poDGE's CREAMERY CORN CONTEST
Prizes Offered for Best Corn Grown by
Patrons of Creamery or Their Boys

l.. b. Dodge, the creamery man, is
sending to his patrons letter in which
he says: I'VE are told that corn is king
among farm crops. We believe that
should be as true in Vermont as any
other state in this Union. We believe
that as much or more corn to the acre
can be grown from the soil of these
Vermont hills and valleys than any 9TH
er part of the country, and that the
present yield per acre might easily be
increased fifty to one hundred per cent.
with only a small increase in cost, sim
ply by more careful selection of seed,
better preparation Of soil before plant
ing and more thorough cultivation dur
ing growth of crop"
To try and encourage the raising
of more and better crops of corn in
this vicinity, Mr.. Dodge offers two sub
stantial prizes for corn grown and ex
hibited under conditions stated below:
Glass /. To the farmer exhibiting the
best trace OF 10 ears eight rowed yellow
flint corn raised on his farm, we offer
free trip for himself, TO the Vermont
State Dairymen's convention in 1913.

TEACHERS RETIREMENT FUND.
A Plea for the Penny-Strip Plan of Rails
ing Money.

Sixteen pennies are one foot. Although
the women teachers OF the state do not
advocate this rule in their classes, their
present aim outside the schoolroom is
to convince the public that the meas.
urement is correct To this end, miles
and miles OF strips of paper, each foot
long, and each capable of holding six
teen shining, bright coppers, have been
prepared, the result 10 form a nucleus
Of working basis for a retirement fund
from the income Of which teachers who
have served the state in their high
minded calling for term of years
not less than twenty-five" may receive
q modest stipend for the balance of
their days.
We talk Vermont for Vermonters.
We say, keep the boys and girls at
home Why not keep the teachers in
Vermont along with the boys and girls
What better inducement than a retire
ment fund, raised through public sub
scription, if not appropriated by legis,
lative enactment, placing the education
al system OF the state upon a business
basis aud assuring the faithful servant
of the rising generation something of an
adequate compensation for her toll when
her term Of teaching strength shall be
over?
Through the Retirement Fund asso-
citation the teachers form body ca
pable of receiving funds. The penny
strip scheme is but one means to the
end in view, The sixteen pennies that
fill one strip are scarcely more than the
price Of a cigar and penny newspaper
or of few ice cream sodas. The teach
ers have set this problem to the Yer
mont public;
IF there are sixteen pennies to
foot and every foot is step nearer the
Better Vermont are you interested
enough to contribute and, if so, how
many paper strips will you take?" The
answer is not to be found in the back
Of the book II rests with the public
to work it out for itself.
