FORESTRY INSTRUCTION
Field Conferences To Be Held In
Rutland County

The state forestry department is
planning an extensive campaign
throughout Vermont this summer for
the purpose OF instructing the farmer
and lumberman in the modern fores.
try method OF timber cutting, and a
letter has recently been received by
Henry Jennings. agent of the Rutland
county farm bureau. relative To the
work, which il is hoped can be car
ried out in this vicinity.
The letter is from State Forester
Austin +. Halves of Burlington. II
states that the forestry department.
will send, upon request. an expert In
this work to each county in the state
for one week. The only condition
being that the farmers provide trans
portation to the different towns and
villages in the county.
IL is planned that two field confer
ences be held each day about five
miles apart on the timherlands of
farmers interested in the work. Neigh
boring farmers are expected To be
present and are invited to bring their
axes that they may work under the
supervision of the expert. Lectures
will also be given each evening dur
ing the week
This work is being taken up by the
state for the reason that many farm
ers and lumbermen in cutting their
timber. clear the land of everything
using part for lumber and the re-
mainder for cord wood. BY this
method. which is almost universal
throughout the state. the land is I'M
productive for from 80 to so years.
BY the new method only the wood
that is fully matured Is cut. which
gives the smaller stock a chance to
grow.
If enough OF the farmers are inter.
ested the expert will probably be In
this section during the latter part Of
August, although no route has yet
been arranged.
Another proposition Is being advo-
Gated by Mr.. Jennings. TO be taken mp
during the early part OF August.
which If carried out. will eliminate
much OF the damage caused by the
caterpillar pest on the foliage and
hedges of the roads in this vicinity In
the spring. Mr.. Jennings intends TO
interest citizens OF the city in this
work. and hopes TO form torch bri-
gades. similar to the campaign insti.
tuted by Mrs. George T. Chaffee early
this spring. The caterpillars are now
in the cocoon state and before long
will lay their eggs. This danger will
be averted il the trees are gone over
with the torches and any damage
caused by the flames on the branches
OF the tree. will be overcome before
spring.
Spraying demonstrations are still
being carried ON and this week will
probably be spent In TinmOuth. Mid

Cost of Ice
Reduced

Even if it isn't 50 hot as it will be during
dog days now is the time to buy refrigerator
During house cleaning and when getting ready
for the summer look over your old ice box
and If you need new one pick it out and have
it installed.
An old refrigerator or one too small for
family needs costs more in one summers
waste than the price of a new one.
The price of ice you know is more than
it used to be but do you know that the new
up-to-date refrigerators made that they
don't use anywhere near as much ice as the
old kind The way to lower the price of ice
is to buy one of our new refrigerators.
If we don't happen to have just the kind of
size you want there will be time to order it
and have it here in season, while If you. wait
until sunstroke weather comes along you may
have to take up with any old thing.
We sell furniture. stoves. oil stoves. and
all the things that make home different from

We have few odd chairs tables and sec
cond hand articles that we want to clean out
to make ready for new goods. and so are al
most giving them away.

Paris, Aug. 24.-The following Off

"A great battle is now in progress
along a vast line extending from
Mons to the frontier of Luxembourg.
Our troops are in conjunction with the
British and have assuped everywhere
the offensive. We are faced by almost
the whole German army, both active
and reserve.
The ground, especially on our
right, is thickly wooded and difficult.
The battle is likely to last several
days.
THE enormous extent of the front
and the great number Of forces i'm
volved makes 1t impossible to follow
step by step the movements of each
OF our armies. We must await the re-
suit of the first phase of the combat
before we can form any conclusion as

official or unofficial, concerning the
progress Of the land operations, comes
at present from the side of the allies.
The French official statement con-
tinues:
"yery little news filters in from
Germany and Austria by the channels
of neutral countries, but sufficient
does filter through to indicate that the
enemy claims successes in various
quarters, both in the western and east
ern theaters Of the war.
ut should furthermore be remem-
bered that these campaigns have been
carried out on an enormous scale and
that a majority OF the encounters
which already have taken lplace can
only in their due perspective be class
ed as incidents of minor importance"
No information is available as to
whether the Germans now intend to
devote themselves to the task OF re-
ducing Antwerp or to an endeavor to
