The leading editorial in the New York
Times of Sunday, March I, was a dis
cussion of remarks of Hon. A. Barton
Hepburn, graduate and trustee of
Middlebury college, on clearances
through the new Federal Reserve
Banks. Mr.. Hepburn was quoted as
follows =
1.-THE Federal Reserve Board can rem
der great service to the country by
providing set of regulations for ia
cilitating domestic exchanges, but the
expense attached thereto should rest
on the man who draws the check and
not upon the bank on which the check
is drawn. For instance, customer of
bank in Arizona who draws a check
on bank in that State for the pur-
pose of paying a bill in Boston should
bear the expense caused by the trans
mission of the draft, loss of interest,
etc. His check is not worth par after
it reaches Boston fer this reason, and
he is the one that should make up the
deficiency"

BLACKBERRY PLANTATIONS.

Fruit Now Grown Successfully In Al
most Every Portion Of the Country.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Under good management an average
yield of 2.30O quarts of blackberries
per acre can be expected, according to
recent publication issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Where the soil is very deep and
rich and the best moisture conditions
are found this may be increased to
5000 quarts, and certain varieties on
the Pacific slope have even given 1000
quarts an acre. The last census show
ed that approximately $4,000 acres
were devoted to blackberry plantations
In the United States.
This acreage is distributed over prac-
tically the entire country. Missouri
leads with nearly G,000 acres, and New
Jersey is second with 1900. As mat
ter of fact, blackberries can be grown

which ought to be easily produced
Market possibilities are wholly neg
lected in many cases.
Now, if in selecting a garden plot all
elongated area is chosen and every
thing planted in rows much of the
heavy work is Unnecessary. The plot
can be plowed nine or ten inches deep
to begin with, thus doing away with
the back breaking work made neces-
sary in spading the garden. Then the
harrow can be used to do the work of
pulverizing and smoothing. By plant
ing the various crops in rows horse
cultivator further lightens the labor.
OF course the hand hoe has to be used
occasionally, and some of the weeds
may have to be removed by hand, but
the proposition is not a formidable one.
Do not forget that it is practically
impossible to get the soil too rich for
the ordinary garden crop. Well rotted
stable manure is always available on
every farm. Put on a large amount Of
this during the fall or very early In
the spring. Fan blowing is best. Gov
err the manure deeply.
In early spring. just as soon as the
ground can he worked. early vcgeta-
bles. like onions, radishes. lettuce and
peas, can be planted. Put in Il liberal
quantity. Sow lettuce and radishes
in succession Do not stop short of
three or four paintings. Allow about
ten days or two weeks to intervene
between each planting. The same
method can be employed with peas
Beets do not need to be treated in this
way. Then when all danger of frost

The Rutland Herald appears to con-
cede the failure of the Educational
Commissions Bill in the suggestion that
"it may be that the committee will be
faced by the necessity for a COM
promise, in which case the Herald
would most respectfully urge that the
main and underlying principle of first
of all, the common schools should have
serious and thoughtful considerations. ~
The contemporary adds that this con-
sideration should be had from the
standpoint of the barefoot boy, not Of
the esteemed, scholarly and loyal
President of Middlebury College, for
instance" That gentleman is doubt
less duly appreciative of the above adj
jectives, but it is barely possible that
he is fully as near the standpoint of the
barefoot boy as the gentlemen who sur
veyed the schools of Vermont from a
private car a summer or two since.

soil and in wide range of climates.
In the colder parts of the northwest
the severe winters frequently kill the
plants, and in the arid sections of the
west hot. dry winds destroy the ripen-
ing fruit. The choice of proper yarie-
ties, however, will do much to over
come natural difficulties.
In selecting a site for a blackberry
plantation the most important consid-
erations are the moisture of the soil
and the accessibility of a market. The
blackberry is tender fruit. the keep
ing qualities of which are seriously af-
fected by jarring over rough roads. 1t
is, moreover, essential that the berries
should be placed on the market as
quickly as possible after they are
picked if they are to command Il good
price. The best land is Il deep, fine
sandy loan with a large supply of
humus and abundant moisture at the
ripening season. On the other hand.
the plants are often killed if water
stands on the plantation during the
winter.
The year before the establishment of
the blackberry plantation the land
should be planted with cultivated
crop. This insures the thorough rot
ting of the sod and will help to destroy
the cutworms and other insects in
furious to the young plants. The soil
should be plowed to Il depth of about
nine inches in the spring and
thorough narrowing should be given
the whole field before the plants are
set This is usually done as early in
the spring rs the land can be properly
prepared. The earlier the plants are
set the larger the proportion that live
and the better their growth. The
roots should be set deep for the canes
break easily if the crowns project
above the surface of the ground. The
tops should be cut back to six inches
or less in length. Cultivation is nee
essary, and the plants should there
fore be set sufficiently far apart to
permit of it.
During the first summer some inter
crop may be grown between the rows,
which will greatly reduce the cost of
the berry field that year. This should
be one that requires constant cultiva-
ton and at the same time one whose
growth will not be large enough to
shade the blackberry plants Such
truck crops as cabbage and potatoes
are excellent for the purpose, while
corn and small grains should be avoid

WHAT PRESIDENT THOMAS SAID

Judge Watson seriously misquoted
the President of Middle bury College in
his remarks at the hearing on the Edu-
cational Bill on March 4th. He made
it appear that DR.. Thomas had pro-
posed plan to pay in part the salaries
of college graduates as teachers in
cities like Burlington and Rutland,
whereas the plan actually suggested
was confined to rural, one-room schools
and had nothing to say of college grad
yates. 1t suggested that where a town
would pay minimum salary of Sl1 a
week in district school and secure a
full high school and normal graduate,
SO per week should be rebated from
State funds. with smaller rebates for
teachers of less training. This would
spend the money Tor the benefit of the
children and make it worth while for
teachers to secure thorough prepare
tion.
The distinguished jurist also tried to
make it appear that DIR. Thomas had en-
dorsed the despotic State authority
over schools contemplated in the Edu-
cational Bill. This was done by omis-
sion of some very important sentences
in his statement to the Educational
Commission, as follows:-
ut need not be urged that the people
should be dealt with frankly in this
matter and not deceived into FORGETTING
rights which they have enjoyed, in

ADMITS ERROR.

Bismarck Tribune: The recent fig
ures as given out by the secretary of
state relative to the population of Mi
not, were entirely wrong, according to
more recent figures. The fault, how
ever, was entirely with the Minot
enumeration, or whoever sent in the
census books. Ten pages of names,
averaging about 40 names to the page,
were not totaled, and consequently
were not counted. The mistake was
made in the figures turned in for the
Second ward. An error was also found
in the figures forthe Third ward.
The books were sent back to Minot
for correction by the secretary Of state
and it will probably be several weeks
before the correct figures are procur-
able. Minot's population, however,
will be we'll over 10000.
