Vermont and Conservation.

Conservation--tbe saving of on
natural resources-has won an en-
phatic victory in Vermont, and 1t =
time that this state with its not mex
haustihle supply of timber wake
up to the situation.
The defeat of the Ottauqueche
log-driying bill in the legislator
last week ia notable in more way
than one. 1t is the first time in th,
history of the state that the people
have made fight for the protection
of their woods and water and won.
The rebellious residents of Otiau
!, quechee valley have been making
history.
The Champlain Realty Company
a subsidiary of the Internationa
Paper company, sought a charter
from the Legislature empowering il
to enter upon the river, remove
distractions and make other i'm
provements on this beautiful stream
for the purpose of floating logs and
pulp wood down to the Connecticut
and thence to points wherever
wanted. 1t has large tracts of timber
around the headwaters of the river
which the company claimed it could
not utilize unless it secured this log
floating privilege, which is probably
not true. The bill before the legisla
ture as first drafted was fairly still
proposition-sim bills have bee
presented and put through az
matter of course-and perhaps I
sweeping nature of the first demands
accounts for the sudden and unex
pected wrath Of opposition which
killed it with an almost unanimous
vote.
The Ottauquechee bill is dead fol
two years at least, and with the
spread of the conservation idea, the
education of our people to the neces
sity of preventing further desolation
of their woodlands, similar measure
will have less consideration in the
future.

Wonderful Argentina.

Argentina is one Of the most impor-
tant countries of'the earth. Her area
is about 100000 square miles, or near
ly three times that of the German en-
pire. In 1909 the imports were valued
at $500, 100000. the exports at $S97,-
100000. She is the greatest corn ex-
porter In the world and the first ex-
porter of meat. In the expectation Of
wool and wheat she is second, with a
fair chance of soon becoming first In
the variety and number of its live
stock Argentina surpasses every other
country. Thirty years ago her culti-
waited land was 100000 acres; now 1t
is 14,000O00. More than 5000, 100000
