The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-06-17

One of the most encouraging bits Of
news regarding horticultural develop
ment in Vermont is the statement that
a Middletown Springs man has the cour-
age and the faith to set out II 900 apple
trees of well known and easily market
able varieties. 1t will be some years be-
fore he begins to realize on his invest
ment; but the experience of other apple
growers in various parts OF Vermont is
enough to convince him that if the trees
are given careful attention meanwhile
he will reap rich return on his outlay
There are already many apple growers
on large scale in Vermont; but in re-
cent years few have made such heavy
outlay as this Middletown Springs man
has done. Nevertheless, there is plenty
of chance for more to enter the business
and make money at it under proper
management of orchards and careful at
tention to the details of the financiering.
Vermont apples are in big demand in the
large city markets, and it is probable
that all the apples that Vermont could
raise would be disposed of readily.

"All at once everything changed: the

eyes fixed upon me were mocking and
jeering at me and ready to break into
roars of laughter at my failure, the
people on the stage were impeding me
and preventing me from acting. | could

CURRENT COMMENT
Good Example in Citizenship.

The death of George H. Bickford of
Hardwick is severe loss for that town
and for the state of Vermont He was
one of the young business men of the
state who had the broad education and
intelligent vision to win for Vermont
the greatest and the best. His town and
his state had further need of him but,
the fact he was stricken
in the height of his career and with rea-
sonable expectation of many more years
of usefulness, he had performed great
work. But few men accomplish as much
in long life time as he had in the past
20 years. He has sunk to rest with his
work well done and whole state his
debtor for his success and good example
in eitizenship.-St. Johnsbury Caledon-
ian.
