A JEREMIAH ON APPLE GROWING.

1t is with a good deal of surprise that
New England fruit growers have read
the declaration made by ]. II. Hale OF
Glastonbury, Conn, in recent issue of
the Fruit Trade Journal, that peach
planting and peach growing have been so
greatly overdone, especially in the South.
that there is no longer any profit in
growing the crop, and that apple growing
is now going the same way. Mr.. Hale
is known the country over as the peach
king" and for a long term of years he
has been telling everybody to plant
peaches, and has consistently followed
his own advice, while in later years he
has been equally strenuous in advocating
the planting of apples. In the article
referred to he rays there are already ten
| million too many peach trees in the
Southern states and that Connecticut and
New York are largely over planting. OF
the apple industry he says:
Everybody is preaching and planting
apples. Nurserymen are turning out
trees by the million Railroad promoters
and land boomers are tempting more out
of the city to their doom in an apple
orchard. Land in the far West is selling
at 10 to 20 times its actual value, with
apples selling at not more than so a box
at the home station. The Virginias and
New England are just starting on
their apple dance. This, with the West
about to put wet cloth on it's swelled
head, looks to me like a great old spree
that will take a long time to sober up.
1t looks to me as if the whole ap-
pie industry in a few years will be down
where the peach business is today"
Ever since the present boom in apple
planting began we have recognized the
possibility that the business may be over
done, but Mr. Hale's present preachment
has a sound as if he might have had
rather bad touch of indigestion when it
was written. In our own view the
greatest danger in apple planting is that
many thousands of dollars will be sunk
in planting orchards that are not prop
erly taken care of, and which, from
| neglect, never come into profitable bear
| ing. We have always argued that no man
of small or moderate means should go
! into apple planting on a large scale
without first carefully counting the cost
and knowing what it means in money and
care and hard work to bring an orchard
to maturity and profitable bearing. But
we still think that one of the best things
a Vermont farmer can do today is to
| plant such number of apple trees, of
wisely chosen varieties, as he can prop
ery and surely care for, and we believe
that, one year with another, his trees
will prove one of his surest sources of
cash revenue, while they will add a per-
manent value to his land which cannot
be secured in any other way

According to the Boston Herald the
great railroad war which is attracting sc
much attention throughout New England
began with the New Haven's refusal to
transfer to the Grand Trunk the New
York, Ontario & Western, when the
Canadian road made a liberal offer for
it. The New Haven could not have done
this without giving offence to the New
York Central, which did not want the
Grand Trunk as so close a competitor
in its field. The Canadian road
wanted to get into New York by one of
the existing lines, without going to the
expense of new construction, and espec-
tally of new terminals. The thwarting OF
its plans thus opened the struggle which
is now moving merrily on.

The provisions of the law enacted by
the last legislature providing that town
officers shall be chosen from among the
legal voters, not inhabitants or citl-
zens, will mean that women who have
filled the position of town clerk effici-
emily will be barred from office. The
law for the election of officers now pro-
vides that choice shall be made in the
following order: Moderator, clerk, school
director for three years, lister for three
years, selectman for three years, road
commissioner or commissioners, overseer
of the poor collector of taxes, trustee
or trustees of public money, treasurer,
three auditors, one or more grand ju-
rors, first constable and If necessary a
second constable, town agent, tree
warden.

Rev. William Orne White, who died at
his home in Brookline, Mass, ON Fri
day of last week, aged 80 years, was
one of the oldest ministers of the Uni
tartan denomination, lie was native
of Salem, Mass, and was a graduate of
Harvard college and of the Harvard
divinity school. He was ordained to the
ministry in 1S4S, and the active work of
his life was done as the minister of the
Unitarian church in Keene, N. H., to
which he was called in 1851, and where
he remained until 1878. His work there
was successful in the truest sense. The
church was strong and active and held
a leading place in the denomination, but
1t was in his intimate and devoted per-
sonal relations, not only with his own
people, but throughout the whole COM
munty, that his influence was most
strongly felt. His generous sympathy
knew no bounds, and his genial out
reaching spirit left an impress which
can never be effaced, and which is now
recalled with reverent affection.

danger lies in not getting out the vote.
Brattleboro tried the open saloons two

they were willing to see the experiment
of license tried. The result was dis
graceful conditions. Brattleboro can be
kept in the no-license column, and and
that means kept comparatively clean if
the men who are opposed to the return
of the saloons will come out to do their
duty. 1t is a time when each individual
citizen should make himself count one.

Accepting the vote of the last election
as a mandate, the Democratic Senate in
Maine has adopted a resolution resubmit-
ting to the people the constitutional ar
ticle for prohibition of the liquor traffic.
To obtain the two-thirds required for
concurrence in the House of Representa-
tives it will be necessary for IA Republi-
cans to vote with the Democrats, assum-
ing that the latter are Favorable to resub-
mission. This cooperation is said to be
probable. Maine was the pioneer in the
prohibition movement, with legislation
enacted in 1876. In 1851 the Neal Dow
law went into effect providing for the
seizure and destruction of Intoxicating
liquors. Ever since, with the exception
of the years 1856 and 1857, the sale of
liquor has been illegal in Maine, although
the law has frequently been grossly vio-
lated

The fees from liquor license were for
merly divided between the town voting
yes and the state. Now the total amount
goes into the state treasury. The ar
gument that the liquor licenses will help
pay the taxes is therefore without force.
If Brattleboro votes yes at the coming
town meeting it will do so because it
wants saloons, and not for the purpose
of helping the town treasury and lessen
ing taxation.
