Pruning Conference

A. w. Sweeton, County Agent for
Windham County, has held pruning
conferences in six places and has
plans for four more. The aims and
the spirit of the work of these county
agents cannot be better illustrated
than by the circular letter sent out
by Mr.. Sweeton with regard to these
conferences. The letter follows:
During the first part of Novem-
Der we want to start a campaign in
pruning apple trees. Windham
County apples can't be beat, but we
have got to take the right care of
our trees, and the first thing to do
to most of them is to prune them,
and the time to start pruning is
onw."
with this idea in mind we want
to hold pruning conferences in all
parts of the county. These confer
ences will consist in the meeting of a
group of farmers with the county
agent on some farm where there are
apple trees. Two or three trees will
be pruned according to the methods
used by the best growers. These
meetings will be held wherever just
a few will leave their work for
a few minutes and drop in to look in
and talk it over. Then in the spring
we want to follow these up with
conferences on spraying and fertile
ing.
Talk it over with your neighbors
and make a date with us for prun-
ing conference in your community
No. l apples pay the best. Let's get
more of them"
Yours very truly,
A. W. Sweeton,
County Agent

They are the work of Farmer Taylor
of West Charleston and reflect
great credit on him as an artist.
If sufficient encouragement is
promised Mr.. O. L. Mansur, he will
at once start a good circulating
library in Island Pond. Let all
those who are willing to help patron
ize such an institution at once hand
in their names to him. 1t is a mat
ter of much surprise to us that an
effort of this kind has not been at
tempted before, for we believe that
a good circulating library would be
highly appreciated.

PLENTY OF MONEY IN ITALY
Burden Of Financing the War With

An illustration of the hitherto IN,

war had cost Italy up to May IL

Stringher. director-general of the
Bank Of Italy, has just made an of.
fetal report stating that Italian en-
igrants send at least $90.000,000 year
back home, while tourists spend al
most II not quite as much in Italy.
Either one of these sources Of wealth
would more than suffice to pay the
entire expenses OF the war. Money
is so abundant in Italy that when
popular subscriptions were opened in
many cities for military aeroplanes to
be presented to the government, the
lists were filled in a few days, the
total amount Of the subscriptions far
exceeding those Of similar nature in
France, in spite of the wave of popular
enthusiasm for aeroplaning in the
latter country. 1t is worthy of note
that this war has cost Italy in human
lives only 81 officers and $40 men,
according to the official figures, an
unprecedentedly small loss for eight
months of active warfare.

periencing some difficulty in obtain
ing sufficient supply of cane, ow-
ing to the storms, which destroyed
the crop. 1t was necessary for those
interested in the sugar industry first
to promote the raising of cane before
forming companies for running mills.
Contrary to this, however, milling
companies were first formed and
then plantations were cultivated.
Consequently. when the crop of cane
in the district of one company proved
a failure, the mill would naturally en-
croach upon the districts operated by
other companies for obtaining a sup
ply of cane, and unpleasant disputes
resulted 1t was the want of cane
that was causing distress 20 the
sugar companies in Formosa. AS to
the scheme reported to be on foot
among the sugar companies to form
a trust, probably to overcome this
scarcity of supply, such an arrange
ment might be good for the purpose
of regulating the supply of cane, but
the monopoly would result in deteri-
grafton of quality and an advance In
the price of sugar. The industry
would lose ground, to the great dis
of consumers, and the au-
tnorities could not support any such
scheme

Brazil's exports of coffee in 1911

1914, 1872 $50, as compared with 1920
065 bags valued at $24l ,590,147 in
1910. or increases of 3,O42,952 bags
and $l33,l62,733 value. The enor-
nous increase in the value of coffee
exported in 1911 was due to higher
prices for this product" writes julius
G. Lay, L. S. consul general at Rio lie
Janeiro. There was an advance dur
ing the year of about 3 cents a pound
on the New York market. Those in
terested in the coffee trade state that
the consumption of coffee in the Unit
ed States has not only fallen off, but
will continue to do so. owing to high
er prices. which have doubled in a few
years, and the consequent increased
sale of so many coffee substitutes. An
effort has for some time been made
by the Brazilian state and federal gov
ernmentS to push the sale of coffee
abroad, principally in Europe and
propaganda companies and COOpera-
tive societies have been granted sub

Motor omnibus companies in Lon
don are cutting into the business of
the street-car systems in heavy de-
gree, according to a statement by
Carl r. Loop, U. S. deputy consul gen.
eral in that metropolis. During the
twenty-three weeks ended September
! 4, the passenger receipts on the tram
way system operated by the London
county council showed a decline of
$233,59 while those of the seven
street-car systems of London, includ-
ing that of the county council, have
showed a decline during six months
of $311,456. In contrast to these fig
ures the omnibus companies have
shown remarkable increases. The
London General Omnibus Co.'S esti-
mated increase of receipts for the
eleven months ended September 80
was $2,501, 1881, while the National
Steam Car Co. in forty-four weeks
more than doubled it's receipts, in
creasing them $214,126 in one year.
There are 1000 omnibuses operated
in London by these two companies,
and the type of vehicle now in opera
ton is so noiseless and is operated
with such speed that it is becoming
more popular all the while as meth
Cd of travel.
