ceeding last years entire shipments.
| On account of the scare last year over
| the German pine rust disease no more
pines will be imported from Europe.
! The orders thus far received have come
| from about forty different parties in
nearly as many different localities. The
southeastern part of the state bids fair
to remain in the lead in this work as
Mr.. Aitken now has a large supply of
home raised seedlings to plant on the
| Billings estate (these, of course, are not
included in the above hgure), and
Messrs. Woolson and Brown, who own
a large tract in Springfield. are to plant
10000 trees this year as modest
! starter. Several men in Brattleboro
who planted last year are continuing
| the work more extensively this year.
| Mr.. Hemenwav of Hartland, Mr.. Sawin
and Mr.. Waite of Windsor have each or
| dered ten thousand or more trees.
| Other parts of the state are also to be
| well represented. On the Montpelier
and Wells River line for example. besides
| the planting on the Plainfeld state
| forest, 10, 900 trees have been ordered by
club of gentlemen in Wells River;
Kicker Bros. of Kicker Mills have ordered
10000; Messrs. Laird and Rowland are
to plant 10000 on their land in Marsh
field, and Messrs. Rogers and Pemp of
Barre have ordered the same number.
In the northwestern part of the state
DR.. Stevens will probably be the most
extensive planter, having ordered d.
900 trees to plant on his property in
Enosburg, which he is managing under
plan prepared by the State Forest ser
vice. D. T. Hanley will also plant
10000 pines in the vicinity of Milton.
The International Paper Co. will con-
tinue their planting in Vermont as well
as other states, and have ordered large
supply of spruce from Germany.

Scared in West Danville.
L. N. Wood of Montpelier received a
bad fright while in West Danville the
other day. He saw a coffin boxed in
plain wood resting on truck at the rail-
road station and in idle curiosity read
the name. He looked the second time
and then had to grab the truck to save
falling. The name was the same as his
own IL. N. Wood and he would swear
that the handwriting was his. After
satisfying himself that he was still in the
land of the living by inquiring of the sta
ton agent what time the next train left
for St. Johnsbury, to make sure he was
still with us, he remained in town a little
longer and attended the funeral of his
namesake whom he learned was a civil
war veteran. Mr.. Wood buys work for
the New York granite company and was
in that town on one of his periodical
trips.
