West. while il has reaPed few OF the
advantages which have come TO farm
ing country nearer to the great city
maIkets. Vermont farmers sous who
wishs-to continue farming have gone
West and taken up government lard OF
bought farms. The sheep aud dairy
businesses, once profitable industries
among the Green Mountains, have been
reduced 10y Western competition, while
raising the once famous Vermont horses
has heen hurt 10y the trolley aud the
automobile. The state has no large in-
dustries save marble aud granite, which
serve 10 keep four towns prosperous. IL
has all the ideal conditions for a sum
"Ier resort, but it lacks the advertising
~ that direction which New Hampshire
gets from the White Mountains aud
northern New York from the Adiron-
dacks. In the attempt to raise small
fruits and poultry the Vermont farmers
come in competition with those who pay
less transportati' II to get their goods in-
to city markets.
Altogether the Green Mountain State,
with its noble history aud its inspiring
natural beauties, is in a hard case. It's
legislation of recent years has been pro.
gressive, with the idea of making the
state better place to live in, but
people leave the hill towns because they
cannot thrive in them. The state ought
to be a great playground and rest
ground for these people throughout the
country who cannot afford or do moi
care for the more fashionable resorts
Its conditions of scenery and climate
are ideal for that end and the summer
visitors would make a home market fol
the things which the Vermont farmer.
can most readily raise. But progress il
that direction is slow aud until some
thing is done to stimulate it the stat,
must continue to see its hillsides depop
ulated. People cannot live on air AM

amidst the exceptionally beautiful hills,

is the home town of a community OF
about eighteen hun dred plucky, thrifty
savings of lifetime in the upbuiding
of village worthy the picturesque sur

hall, Odd Fellows Hall, county build

attending regularly held terms of court,
aud several well equipped Offices Of in
dustrial plants, which with the many
small farms constituted the source of an
income, all expended for the general
welfare of that notable little commuu-
ity.
Meritorious effort is sometimes halted
by dire misfortune. Such misfortune
in the shape of a fire that swept away
church, county buildings, the halls aud
a number of the homes must be faced
by people who of all others deserved
a different dispensation. These people,
so deserving at this time of kindly con
sideration, have the necessary courage
to try to amend their fortune, as a
community, and can meet the emergen-
cies created by the disastrous fire if ac-
corded their right to re-establish the
county building, the business and de.

Vermont's Loss of Population

The report is that the forthcoming
census report for Vermont will show
such serious loss of population as to
endanger the continuance of one of the
states two Congressman.
Thirty years ago Vermont had three
congressman, but the larger basis of
population required for representation
in the lower House after the census of
1880, cut out one of them. If the state
should now be reduced to one Congress
sional district, the result will be due to
an absolute, not relative, loss of popu-
lation.
The matter is interesting to Others
than Vermonters, because of its bearing
upon the effort to increase the product.

Gently been started Vermont, orIgi-

In view of the foregoing the follow

Times from the Vermont supervisor of
the census will be of interest:
Dear Sir
My attention has been called to dis
patch from Burlington, bearing date of
August "a, which appeared in your
issue of August %, relating to the ceu-
sus of Vermont. The statement is there
made that, "From sources close to the
Supervisors Office it is learned that only
two or three towns of the State have in
creased in population in the last de-
cade" No information has been given
out from this office regarding census re-
turns and your correspondent certainly
stretched his imagination when he
made any such statement. There has
been no decided decrease in the popula.
ton of Vermont; on the contrary there
has been substantial and healthy in
crease in the last ten years. would
like to give you the figures, but Super
visors are not permitted to give out re-
turns. may, however, say TO you that
the population of Vermont does not en-
danger the loss of one of its two Con.
gressmen.
