May Affect Contracts.

1t is pointed out ty local shippers
that some of them have entered into
special contracts with the railroads
regarding the switching of cars, and
they are ip no wise certain of the ac-
tion which the railroads will take re-
garding these contracts, which involv-
ed rates considerably smaller than
the rates imposed under the recent
order of the railroad commission.
Since they have not had sufficient
time in which to get together and dis
cuss the increased rates thoroughly
among themselves, the shippers feel
hesitancy in making statements for
publication, and all of them are await
ing developments.
THE new rates are unjust and
excessive" said a well-known whole.
sale grain dealer Thursday afternoon.
This increased switching charge will
mean about $4,000 annually to At.
lanta shippers alone, and is a radical
increase over the old rate of 50 per
car which has been in effect for SO
long and which has appeared until
very recently to give satisfaction to
all parties concerned.

persfs y majority OF t,em at least
are Pr Ioughiy dissatisfied with the
ineraSed switching charges as put
into effect few days ago by the
Georgia railroad commission.
TIE shippers declare tcat the rates
are excessive, unreasonable and un.
just" and constitute radical in
crease over the rate which has pre-
vailed for mcre than 20 years and
which amounts, so they contend, to
an increase of 100 per cent, and in
one case TO 159 per cent over the old
rate of 50 per car.
The announcement of the new rate
ty the commission followed a hearing
on the petition filed by the shippers of
the state against the proposed in
crease by the railroads from So to
approximately s. per car on each car
handled within the switching limits.
The shippers contend that the old
rate CT 81 per car was reasonable
and just, and they protested vigor-
ously against any increase whatever
and especially against the large in
crease proposed by the railroads. In
the decision of the railroad commits
sion the shippers feel that to all in
tents and purposes they have lost
their case, and that it flas resulted
in a victory fer the railroads.

Local Shippers to Meet.

1t has been reported that the local
shippers will hold meeting at an
early date to consider the rates put
into effect by tue commission and to
protest against the enforcement OF
these rates. If such protest were
sufficiently strong, it might possibly
result in. a rehearing by the commits

ton has held no meeting, but it is
understood that when a meeting is
held the question of the increased
rates will be brought up for a discus

is 120 acres Only a little more than
half of the Vermont farms, or SO per
cent, are free of incumbrance, while
three fourths> or 10 per cent Of New
Hampshire farms are not mortgaged.
The summer tourist business may eX-
plain, in part, at least the greater pros
perity of New Hampshire in this respect.
Our expenditures for farm labor exceed
that of New Hampshire by $1,399,000 and
we pay 100000 more for fertilizer each
year.
Taking q Western state, Michigan, for
comparison, the number of farms is more
than six times greater than that of Yer
mont, but the size of the average farm
Is 80 acres, while in our own state 1t Is
143 acres. The average value per acre OF
farm lands and buildings Is SAG, and the
average value of farm land alone Is $24
per acre. The gain in the value or farm
land and buildings was 81 per cent; in
farm land alone. As per cent; In farm
buildings alone, 70 per cent; and in farm
implements and machinery, 70 per cent
The difference between Michigan and
Vermont values Is rather striking. AS
already stated the average value per
acre of farm land and buildings is SAG In
Michigan and 1922 in Vermont, and the
average value per acre of farm land alone
Is $32 in Michigan and $40 in Vermont
There ought not to be such a difference,
led In the light of the report given by
the department of agriculture in the
December Crop Reporter, 1t will be
seen by the above mentioned publication
that during the past year the yield per
acre of corn in Vermont was 40 bushels
and the price per bushel December l was
&c cents; Michigan's average yield was
32.4 bushels and the price December l
was SO cents per bushel. The average
yield of oats in Vermont was 41,15
bushels per acre, and the price per bushel

shows an average yield of "a bushels per

VERMONT IN COMPARISON.

A few days ago the Journal published
Vermonts agricultural statistics as
shown by figures compiled by the census
bureau. Yesterday similar statistics for
New Hampshire were published and it
will be found interesting to make some
comparisons, partly because New Hamp-
shire is our next door neighbor and part
ly because there is not much difference
in the area of the two states. The num-
Der of farms in New Hampshire is 26, 913,
decrease in the past decade of 2i11.
The number in Vermont is S2,59S. a de-
crease in the same period of SOC. showing
that Vermont exceeds in number of farms
by $685.
In total value of farm land and build
ings Vermont exceeds New Hampshire by
s16,271 900. In total value Of farm lands
we lead our eastern neighbor by $3,414,-
900, and in farm buildings by the greater
sum OF $12,S57 900, In the value of farm
buildings, a very tangible evidence of
prosperity, during the past ten years
Vermont shows much larger gain than
New Hampshire, $16,S14,000 compared
with $780, 00 The value of Vermont's
farm implements and machinery is nearly
double that of New Hampshire, or s1O,-
1862, 900 compared with S5,S70,000, and the
gain during the decennal period has been
$2,62i 900, while that of New Hampshire
was only 100000.
There is another phase of the subject
in which Vermont does not show to such
good advantage. The value of our farm
lands alone is only AZ per cent of the
total value, while in New Hampshire it
Is SO per cent. The average value per
acre of farm lands and buildings across
the Connecticut river is $26 and in our
own state 1922, showing an average gain
for our neighbor of 81 per acre, contrast
ed with our gain of 81 per acre. The
value per acre of farm land alone in New
Hampshire is $14, a gain of 81 per acre
during ten years, while Vermonts aver
age value per acre Is only $40, just what
1t was In 1900.
Both states show a smaller acreage.
that of New Hampshire being 3242, 900, a
decrease of 26S,OOO and Vermont 1853
0O0 a decrease of 1900. The average
size of the Vermont farm is 143 acres

cember l was So cents per bushel and in
Michigan it was 6S cents. The average
yield of buckwheat per acre was "a BUSH
els in Vermont and 1873 in Michigan. The
Vermont price on December l was 20
cents per bushel and the Michigan
price was 60 cents. The average yield
per acre of potatoes in Vermont was 1870
bushels and in Michigan it was 105
bushels. The Vermont price per bushel
December l was As cents and the Michi-
gan price was 81 cents. The average
yield of hay per acre in Vermont was
1875 tons and 100 tons in Michigan. The
price per ton December l was $124O in
Vermont and 1880 in Michigan.
1t will be seen that in every instance
the yield per acre of crops in Vermont
exceeded the Michigan yield and that
in every instance cited with the excep-
ton OF hay the Vermont prices were ma
terially larger than those paid in Michi-
gan. Such figures are very significant
and "on the face of the returns" would
seem to indicate that Vermont farm val
ues are too low and that there are better
opportunities for farmers to make money
here than in the West. Who says that
there is not a brilliant future for agri-

Be very circumspect in the choice of
thy company. In the society of thine
equals thou salt enjoy more pleasure;
in the society of thy superior thou shalt
find more profit; to be the best in the
company Is the way to grow worse; the
best means to grow better is to be the
worst there.
If thou hope to please all. thy hopes
are vain; If thou fear to displease some,
thy fears are idle: The way to please
myself is not to displease the best; and
the way to displease the best. is to please
the most; If thou canst fashion myself
to please all, thou shalt displease him that

Deliberate long before thou consecrate

A face with lots of sun in it,
A merry tongue with merry chaff,
And quip with lots of fun in it,
If trouble comes, and trouble will,
When others make a guest of 1t,
Keep on a smiling face, and still,
Strive on and make the best of it.
