SHOWS VALUE OF IRRIGATION
Records Show That Crop Yield Last
Year Was Best Ever Experienced
by lrrigators.

The valuation of irrigation as safe
producer of crops was emphasized
particularly by the crops Of 1910. So
far as records show last year was the
best year ever experienced by the
farmers who are farming on govern
ment projects. Many Of the crop yields
reported for 1910 are regarded as phe-
nomenal.
AS another evidence Of the growing
opinion in favor of irrigation, the
movement of settlers westward goes
steadily on, there being yet good op-
portunities to obtain an irrigated farm
under one Of the governments big
canals. There are now several hun
dred farms open to American citizens.
These are located in different sections

cheap land-or gift land-must give
way before the new generation. The
newcomer, the man who would estab-
lish himself as a farmer today, has to
meet the changed conditions. and It
is to these conditions that the bust
ness of farming must respond. The
question of fixed capital has come to
stay. We are not yet out of our first
generations as farmers on a grand
scale. This first generation is taking
its hand from the pillow. and those
who follow the pioneers, either
through deed Of sale or probate. must
hereafter reckon interest on invest
ment as an actual item of cost. Farm
ing as an industry is in its transit
tional stage. and it is to meet the
new conditions in businesslike way
that experts have been giving their
attention to the question of devising
a system of cost accounting for the

The Hereford breed of cattle is
among the chief beef breeds in this
country. They are believed to have
been first imported into the United
States by Henry Clay in 1917. They
mature as ccrly as the Shorthorns
and are nearly as large. The quality
of their meat is good and they possess
excellent breeding qualities.

It is often stated that pullet eggs
are less unsuitable for Matching than
those from old hens. but Professor At

case, especially after the pullets have

Bra ch-VaiI.

A very pretty wedding occurred We'd
nesday noon, September 20, at the
home of Hon. H. d. Branch, Main
street, wher his youngest daughter,
Laura Emma, was united in marriage
to John Herrick Vail. The rooms were
beautifully decorated with running
pine, ferns and cut flowers. The arch
in the parlor, which was made of ever
green studded with white asters and in
the center of which hung a white we'd
ding bell, where the ceremony took
place, was especially pretty.
AT the appointed hour as the strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march
sounded from the piano, played by Mrs.
L. F. Lille, the bridal couple entered
the room. Mrs. Ella Clark, sister of
the bride, acted as matron of honor and
l. j. VAIL. brother of the groom, as
best man. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. j. C. Williams. The
bride was beautifully gowned in an en-
broidered light blue silk with a veil
which was caught in her hair with
orange blossoms. She carried a bou-
quet of white roses. The matron of
honor was gowned in an embroidered
light gray silk and carried bouquet of
pink roses. After congratulations, re-
freshments were served. Many beau
tiful gifts of china, silver and linen
were received, and also a purse of $50
in gold from telephone subscribers,
which was doubly appreciated for the
sentiment it expressed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vail left on the after
noon train for Montreal amid a shower
of rice. Upon their return they will
make their home in Orwell Both Mr..
and Mrs. Vail are among our most es-
teemed young people and the best
wishes of host of friends attend them.

On that glad day so long ago
When their hearts with love were all aglow,
As in fancy they gazed down the vista of
And dreamed that their lot would be Joy, not
tears.
No cloud marred their vision so bright,
But dreams of happiness burst on their sight
They were married in Sharon, so I am told;
The house is still standing, though now rather
old.
And for to the South for their honeymoon,
To the State of Florida they went soon;
And they surely found much to please them
there
In that land of flowers and fruit so rare.
Two years they lived in that land so fair
And then their work seemed to call else
where.
Far to the West they went their way,
And though at first twas hard to stay
They found that there, as everywhere,
There was need of work, and some one to
care.
In other States they have labored well,
But m sure 'twould take too long to tell
OF all the places where they have striven
To show Others the way Is heaven.
But methinks that they find after travelling
around
There's no better place than Vermont to be
found.
The rare, sweet time of youth has flown,
But still we see happy home,
And many blessing has frightened their
path,
And many token of mercy, not wrath;
Three children to love them the good God
has given,
And for their welfare the parents have
striven.
Through all these years along life's rough
road
They have travelled together and worked for
God;
Faithfully labored and faithfully prayed,
And given their best for the Masters aid,
And what is better than to live like this,
Trusting in God and doing our best?
Tonight we have gathered in this their home
70 show our appreciation Of what they have
done,
Since three years ago to this town they came.
And we know that their work has not been
IN vain,
For we all can say with words most true,
That they have tried their best to do.
Though we've often failed to do our part,
We have known full well that the pastor
heart
Was in his work and that he tried
70 keep us near the Masters side,
So we come with wishes good and true,
For his best welfare and good wlfes too.
Then let us not wait till they're dead and
gone
To show them we're thankful for what
they've done,
But give them now while they work with us
Our loyal support and perfect trust,
So that at last with them we can say,
We have lived and worked for the right each
day. Miss GLADYS HAMLIN.

CATARRH SUFFERERS
IF You Don't Know About Hyomei
Try 1t at w. b Sh g Id on's Risk.

Nearly every reader of the Middebury
Register has read about HYOMEI, but
many of them continue to suffer from
catarrh just because they do not exactly
understand Just what HYOMEI is.
TO these sufferers w. II. Sheldon says
you don't have to know anything about
HNOMEI except that you breathe it and
that it does not contain cocaine or opium
or any harmful drug.
You can find out all about HYOMEI
without taking any chances whatever.
Just get an outfit today, read the simple

if you are not willing to say that it is the
best remedy for catarrh you have ever
used w. H. Sheldon will gladly return
your money.

BurIinaton Merchants Week.

Burlington is to have another Mer-
chants week. The first one was last
May and it was successful beyond all
hopes. The second one will be held
during the first week in October, from
the End to the 18th. 1t will be a trade
event pure and simple. No side shows,
no special catch-penny schemes. In
brief it will be trade event in which
about all the stores of the city will par
ticipate. Special bargains are adver-
tised and as a further inducement car
fare will be paid on purchases of $25. 90
or over for distance of 100 miles.
This is particularly good time to
visit the city. The stocks of the stores
are new and complete, embracing the
fall and winter styles, which the women
especially will naturally want to see at
first hand and at an early date. Every
body has trading to do and it is good
common sense to do it when special
prices are quoted and car fare is paid.

Just twenty five years since side by side
Together they entered the portals wide,
And said the VOWS that made them one
To work together till life was done.
