ADVERTISE VERMONT OUTSIDE.

(From the ST Johnsbury Caledonian)
New Hampshire Is certainly getting
good results from it's farm Advertising
Ex-Gov. y. J. Bachelor secretary of
the board of agriculture says that over
400 New Hampshire farms were sold dur
ing the year 1910 to buyers from without
the State and that more than that num-
Der will be sold In 1911. large number
Of these purchasers are men of wealth
who will spend large amounts of money
in tho development of their property,
Speaking of them Richard Pattee, state
master OF the grange. says:
"A new agriculture is developing in
New Hampshire. In almost every farm
community may be found one or more
new farmers who have broken away
from the old traditions and are practic-
ing to a more or less degree and with
more or less success modern scientific
agriculture
This class of people Is properly re-
karded as most valuable addition to our
population. They are liberal. broad mind
cd and progressive. They are willing con-
tributors TO the support of our churches,
schools and worthy public enterprises.
Among them the forestry good roads,
clean politics and better farming move
inents have found willing and powerful
support"
rms demonstrates tho value of an In
telligent system of advertising for YER
mont Probably these newcomers are
bringing to New HAMPSHIRE all the ad-
Vantages enumerated above and are very
! desirable additions to the residents OF
| the STATE out we would prefer a system
| ~ advertising that would bring to Yer
! mont 200 permanent and progressive all
tie year around residents They would
lot bring 80 much money but more
stable and loyal class OF citizens ship which
we believe would be OF greater value than
.uere wealth. Vermont wants men to set
standards to which the average citizen
ship can aspire rather than men with
standards so high that but very few can
ever attain them.
