DEGENERATION OF VERMONT.

(From the st. JohnsburY Calcdonian)
We have already stated and it is gem
orally understood that Vermont has "A
serious rural problem. The small towns
have been losing population steadily for
the past - years while the larger towns
have been making q slightly larger
growth. The depletion of rural popula-
ton ha.. Slapped the rural sections of IA
large proportion of their bcst life and in
creased the proportion Of lower grade
of citizenship This we believe is the re-
suit Of the teaching that the smaller COM
munities possessed no opportunities
worthy OF the best grade of citizenship
and that these desirable people must go
else where if they would succeed. 1t has
been held that there was nothing in the
small towns except farming and farming
did not pay As a result the people have
been going away 10 find something that
would pay"
Evidently the real problem for Vermont
is to find something to be done at Il
profit in these diminishing communities
and then educate the residents how to do
il at profit. The towns and cities are
already growing ana If we can get the
small towns TO growing, Vermont will
make real progress. One man in dis
GUESSING this problem has advocated the
bringing in of new industries to fur
nish employment to idle hands. This
would be good so far as ii Is profitable
but the territory in which it would he
I profitable is limited. The day of small
industries catering to a small home mar
/ ket Is forever gone. Much of the water
power of the State that Is idle can never
| he applied tn small mills again The only
| practical use for them is to develop cleo
/ trio power that can he conducted to the
| villages and farms for use. That does
not mean large growth because its de-
velopment requires but a small force OF
men,
We must turn to some resource The
small town possesses in large enough
quantity to probably employ a large
number of people. That resource Is land.
| In none of the small towns Is the land
developed to its creates production and
much of it that would yield profit is
idle. Much Of the land that has been UNI
profitable under the old method of land
robbing could be made profitable If in
tellGently cultivated. The most serious
need of the small community Is an in
! telliecnt system or FARMING, more
/ thorough knowledge of what the land re-
quires TO make 1t profitable and "A better
understanding OF how profitable it can be
made in comparison with land located
elsewhere In the establishment of the
Vail agricultural school and the State
agricultural school at Randolph. Vermont
has two institutions fitted to educate the
young men of the State for practical and
profitable life in our smaller commune
ties. Perhaps It would he wise to wal,
for a time and lot these institutions
demonstrate what they can really do but
we believe that in the end II Vermont is
! to become a progressive State all over a
better system of agricultural education
will be found "a vital necessity

Now. mad We no storage eggs avail

would he available only for those of mod

fully 9, per cent. of the population would
have to cut out eggs so radically ~ TO
make them luxurics for people Of aver
age incomes.
Those who can afford to buy the fancy
eggs at even go cents a dozen absorb all
that are available in the time OF grea test

storage eggs for nearly all cooking. and
they get them for about 80 to 81 cents a

These eggs are all tested. and from

LEGAL. RESTRICTIONS.

There must I've some sane and safe laws

that the saving of food by cold stora ce

will advance the average all the year
prices. Losses or wastes Will advance
costs, as we must pay the penalty of such
folly as the wasting of food supplies
needlessly. To insure the legitimate
benefits of cold storage coming to the
real people, it may he absolutely neces-
sary for the United States government to
conduct the buying and selling as well
as storing of foods in cold storage bust
ness, That would be regulation which
