Agricultural Exhibit
A New Feature to be Inaugrated
at the Vermont State Fair

Interest in: scientific agriculture
was manifested at White River
junction, VT, last week when a
meeting of county supervisors, L.

ment at Washington, D. c., and E.
S. Brigham, state commissioner OF
agriculture, was held in the office of
the Vermont state fair commission.
There are five counties of the state
that have employed experts in scien-
.tifc agriculture, and these experts
were all present. The counties and
the experts are: Bennington, j. L..
..Slewman; Caledonia, S. Newton
<Stimson; Orange, jackson Demary;
Windham,%A. w. Sweaton; Windsor,
j. Coryell.
1t was decided to take part in the
Vermont State Fair which occurs at
White River Junction Sept. 16, II.
18 and 19. A tent will be erected
and the experts will be in attendance
the four days of the fairto give all
information possible to farmers. Mr..
Dodge, the expert from the agricul-
,tural department at Washington, will
; take an active part in disseminating
information, as will the state COM
missioner.
Actual demonstration of scientific
farming will be made and comparis-
ons shown between the new and the
old methods.
This exhibition will be made ir
connection with that of the state ex.
pertinent station, which is a part Of
the agricultural department of the
University of Vermont.
1t is the purpose of the men hav

Despatchers Move

Due to the Grand Trunk changing
the despatchers of the End and 3rd
districts to Richmond, it has been
necessary for .despatchers H. A.
Austin, J. L. Burns and E. C. Potter
to return to that station. j. W.
Farrell, trainmaster, will also be
located at Richmond.
The town is sorry to lose these
good citizens but the Grand Trunk
found it could handle business to
better advantage by the despatch
ing force being centrally located.
Mr.. Potter will succeed Mr.. Mason
as chief train dispatcher.

ASKS ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS
OF $500.

According to a special in The Herald
from Austin yesterday. Representative
Sam B. Householder introduced bill
asking for an annual appropriation Of
$500 for the support and maintenance
of the proposed agricultural experiment
station here. The amount local people
who were promoting the enterprise asked
for was $4,000 for the maintenance of
the station, as this was deemed the
smallest amount that could be used to
benefit.
The original amount it was intended
should carry both the agricultural ex-
pertinent station. as a substatiOn. and
department for the purpose of sugar
cane experiments. For the sugar cane
experiments the Rio Grande Cane Grow
ers' Association was also to aid r. c.
Wharton stated yesterday that if the re
port that only $500 was asked for is
correct then the cane growers will ask
for an additional $25,060 for cane expert
ments. The amount asked for included
the $500 usually allowed for agricul
tural experiment SubStationS.
Mr.. Wharton last night wired Repre-.
sentative Householder for confirmation
