ficient to thoroughly moisten the sur
face and the ground is in excellent con.
ditiOn for blowing and seeding as soon
as warmer weather prevails Fall
sown grains and clovers suffered but
little damage from winter killing, due
to the fact that although the winter
was mild the temperature was uniform
ly moderately cool. There are, how
ever, some fields in the extreme south
ern counties that appear to be spotted,
and the Hessian fly is reported to have
caused to 10 per cent damage to the
crop in Scott county, but the condition
for the state as a whole is at least >
per cent better than it was on April l.,
1913 and the acreage is considerably
greater than it was last year. Owing
to the continued cold weather the seed
ing of oats has but fairly begun. The
bulk of the spring wheat seeding is
finished, and the acreage will be some
what greater than last year. But little
has been done in the way of gardening
and only few potatoes have been
planted. Grass appears to be in good
condition, but has barely started to
grow All live stock came through the
winter in a thrifty condition and there
is sufficient feed and roughage left to
last until new pasturage is obtainable.
The spring pig crop is fairly good con-
side:ing the great loss of breeding
stock last season from cholera. The
week closes with clear weather and
much higher temperature, and if these
conditions continue all farm operations
will be rushed during the coming week
Up to the present time the prospec.
are favorable for a bountiful crop year.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
"The Lady of the Slipper" Musical Fan
tasy in Three Acts.

"The Lady OF the Slipper" which is
announced to appear at the opera house
on Wednesday, Sept. ?. is heralded as
musical fantasy in three acts, score
by Victor Herbert, book by Ann Caldwell
and Lawrence McCarty, lyrics by James
ODea and staged by r. H. Burnside
Given that it is Mr.. Dillingham; who
presents the Lady of the Slipper" as
suranee becomes a certainty that the
stars will be adequately supported in
the subsidiary character OF the musical
fantasy and that the details of the stage
investiture will not only be opulent but
in exquisite taste.
1.-The Lady of the Slipper" has many
pleasing numbers, particularly in its
score, the music being the graceful kind
that Victor Herbert usually composes,
the marches and finales especially show
ing the earmarks of this favorite com
poser, the whole atmosphere is stunning
and dazzling.
The departure of Cinderella in her
gorgeous coach, drawn by six real ponies
of white white, is a spectacular in
cident that rouses the audience to en-
thusiasm
Miss Gretna Eastman, as Cinderella,
is one of the hits of the production, in
her favor she has youth, comeliness and
magnetism. She seems to be full of the
ioy Of living. and her dancing has spon
taneity instead of mechanical precision.
1t is safe to say that those who see her
in "The Lady of the Slipper" viii be
eager to welcome her egain.-Adv.

THE SURVIVING MEDICAL
COLLEGES

Twenty-eght states Of the Union sup.
port medical colleges, and it is worthy
of note that all but four of them are
included in the honor list of the Amer.
lean Medical association, the four which
fall below that standard, or into class B.
being the state institutions of Arkansas,
Oklahoma, South Carolina and West Vir.
ginia The Vermont institution is rated
m class 4. which standing, according to
the viewpoint of the association, means
colleges also acceptable which could
make certain improvements" or some
what lower than ''cIass A plus" which
designation means acceptable medical
colleges"
In this connection, it is noteworthy,
too that these rs state institutions con-
stitute considerable portion of the
medical colleges remaining in existence
following the concerted attack made on
medical educational institutions When
the attack was started 10 years ago
there were 100 medical colleges in the
United States, and since then IS Of the
colleges have ceased to exist, either be-
coming extinct entirely or being merged
with some other medical college. Most
of the institutions which ceased to ex-
ist are called by one writer "cheap,
money-making schools" or in other
words, conducted for commercial reasons
rather than for advancement of medical
science and the development of the high
est ideals in the profession. 1t is I'M
fortunate that in the war on these cheap
medical colleges some very honorable in
stitutions, which were temporarily de-
ficient in some features, had to be lost
entirely or had to lose their identity
in becoming merged with a larger and
overshadowing institution, thus depriv-
ing certain sections of the undoubted
advantages Of having a medical college
of their own. In view of the powerful
attack which is being continued, it be-
hooves Vermont to see to it that its
sole institution for medical education is
not allowed to become atrophied through |
lack of support to such an extent that
it viii fall from its present good stand
ing and lose prestige.
