SENATOR AsTIN HERE.
Working for School Separation and to
Amend Warehouse Law.

Senator J. R. Astin came in from
Austin yesterday afternoon TO look
after business matters here and on
his plantation. He was a pleasant
caller at The Eagle office this morn
ing and discussed entertainingly for
short time past and pending legisla-
ton.
Senator Astin is vitality interested
in the affairs OF the A. & NJ. College
and is exceedingly ANXIOUS TO have
the separation resolution that recent
ly passed the House by such an over
whelming majority. passed in the Sen
ate. He is working tirelessly for its
passage and has taken several polls
of the Senate and believes the propo-
sition is safe. II requires two-thirds
majority, or twenty-one votes In the
Senate, and he says the last poll, made
only a day or two ago, shows a GER
tainty OF twenty-one, with two doubt
full. He believes on the final vote the
resolution will pass with one or two
votes to spare. He is now working to
have II brought over from the House
rushed through committee and have
II printed as soon as possible, so II
/ can be brought to a hearing and vote
He is very hopeful of its passage.
Senator Astin is also interested in
a bill he has introduced in the Senate
to amend or modify certain parts Of
the permanent warehouse law. He
says under this law the three extra
samples the law requires and the ex
ira bagging will make tax OF at least
one dollar a bale, which Of course
comes out OF the grower. He figures
this extra tax will cost the farmers o
, Texas at least four million dollars {
: year. He is working to save then
. this enormous and useless expense.
Senator Astin will return to Austir
in time to be present at the opening
OF the Senate on Monday morning.

HOW TO TELL WHETHER
SPRING WILL BE LATE

On the causes OF a late spring a
contributor IN the current issue Of
Farm and Fireside writes as follows:
Il am not a weather expert OF an
old or weather wise man. but ! think
/ have three very good reasons for a
late or backward spring, namely:
First. deep SHOWS until late winter.
Second. deep frozen ground.
Third. a constant drive OF Polar
winds southwark.
MY reasons for these: The first
and the greatest cause is deep SHOWS.
The snow prevents the ground from
freezing. hence when the snow is
melted. It thoroughly saturates the
earth with icy water which must be
warmed before the earth can receive
spring. which is ruled by the lateness
OF the thaw.
Second. deep and hard frozen
ground. The frost must be drawn "a
the surface to be melted, and much
of this water has to be evaporated by
the air.
Third, and a very frequent. cause
is the Polar winds driving back the
south winds and warm showers which
hurry on spring more lively than an,
other element"

In the bulletin for June Of your State
board of health I find an outline Of the
program Of what may he briefly called
health week in Vermont and I think
without eNaggeration it may b. said -
be tho finest example of the DEVELOPMENT
of public health work of any state or
province on the continent. Nowhere have
| known of such complete methods being
adopted for educating not alone the
health officers but also the profession
and public on public health work. II Is

and to the people of Vermont

we have 10 deal with relate especially
to the protection against outbreaks II

those assoc lated with the aggregation Of
a number II human units on the same

solve themselves into three classes,
supervision OF foods and drinks, disposal
OF oXcreta and control of communicable

! heavy penalties resulting from not pay

HEALTH OFFICERS AND LAW
Mayor stafford of Rutland the Speaker
mt Closing Session of Annual school
of Instruction.

The 18th annual school Of instruction
for the health officers of the State will
go down into record as one OF the most
successful ever held. The school of in
struction came to a close in this city Sat
urday morning at the high school build
ing, where sessions were opened Wedres-
day evening. The speakers were picked
from among the very best authorities on
their subjects and tho officials in charge
are to be congratulated upon the success
full outcome of their program. The at
tendance was never before any larger.
The last paper of the school was read
by T. l.. Stafford, mayor If Rutland, who
spoke Of Legal Matters Concerned In
the Duties of Health Officers Mr..
Stafford said in part:
/ The great quantity Of law relating to
public health is not to be seriously criti-
ciscd provided there is real need there
for Where there is real and pressing
evil We should have a law to meet it,
and in some cases at least 1t is wise tn
even anticipate trouble. An unnecessary
law Is usually a very serious mistake
We have too many laws on our statue
books which are never enforced, ana II
not strictly enforced they had better of
repealed There are inconsistencies
While the health officers can't order the
abatement OF a nuisance without the con
sent and approval Of the selectmen or al

Evergreen trees planted in hedges for

HOW TO PROVIDE ARTIFICIAL
SHADE.
Shade can be furnished artihcially ir
