PHOTOGRAPHED PEACH ORCHARD
Commissioner of Agriculture visited
Dummerston for That Purpose.

Orlando l.. Martin OF Plainfeid, state
oomm;ssioner OF agriculture, in his cam
na;syn of education among the farmers
has decided to exploit Windham county
bv showing to the people Of Vermont
that peaches will grow here even though
we are popularity supposed to be IN ,he
iririd section OF the United States. MI
Martin came to Brattleboro FRIDAY ana
made a visit to the peach orchard Oh =:
Arms Miller in Dpmmerston.
II was Mr., Martins first opportunity TO
eat his fill OF Vermont grown pea.hes,
direct from the trees and he innuigeu
his appetite during the periods OF MS .llp
when he was not engaged IN making
notes or SNAPSHOTS of peach orchards
While this is to be an off year IN the
peach crop Mr. Martin was able to ma
scores of well-laden trees which VIII

Mr. Miller has upwards OF 1900 peach

basket. there is sufficient money in the
business to interest this thrifty Dunn
merston farmer.
Mr.. Martin made a tour Of each OF the
orchards and photographed individual
trees, sections of orchards, punches OF
fruit. and obtained numerous pictures
that he believes will prove interesting to
the grangers of Vermont The commits
soner of agriculture is making many tours
about the state speaking at Pomona
grange meetings and will illustrate his
talks with stereopticon slides. While IN
this county Mr. Martin visited several
tobacco fields and photographs have been
taken of the crop to show to our up
state cousins the diversity of the crops
possible in Vermont.
While Mr.. Miler's peach crop is the
heaviest item in his fruit yield each year
he has about 100 plum trees in bearing.
These trees were also photographed by
the commissioner Vi agriculture. ~ aoui
ton to securing photographs of banner
crops in different parts of the state the
commissioner is also swapping his camera
at WORKOUT fields, poorly cared-for farms,
deserted homes and anything that will
make picture that he can talk about in
his propaganda to the farmers. The com
missioners office is sending out large
cards showing the different stages in the
life of brown-tail and gypsy moths. These
cards are printed in natural colors and
ought to prove invaluable to farmer
who may find what he believes to be
specimens of either of these pests.

Star oranges. large audience was
present to listen to the interesting pro-
gram. The question at the forenoon SEES

the Average Farmer Can Reduce the Ex-
penses Of Living, and Still Live Well!
Different ideas were expressed and com.
parsons were made between present
times and our forefathers day What
were Injuries once are necessities now.
At the afternoon session there were the
usual readings and Rotations and the
topic, What Public Questions Should De
mand the Attention of the Grange? SIS
ter Smith read an excellent paper on
Flower Culture and the question, Would
the Combination of the Grange or Oranges
be Advantageous to the Farmer in Buying
and Selling? commanded the closest at
tention. Cooperation was strongly urged;
the local storekeeper of the little country
town was recommended as a suitable
agent and the mutual benefits to both
were cited. o. l., Martin of Plaintield,
commissioner of Agriculture, was present
and gave an interesting address on both
the question and what interests every
citizen of the state-Vermont Mr.. Mar

A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN.
That Of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Hollender
ON Western Avenue.

Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hollender have one
Of the most charming gardens TO be found
in Brattleboro. While the dry weather
for many weeks past has wrought havoc
with gardens in all parts OF the town
Mrs. lIollender by persistent work with
a hose has preserved portion oil
the beauty that was displayed IN her
garden earlier in the season. She. esti'
mates that she spent only half OF her
time with bose last summer, but this
summer she has spent all of her time
and more Her work is evident. Few
more delightful OF secluded spots can De
found than her garden, which overlookss
the deep ravine to the south and west
of the Hollender home on Western
avenue. The garden is sunken one and
is surrounded by a wall of mountain
stone Many of the flowers are OF the
kind known as old-fashioned and there
are scores Of choice and rare blooms grow
ing in profusion One of the prettiest
spots in this sylvan retreat is the water
garden. Here an artificial pool has been
constructed and aquatic plants VIII be
grown. Beneath the apple trees az the
extreme southern end may be found large
seats and big table for serving lunch
con While many artificial effects add to
the beauty of the garden they have been
introduced IN such an uhostehtdtio'!H
manner that one does not realize, their
presence. Hydrangeas grow to the height
of tail trees and golden glow, reflects
blaze of color through the vines above
the grape arbor. Here the Hollenders
enjoy themselves. Here they can enter.
tain their friends or escape from the daily
routine for an hour and be in as seques-
tered spot as even the mountains can
give.
While Mr.. and Mrs Hollender have
constructed beauty spot they say that
the building of garden is not a task
of one or of ten years but of lifetime
This year the wall of stone has been eX
tended north from the garden toward
the street and pedestals of mountain
stone have been made to support seats
overlooking the ravine to the south.
Grapevines, woodbine and shrubbery COM
pletely screen one from view in the gar
den. Mrs Holender is not novice at
gardening and when she is not busy with
rake or hoe she is studying the works of
the greatest authorities on Horticulture
and horticulture A visit to her garden
is truly pleasure and one long to be re-
membered by those fortunate enough to
be afforded the opportunity.

Chief of Police George Wilson INDUCED
in a bit of target practice Monday, For
a number of days the residents on North
street have been making complaints that
tramps were becoming so numerous that
il required an extra butler to answer the
back door calls of these knights of the
dust. While the inhabitants OF that
section of the village are generous. they
object to being impressed into service as
operators of free lunch establishments.
Word was sent to Chief Wilson that the
hobo pest was proving far more trouble
some to North street people than the
San Jose scale or brown-tail moth. so
putting his arsenal in shooting condition,
the chief made tour of the infected
