VERMONT HAY ALL DRIED UP
What There is Of II is Thin and Of
Poor Quality

Brattleboro, July 13.-The extreme
ly dry weather during June and the
first of July has rendered the crop
situation throughout Windham coun-
ty rather precarious. The hay crop.
which is the principal crop at this of
the year, will not average half a
yield throughout the county and in
some parts 1t is doubtful ii it will be
much more than a third crop. The
river meadows, which usually cut a
good crop of hay, have been so dried
up that they will not yield more than
one-half ton to the acre. 1t is OBJ
vious that most of the hill farms will
suffer more than the river farms.
Each farm contains a few new-seeded
pieces upon which there is fair bur
den for the year The crop is very
short in most all instances and in adj
dition, IL is very thin at the bottom.
II is a frequent occurrence to see nu-
.merous spots in the fields where IL
looked before the crop was harvested
as though fire had been through por-
tons OF the field. Most of the fields
WHICH have been cut are badly burn
ed now so that the second crop will
be light and undoubtedly next years
crop will be injured by this drouth.
Corn Is not as large as usual for
this time of the season, but of course
favorable weather from now until fall
may result in that crop maturing well
Most of the corn lots look healthy,
but IL is short for this time of the
l. toll x.sha
a small amount of fertilizer was used,
while pieces which were heavily fer
tilted are looking well. This is too
early in the season TO speculate upon
how the crop will compare with form
er years.
Potatoes are looking well through
out the county. and the plants have a
good color. but the dry weather. If
continued through the setting season,
will injure the yield. Many of the
farmers OF the county have recently
had good success with potatoes, SO
that they depend to quite an extent
upon this crop. The other vegetable
crops are looking about the same as
last year, so that without doubt about
an average crop will be realized.
Very little tobacco is raised in the
county Although it is rather early
to estimate what the fruit crop viii
be this fall. IL is thought now that
about an average yield will be seeur-
ed, although it was feared in the
spring that the late frosts and freezes
would seriously injure this years
crop. The poor hay crop will be felt
the most keenly by the farmers OF
that section. as IL viii mean that
many will have to buy large amount
of hay or sell quite a portion of their
stock.

Cassius Peck

The death of the Hon Cassius Peck
takes from among us Vermonter of
the old, rock-maple type. Shrewd,
dryly humorous, big-hearted, straight
as string, with New England con-
science and a Yankees Unborn saga
city, he represented for years in the
University of Vermont. that element
Of practical sagacity which is neces-
sary even in an institution of higher
learning. He knew Vermont farmers.
because he was one of them. He
knew Vermont legislators, because he
had served three terms in the Yer
mont Legislature, one in the Senate
and two in the House. He was man
for whom Senator Proctor cherished
warm affection, and in whom our
late President Buckham found a trus-
ty and helpful advisor.
Cassius Peck had the gift of hui
man wisdom, sometimes mistakenly
called horse sense" which singles
men out without regard to education
or condition and makes them great
in council. President Buckham rec
ognized in this man something of use
to supplement his own fine powers
and rare accomplishments. During
some of the hard years when the late
president was building up the univer-
sity to its present independent posi-
ton. insisting always on sound me-
lthods, and farsighted. plans. no man
was closer,in his counsels than this
shrewd, sensible son of our Green
mountains. He knew little about the
science Of pedagogy, and philalogy
did not interest him. But If a profes
sor were to be added to the teaching
staff President Buckham would call
in Mr.. Peck, and though he might not
have much to say about the quality
of the applicants Greek, he could
make some very pertinent guesses as
to the character and quality of the
man.
President Buckham loved to relate
how on one occasion the whole facul-
ty incensed at the circulation by an
irresponsible fellow of untruthful and
malicious stories about the university
had resolved, themselves into a kind
OF indignation meeting. After onelpro
lessor had advised writing to the
newspapers and another refuting the
lies, and still another had avowed
that the man deserved to be shown
up somehow, the president said, "Mr.
Peck, what would you do?" Mr.. Peck
gave the question a moments con-
sideration and then drawled out his
reply: You know, Mr.. President.
never yet made much by kicking a

ly decided that IL would be the part
OF wisdom to accept Mr.. Peck's sug-
gestion.
