lunches will be served at the corn show,
proceeds to go to some worthy local
cause.
Many additional prizes have been Of
fered for best ears of red corn, corn
show posters, slogans, mottos and
school displays. Oranges are getting
into shape to compete for the big prize
offered by the Windsor business men
and the corn show committee. Owing
to the many expenses in connection
with the corn show a small admission
charge is to be made.

Two hundred and sixty acres of water
melons are what farmer in south
western Kansas planted last summer,
and his neighbors planted almost as
many, says the Yonths Companion.
Since they are fifty miles from a rail
road, they did not send the melons to
market, but crushed them for the seed,
to be sold to seed houses and for use in
the manufacture of medicine. Some of
the melon planters made syrup from
the juice, and finding it so good are
planning to boil the juice of all their
melons next year and putting the syrup
on the market along with the seeds.
There seems to be nothing the matter
even with that part of Kansas which
the railroads have not reached.

The Tribune-Farmer of recent date
contains the following interesting edi-
toral on the apple growing industry
in Vermont and the exhibits at the horti-
cultural meeting held at Montpelier
recently:
"The recent meeting of the Vermont
Horticultural Society at Montpelier is
noteworthy because it brings forcibly to
our attention the great awakening of
its agricultural opportunities which is
going on all over New England. In
Vermont especially the spirit Of progress
seems to be spreading rapidly. The
Montpelier meeting was third larger
than it had ever been before, and the
show of fruit was the greatest ever
seen in that state. Vermonters appear
never to have thought that such fine
apples could be grown on their hills
until they saw them on the exhibition
tables. They forthwith arose and said:
"Let US grow apples" So they fol-
lowed the addresses given at the meet
ing very closely, studied the exhibits
and asked questions. 1t is safe to say
that those present who have orchards
already went home to give them better
care and that those who have not went
home determined to plant. Such has
been the result of brief campaign for
better fruit in conservative Vermont
Although we had not the pleasure
of being there in person, we are told
that much the same, only more of it,
was true of the New England Fruit
Show at Boston. A few men have so
well demonstrated New England's pos
sibilities in this direction that many
men are now ready and anxious to take
up the calling.
Fright here seems to us good place
for a note of warning. We are not
afraid of an reproduction of apples,
despite the extremely heavy paintings
of the last decade We believe there
will always be a good demand for we'll
grown, high-quality products of all
kinds. But we are afraid of plungers
and spectators. There is too much
speculation in farm land and farm
products already. The most stable
agriculture is that founded upon con-
servative business principles. We think
that the man who goes into the grow
ing of apples on the basis of the present
high prices, and expecting to make a
fortune, will be badly disappointed 1t
appears to US that there is plenty of
danger of overcapitalzation and plenty
of danger of poor judgment in the
choice of varieties and of conditions in
which to grow them. We believe that
those men who are so situated that they
can produce the best apples the most
cheaply will be the successful growers
of the future, and that, vice versa, those
who cannot do either will fail. This is
a good place for conservatism and for
careful counting of the cost and the
probable chances of success"

Somewhat novel efforts are being
made in western Massachusetts to
prevent the killing of human beings
during the present open season for
deer hunting, says the Barre Times.
One of them takes the form of a sign
warning, eight feet by six feet in size
and placed at conspicuous location near
the railroad station at West Brimfield.
This sign reads
Deer Hunters: Stop, look, listen
and know what you are shooting at. :"
Such a warning modelled after the
familiar Look out for the engine"
sign, is rather sure to attract attention,
but there is this shortening of the
effort, that it is impossible to place
signs of that description at all the
points where danger turks. However,
the efforts at West Brimfield, which,
we understand, were made by an individ-
ual on his own responsibility, are well
made and doubly so if other enterpris-
ing persons or communities should see
fit to copy the idea. Of course, the
signs are intended merely for temporary
position; and for that reason no objec-
ton could be made to them on the
ground that they disfigure the land
scape. But even if objection were
made, what is landscape to human
lives?

With the approach of winter, with
its cold and its snow and its storms,
the football and the baseball are
laid away and the allurements of
outdoor life are decreased very largely,
the young people who are in school
should realize that now is the time for
them to put in their best work of the
school year. There are, or should be,
fewer distractions from school work
during the winter months when warm
weather makes outdoor life more at
tractive. There are to be long winter
evenings at home or in the school
dormitory, when studying can be done
to the Disadvantage, with the mind not
loaded with thoughts of football, base
ball, automobilng and other features of
active life in the open. No better use
can be made of those evenings than to
spend a certain length of time each
evening with books. 1t needs not be

desirable that all the attention be CEN

more diversified reading be followed,
