BOYS CORN AND POTATO CLUB
CONTEST

An important department in the
Better Farming Exhibit to be held
in Manchester next November will be
the Boys Corn and Potato Clubs Ex-
hibit and 100 boys are wanted to COM
pete for the prizes which will be of
fered. The value Of these prizes will
aggregate $1l0; half for the corn and
half for the potato contest, besides
ribbons and certificates.
Last year we had our first Boys
Corn Club Contest, this year the
Potato Club Contest has been added
and both will be carried out on a
arger scale. This work should inter
est every boy in Bennington County,
IS it is not only an opportunity for
MIN to gain valuable experience in
farm work but also to win valuable
prizes.
The rules covering the Contest are
much the same as last year. Any
boy in the County between the ages
If 40 and Is years is eligible TO
compete; in the corn contest he must
agree to grow one-half tacre of corn
and in the potato contest one-eighth
lcre Of potatoes. In either case he
must do all the work himself with the
possible exception of the .plowing
which he may have done for him if
necessary.
The Contests will be under the gen
,ral charge Of the County Agent who
will be on hand to aid the contestants
1t every point in the work. In any
locality from which a sufficient num-
Der of boys are enrolled he will Or
ganize local Boys Corn Club or
Boys Potato Club and arrange to
meet them at regular intervals.
Where such local clubs are formed it
should be with the cooperation Of
the residents and organizations in
the neighborhood, particularly Of the
teachers, school superintendents and
the Oranges.
The boys in the Contests should
agree: |. To attend, if possible, all
field and local meetings called by the
County Agent or by teacher or
superintendent working with him. 2.
TO follow carefully the instructions
given by the U. s. Dept. of Agricul-
lure or its agents, which will be fur
aished 3. To keep an accurate ac-
count Of all items of expense, re-
ceipts, observations in connection
With growing the crop; crop report
blank will be furnished for this pur-
pose. 4. To make an exhibit At local
and County exhibitions. s. To fill
out the regular Crop Report Blank
and forward same TO County Agent
at the end Of his work. 6. To give
a written account Of How | Made

ing them to form their own decisions
wherever /, Is practicable, may save
them from much future vcxation, va
and worry.
There is also the art Of keeping
cool, which, though a difficult ono for
the exeitable nature, is not impossi-
BILE 70 acquire. Different motives will
appeal 10 different men in such an
effort One who wishes TO command
respect might reflect on the very un-
dignihed nature Of worry. II ex-
poses his weakness. IL renders him an
object of pity, II lowers his distine'
tinction. No one who has seen him
lose his calmness and presence OF
mind, who has watched him give way
TO fretful complaints and petty ankle
ties, can ever hold him in quite the
same honor as before. Such n one,
rejecting on these things, will strive
at least 10 appear quiet and compos-
ed, even when he is really much dis
turbed, and this effort 10 avoid the
expression Of feeling always tends to
allay the feeling itself. Another, who
is truly kind hearted, may notice the
trouble he is inficting upon others
by his own disquiet, and sympathy
may cause a beneheent self-restraint-
Or reasonable view Of life itself,
with its ever changing conditions
may impress an intelligent man with
the waste of force involved in fret
ting or chafing over all its disappoint-
ments. Reflection, whatever form II
takes, will always tend to convince
as Of the folly and the injury Of this
habit, and lead Us to resist its fatal
grip upon our character. - Brattle-
boro Reformer,

Forest Planting BY the Fsirhsnks
Scale Company.

II has sometimes been saidby those
skeptical Of forestry propaganda.
that little could be expected In this
country Of private enterprise In for.
est planting. The process along
this line in Vermont has, therefore.
been all the more gratifying. There
is probably no state In the country
where a larger percentage Of the pop
ulation has undertaken forest plant
ing than Vermont. Orders received
by the State Nursery are already
larger than ever before, and come
from oil classes Of owners. Farmers
and lumbermen, particularly. are
making encouraging beginnings. but
perhaps the most noticeable work IL
that Of several manufacturing com
panies, which utilize q large amount
Of lumber and wood in their business.
and which are beginning to raise the
supply to meet their own demands.
One Of the FIRST companies Of this
kind TO plant forests was the Newton
4 Thompson Manufacturing Company
Of Brandon, which uses large
amount Of lumber In the manufac-
ture Of toys and novelties. The Es-
tey Organ Company Of Brattleboro
began last year the raising Of white
pine for the large boxes or crates IN
which their instruments are packed.
Other manufacturing companies. sim
ilarly interested, are the Bridgcwster
Woolen Company, and the Vermont
Marble Company.
Recently the largest order ever re
ceived by the State Nursery has come
from the Fairbanks Scale Company
Of st. Johnsbury. This company.
which uses large amount Of lumber
every year, Is TO plant 100000 white
pines the present spring. According
to the estimates Of the State Forestry
Department, these trees, II properly
planted and protected. should produce
in 40 years about 2h million feet Of
lumber. At stumpagc value Of SO
per thousand feet this plantation
should be worth in 1854 about S25. 900.
TO manufacturing company like the
Scale Company, 1t will probably be
worth more because Of their own spec
al market.
