Our Agricultural Record.

The Crop Reporter, issued by the de-
partment Of agriculture, in its October
issue shows that on Sept l the condi-
tion of the corn crop in Vermont was 80
per cent. compared with an average of
70.3 for the United States, and ten
year average Of SO for this state. The
states that exceeded Vermont's standing
were Maine, New Hampshire, Tonnes
see, Utah, Idaho and California, only
six out of the forty-eight states.
Nermont's yield of spring wheat per
acre was 27s bushels. This was sur
passed by only two states, Nevada with
35l bushels aud Idaho with % bushels.
South Dakota's average was 4 bushels,
that of Kansas Az bushels and that OF
North Dakota So bushels When Yer
mont can raise almost seven times as
much per acre as South Dakota and
Kansas the movement OF home seekers
westward ought to be checked.
Vermont's yield per acre Of oats in
1917 was 35s bushels This was sur
passed by Maine, Ma ssachusetts. Mon
tana, New Mexico. Arizona, Utah, Ne
vada, Idaho and Washington. The only
states that surpassed Vermont in the
Weld Of barley were those Of the far
west. No state IN the Union surpassed
Vermont in the condition Of buckwheat,
although Maine and New Hampshire re-
ported the same percentage. The eondi-

tion of Vermont apples was below the
national average and that of the North
Atlantic states. II is rather surprising
to hear that the condition of grapes in
Vermont on Sept. was 80 per cent,
the highest OF any in the Union. Ne
vada's percentage was 95 and no other
state ranked above 92. Although the
condition of apples was below the aver
age in this state. only Montana exceed
ed Vermont's rank in pears. The condi-
ton of cabbages in this state was the
best of any in the whole country and
only Utah and California reported better
tomatoes. Vermont's average Oct
for all crops was 1902 compared with
an average of S6.7 for the United
States.
This state it will be seen, ranks very
high in the production of crops, being
is another illustration Of the truth that
in yield per acre Vermont outranks most
Of the big farming states Of the West.
We need to make more of these facts,
TO publish them broadcast so that the
people Of the United States will realize
that Vermont is a better farming state
than the western country.
1t is very gratifying, to know that
the figures for 1911 maintain the high
record established for Vermont in 1910.
If this can be done two years in sue
cession. with this year period of I'M
usual drouth, there ought to be no
skepticism regarding the remarkable fer
tility Of our soil and our great agricul-
tural possibilities. 1t IS important that

turing industries, and the summer tour.

College Pitcher Exposes Cheat.

Few clubs attempt to gain adyan-
tage by frightening or shortening the
pitching distance" says Hugh S. Full
lerton, the baseball expert, writing on
''The Right and Wrong of Baseball" in
the October American Magazine. "Pe-
culiarly enough, that is unsportsman-
like in this odd code Of ethics, and the
team trying it IS scorned by all Others
The quickness with which the trained
player detects any shortening or length
ing of the pitching distance also acts as
detriment to such work. In one case
pitcher for the Boston club stepped
onto a slab pitched two fast balls
stopped the game ard announced that
the distance was short. The umpire
secured a steel measure and discovered
that the pitchers plate had been moved
forward twenty two inches The pitch
er had detected the change in pitching
twice.
George Huff, leader of the perennial
Western Collegiate championship team
of the university of Illinois. uncovered
an effort of that kind at rival col
lege. He was on the bench while his
pitcher was warming up and saw the
curve break at the plate instead Of in
front of it, and exposed the trick, the
pitchers plate being over two feet too
near"

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Naughty Marietta" at Barre Opera
House Next Friday.

Announced as Broadway's newest,
brightest and most captivating comic
opera, Naughty Marietta" by Victor
Herbert and Rida Johnson Young, will
play an engagement OF one night at the
Barre opera house on Friday, Oct. %.
The play is presented by Oscar Ham

Of New Orleans as it was in the year
1880 The first scenes is moss-grown
square in this Louisiana town by candle
light, early morn stragglers, lamp ex-
tinguishers, street sweepers, curb bar
Der, girls, pirates, soldiers and song.
The second scene is a quadroon ball,
with its slave sale Of jealous favorites,
its dancing, its operate numbers and
many other beauties
Herbert's music Is said to be rich in
harmony. the ensembles inspiring and in
wide range of tempos, and the solo
numbers so pretentious that they are far
above the cheap tunes of the average
musical comedy.
The romantic book, by Rida Johnson
Young, is direct and interesting love
story in which the hero is an American,
captain OF the forest rangers; the hero
inc countess, who has crossed the At
lantic runaway; and the william who,
when time hangs heavy on his hands,
roams the seas as a pirate. The action
is at times almost melAdramatic.

sent the piece are, Miss Florence Weber.

rick Major, Mr.. John Cardo, Mr. Sid

er this they are bent and fastened to
iron frames They are then put into
dry kiln and subjected TO great heat.
Four hundred of these snaths are bent
in day. Now they are being shipped
before finishing but later machines for
finishing will be installed and the fin
ished product turned out here. The
lumber used in making these scythe
snaths is ash. This makes a good mar

BEST WORK YET DONE IN THE
Big SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST
FORGED TO THE FRONTBRILLNT DISPLAY OF PRIZES is ENOUGH
TO MAKE ANY One GET BUSY

Every contestant in The Times-Re-
corder's Great Subscription Contest is
busiIy at work to win. 1t required two
or three weeks for things to get into
good running order. Now everything
is going as regularly and systematical-
ly as a clock.
The next time the list Of contestants
is published it will hold a good many
surprises. There will be shifting of
the position of the various contestants
which shows that lively work has been
done during the past week all along
the line.
Contestants who heretofore had
hardly gotten into the race have gar
nered vo es right and left and viii
stand right up in the front ranks. This
proves conclusively that the fact that
one has hesitated to enter the race un-
til after it is we'll begun has nothing
to do with ones chances to win.
AS this is true now, it Will be just
as true later on. The winners in ey-
cry big subscription contest like that
of The Times-Recorder have oftener
than otherwise been nearly the very

last to enter. This should prove of
more encouragement to those think
ing of entering the race than any other
one thing. In one or two large sub
scription contests held recently the
winners did not enter until two or
three weeks before the close.
1t should be sufficient encourage
ment for any one who sees the bril-
liant display of prizes in the window
of Fricker's jeweIry store to enter the
contest at once, This display of ex-
quisite jewelry of the finest quality
and workmanship is enough to con-
vince any one that the prizes offered
by The Times-Recorder are just as
they have been described and are well
worth working for.
The reputation and business sand
ing of the leading jewelry firms of
Americus stand back of the guarantee
of The Times-Recorder that only the
finest and best jewelry that can be OBJ
tanned will be given in the contest.
Whether you are a contestant or not,
don't fail to take a peep at the array
of prizes now on display If you are
not already in it will bring you in.
