done like this:

The big wheat crop of 1914 is assured.
but the outlook for other crops is not so
good as has been expected, according to
the reports collected by the biggest
Chicago bank. There has been too much
dry weather in the South and in some
parts of the West. The corn crop is ex-
pected to total 2,5OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
which will be little more than last
years, and 6O0,OOO,OOO less than that of
1912. Cotton has been benefited by re-
cent rains, but had a poor start and will
not be over 100000 bales. Oats have
been hurt by the dry weather in some
sections of the country. Our crops this
year will measure up to the ten-year aver
age, but will not be, on the whole, so
enormous as was expected in the spring
months But we may get just as much
money for what we are able to export as
if the amount were larger The war in
Europe has made vast difference in all
conditions

There will be general disposition on
the part of Republicans in this part of
the state to support Herbert G. Barber
of Brattleboro in his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for attorney
general. His political record Is one with
which no fault can be found from a
party standpoint, and, what Is more
important, his qualifications for the
office to which he aspires are beyond
question. Mr.. Barber has practiced
law in Vermont most of the time for
more than 90 years and has been dis
tinctly successful in his profession.
Among his legal associates he is recog-
nized as a practitioner of courage and
determination, thorough student of
law, and man of keen business iudc-
mental qualities of extreme value
in the mental equipment of the state s
chief legal adviser. With Mr.. Barber
as attorney general there is no doubt
that the affairs of the office would be
placed on a thoroughly business-Iike
basis, and it is equally certain that
there would be no occasion to charge
his administration with extravaganza
If the geographical argument is to play
la part in the Republican state con.

vention this fall it viii be strongly in
Mr.. Barber S favor since practically
all of the candidates for office who
have thus far announced themselves are
residents of the west side of the state.
AS to the likihood that the office of at
torney general will be abolished by
the next legislature there IS hardly
merit enough in the idea to warrant
attention Every year the need of legal
advice to state officers increases, and
the economical way to secure this ad-
vice is from a regular salaried official
instead of from special counsel whose
fees are almost sure to be exorbitant.

The American public has not grasped
the significance of the European war.
The Boston papers, in their Judgment of
the value and proportion of news, run
the winning record streak of the Boston
Braves on the first pages under~the same
headlines given to the announcements of
battles in Belgium. As a matter of fact
we are living in time of the most
titanic struggle the world has ever seen.

ANOTHER STATE FOREST.
Tract of 5000 Acres in Town of Under
hill Contains Much Valuable Timber.

nil contains Much valuable Timber.
BURLINGTON, Aug. 20.-The pur-
chase has just been completed by the
state forester, of tract Of about 5000
acres in the town of Underhin. This
area which is now the largest of our
state forests, lies on the west side of
the Green Mountain range Just south
of Mount Mansfield. The old road.
which crossed the range through Ne
braska Notch, runs diagonally across
the forest, and the Long Trail from
Mansfield to Cancels Hump passes over
it for a mile or more
Some twenty years ago the best
| spruce lumber was cut Oft, but at that
| time lumber was for less valuable than
now, and much spruce was left as well
as hardwoods. With the exception of
| about 100 acres of burned land, the
| whole area is well wooded 1t is for
tunate that the state could acquire it
| before the mountain was stripped, be
cause the lumber supply will not only
| be Of great future value to the town,
| but the two streams rising on the tract
| Stevens brook and Lee river, would be
seriously affected by deforestation. The
purchase was made through II. B. Shaw
| of Burlington, and Ira Thorp of I'm
| derhiIl, on behalf of the owners, who
| live in Boston; and by 4. +. Halves
state forester, and T. L. Hopkins, the
state 5 attorney of Chittenden county
on behalf of the state 1t is understood
that the price paid was only 1928 an
acre, considerably less than that first
asked.
The state forester is now having a
map and careful estimate made Of the
entire forest, and intends to begin the
| Improvement of the tract as soon as
practicable. The open areas will be re
torested next spring, and Improvement
cuttings made as soon as a good market
can be developed for the weed trees.
One of the points of interest in this
forest is a very beautiful water fail
one of the finest in the state, especially
in early spring.
The acquisition of this tract make;
the total area of the state forests about
5000 acres.
