CAMP IN AGRICULTURE AND
FORESTRY

Arrangements have been made by
the State Forestry Department and
the Extension Service of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, to hold Boys
Camp in the Demonstration of Agri-
culture and Forestry on the Chas.
Downer State Forest, Sharon, August
4th to 18th, inclusive. This camp,
which is open to boys under % years
Of age, will be somewhat different
from those held in previous years,
since agricultural subjects will be
taught as well as forestry. This State
Forest is delightfully."- located for
camping purposes, and the forestry
demonstrations carried on during the
past four years add greatly to the
equipment for such instruction. The
boys will sleep in tents, and may
board with the Superintendent of the
Forest, the only charge being that for
board, at the rate of $500 a week.
The instruction will be given by mem
bers Of the Faculty of the University
Of Vermont, and will include lectures
and field excursions. Such subjects
as botany, soils and fertilizers, stock
judging, dairy feeds, boys club work
and forestry and horticulture will be
given. Students will have an oppor-
tunity to practice many Of the practi-
cal things connected with farming,
such as the pruning and spraying Of
apple trees mixing Of feeds, planting
young forests, etc.
For information about the camp, in
quiry should be made either Of A. r. I
Hawes. State Forester, or Professor
Thomas Bradee, both of Burlington.

TWENTIETH ANNUAL MEETING
VERMONT BOTANICAL CLUB
Hotel Allen. Fair Haven, W., July g.
10, ~.

The Goth annual field meeting Of tn,
Vermont Botanical Club will be held
at Fair Haven. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, July 8, 10. II, with head
quarters at Hotel Allen. Two all
day trips have been planned, leaving
Saturday morning for short explora-
tons about the village, especially the
banks Of Castleton River, as far as
Carver's Falls.
The first day will be devoted to ex-
ploration Of Fair Haven cedar swamp,
which for nearly century has been
known as mecca for botonists. 1t
is a typical sphagnum, cedar covered
bog and contains many plants of in
terest. The swamp is about a mile
distant from the hotel and the plan
will be TO make the trip on foot, start
ing at 9 a. m.
For Friday trip TO West Haven is
scheduled. starting at $50. The dis
tance is about six miles over an easy
road. Automobiles and carriages will
be used. The cost will probably not
exceed 75 cents per person. West
Haven is the most southerly Of the
tier of towns which border on Lake
Champlain, and much Of it has not
been visited by botanists. Lime
stone cliffs and ponds yield many
plants which are rare in Vermont, in
cluding several found elsewhere only
about Pownal.
Rates at Hotel Allen will be So to
So day, according to accommoda-
tons. The hotel will provide lunches
to carry on trips. Rubbers should be
worn by those who go into the cedar
swamp.
Trolley cars leave Rutland every 35
minutes for Fair Haven, starting from
point in front of the railroad depot. |
The trip may be made by the Della
ware and Hudson railroad, trains
starting from Rutland at a. m, 1890
a. m, Lib p. m, and 1926 p. m. The
distance is Is miles.
All persons wishing to take the West
haven trip should notify one of the
committee, preferably the chairman,
not later than July l.

MOTOR CARS ON WEST RIVER
ROAD

One Of the most important develop
ments in railroad passenger transpor-
tation in this locality in the history of
railroading, step which is likely to
be the forerunner of a revolution in
short line passenger transportation
in New England, is about to be inau-
gurated at Brattleboro. II is the in
stallation of electric train service on
the Central Vermont railroad between
Brattleboro and Mortified and Millers
Falls and on the West River railroad
out of Brattleboro. A trial car will
start the service about July /.
The plan is to use Beach Edison
storage battery cars, using Edison
batteries. These cars have been
brought to state Of practical eff
cheney for service of this kind, and
engineers employed by the Central
Vermont road to determine the best
type of equipment recommend the
Beach-Edison cars.
The trial car will make three or four
trips each day to Mortified and Mil
lers Falls and one trip each day 10
Townshend in the middle Of the after
noon, the trip to Townshend taking
the place Of the extra steam train
which has run on the West River road
the past two months.
If the trial car-proves its efficiency
as guaranteed by the builders the
railroad company will put in operation
two electric cars, with trailer for
extra service. Each motor will be
equipped with 240 Edison storage
batteries and an S0-horsepower motor.
Each car will be IS feet long and have
capacity for ~ passengers besides
baggage, express and mail compart-
ments. The trailer, which will be kept
for use when traffic requires it, will
be equipped with batteries only and
will carry from 40 10 so passengers.
The cars are rated TO operate at any
speed required. 1t is expected that a
car will run to Millers Falls in three

How to Mako q Kitchen Garden.

Do not soak 1t as this might rot the

earth from caking when the sun is hot

The speaker of the day was Rev.
Arthur H. Bradford of Rutland, pas
tor of the Congregational church in
that city, who took for his subject
Rosartis" and the other from the
in a masterful manner and in a way
that was greatly appreciated by his
hearers. This is the first time that
Mr.. Bradford has been heard in Man
chester and the desire was expressed
by several that they should like to
hear him again.
Mr.. Bradford took two texts, one
from Thomas Carlyle's "sartor
Rosarti1 and the other from the
scripture, Micah WIS.
The speaker then went on to say
that these texts suggested a certain
kind Of life: The life Of duty and
vision; the life Of routine and ideals;
the Affirmative Life; while its motto
would be "Do right Be kind! Trust
Godr'
He said that this was a fitting time
