ORCHARD LANDeRows INvALuE

More enthusiasm and interest were
manifested at the recent annual meet
ing of the Vermont Horticultural so
ciety at Brattleboro than at any pre-
vious gathering of the fruit growers
OF the state and there is good reason
to believe that the farmers of Yer
mont are beginning to realize the pos
sibllities in apples.
The feature of the business that
has heretofore discouraged the plant
ing of orchards in this state has UNI
doubtedly been the length of time re-
CURED to raise trees to a producing
stage. There is no known method of
overcoming this obstacle to any great
extent, but it has been thoroughly
proven that cultivation will shorten
the period between the time of plant
ing and production.
There is one fact that is beginning
to force itself into the minds of the
Vermont farmer and that is the high
values placed upon orchard land An
acre of trees is worth so much one
year and more every succeeding year
as the time of bearing approaches
Ordinary farm land is worth so much
today and no more year from the
lpresent time unless circumstances OF
a local character raises the prices OF
real estate in the immediate vicinity
While a man may argue that he
can't wait dozen years to reap the
benefit of his labors he win not de
NY that he would be willing to sub
NIT to an appreciation in the value
of his property. In the west fruit
orchards are planted, bought and sold
at all stages of growth and it is this
progressive spirit that has materially
pushed along the fruit business Oh
the far side of the Rocky Mountains
The same conditions could be created
In New England once it could be
shown that through their hesitancy
the people are standing in the way
of progress.

Sheriff Sweet and a detachment
of deputy sheriffs worked in con-
junction With the Ellis and Johnso 4
county officers. Dogs were brought
from the convict camp on the Mans
field road, about two miles from
Mansfield. and we're worked in pairs.
The first information about Ro-
chester after he had left the Haney
house was furnished by guards at
the convict camp, who said they had
seen him emerge from the woods and
get on a wagon loaded with water
melons. The dogs had trailed the fu-
gitiye to this point and when they
lost the trail the convict guards
knew the first Of Rochester's deed.
They had not attempted to intercept
him, having noticed him only casual
ly.
The wagon was headed for Fort
Worth, but the name of the driver or
owner couid not De learned, nor Is
it known how far Rochester rode
this wagon.
According to the statement of one
of the posse, Rochester had asked
for shoes and a hat Wednesday
morning before he reached the Ha-
ney home. He met a hunter and ask
ed also for his gun, but did not tell
him for what The hunter.

lie started to speak again, bat
suddenly wheeled and struck out al
a rapid gait away from the friend
who was ignorant of his actual
crime. Mr.. Haney watched him dis
appear owe a knoll then turned
and walked back to his house. He
did not see Rochester again.
The family was discussing the
unusual incident that made such an
impression on their quiet country
life, when the posse in search of the
fugitive rode up and inquired of Ro-
chester. When the family was toll
of his deed the members YER hor-

afternoon, the men who had effected
his capture lid Rochester's Vigilance
give way and his look of grim deter
mination give way to one of defeat
and despair.
The pockets of his thin, ragged
trousers '":e searched au1 his pit
iful store of worldly possessions
taken out. First came a knife-"the'
knife with which he says he did the
X. l.. knife with four blades, one of
which is specked with blood clots.
He denies that he did the cutting
with a razor. A small purse contaia-
ing fifteen cents and some trinkets
were all that he had on his person.
Before going into his cell for the
night Rochester talked to a Record
reporter and his calm recital of his
crime and the events that led up to
it was grewsome except when he
dropped his head into his hands with
the slow tears trickling through his
fingers and moaned:
ooh, I'm sorry l killed my sister
I don't know why did that, but
and Ieia he raised his tear-stline1
face and said defiantly, I'D kill
that old ron Of a gun aGa'l if | had
him here"
He did not know that his victims
were alive and that they have a
chance for recovery. He tells the
story of his crime as if he were glad
to get it off his mind, sick of the
silence in which he has lived since
II o'clock Monday night.
II had trouble with my brother
in-law about five years ago but 1t
didn't come to nothing until last
Monday. Before that time he h q
promised to pay me $1.25 a day tor
cotton chopping but when he come
to pay me he said he wouldn't give
me but a dollar. 1t made me mac
and l told him so. We quarreled ana
he said that he'd shoot my durne1
head off. / SEE 4 don't want to have
no trouble with you, Uncle JOE
always called him Uncle Joe like
everybody else does-iand besides
you are an old man. He told me he
could still shoot straight, all right.

up and here he paused and guii-
ed hard as if he loathed the crime
that he was going to tell about. the
mental picture of his struggled with
his blind rage during the early hoass
OF the night, a rage that flnany
drove him to get out of bed pull on
hts shirt and trousers, and seize the
only weapon he had-his pecFot
