not mention It, but it presumably is
awake to the fact that in special
session OF the legislature its candi-
date for the goyernorship would
have splendid opportunity to "streng-
then" his fences. -Rutland News
This attempt on the part of the
News to befog the editorial sugges-
tions of this paper relating to the
railroad situation by charging
political game is the last form OF
opposition to the ideas advanced the
editor expected. We do not see how
a special session of the legislature
would be of special benefit to the
possible gubernatorial candidate
from st. Johnsbury In. the first
place another aspirant would be
member of the legislature and have
just as ogod an opportunity as any
one to strengthen fences. If
any advantage could come TO the
St Johnsbury man it would simply
| be because the other candidate did
all he could to that end during the
Irregular session while the st. Johns
bury man refused to use his official
position as n political weapon. Sec
ondly the St Johnsbury man does
not need any special sessions to cor
Irect political records. He has had
legislative experience and met tests
so well that further tests are un-
necessary.
AS to the main issue of what shall
be done in the railroad dispute, We
do not advocate special session il
the railroads will settle the Brat
tleboro dispute within a reasonable
time. But we do not think the state
should wait for the competing com
lpanies 10 settle all their differences
at outside points before having JUS
tice done within its borders. II Is
apparent that the New York. New

tends to have a direct service be-

During the past few weeks The
Banner has spent some time in study
ing early Bennington county history
and from various references of the
early records there seems reason to
believe that the first settlement in
Bennington county was in the town
of Pownal near what is now North
Pownal. Mr.. ]. K Batchelder who
has recently delivered two historical
orations relating to Bennington coun-
ty history has also arrived at the
same conclusion. While there was
no organized settlement there 1t
seems to be practically certain that
when the first settlers came up
through to Bennington there were al
ready four or five families living in
the western part OF Pownal. These
families doubtless came in from the
Hudson valley for their names were
Dutch. Just how long they had been

emily for several years. The Banner
would welcome a discussion OF the
subject from any person interested II

In a very interesting and ~aluable
editorial this week the White River
Junction Landmark speaks of the
prospect this fall of an abundant crop
Of nuts, including beech-nuts, butter
nuts and hazel-nuts The Landmark
article presents a most interesting
suggestion. These nuts and also the
chestnut and the hickory-nut in some
sections of the state grow wild and
need no care. yet the crop they yield
is always marketable at good prices
Why should not the waste places OF
Vermont be planted to nut trees and
furnish an income with comparative
lly little expenditure OF labor. Those
of us who we're brought up on New
England farms know how thriitily the
butternut win cling to a rocky hill
side. an old fence corner and along
the side Of a highway. The beechnuI
is more particular and will not flour
ish in such a variety OF places and
is less sure cropper but where II
will grow It makes a beautiful and
valuable tree not only because OF It's
nuts but for its timber value. The
hazel.nut grows on mere bush and
Is generally modest in its habits but
| the nut is one OF the choicest and
there are never enough TO supply the
demand. The hazel.nut also has an
lother advantage for IL will come into
bearing almost as quickly as a cur
rant or gooseberry bush. The chest
nut and hickory will thrive only on
limited areas In Vermont but where
they will grow they will furnish a
crop as valuable as an apple or peach
orchard and at much less expense
All things considered the butternui
is doubtless the best of the Vermont
nuts from a commercial standpoint
The tree when young is very rapid
grower and In the back towns of Yer
mont where land is not suited to cul
tivaiion and not high In price there
is no question that butternut or
chard would prove a most profitable
property.
