distant ten miles in an air line. They
delight to point out that the contour
of Mansfield resembles the profile of

them exact themselves in a spirit of

Green Mountain Conservation.

Cancels Hump, the most conspicuous
and slightly peak in Vermont, has been
offered to the state for park by its
owner, Mr.. Joseph Batteli. The tract
which he desires to convey has an area
Of 1000 acres, and with the exception
Of The top Of TIE mountain it consists
Of what is termed virgin forest" in
dispatch from Montpelier. The Hump
itself is bare, vast upheaval of rock,
from which, on account Of the complete
isolation of the mountain, one Of the
finest views in New England can be
had.
Camel's Hump, 4,0SS feet high, is eigh-
ty miles due west Of the Presidential
range in New Hampshire, twenty miles
due east of Lake Champaign, twenty
miles southwest of Mount Mansfield, and
fifty miles north of Killington peak, its
rivals in the affections of hill climbers
in Vermont. We assume that the state
will gratefully accept Mr.. Battell's gift
1.-THE only condition attached is that the
trees on the tract shall be preserved
and paths made through it, because it
is high time something were done to-
ward conservation Of the Green Noun
tains. Perhaps Mr.. Battell's generosity
will be matched by Mr.. NJ. Z. Wheeler
of Rutland, who owns the summit Of
killington t4,24ll, which he is fond of
declaring has no equal in Vermont as
mountain. Killington is in the very
heart of the Green Mountains, one of
a group of peaks which it dominates.
The principal SUBMITS almost equalling
it in height are Pico, Little Pico, Men
don and Shrewsbury. Nowhere else in
Vermont is there such community of
mountains or wilder country. Nu-
merous streams rise in the gorges, and
the whole district is heavily wooded.

Now that Cancels Hump is to be re-
served to the people, we hope the citi-
zens Of Rutland will urge upon the leg

Killington group, every hill, escarpment
and ravine OF it, with its tumbling
streams and young rivers. Far flung

say is more like a real mountain in

formations than any other upheaval in

Small Farms Are Best.

Columbia county Wash, has been pro
dueing too much wheat and barley. The
gangplow and the combined harvester
have made possible the cultivation of
land on such an extensive scale that the
big farms have swallowed the smaller
ones. This system Of absorption has
proceeded so far that during the 10 most
prosperous years the county has ever
known its population has actually de-
creased 49, As the population of Day
ton, the principal city of the county,
has increased more than 800 in the same
10 years, it is not difficult to trace the
drift from the country to the city. Co.
lumbia county, pointing with pride to
its reputation as the greatest barley
producing county in the state, and also
to its heavy production of wheat, appar-
emily does not regard the record IN this
particular as disadyantageous to her
general prosperity.
But within the confines OF Columbia
county there are already located fruit
and vegetable farms, which produce
greater net incomes from 10 and 20 acres
than are taken from grain farms Of 10
times the size. The economic advantage
in the small farm does not cease with
creation OF as much real tangible wealth
from 10 acres as may be derived from a
grain crop on 100 acres. The fact that
10 families can make a living in fruit
and diversified farming on the same
amount OF land needed to enable one
grain grower to keep even shows the
tremendous advantage Of the small farm
to the community and the state.
Grain growing for many years has
paid large profits on comparatively small
Investments. Not only in Columbia
county, but in other portions Of Oregon
and Washington, has the small settler
with his little family been replaced by
the hired man of the bonanza grain
growers Every locality where this
change has taken place has been a loser.
