terment of the farming conditions of
Vermont will be improved by these
agencies.
But nothing that can be done in this
line will be effectual unless the farmers
of Vermont as a whole become aroused
to the necessity of adopting up-tC<
date and thorough methods. The diff
ference between the results gained, for
example, by MIR. Holmes of Charlotte
in the cultivation and production of aL
pies and those secured by his neighbors
who gain no revenue whatever from
their orchards, is due entirely to meth
DDS. The same soil, the same climate,
the same amount of rainfall and SO on
are vouchsafed to the neighboring
farm, and those who are lanIenting
that they are rot so fortunate as Mr..
Holmes, need to become aroused to the
fact that they can accomplish the
same results, if they will.
Ehe same thing is true of dairying IN
successful way, and in profitable
farming in any direction. What Is
needed is the application of methods
which, have already been shown to be
possible and successful. Our hills
which cannot otherwise be WeM util-
lied should be feeding thousands, of
sheep. Our valleys sho7ld be producing
hundreds of dollars worth of crops
where dollars now measure the income.
We should, be supplying oar own meats
and our own canned goods. both fruit
and vegetable, and producing corn for
our stock instead of buying so large a
part of these. supplies outside Of the
state.
When our faprners become aroused to
their opportunities, especially with the
present high. prices, they will make
Vermont blossom. as rose. -@Burling-

The Messenger has suspected the

years that there are a small handful OF

discredited and their influence is of no

The main points of Col. Gibson's ar
ticles on Direct Primaries" may be
summed up in the following: Direct
primaries mean responsibility of the
official to the voter, instead of the re-
sponsibility to the political worker; it
is the simple method; it makes the
exercise of corrupt influence over nom
nations more difficult under the direct
primary more interest is taken in the
nominations. 1t brings out regularly
on an average, three times more of the
voting strength of the party than un-
der the caucus system; it insures more
rule by the people; it banishes into the

memory of a great man, when the

Thursday. Justin S. Morrill, undoubt-

Aldrich in making the recent tariff bill
Golfers Weekly prints table set,
ting forth how each senator voted on
the 129 roll calls that took place dur

lete, chief insurgent, voted against the
Rhode Island boss LOG times and with
him Is times; Bristow, of Kansas, vot-
ed against him 101 times and with
him q times; Beveridge of Indiana,
voted against him 55 times anu with
him "a times. And so we read down
through the list until we come to the
name of Dillingham; who voted against
Aldrich once, with him 81 times and
failed to vote "a times; and Page
who voted against Aldrich four times
presumably on the hide scheduIes) and
with him 125 times. We have already
expressed our opinion regarding the
action of Vermont'S senators on the
tariff bill, and the people of the state
in one way and another have also ex-
pressed theirs. There is one thing
however, to be said in favor of Senator
Page. HE attended strictly to bust
ness. According to the afore men
toned table he was one of the three
senators who voted at every roll call !;
the others were Aldrich himself and

The Matter with Vermont Farming.

Vermont has many excellent farmers,
but it is notorious fact that the farm
ers of this state as whole are pro-
ducing only a fraction of the income
which should come from the soil of this
commonwealth. Here and there in
different sections of the state can be
found farmer who makes a. speciality
of dairy farming. sheep husbandry, fruit
growing or of some other line of inten-
sive farming. His success shows what
can be accomplished by any other farm
er who is willing to combine brains
and work. Many farmers do as well as
they know how, having had no oppor-
tunity to learn of better methods
while others are too shiftless to even do
as we'll as they know how. The state
department of agriculture, the Univer-
sity of Vermont and State Agricultur-
al experiment station have all done
splendid service for the farmers of
Vermont, and the effort to interest the
tillers of the soil in more thorough
methods of farming through the better
farming special train ought to be ap-
preciated as still further evidence OF
the determination of these institutions
and agencies to promote the agricultur-
al interests of Vermont in every posi-.
BILE way. 1t is safe to say, moreover,
that every new opportunity for the bet

Gov. Prouty's Administration.

We have observed tendency in some
quarters, now happily few, to belittle
Gov. Prouty's administration. This is
all wrong, for no man inhis. position ever
more earnestly tried to perform the du-
ties of the Office faithfully and fearless
ly. He assumed the office with well de
fined aims for the state but facts within
the knowledge of the writer led to the
belief that no governor was ever more
deliberately misled and. betrayed by
the selfis b ambitions and
double dealing of certain leg
islators, who to his face pro-
fessed personal friendship annd unwav-
ering support of his policies. He has sub
mitted in silence to misrepresentation
doubtless trusting to time and circunn-
stances to reveal the truth.
The writer holds no brief for Gov.
Pruoty but justice to him requires this
much to be said. now and it is barely
possible that justice to the people
may sometime demand that speci6ca-
lions be fully set forth with the evil
dence to sustain them. But all this
aside, the fact remains that George H.
Prouty has made an excellent governor.
Both at home and while representing
the state abroad he has borne himself SO
we'll that the people have no reason
to be other than proud of their COVER

There is no other organization in the
world that keeps as much splendid
machinery in forceful. helpful motion
with so little money as does the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
through its local, state, national and

portunity to help meet this important
need.
The day chosen for the Gift Day is

falls on Sunday; hence, Saturday.
March 10 will be tSe day for the gift
demonstration. In localities where it
is stormy on March 10 the 2lst can be
substituted.

been gwen. the people have generously
responded to the Tag Day plan of rails
