To raise more per acre is not
the only problem but the best ways
of marketing are equally important.
Under present conditions raising
more to the acre does not always
mean more money as it often hap

crops the farmers get less monev for
their potatoes then when there is a

Secretary Taylor
J. p. Taylor of Burlington, secre-
tary of the Greater Vermont AssO-
citation, was introduced and said in
Vermont people were beginning to
get interested in everybody. They
are finding out that anything which
benefits anybody benefits everybody
and that it is team work which
counts the most. Farming takes
brains and everybody is interested
in it. He suggested a county tour
to unity the aims of the whole coun-
ty.

County Agent Stimson said he
had organized one COW testing as
ISOLATION in the north part Of the
county but he had found it difficult
work because the farmers were so
reluctant to start The trouble is
so many suggest that their neigh
bOrs try it this year and if it works
Well they will come in next year.
He believed that it would be a good
thing to charge IS for a membership
because the farmer would be more
interested If he had So instead of
81. invested in the work. There
are seven places in the county that
need COW testing associations but
the farmers must cooperate if they
are to be successfully organized and
operated.
He also spoke of the practice of
the farmers of buying fertilizer of
an agent because he is a good fell
low and giving him about half of
all the money he pays him. The
farmer should join with his neigh
Dor and get fertilizing materials by
the car load and get full value foA
money paid out. If the farmer will
persist he can get the fertilizer and
grain men to give him a square deal.
He said the county is large and it
is difficult for him to get over it
and serve all but he could accom-

TO cede either jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan, Hampshire

Summers Virginia in payment Of West Virginia s
share Of the formers debt The latter proposition is
said to have the backing of the Chesapeake aud OhiC
railroad and the story the high officials OF the
road are said bc working It up. The veracous chron
cler OF the alleged Information ascribes the C. O,s
anxiety in behalf of tho sheme to its reluctance to clos

Virginia the bar be kept open. more likely
explanation would be that the change would reduce by
at least one-third the Chesapeake and Ohio's mileage
the West Virginia fare and therefore
greatly to the railroads revenues, but the Sentinel
doubts if the Chesapeake and Ohos officials ever serl
ousy entertained this thought They might like to have
such a change made but men OF Intelligence they
surely know that there is much chance of West Viz
snias ceding part of her territory to Virginia as
there is of the Federal governments giving New Eng
