Deathbed Repentance.

mo one, however, pertends to claim
that DR.. -slead's nomination has not
cost him considerable cash he
has had a political bureau, and head
quarters and has used considerable
advertising space in the papers of the
state. Proctor and Prouty also spent
considerable sums of money in legi-
innate channels to secure the nomina-
ton. Probably each spent as great
an amount as Doctor Mead has spent.
and spent it in much the same man
ner. All of the candidates against
Doctor Mead spent considerable
money in their campaigns and we ven
ture that for the votes received M. J.
Hapgood spent more money than any
other man in the field, yet he was the
most bitter against Doctor Mead. and
was opposed to making the Mead en-
dorsement unanimous, while F. G.
Fleetwood with 100 times the support
that Mr.. Hapgood had was willing.
While the spending of considerable
sums of money for gubernatorial can
dates is and has been necessary in
Vermont it is not the ideal political
situation and The Monitor certainly
hopes that the agitation and discus
sion IN this campaign and the enact
ment of laws making it necessary for
paign expenses, will help remedy the
situation. / Barton Monitor.

to keep nagging on some phases of
the campaign that have been put out

convention, but il must remain true
to what it believes to be the princi-
pie involved in the whole contest So

Brief State Notes.

The Masons of Brattleboro have
raised $25,000, which will be used in
altering the O'Connor house on Main
street into club house.
The postoffice at Castleton was
broken into July 6 and 5000 in cash
and some stamps taken. The black
smith shop of George Coats was en-
tered the same night.
Five or six Montpelier boys cele-
brated the Fourth by tearing down
the sign in front of the American
Clothing Co.'s store. Summoned be-
fore Grand Juror F. E. Gleason. they
admitted their guilt and as they ex-
pressed a willingness to settle they

These methods are exactly those of
the syndicates which we condemn.
They could not survive a moment
upon any other basis of operation, be-
cause they pay cash for labor. Farm
labor is performed by the family. and
hence no cash value is given. Our
opportunity lies in combining the
supervision of the syndicate with our
present methods of performing farm
work. OF course. such a procedure
would subordinate some of our farm
notions and traditions and be most
humiliating. To be told that piece
of land should be ploughed a second
or even a third time before it would
be fit to plant, when the former prac-
tice had given only a second or third
breast, but it would lay the founda-
ton for real education. These sug-
gestions have been confined to the
dairymen. They are just as appli-
cable to crop growers.
Work for the Local Grange.
In my opinion here is work out
lined for the local grange which is
opportune and is of far more impor-
lance to the final outcome than the
control of legislation, particularly at
this stage of our agricultural de-
velopment. Hard, indeed, it is to deal
with the mistakes and faults of our
own under our direct management.
We can easily denounce Congress and
the distant merchant, when our
troubles are at home and under our
control if we could adjust our point
of view to see them.
These sayings are not popular. but
they are true, and unless the grange
begins to work out some of these
local farm problems, which it can so
easily accomplish, 1 fear it cannot al
ways live upon entertainment and
the hustle of few leaders.

Why Agricultural schools.

At the meeting of the National
Educational Association in Boston
last week. the needs and methods of
agricultural education received con-
siderable attention. Some of the in
formation given and ideas advanced
should be generally known by Yer
mont farmers. In order to bring ag-
riculture up to a proper standard
training in the practice of agriculture
as well as instruction in its Theory
is needed. The high school and the
college of agriculture give only the
theory and the practical part is neg
lected. The agricultural school will
teach the boy how to cultivate the

field, to milk the COW. to feed the soil
and the COW, to cut and pitch the
hay. In other words it will give him
a good taste of progressive farming
and equip him to conduct it for him
self in a practical way. In this work
agricultural schools have field of
their own.
Some facts about the condition of
farming in this country emphasize
the need of more intelligent effort in
agriculture. If this country vas to
wheat, oats, corn and barley per acre
produce on its tiIlable land as much
as Germany does it would increase
the value of agricultural products
$4,000, 100000 per year. Notwith-
standing the new areas of virgin fer
ti1ity that are being opened, the pro-
ductiveness of American soil is beng
greatly reduced. In the Dakotas
wheat fields that yielded from rs to
80 bushels a few years ago now yield
only IL to IA bushels per acre. This
is the result of less than a quarter of
a century of cultivation. In England
where the land has been cultivated
y
per acre. England, Germany and the
Netherlands produce from two to
three times as much oats per acre as
America does. The saverage potato
yield per acre in those countries is
$50 bushel while here it is from IS to
90.
These statements show that the
American farmer is not an up-to-date
man when compared with farmers OF
other countries. When it is further
realized that the consumption Of ag-
riculturaI products is increasing in
this country faster than their pro-
duction the necessity of improved
farming methods becomes more evil
dent. Already the American farmer
is losing the European markets be-
cause the cost of production here is
higher than in other countries and
the loss of these markets means the
loss of large revenues to the produc-
ing classes of this country. The
farmer must realize that he must
learn more profitable methods of
farming if he is to help maintain
the prosperity that has been the
boast of this country. The prepara-
ton he had for farming is not ade-
quate for the present day demands
and is not sufficient for his son. If
the boy is to be attracted to farm
ing he must be equipped to conduct
farming more successfully than it has
been done.
Another fact Vermonters should
remember is that other states are al
ready providing means for educating
secondary schools and colleges
teaching agriculture now than there
were 8 months ago and not a single
one of those in the public education
system of Vermont. Twenty-Five
years ago Minnesota opened a school
where the boys who had decided to
become farmers might receive more
thorough instruction and training in
agriculture than either high schools
or agricultural colleges gave and now
over 40 such schools have been estab-
| lished. So Vermonters must remem-
Der that with other states taking such
advanced positions the people here
must not rely on private schools for
educating practical farmers but they
must act in accordance with the best
thoughts of the day and esta blish ag-
ricultural schools for themselves.
