more profitable TO produce such ami

great thing if Vermont soil can be

But the man wishing to undertake
this kind OF development should be
informed concerning the financial re-
turns he can reasonably expect. There
has been enough of this work done in

now be obtained regarding its profit

have done these things would give
the public this information and if
possible convince men who are now
doubters of their ignorance. We
would be much pleased to print an

this.

Due Credit to Vermont

Vermont is like a big family. Its
interests are not so large that every
cannot have a correct understanding
voter, however humble his position,
of them and take an active part in
managing them. And that is just
what the voters as a rule do. They
can run the state and they do run it.
It's public men are from the people
and close to them. And they are
clean men, high minded men, men
who have the highest and best inter
ests of the state at heart and who
are doing efficient and patriotic work.
There will always be talk of graft
but there is practically none of it
in Vermont. Vermont will always be
safe If her citizens will take sufficient
interest in public affairs to-. attend
caucuses and vote on election day.
The greatest danger lies in the grow
ing Indifference to these duties.
When Vermont voters really interest
themselves in a public question they
can be depended upon to settle it
right. My association with the pub
lie men of the state has been of in
terest and pleasure and it is what
1 have seen of them close to, that
convinees me that Vermont interests
are safe.
The above is an excerpt from a
personal word written by Franklin
L. FISHER in closing two years labor
as editor of the Burlington Clipper
to take up work in another field. In
it Mr.. FISHER has spoken one of the
most moderate and honest tributes
to Vermont it has been our pleasure
to read in recent years. 1t reveals
the kind of a man Vermont Journal
ism is losing, the kind it can i'll
afford to spare, and coming as it
does after two years of close &C
quaintance with Vermont affairs and
men it's accuracy increases its value.
How different this talk is from some
that has been made in the recent
state campaign. How effectively it re-
Dukes the men who for political ad-
vantage have said discreditable and
dishonest things about their state
and their fellowmen. Coming as it
does when Mr.. FISHER is leaving the
state it is spoken without influence OF
selfish motive and every Vermonter
will feel grateful to him for this tri-
butte and wish him success in his new
field of work.

The Rutland News owes the public
a full and frank statement of its po-
sition. The Burlington Free Press
openly states thai the editorial writ
er of that paper attempted to secure
cash from Allen M. Fletcher for sup
porting his candidacy for the gov
ernorship and when Mr.. Fletcher
refused to enter into such an ar
arrangement threatened an exposure of
Mr. Fletcher 1t is certain the paper
has bitterly opposed Mn. Fletcher
throughout the whole campaign and
if it's opposition is based upon Mr..
Fletcher's refusal to use money for
corrupt political purposes the public
should know it. Vermonters will not
approve of this Find of newspaper
work. Whatever may be said against
Mr.. Fletcher it must be acknowledge
ed that he has demonstrated posi-
bility for a wealthy man to win poll
tical honor in Vermont without the
misuse OF his money.

President w. H. Taft in standing
firmly for a congressional budget in
which the income and expenditures
of the national government shall be
carefully given IS performing good
business service for the public. 1t
may not be so polite as it would
be to allow congress to appropriate
money wherever it thinks the money
would win votes but no business ad-
ministration of the government will
be possible until some president has
the courage to insist on it.

How Much Does This Farming Cost ?
Prof. Albert S. Cook of Yale Uni
versity is a summer resident of
Greensboro and ten years ago purz
chased a tract Of four and one half
acres of land on which to build
summer home and try out some of
the book theories of farming. His
success has been an encouraging one
so far as the development of the land
Is concerned. The land itself was
work as half of it was too wet and
the soil was very thin on the re-
mainder. But the professor began
doing things the books said should
be done. He drained the wet ground,
very thoroughly narrowed all the
ground and used free amount of
commercial fertilizer. When he be-
gan about two tons of inferior hay
was all the four and one-half acres
would produce bat now it produces
three tons of good hay per acre.
The professor has surely demon
strated that scientific and modern
methods will produce results but we
are not informed whether his work
has been profitable or Improbable.
The average farmer not only dis
trusts theories but believes that
shook farming don't pay" If Prof.
Cook, who has told of his success in
the New York Times, would now
publish in the Vermont press the
cost and the returns Of the develop
ment he has male he would be CIV
ing valuable information to the aver
sge farmer If such work is more
profitable than .he regular methods
of farming it should be made public
and it would increase the incentive
to more scientific effort on the part
of the common farmer.
This seems to US to be a serious
defect in the efforts to improve agri-
cultural life We all like to look at
the monstrous beef animal or the
highly developed dairy cow that win
the blue ribbons at the fairs They
are encouraging examples of success
full feeding and tender care. But
