight rate on apples and gave
some instruction in the town Of Hunt
/ ington regarding the harvesting of
the fruit and the Improvement of the
trees. The first year 500 barrels were
taken out, the second year 1900, and
the third year 5000, a gain of 900 per
cent in two years. A few years ago
man Who owned several hundred
neglected apple trees proposed to cut
them down, but was advised to- con-
suit a tree doctor" The owner
thought the price for treatment more
than he could afford to pay, but agreed
to give three years crop in return
for putting the orchard in good condi-
ton. The first years crop sold for
considerably more than the money
value of the fee asked. In 1899 A. L.
Blaisdell, of Houlton, Me-, bought a
deserted farm at Winterport for $1,000
which he devoted chiefly to apples
In 1909 it paid 5 per cent interest on
100000 and in five years more the owner
expects per cent on 100000. New
England can ship apples to market
at an average cost of $40 g
carload, while the apple growers
of the Northwest must pay from
5000 to $500 carload. The increased
interest shown in apple growing il
New England is indicated by the re-
port that millions of new trees have
been set out this year, producing 6
tree famine in the nurseries.
The article is too long to review
in detail but it Is valuable because il
shows the great agricultural posi-
bilities of Vermonts future develop
ment.

A GOOD ROADS PILGRIMAGE.

Notwithstanding the remarkable
progress that is being made in the
navigation of the air, it is altogether
probable that highways upon the
earth will be a necessity for good
many years This fact being true
it is important that we devote our
attention in an earnest and intelli-
gent manner to the subject of good
roads in Vermont. The Journal is
very much gratified to hear that
through the efforts of the Montpelier
Board of Trade there is a strong
probability that Washington county
will follow the excellent example set
by Franklin county, and take its
members of the General Assembly on
good roads pilgrimage to neigh
boring State for the purpose OF in
specting the improved highways to
be seen there.
Among the many important mat
tiers awaiting the consideration OF
members of the Legislature that OF
better roads is one of the most press
ing. The arguments for good roads
are too familiar to need repetition
1t is not a question of need but rath'
er one of methods that confronts us
At the outset we start with the fac
that many of our dirt roads are
much better than those of neighbor
ing States and do not require thu
same kind of treatment that must b'
used elsewhere.
We need some central control o
the trunk line highways rather thar
the local policy which sees only tn

and Charles d. Watson, Democrat,
had vote of 1856; Congressman
Plumley had a vote, as before stated
Of 1890 and Mr.. Cochran, Democrat,
a vote of 6,227. Congressman Plum
ley ran ahead Of the Republican can
didate for Governor 1924 votes and
Mr.. Cochran ran behind the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, 1929
votes. In the End district Mead's ma
jority over Watson's is 5000; Mr..
Plumley, therefore, carries the End
district by 1903 greater majority over
his Democratic opponent than does
Mr.. Mead.
Congressman Plumley Is to be con-
graduated upon this splendid show
ing. Certainly there isnothing in the
political situation in the End district
to suggest a Democratic House Of Rep
resentatives as a result of the Demo-
cratic vote in November.

THE MORGAN HORSE IN VERMONT
(Burlington Free Press.)

Time was when the Morgan horse
constituted one of the chief glories
of Vermont, but for a considerable
period our people followed after
strange ideals in the matter OF horse
breeding The Green Mountain State
speedily lost it's prestige in the equine
world, and it looked as though our
fame in this direction was lost for
ever.
A half dozen years or so ago United
States Senator Redfield Proctor in
terested himself in the project to re-
vive public interest in the famous
Morgan horse and after time he was
able to secure an appropriation by
Congress for the purpose of estab-
fishing breeding station in the home
of the famous horse.
Soon after Senator Proctor's pro-
ject had taken shape Col. Joseph Bat
tell OF Middlebury, who has gained
recognition as wide as the country in
connection with his writings and 9TH
er evidences of interest in the Nor
gan horse, further demonstrated his
zeal as we'll as his public spirit pro-
gressiveness and generosity by donat-
ing his $4,000 stock farm in Wey-
bridge as an aid in furthering the pro-
ject to revive the breeding of Morgan
horses, and from that time on the in
terest in the Morgan horse has own
apace. Some idea of this in
terest can be gained from the fact
that Golfers Weekly, which circu-
late all over the country, speaks as
follows, editorially:
"The Department OF Agriculture
plans to revive the Morgan horse
which half a century and more age
was the pride Of the American farm
Although small, he was exceptionally
strong, distinct, spirited, and kind. In
1S45 it was written of him:
, "'There is no doubt whatever Of
'this-that the breed of the Morgan
horse was and Is now far the
} best breed of horse for general use
= that was ever in the United States
t probably in the world
! "The sire of this breed, Justin Nor
| gan, flourished in the early 10Th cen

l the Vermont hills for his appearance
! and his pulling power. He was no
t fully appreciated, however. until Mi
i descendants began to reproduce hi

y sion for speed came In, the Morgan
S horse was ignorantly bred for rec
: ords. In the course OF time he los
: his own compactness, becoming leg

THE HOUSE CHAPLAINCY.
To the Editor of the Rutland Ne,

TO the Editor OF the Rutland News:
Under the head of Men Who Are
Anxious to Pray" an exchange says:
REV. P. A. Smith, the Methodist
pastor Of Groton, announces himself
as a receptive candidate for Chap
lain of the next House of Representa-
tives, whereat Editor Langley of the
Barre Times dominates Rev. John
Wesley Miller, the Representative
elect from Bethel, for the position.
Mr.. Miller could easily do double
duty and if he drew pay for both Of
fees, So day would make tidy ad-
dition to the exchequer of this popu-
lar Methodist parson, who was a
prominent member of the House in
1908"
The Windsor Journal dominates
Rev. A. w. Ford, chaplain of the State
Prison, for the House Chaplaincy as
follows:
1.-The Journal notices the names of
two clergymen as candidates for the
office of Chaplain of the House,
names unfamiliar to the paper
I'VE are informed that Rev. A. w
Ford, Chaplain of the Vermont State
Prison, would like the position. His
long service in the ministry, it would
seem, entities him to consideration
Mr.. Ford, if appointed, would be
drawing two salaries from the State
His salary from the State as Prison
Chaplain is $500 per year, small
amount considered from the fact he is
saving the State the expense it was
subjected to several years ago by hav-
ing a paid choir at the prison. Mr.
Ford is a good musical director and
has trained the prison choir, at pres
ent composed of convicts, to a fine
degree of perfection.
I'VE would respectfully refer Mr.
Ford's candidacy to the House as il
would appear that he is now per-
forming valuable service to the State
at small wage and is entitled tt
whatever other compensation he car
get for service rendered for which
he is qualified"
There are evidently two most ex'
cellent qualifications in the Ford can
didacy
First, from a financial standpoint
Mr.. Ford is living on starvation ra
lions, and is fairly entitled to a bet
ter wage.
Second, any man who can so sue
cessfully parson two or three hund
red guests permanently quartered a
"The Wilson-Lovell Stand" in Windso
is certainly powerfully equipped for
spiritual guide board to a Vernon
House of Representatives.
Rev. A. w. Ford has held many o
the best pastorates in the Vernon
conference and has more than loca
reputation as an evangelist. 1t is SAT-
that the commissioners of penal in
situations, who are in close touch will
his work, and are acquainted with hi
ability, favor Mr.. Ford's candidacy.
1t is understood that Mr.. Ford viii
not squabble for the chaplaincy job
which is another commendable minis
terial quality, but that he fully ap
preciates the kindly things said abou
him in this connection, and the effort
of friends in his behalf May he win.

INCREASING SUMMER BUSINESS.
burlington Free Press.)

Darlington Free Press.)
One frequently hears in Vermont as
we'll as elsewhere that the automobile
tour is running the railroad business,
and that the multiplication of the
touring car must force the railroads
to resort to extreme measures for
self protection. There are people in
this world who never see beyond their
own narrow horizon. They would
keep busy their whole time doing
things in half bushel, and feel that
if another measure were placed near
them they would be crowded almost
to the point of suffocation.
People make business and the more
people who come to Vermont the more
business will there be for all con-
cerned. The railroads never enjoyed
so much traffic in the Green Mountain
State as at the present time, and if
our people of all classes prove to be
alive to their opportunity, our beauti-
full mountain and lake and river seem
cry as well as our attention to visit
ors will be so advertised that the
Green Mountain State will soon be
enjoying the income which it is en-
titled to receive from its summer
tourist and summer resident business.
! The shores of Lake Champlain on
both sides and on all sides of the ISL
ands thereof should be peopled with
summer residents from the larger cit
les every year, and if we had the
proper facilities for pleasure craft q
reach this body of water from the st.
Lawrence as we'll as from the Hudson
this would soon become the actual
case. This condition would attract
others and all lines of transportation
would have correspondence increas.
ed traffic But for the present we
must largely depend upon our rail.
roads and automobile travel, and in
the end these two agencies will hell
each other.
The situation in this particular neal
the large centres of population is thus
depicted by New York correspond
ent:
although we hear constant reports
of the sluggishness of business AM
stagnation of the stock market, new
ertheless the experience of the weel
indicates that the people on the Who'll
have been prosperous. | l no othel

mer vacation parties entered the sta
tons of New York as has been thu

railway men protested to believe tina
automobile touring was cutting some
what into railway excursions o.
summer traffic. But while tourin;
has this summer been greater thai
in any previous year, nevertheless
the railways have done as we'll d
, they ever did, and the ocean steam
ships have carried this year a large
number of first-class passengers thai
in any preceding year with one ex
ception. The estimate is that during
this week a half million people will
by rail, touring car, trolley, STEAMSHIP
or boat, have entered and DEPARTS
; from New York State"
In time the people of Vermont as
whole will become aroused to the rae
that what we need is more people, n
matter how they come, and more no
ltel accommodations all over tn
State, and more facilities for thei
enjoyment in every way. When W

type became, as 1t is now, practically
extinct. On its experiment farm at
Middlebury, Vermont, the bureau of
animal industry is attempting to work
back to the original stock. The pro-
gram is not exactly to duplicate JUS
tin Morgan, except in his own admir-
able points. The bureau intends to
erase his faults of undersize and of
low action, and in various ways to
meet the requirements Of the present
market"
The Boston Transcript brings the
subject down to the very present by
commenting on the exhibit of Morgan
gan horses at the Vermont State fair
thus:
lone of the most gratifying feat
ures of opening day at the Vermont
State Fair was an exhibit of $50 Nor
gan horses, or more than of any 9th
er breed. The conservation of this
splendid strain is highly commend
able. No other of recent times has
combined in a higher degree equine
qualities of all around usefulness"
The Federal Government and the
American press having done their part
to aid Jealous public men like Sena-
tor Proctor and Colonel Battell in
rehabiltating the Morgan horse, it
remains for the people of Vermont as
whole to do we'll their part in the
work of restoring the departed glor-
les of Vermont as leading horse
breeding State and helping to thus
promote the general prosperity of our
commonwealth.
