Government Makes Report On
Vermont Crops

The Crop Reporting Board of the
United States Department of Agriculture
has just completed its estimate of the
acre yield of the principal farm crops Of
Vermont for this year. The estimates
are based on crop conditions during the
early part Of October. The final figures
will be given out within a short time,
but it is reported that they will not diff
to any great extent with the preliminary
estimates. According to The figures the
yield per acre of the principal crops of
this State in 1914 will be as follows:-
Corn SO bushels; Buckwheat % bushels;
Irish Potatoes 100 bushels and Tobacco
1850 pounds.
Vermont farmers produced 1,1sS, 900
tons of tame or cultivated hay during
1914, according to the preliminary esti-
mates made TO-DAY by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The pro-
duct is selling for an average of $3.50
per ton, compared with $3.50 per ton
in 1913. The yield per acre this season
is 1.2O tons and the quality is not as
good as that of the average crop of the
past ten years.

PrOuty'S Mistake

"a. Prouty made political blunder.
Now that the election is over that fact is
apparent even to his warmest friends.
Had he sought the Republican nomina-
ton for United States Senator the $4,000
Republicans who voted for Roosevelt in
1912 would have returned very largely
to the Republican vote and he could
have made strong fight for the nomina-
ton as Republican, for those Progress
ives would have been largely for him.
AS it was, only about 1000 of those who
voted for Roosevelt in 1912 still remain
adherents to the Progressive party by
voting for Aldrich for Governor. OF Mr..
Proutys ability. of his integrity, of his
patriotism, OF his able leadership as a
public servant in the office of Interstate
Commerce Commissioner there can be
no question. Vermont will continue to
respect these many good qualities and
will only regret that he felt it to be wise
to so far go over to the Democracy as to
accept the nomination of that party.

Whose questioning minds cannot rest

And whispers, my ways are best"

RAPE FOR SUMMER PIG FEED.

A Patch VIII Furnish a Wealth Of
Green Fodder.
Sow Il patch Of rape. 1t will furnish
the growing pigs with q wealth of
palatable green feed and. if given a
chance to come back" will produce
crop after crop Of excellent succu-
lence.
The most satisfactory method Of
growing this crop for swine. accord
ing to James G. Fuller of the agricul-
tural experiment station, University
of Wisconsin. is to provide three yards
of about equal size and seed them
three weeks apart with one and one
fourth bushels of oats and five pounds
of rape to the acre. The first lot, of
course. is generally sown as soon in
the spring as the ground is dry enough
to work.
The Dwarf Essex variety is best and
usually sown broadcast or in drills
twenty eight inches apart. If in drills,
it is best to SOW lengthwise of the
field, as the animals will not trample
down the crop in going from or COM
ing to the feeding yard.
The pigs can be turned on to the
first lot as soon as the rape is from
fourteen to eighteen inches in height,
and as soon as they have eaten it
down to four or five leaves to the
stock the pigs are transferred to the
next patch and so rotated from one lot
to the other throughout the summer.
If well supplied with satisfactory
forage during the summer months pigs
can be finished for market and fatten-
ed off quickly as soon as the crop ma
lures.
