Many Tickets Sold
For Club Dinner

There are many tickets being sold
for the "get-together" dinner We'd
nesday evening and it promises to be
one of the best affairs in the history
of the city. There will be short re-
sponses to toasts by local speakers
and a period of general sociability
Some have bought tickets with the
remark that they did not expect to
be able to go but would do that much
to help the Commercial Club. There
is no profit in the dinner for the
club. 1t is intended solely to get
people acquainted. If you have a
ticket and cannot go, give it to your
neighbor. The club will have to pay
for as many suppers as there are
tickets sold and you should use
yours.
There have been ABOUT ZUU tickets
sold and the banquet will be held II
the Elks dining room instead of al
the Hotel Oregon, in order to accom-
modate that number. 1t will bt
served by Mrs. Conner. The ban
quet will commence at 7 O'Clock
sharp.

Special Legislative Session
[St. Adams Messenger


The fact that a special session of the
legislature is made necessary both by the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ments at the March meeting and by the
amendment to the federal Constitution
providing for the popular election of
United States senators, has occasioned
considerable discussion as to the best
time to call session.
The mere fact that it is proposed that
the legislature convene at such a time
when the members will not want to STAY
long but had rather be back on the farm.
or at their business, shows how wide
spread is the belief that Vermont legisla-
lures in the past have been somewhat
concerned in getting in as much time as
possible on the state pay roll.
Gov. Fletcher will call the session when
he will and it is very likely that he will
take into consideration the inclination of
some solons to remain in Montpelier as
long as there seems to be any excuse for
so doing. But the legislature is the mas
ter of its own destinies as regards the
length of the session and the state is in
the hands of its chosen representatives
in this respect.

take your eyes off that m~irage-tbe

A decrease in population is often
due to the lack of good roads. This
neglect will have a demoralizing effect
on any community. People who other

it if the roads are in poor condition.
Some of yonr own people will pack up
after awhile and leave in disgust.

Pertaining to the Farm
HOW CROP ROTATION
WAS FIGURED OUT.
The Why and Wherefore OF 'Cnans'"s
Nature Of Soil Products 10
Maintain Fertility.

The depletion of soil fertility Is no'
a result Of crop production. but rather
the lack of q system In crop Prouu'
ton. The basis Of all farm organiza-
ton is the cropping plan or crop man
acement. usually known as crop rota-
tom" ON this scheme rest the MAIN
tenance Of fertility. the subsistence OF
live stock. the economy of labor ana
the type of farming.
The purpose of a rotation Is primari-
" TO increase the productivcness OF inc
various crops by conserving the ferii'
ity Of the soil and at the same time
eliminating weeds. insect pests anu
plant diseases.
Centuries 2 in the early European
agriculture a system of cropping was
followed whereby a piece Of land was
continuously cropped until it no longer
produced a profitable return. linen II
was permitted to grow up to weeds
and brush while a new piece was clear
| ed for tillage. After a few years oil
rest" II was assumed that the fertil'
ity was restored. and the land was
again cleared and used for farm op'
erations.
Later the period of rest was re
! duced to one year. since it required
less labor to prepare again the land foi
tillage. Later on the practice of cui
tivating the land during the rest period
to prevent the growth Of weeds wa'
Instituted and was known as the sun
mer fallow." Gradually a cultivated
crop was substituted for the summer
| fallow. and thus crop rotation was de
veloped. We find this same process o.
continuous cropping followed by n sys
tematic rotation in every new country
during the period Of its agricultural de
velopment. There probably is no more
striking illustration of this than tina
Of the agriculture in our own country.
The value of a rotation is influenced
to a greater or less degree by the man
ner in which 1t Is systematized ant
adapted TO suit the needs Of the farm
