Hon, Newman X. Chaffee of Rut-
land has resigned as member of
the state penal board which has sup
ervision of the state prison, the
house of correction and the state in
dustrial school Mr.. Chaffee resign
ed because he could not possibly
give up the time required from his
own business. Mr.. Chaffee is adj
nlittedly one OF the best men who
ever served the state in any capaci-
ty. Not only is he a keen, alert
business man, but he is a man OF
specially fine traits of character, OF
absolute integrity, conscientious and
painstaking. The state needs the
services of such men and once
having had them is unfortunate in
losing services so valuable. The in
teresting point of the case is that it
illustrates a mistake that is honest
ly made by thousands Of people.
Every little while some politician
out of office, some agitator or indi-
vidual, makes big noise about the
number of commissions In Vermont
would be a loser. Mr.. Chaffee
solidating these commissions or re-
ducing their number. AS matter
of fact such a move would largely
increase the expense. Under the
present system men of standing and
ability are willing to spare little
time to the public service without
pay or with merely nominal consid-
Grafton. BY this division the state
gets the services of men that it
could not hire for ten times what
these services now cost. To consoli-
date these commissions would mean
a tremendous increase in compensa-
ton or the taking of the services of
inferior men. Either way the state
would be a loser. Mr.. Chaffee
would have been willing to have re
NAMED on board to look after one
institution, but the work of manag-
ing three has so increased during
the past few years that he felt COM
PEELED to resign because OF the time
i took from his own business.

Vermont Butter

State Commissioner OF Agriculture
Ebert S. Brigham announces that a
creamery inspector has been appoint
ed 1t is high time that such action
were taken If the words of s. G.
Thompson, head of dairy manufacture
ing Investigations of the dairy diyi-
sion of the federal department of ag-
riculture, are true. and as Mr. Thomp
son is man of experience in such
matters, there is no reason to doubt
the correctness of his expressions,
even If that truth does hurt. Mr..
Thompson declares that that quality
of Vermont butter. which used to be
the standard. has now fallen below
the standard of other states. He
doesn't say whether Vermont has
gone backward or other states have
improved to great degree. but what
change in relationship, there is no
reason why Vermont should not head
the list once again.
But to regain the lost position
there must be good hard work The
first step Is taken by the state agri-
cultural department in securing a
competent inspectator, which Mr..
Ayres, by training and experience,
seems to be. Mr.. Ayres will find that
there will be plenty of room for help
full suggestions to farmers and cream
cry men. The work should be con-
structiye, II won't be possible to
bring everything around in a moment
but it will be possible to do so with
in reasonable period The farmers
must be shown where they are negli-
gent and the managers of creameries
must be made to realize what their
faults are. All of this can and ought
to be done in spirit of helpfullness,
but II it is found that instructions
and advice are spurned or ignored,
then IL will be time to adopt some
other and more forceful method of
dealing with the situation. There is
no reason why Vermont butter should
not command premium above the
regular market price.-St. Adams
Messenger.

APPLE CROP DESTROYED

Mount Tremper, N. Y, June S.
Farmers throughout Ulster and half
dozen surrounding counties say
their apple crop will be total fail
ure this season as the result of a
visitation of apple tree bugs. The
pest is variety of black and yellow
caterpillar. No early spraying was
done by the apple growers and it is
now too late for It to be of any
avail. The roads also are covered
with the insects.
The failure of the apple crop will
have an appreciate effect upon rait-
road freight earnings in this sec
