which this might be possible, was more
than likely to be a. q rather late date
In the season, and knowing and appre.
eiating the Importance to your District
Of completing il at the earliest possible
time, it was decided by the Board Of
State engineers to recommend its as
sumption by the state, to which end
the proposals have been invited.
Now, IN this connection, it has been
thought necessary, owing to the diff
culties which have already been exper-
fenced by the United States on this
lsvee. and to appeal to the considera-
ton Of bidders, to, IS q precautionary
measure, prescribe certain special
Specifications which will require the
employment Of an Engineer-Inspector,
able TO perform instrumental work, to
specially locally'direct and report upon
the work as it progresses.
For this purpose, the Board Of State

The Potato Crop.

Mankind got along for centuries on
centuries without the aid of the potato
in solving the problem of existence. But
it is to be considered that in the days
before the potato population was rela-
lively sparse. 1t is almost incredible
how population increased after the in
PRODUCTION of the potato as an article of
food. 1t may not all have been due to
the potato, but that toothsome tuber
unquestionably had its share in the
feeding of the Increasing population of
the earth. And now has come a critical
period. The potato must continue to
be used as an article of food, or the cost
of living must be greatly enhanced. 1t
would all be simple enough if the potato
were permitted to grow under proper
cultivation without interference from
enemies. But there is the rub. The more
necessary the potato has become the
more its enemies have increased and
multiplied. Tho government is doing
what it can to help the farmer in the
fight, but even with the governments
help it is diseouraging. The Colorado
beetle was and is bad enough. although
he can be disposed of with timely appIi-
N1eiohS Va PNAi green. DuL the AOlOTNQ0
beetle is now recognized as one of the
least menacing of Abe enemies of the
potato. 1t hardly seems possible that
there be so many others. Two kinds of
wilt, leaf roll, curley dwarf, rosette and
mosaic, in addition to early blight. late
blight, rot and black leg. As the French
would express it, what shall one say
more? Paris green and water will settle
the account of the Colorado beetle. but
other treatment is required for these
other troubles of the potato. Tor these
there must be seed selection, crop sofa
tion, spraying with bordeaux mixture
and other things, all of which the govern
ment experts viii try to keep the farm
er posted about. Meanwhile it might
not be bad idea for each farmer to
follow Horace Greeley's advice in Civil
war time to plant one acre more. There
will be need of the potatoes. and with
good luck and the governments help one
may happen to have good crop.-Man-
chester Union.

TALK OF THE TOWN

James McDerment, who has been the
guest of G. b. Tilden of the Berlin road
for a few days, returned last night to
his home in Brookfeld.
At the West Second street baseball
park yesterday afternoon the North
Barre school team defeated the Spauld-
ing ninth graders by score of 8 to |.
The game was the first of series to be
played during the spring term by a
number of the city schools. Ricciarelli,
Guidici, Calderara and bowers for the
ninth grade team and Starr and Bruce of
North Barre were among the individual
stars. Another game win be played
later in the week.
Barre's finest are clad in brand fired
new uniforms, the finest OF blue and
the brightest of brass" After a con-
siderable delay, the new police uniforms
have arrived and have been distributed
to the men. The clothing was ordered
through the Lamorey clothing store.
Each man is fitted with regulation
police hat, coat, waisteoat and trous
ers. Owing to the fact that two new
men have been recently put on the force,
measurements were made as soon as
they were appointed Arrangements for
procuring suits were completed by the
aldermanic police committee.
The long arm of the law reached over
the hills to Chelsea Monday afternoon
and threatened for a time to interfere
with the wedding ceremony of man
whom local manufacturer was very
anxious to interview. The chase began
when an officer from the sheriff's de-
partment set out for Chelsea with an
absconding debtors writ. 1t was to be
served on one of the "loading heavies"
in the wedding, but before the deputy
reached his destination the ceremony
was over and the couple had started on
their honeymoon. Learning that the
groom was in the wedding party, the
deputy Immediately got Il touch with
other towns along the line to the near
est railroad. At South Royalton the
progress of the bridal pair was halted
by an inquisitive officer, who let them
depart on the promise of the groom to
pay stipulated sum. Later the Ran
dolph officer learned that he had under
charged the newly-wed and it was not
until the couple harassed on all sides
by deputies and eoRstables, were about
to board the train that the remainder
of the payment which the local sheriff
sought was forthcoming.
