state money is to be laid out. The
state highway commissioner decide
where the state highway money shall
be expended, the law stipulating tina
he shall consult with the selectmer
of the town. He stipulates how the
roadway shall be constructed and
inspects the road after it is finished
to see that his Specifications have
been complied with before a dollar
is allowed for the work. He also
selects the agent who. shall have
charge of the work. His custom is tt
select the local road commissioner il
he is qualified to do the work and Il
he is not he selects some one he
believes is qualified.
So it will be seen that the work
is laid out by the best road building
authority in the state and the loca
selectmen have nothing to say as
to who shall be in charge of the
work. Last year the selectmen were
called on to assist the local road com.
missioner, who was given charge Of
this work to the extent of SAT. There
cannot be very large amount OF
mismanagement in this.
The gentleman who made the in.
correct statement referred to above
is very much in evidence at every
public meeting on town affairs and il
always charging dishonesty and IN
fairness on the part of anyone who
does not agree with his ideas Hc
seems obsessed with the idea he is
the only honest thing on the floor
Yet we unhesitatingly state that we
know of no man better informed OF
things that are not so than this self
appointed apostle of honesty. His
right to speak is unquestioned but
until he is more accurate in his
statements he cannot be awarded
the prize for honesty. Town officials
should be criticized for the mistakes
they do make but uniformed citi.
zens should not attempt to arouse
unfounded prejudice against them.

A Cheap Fertilizer For Oats

Farmers having a light, sandy
soil, or whose farms are a fair loan,
but which have been exhausted by
long-continued cropping without
much fertilizer, will find it still pos
sible to raise fair crops by the use of
Fertilizing Salt. This kind of fertiIi-
zer appears to give especially good
results on Oats. 1t not only makes
the straw sitter, consequently MAX
ing the crop less liable to lodge and
rust, but also keeps the ground
moist and SO insures a better catch
when grass seed is sown with the
Oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertilizing
purposes is sold by c. S. PAGE, Hyde
Park, VT. 1t is more valuable than
most cheap salts, as it contains more
or less refuse matter which comes
from the hides on which it has been
used. The price is only $500 per
ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park, and the
freights are moderate, especially on
Is ton carloads. This price is SOC
less than last year and is likely to
be only temporary. Orders there
fore should be placed as early as pos
sible. Prompt shipment can be
made and full particulars will be
given on request.

Please permit me to say again this

March 81. We live in a Christian
community in a Christian environ
ment. And nearly all Christendon
pauses and stops on this day because
of the Sacrificial Death at Calvary
Surely northern Vermont is not ar
exception. Lent is becoming an in
creasing factor in our civic life
Therefore / appeal to mark this
solemn day, with the rest of Chris
tendon, for the closing of our
schools, library, and Museum. ]
make my appeal direct to the re.
spective trustees and directors OF
these different public institutions
If we publicly keep Decoration day
in memory of the men who died fol
their country, surely we should
likewise mark Good Friday in mem.
DRY of One who died for the whole
world.
Yours truly,

New England Industries

George Brewster Gallup of the
Pilgrim Publicity Bureau has sent
out an article calling attention to
the progressive methods adopted by
city planning and the manufacture
of trade marked goods advertised
until people call for them by name
The move includes more than tho
manufacture and advertising of the
goods as they are planning good
homes for skilled laborers. They
can buy the machinery and the raw
material on equal terms with New
England manufacturers. They only
lack the skilled labor and by devel-
oping we'll governed cities and con-
structing modern and attractive
homes they can get skilled laborers.
So it will be seen that New Eng
. land industries must make a fight
for the excellence of their goods, fol-
the publicity of established names
and in the housing facilities of THEN
working men if they are to retain
their supremacy. 1t is a struggle for
excellence in all things. MIR. GaIlup's
method of accomplishing these
things is given by him as follows,
by improving our own cities.
BY a city planning, campaign which
shall sweep all over New England.
BY competing with these splendid
western. and southern people on.
plane OF excellence in city building
and city regenerating on scientific
and competent engineering lines
Having done this, we may be sure
that we shall not have our skilled
labor attracted away from us, as
was the case, in the automobile and
stove industries, and in part by the !
development of the cotton industr, |
in the South. We will begin to pro-
tect our perfected products by trade
marks, and by advertising them BY |
name to the consumers of the coun !
try we will give them a prestige !
with the individual purchaser that
their high quality deserves. We
will enable the pleased user of New |
England products to ask for them
over and over again and insist upon
getting the identical article because
it can be identified. BY this means |
we will keep up the output of our |
factories, and enable them to ex-
pand and grow even larger, in spite |
of competition. We shall then lose |
only those industries that we do not |
deserve to retain, and we will hold |
our skilled labor because of the |
steadiness of the demand for our |
goods and because of the environ |
ment we have provided in the finest |
and most scientifically perfected |
cities in the world
Taking the matter right home we
find that we have industries of estab-
lished excellence recognized through |
out the world but we lack the |
housing facilities for respectable |
families. We should start a cit! |
planning campaign here studying |
powers necessary for our local gov
eminent to enforce city i'm.
provements. We should have build.
ing regulations that will enable US
to get cheaper insurance and curb
the Indifferent individual from erect.
ing dangerous fire risks that will
penalize the whole neighborhood for
half a century. St. Johnsbury car
become one of the most important
manufacturing centers of New Eng
tunity before them and prepare for
il.

Winter Web OF the
Brown Tail Moth.

The above. illustrates the winter
web of the Brown Tail Moth. This
insect has become established in ST.
Johnsbury and the towns surround
ing. The species is an important
one and has caused great damage
in Massachusetts, and other New
England States, both on account of
the defoliation of trees caused by the
larvae, and also because the hairs Of
the caterpillars and moths have a
very poisonous effect on human skin,
causing an irritation and swelling
somewhat similar TO that of poison
ivy. For the latter reason it is most
undesirable to allow this insect to
| become established in cities and
towns, or around dwellings. The
caterpillars feed on all fruit trees and
most of our shade and ornamental
trees They do not feed on pine, or
other evergreen trees and seldom
damage birch, beech, poplar or the
more common forest trees except
oak. Each web contains several
hundred small caterpillars which re-
main in it throughout the winter
and in the spring feed upon the foil
age, as soon as the buds open. The
caterpillars become full grown about
the middle of June. They then spin
cocoons and about two weeks later
the moths begin to emerge. They
are attracted to strong light and are
often found in large numbers around
electric arc lights. This insect can
be controlled by cutting the webs
from the trees and destroying them
by fire. This should be done at once
as the caterpillars leave the webs
and scatter over the trees as soon as
the buds begin to open. Care should
be taken to burn them thoroughly.
If they are allowed 10 remain on the
ground the caterpillers will emerge,
seek the trees, and cause injury. The
Commissioner of Agriculture desires
the hearty cooperation of the Off
Gals and citizens of all the infected
cities and towns. Further informa-
ton concerning this insect will be
furnished by applying to Mr.. E. S.
BRIGHAM, Commissioner of Agri-
culture, St. Adams, VT.
