New Hampshire Roads.

Gov Henry B. Quimby in speaking
on New Hampshire told some
thing about the progress made in
constructing state roads. He said
that approximately 100000 has been
expended upon the roads this year,
and there has been appropriated to
the various towns 1924, 556.81, with
total sum of $1,O36, O0O.43, to be ex-
pended this year. There has been
about 40 miles of road already COM
pIeted. This trunk line proposition
is a serious problem involving a great
deal of the wealth of this state, but
we have got a dollars worth of work
is the case with the state house, and
I believe the state will have value re-
ceived when that is completed.
wish to get there over good roads, they
can help to pay for them. If he, has
a 6O-horse power car, he is in a posi-
ton to pay for our roads. If he is
not, he has no business with such a
car, for it is luxury.
EVERY bit of state road is a bene-
fit to the farmer, and l believe the
time will come when the legislature
will put all these roads under a COM
petent engineer. Then, with an intel
1igent supervision, these roads will be
kept in condition for all time. I hope
in the next legislature it will be de-
cided to put all these roads under this
department. Not for the motorist
but for the people, the farmers who
must use them, 1 ask for careful use
of there roads,"

A COMMUNICATION.
The Cow and Diphtheria.

TO the Editor of the Caledonian:-
Along with many other citizens of
st. Johnsbury / have been intensely
interested in the mi1k-d iphtheria diff
Guilty that has developed That it is
serious difficulty no one can deny.
That it has caused and is causing, a
deal of embarrassment, both to sick
ones and their homes and to the own
erS of the cows is equally evident. The
promptness and thoroughness with
which measures have been taken to
learn the source of the trouble and
to remove it is worthy of all commend
alton. 1t has occurred to one, how
ever, to wonder if such efforts have
been directed towards the right end.
Remem bering having read something
in one of the Boston dailies some time
ago bearing on a similar situation I
wondered if perchance there might
not be advantage in a straightforward
appeal to the cows themselves. AT
any rate I venture to send you the
piece to which 1 refer-though some
what changed from the original-with
the hope that if you deem it wise to
print it some good may result, if not
physiological and meteorological, why
then surely psychological.
An Appeal to the Cow.
(Adapted from Joe Gomez.
Bessie, bessie, how can you
Make us feel so awful blue?
How can you US milk deny
When we are SO very dry?
Though we long to take a drink
From your milk we have to shrink;
For we cannot come to terms
With your old diphtheria germs.
Bessie, bessie, do not eat
Anything that is un-meat;
Do not wade through greenish water
And to drink you hadn't ought ter.
Shun all patches that are white
OF daisies, clover, and the like;
Don't be feverish or hot
Nor ill-tempered in the lot.
Bessie, bessie, how we long
For some milk so white and strong;
But We'll have to try the goat
If what you give destroys our throat;
Bessie, bessie, come to terms;
Give the hook to all those germs.
Give down milk from microbes free,
Or We'll kick the bucket, see %

City in a Legal Tangle.

Two suits against the city of Mont
pelier, which are returnable at the
next March term of Washington
county court, have been brought to
recover the purchase price of the
property on LOOMS street, bargained
for a year ago by the city for site on
which to erect a new school house.
The P. P. Pitkin estate brings suit for
$1,000 and the Lane Manufacturing
company for $4,000 damages. After
the city had purchased this land and
voted to bond, it was found that the
vote of the city to issue bonds was
not legal and before the thing was
Strengthened out the voters changed
their minds and refused to bond for a
schoolhouse on this property. The
deeds to this property had not been
passed, but the city through the
mayor and council had purchased it
in good faith

an entirely different position. In the
14th and 18th ballot it was discovered
that there were more ballots than del
egates and the chairman ordered the
delegates to be seated and the secre-
tary called the roll. After the roll j.

TEN TONS OF SEED.
u. S. Department of Agriculture
Using That Amount for
Restocking Forests.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 3.-The
U. S. Department Of Agriculture is
using this year on the National For
ests over 10 tons of tree seed. Most
of this seed has already been planted
or sown. The rest will be utilized
later in the season, as favorable con-
ditions are presented.
1t takes a great many tree seeds to
make 10 tons Jack pine, the most
important tree for planting in the
Nebraska sand hills by the Forest
Service, will average something IKE
$4,000 to the pound. OF western
yellow pine, the tree most extensive
Iy planted throughout the National
Forests as a whole, 10000 seed Will
make a pound. Altogether the 1O
tons of seed to be used this year rep
resent perhaps 00,000,OOO single
seeds.
If every seed could be depended on
to produce a young tree suitable for
planting, the result would be sup
ply of nursery stock sufficient to plant
100000 acres of land, but no such re-
suit can be looked for because many
seeds do not terminate. Most of the
seed will be sown, either broadcast or
in seed spots, or planted with corn
planter, directly in the place where
the trees are to stand.
IHere are uoW q ANe11loAAe1i u 60
nurseries with an annual productive
capacity of over 100000 seedlings.
But there are many millions of old
burns on the National Forests which
are waiting to be restocked, and some
quicker and cheaper method than the
actual planting of nursery grown
trees is urgently needed. Therefore
the foresters are making experiments
on a large scale with different meth
DDS of direct sowing and planting, and
most of the seed gathered last year
was obtained for this use.

of Agriculture Join in Annual Farm
ers' Day-Some Valuable Sugges-
tions.
The 25th annual field meeting of
the Patrons of Husbandry of New
Hampshire was held recently at
Hampton Beach, n. H. The Oranges
all over the state. some in eastern
Massachusetts and the state board of
agriculture cooperated with the
Changers in making the day a sue
cess. Some of the addresses contained
statements of such general interest
that we publish them,
Farmers Should Cooperate.
Ex-senator Chandler spoke on
Farmers Not Corporations" He said
in part
l. Farmers sell their products in
full competition and never in cOmbina-
ton with each other, or as part of
monopoly, and never receive more
than a small fraction of the prices
paid by the ultimate consumers.
II. The prospects of the farmers
are growing worse by reason OF the
organization of corporations dealing
in food products which destroy COM
petition, create food monopolies and
fix their own prices, making them low
to the producers and high to the con-
sumers-all as part of a vast modern
system of corporation monopolies, in
all departm of human industry
and huge private fortunes of the male
factors of great wealth, which system
as a part of it's plan is taking posses
sion of all politics and all government
state and national.
III. The remedy of the farmers
should be organization on their part
in connection with laborers and con-
sumers to destroy the evils of corpora
ton monopolies. Wherever compe-
tition cannot be secured by the re-
peal of monopolistic legislation there
should be complete government con-
troll and revelation of the corporation
monopolies and government pro-
lection of both producers and con-
SumerS; and to secure these ends the
control of the conventions and the
elections and of the Office holders must
be taken away from the money power
and returned to the people.
For this purpose the farmers, the
laborers and the consumers must CO.
operate by the organization of free
and unpurchased unions of citizens.
". The laws of congress and of
the state legislatures should forbid
capitalized industrial corporations and
railroad corporations to combine in
suppression of competition.
On the other hand, however, farm
ers' unions. labor unions and cOnsum-
ers' unions should be allowed to make
and maintain com binatiOnS to secure
to these classes respectively their just
rights to fair prices, and no eXtOrtiOn
in the ultimate prices to the consum-
ers.
The reason for this discrimination
is that corporations have in their own
ership and possession vast sums of
money-vast capital-While the farm
ers, the laborers and the consumers
have substantially none.
