in the very forefront of progressive
States, and at the same time fulfill the
wishes of the people.
Vermont should be enjoying the
benefits of objective farming, and Mr..
Fletcher is anxious to signalize his adj
ministration by the introduction of
object lessons, which will mean
greater productivity of our soil
Mr.. Fletcher believes it will be wise
economy for Vermont to adopt measures
to prevent the advent of those moths
and other pests, the warfare against
which has cost Massachusetts hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually for a
long time. He believes dollars worth
of prevention is better than a hundred
dollars worth of cure.
Another policy Mr.. Fletcher is anxious
to carry out is the promotion of the de-
velopment of the water power of the
State through competent engineering
cooperation with different communities,
and he believes this will mean new in
dustrial> progress as well as the en-
enlargement of summer tourists and
the development of additional home
markets.
This leads to another improvement in
service Mr.. Fletcher is anxious to see
inaugurated. At the present time chief
attention is paid to telling our,,farmers
how to produce and very little thought
is devoted to the matter of intelligent
and cooperative marketing. The agri-
cultural department has marked posi-
bilities in this direction that Mr..
Fletcher hopes to see materialize.
All of the above suggestions are very

DEEP CHARGES NOT
BEST IN BLASTING
BY ]. r. KADONSkY.

It has been found by placing a
charge at comparatively great depth,
as advocated by many, that 1t re-
quired q greater amount Of explosive
and the results obtained were not SO
satisfactory as when less powder was
used at less depth. The cost was
greater, the stump was not broken up
and freed from soil, and larger holes
were left to be filled, when the charge
was placed deep. This is due to the
fact that by placing the charge some
distance In the soil below the base Of
the stump, a large mass Of soil must
be raised. This serves as protection
to the stump, wasting that much en-
ergy. When an ordinary charge ia
deeply placed in clay soil, the result
is a pear-shaped hole in the soil and a
split stump through which the gases
escape like the one in Figure I.
In light sandy soil the gases tend
to blow out on either side Of the
stump between the roots when the
charge is deep. leaving the stump in
place as in Figure O. This is due to
the greater ease with which the force
can escape at some distance below
the base OF the stump where there is
a greater spread Of roots than farther
above.
Care should also be taken not to
place the explosive too shallow. II
the charge Is not deep enough and the

PROBABILITY POINTS
 TO AN ELECTION

We base the above heading on what usually happens in a case of this kind when a super for court judge renders decision and appeal is made to higher court.
 Briefly summed up the case is this: State Senator's H. A. Davis application for writ of injunction against Secretary of State, Sidney Osborn, to restrain him from sending out notices of a primary election to precede general election in November, was denied by Judge Phillips at Phoenix. The case was appeal ed to the supreme court.
 The same points that were made before Superior Judge Phillips, who declined to grant the injunction, were made before the supreme court. Other points were brought out and dwelt upon. When the arguments were concluded Chief Justice Franklin announced that the matter would be taken under advisement. The reports state that the judges may hand down a decision before the end of the week.

TALK OF PERFECTING
 A SOCIAL CLUB

Some of the local young men are talking of organizing a social club devoted to athletic and other amusements.
 A meeting night will be an- nounced in the near future at which time it is hoped to reach a method of perfecting an organ ization and appointing such con- mittees as may be deemed nec- essary by the meeting. The pro- moters of the plan have in mind a organization that would be inexpensive and would fur nish a meeting place for the younger men of the town and supply a basis of amusement. On odd evening boxing gloves or a punching bag or similar dew ices would help pass the even ings, while an occasional ball, or home talent play would be the big events and social attraction. The young men state that they now are lacking a common meet ing ground but that the organ ization of a social club would provide them with place that all would want to attend at least occasionally, if not constantly.
