CURRENT COMMENT
Vermont Farms Pay.

During the past year there have prob
ably been more Vermont farms sold Il
! persons in the west, the middle west an(
! the north west, than ever before in am
like period, in the history OF the state
! In Washington county alone, one farm
! agency has sold between twenty anC
thirty. and they have nearly all been tC
persons of some means and from with
out the state.
One paper on the west side complains
that farms in Washington county bring
higher prices than those on the west side
OF the state. Possibly this is true, but
even then the land seems comparatively
cheap when compared to the almost fab
ulous prices received for land in the
western states. And one can get quite
as good living from the products of a
Vermont farm as he can from much
larger tract OF western land. The YER
mont farmer has a market near at hand
for all the products he may be able to
raise and at good price. There is in
variably rain enough through the season
for the maturing and harvesting of same.
On the large farms of the western states
the one or two kinds of crops are either
very heavy and the profits enormous or
else they are dismal failures and the
farmer must wait another year and ry
his luck again.
There are so many adverse circum-
stances With which the large western
farmer mas to contend that rarely enters
into the calculations of the Vermont
farmer There is he one big crop of the
year to depend upon in the west and if
that fails it is sad failure. In Vermont
in the spring there is the maple sugar
orchard TO attend to, and small though
profitable income is derived from that;
then in the summer the various products
of the farm ripen in their season; in the
fall there are the potatoes and the APP
Piles, and the apples play a prominent
part in income of the average farmer.
Then later in the winter the chopping,
hauling and selling from he maple,
birch and spruce woods add another bit
to the wears income. SO the Vermont
farmer, instead of having one or two big
crops, and nothing else to depend upon.
has number of sources from which TO
derive his income. He has something
specific for every season of the year.
Many western people are beginning to
realize that Vermont farms are paying
and are not slow TO sieZe
he opportunity of buying and "immi-
grating east" The Vermont abandoned
arm" which we heard so much about a
ew years ago. is not SO often spoken of /
low. for its passing is nearly if not !
quite finished.-Northfield News.

A WINTER SPORT WARNING.

An automobile skidded at Brattlehort
the other day and seriously injured TIL,
four occupants OF the vehicle. Anybody
who drives an automobile these days
may expect to run the risk of skidding
there being so little snow and so much
ice, There always is need for care in
the handling of motor vehicles, but the
need seems to be intensified now that
automobiling has come to be winter
sport in Vermont. The accident in Brat
tleboro is warning enough.

Mr. Doten of Pomfret opposed the bill
as the burden would fall heavier on the
poor farmer.
Mr.. Crosby of Brattleboro claimed tho
bill would shift the tax from those who
could afford TO pay to the man who
could not afford to pay. Sometimes it
IS safe to do nothing; better no new
tax law than one which Ia an injury To
those who cannot stand more taxes.
Mr. Gleason of Richmond favored the
bill. Mr.. Mcclellan OF Plymouth ia
vored the bill because il abolishes Off
sets, as did Mr., Chesley of Sheffield.
Mr.. Martin of Bennington claimed the
bill guaranteed offsets instead of abol-
ishing them.
Mr.. Wright of Wiliston believed the
bill would increase the states revenue
100000 annually, because of the taxa.
ton OF intangibes.
Mr.. Billings of Woodstock claimed the
taxation question was local issue, and
he urged the members TO vote in the
interest OF the city or town he repre-.
sents.
Mr.. Foote of Cornwall approved the
bill, as it would aid his constituents.
Mr., Locke of Barton favored the bill

Mr.. Taft of Townshend moved to

OF Lyndon said the ways and means |

Mr.. Wright of Williston thought it
important that accurate figures should

Mr. Ryder of Rockingham thought if
