SAFETY FIRST-AND LAST

The Central Savings Bank & Trust
company of Orleans, VT, has always
practiced the only bank policy which
insures safety first, last and always
for depositors. EIt is a policy which
demands that every investment out
side the routine affairs of the bank
shall be based upon the collective
judgment of its board of directors,
consisting of seven prudent successful
men.
The safety of bank does, not depend
upon the amount of deposits nor upon
! the amount of surplus and profits
| appearing in the annual statement.
Immense deposits and large surplus
and profits offer no security to a
depositor unles the combined assets of
the bank are we'll invested.
The Central Bank takes pride in the
amount of it's deposits and it's steady
accumulation of surplus and profits
but its appeal to the depositor is based
entirely upon it's safety first policy of
having a board of directors who in
fact direct. It's funds are not at the
disposal of the whims, likes or dislikes
of any one man. We aspire to, a still
higher place in the esteem of the
banking public as our policy of safety
first. last and always becomes more
thoroughly understood,

OUR MAPLE PRODUCTS.

AC may DG ACCUSED Oh over
enthusiasm about the possibilities of
the maple products of Vermont, and
over solicitude about the welfare of
the producer. but the income from the
maple sugar in Vermont is such a sub
stantial item in the cash income of the
Vermont farmer that it is we'll worth
looking after both from the producing
and marketing end. The Monitor has
before pointed out the fact that in
Orleans county alone the farmers re-
ceived cash income from maple goods
of nearly 100000 annually and that
this sum might be increased to $500. 900
with the available trees tapped and
good market. This is not a mean sum
of money.
The market and the producing of
good grade of goods is the problem
that needs attention just now and the
Orleans County Agricultural associa-
ton is the organization that can and
should help. If steps have not already
been taken for this year, immediate
action might be taken for cooperating
in marketing goods of standard quality
to advantage. It is quite apparent
that the open market for maple sugar
IS practically in the hands of monop-
oily. Scarcely pound of sugar from
this part of Vermont, which does not
go to special markets, goes to anyone
but the Carey company. There is good
evidence that there is someone behind
the Carey company. and it is generally
believed to be the American Tobacco
company.
Carey makes the market price for
ordinary pail sugar in this locality.
The point is this. Cannot the agricul-
tural association break this thing up
by selling the combined products of it's
members direct to the consumer
Might not the agricultural associations
OF Vermont work together upon such
a scheme. The products of the mem
bers of the association as a whole
would be large enough to command the
respect and attention of any large
buyer.
Another way to beat the open market
price, which is altogether too low, is
to make quality of goods that com
mands fancy prices in special markets
which are opening up from year to
year to the Vermont producer of maple
products of quality. Let the agricul-
tural association adopt a standard
color and quality, and then go after
special fancy markets, of which there
are many.
The publicity department of Yer.
mont last year secured the names OF
hundreds of persons throughout the
United States. who were interested in
buying in quantities from that required
in the household to wholesale ship
ments. This list may be bad by any
sugar maker by addressing Guy w.
Bailey, secretary of state, MONTPELIER.
The product of the Vermont maple is
the purest, sweetest and most health.
full delicacy to be found and a national
educational campaign to this effect.
similar to the campaigns carried on by
fruit growers organizations of Other
sections of the country, would put
dollars into the pockets of the owners
OF maple trees in this state.

The Other Side of the Plan of Co
operative Buying.

The Caledonia County Farm Bureau
has gone more extensively into cooper
ative buying than any other similar
organization in Vermont. This bust
ness can easily be overdone. but this
is not to say that the organization
referred to has exceeded reasonable
limits. Perhaps in matter like COM
mercial fertilizers, of which the Gale
donia bureau in conjunction with the
Orleans county bureau, has ordered
practically a rainload-substantia
twenty-five cars. to be distributed
among the farmers-the organization
| is not doing anything detrimental to
| the legitimate retail trade Of it's terri
tory. 1t is easy to see, however, how
this cooperative, direct buying may
create trade conditions that in the long
run will not be conducive to the com
mercial health or prosperity of that
section of the state. If this thing is
overdone, the farmers themselves will
realize it and suffer from it, perhaps
the first of all. The retail stores,
particularly in the small towns, de-
serve the support of the people of
their neighborhoods. The proprletors
of the general stores at the crossroads
are not over prosperous. They are a
great convenience in a great many
ways to those in their trading radius.
They are compelled to carry a varied
stock. for which they pay cash. anc
they dole this out to their customers,
for the most part in small lots and or
credit of greater or less duration. II
other words, the farmers of any county

from the manufacturers or the whole
salers, save on some items, but if they
drive the general store, with it's almos1
limitless accommodations. out of bust
ness, they will find themselves il
embarrassing situations very frequent
ly. 1t may be laid down as genera
rule that can be safely followed tina
it is to the ultimate advantage of th'
residents of the rural districts tt
cooperate with their good friends TIT
general store keepers. This is phas'
of the question of cooperative buying

BROWN ROT OF PLUMS

Along in the fall, when the leaves Of
fruit trees have fallen, many orchards
will show plum trees hanging full Of
small plums which will persist through
the winter, says Prof. C. w. Michel of
Brookings in the Dakota Farmer.
These dwarfed plums are known as
"mummies," and very probably are
affected with the brown rot" Brown
rot is the most serious disease with
which the plum, peach, and cherry
grower has to deal.
During the growing season the plums,
when affected, at first show small, cir
cular, brown, decayed spots. These
rapidly enlarge until they embrace the
whole fruit, which at the same time
shrinks slightly. AS the decay ad-
vances, small tufts of brown threads
appear near the center of the original
spots.
The fruit which has decayed may fall
to the ground or shrink to a dry mass
generally known as a mummy.
These mummied fruits are the chief
source of infection the following sea-
son under ordinary conditions.
Anything which destroys or covers
up these mummied fruits lessons the
spring infection. 1t is recommended
to knock them from their attachment
to the twigs, rake them from beneath
the tree and destroy or turn under
deeply. Every mummy fruit left hang
ing in the tree this winter near so
many more chances for infection this
following spring.
AS an added check to the disease,
the fruit should be sprayed the follow
ing season; the first time three or four
weeks after the petals drop; the last
about a month before the fruit ripens.
and the second midway between. The
spray recommended is known as the
lime sulphur mixture, made by mixing
10 pounds of sulphur and Is pounds of
good lime. Upon shaking the lime, the
sulphur is self cooked from the heat
generated and the mixture is finally
diluted to so gallons.

An Advertising Story.

At a recent gathering of advertising
men in New York this story was told:
A man entered a store one bitter cold
day and bought a wooden mufler.
When he opened the muffer he found
inside 1t the photograph of a beauti-
full girl, together with a note saying:
IF you are single, please write to
me-"
A name and address followed, and
the man smiled. He was single, and
he put the photograph on his sitting
room mantel. There, every evening,
looking up from his book, he beheld
1t. 1t was very beautiful and In a
week he had fallen head over heels
in love. So he wrote to the girl.
Another week passed. a week of
anxious nerve-racking suspense. Then
the lovesick man received this crush
