have had connection with the legisla-
ture now brought to close. Each of
them has presided over his branch of the
general assembly in manner that was
eminently fair and each has had a pur
pose to conclude the business of the ses-
sion within a reasonable length of time.
Moreover, there have been few of the
tangles which might have been run into
by men less experienced in the business
of legislation; and the absence of those
tangles has contributed largely to the
expeditions manner in which the business
was conducted, once the organization got

MINISTER'S IN POLITICS.
Springfield Reporter.

Those who think that religion and
politics do not mix are respectfully re-
referred to the records of two Metho-
dist ministers in the Vermont Legisla-
ture. Rev. j. Wesley Miller of Bethel
is now serving his fourth term in the
House and is generally regarded as
one of the leaders. AS chairman of
the Industrial school committee and a
member of the important committee of
ways and means and municipal corpo-
ration he has done faithful and eff
cient work. Rev. Arthur w. Hewitt
of Planfield has been chairman of the
educational committee and his eloquent
defence of the educational bill I'M
doubtedly saved the bill from defeat.
His speech was generally regarded as
one of the most convincing that has
been delivered in Representative Hall
for many years and the press of the
State have warmly commended him for
his efforts. This from the Middlebury
Register is, perhaps, the best of many
deserved tributes;
AT the close of Mr.. Hewitt's speech
a wave of tense emotion swept over
the chamber, silent, reverend and
deep. Strong men left the room, COM
pletely overcome. The House advanced
the bill without word except the sub.
dued formula of the Speaker, and a
few moments after the modest mar
who had swayed the Vermont Legis
lature as few have ever moved it,
took the hand of the little woman who
had journeyed down from the little
Methodist parsonage back in the hills
and neither of the two seemed to know
that one of the great scenes in the his
tory of Vermont's work for her chill
dren had just been enacted"
1t is such effective work as this OF
the part of two Vermont clergymel
that makes the efficient life, and Their,
are plenty of other ministers in tn,

just as much for the public good out

ASHES AS FERTILIZER.

Director Bradlee of the Agricultural
College sends out warning as to the
mixture of wood ashes and commercial
fertilizer He says: Many farmers are
writing to the Vermont Agricultural
Extension Service inquiring whether
wood ashes may not be mixed with
their commercial fertilizers in order to
supply in part the shortage of potash
brought about by conditions due to the
war. Apparently many Vermont farm
ers are planning this to accomplish
their purpose. They will but make a
bad matter worse, for wood ashes con-
tain lime; and lime and acid phosphate,
which is the source Tof the phosphorc
acid in practically all our commercial
fertilizers, are what the doctors call
''incompatibles". Lime when mixed
with acid phosphate tends to make once
more insoluble large part of the

BETTER THAN EVER.

The concerted move to withdraw State
aid from the Vermont colleges and to
abolish the normal schools didn't pan
out very big. In fact, after the smoke
blew away it was found that all of these
institutions were left in better shape
than ever The college appropriations
are continued on permanent basis and
the medical college receives more The
normals are materially bettered in posi-
ton. The Carnegie report, in its radical
stand toward these several institutions,
met with little popular favor, as the out
come shows. The feeling that the
money devoted to this service is well ex-
pended carried without much opposition.
Ways were found of extending addition
al aid to the public schools without cut
ting off the colleges and normals

available phosphoric acid. Further
more, under some conditions the nitro
gen of the fertilizer may in part be
driven off in the air. And finally, pota-
toes. grown on fertilizers in which
wood ashes enter to any extent, are
the more likely on that account to be
scabby.
If the user of commercial fertilizer
wishes to put more potash on his soil
than his fertilizer contains, let him APP
ply the wood ashes and the commercial
fertilizer at intervals of a week or two
apart. Even under these conditions
the phosphoric acid may be to some
extent effected, but very much less
damage will be done than if the two
were mixed together.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1915-04-16

Judging from the windfalls that keep
coming to it, Middlebury college will
soon be in position to aid the State
instead of receiving aid from it. The
Battel will makes the institution owner
of about all the standing timber on the
Green Mountain range that Hapgood
doesn't control. Everybody rejoices,
nevertheless, in Middlebury's accumula-
tions, for it will all be used to good
public purpose, under the wise guiding
hand of one of New England's greatest
college presidents, John M. Thomas.
