County Agricultural Association Notes

The hay crop looks to be a. little
below the average throughout the
county, but man who has covered the
state says the crop is better in Orleans
county than in any other county.
The county agent has been conduct
ing someaa demonstrations for exter-
mination of kale in grain. From indi-
cations to date most of the demonstra-
tions show that by using a spray of
sulphate of iron. 100 pounds to SO
gallons of water it will kill from 80 to
80 per cent of the kale. if taken at the
proper stage of growth.
This week the county agent is con-
Quoting local excursions to visit the
grass demonstrations in the vicinity of
Orleans, Bloomington, Greensboro and
Craftsbury. This is part of the plan
for the summers work to acquaint the
farmers with what the association is
trying to do and let them see for them
selves and draw their own conclusions
from the methods demonstrated.

Tributes to DR.. Seaver.

Several weeks ago the Monitor made
short mention of the death of one of
Orleans county's prominent sons, DR..
Jay W. Seaver at Berkeley, Cal. More
than passing mention may we'll be
made of such distinguished son. DR..
Seaver leaves relatives in Orleans
county.
For many years DR.. Seaver lived at
Chautauqua, N. Y, where he lent in
great measure to the success of the
institutions of that place. The re-
mains were buried in Chautauqua and
glowing tributes paid the memory of
the man. "The Chautauqua Weekly"
speaks of DR.. Seaver thus: ga great
heart. absolute honesty, boyish zest in
life. and unfailing interest in everyone
of whatever walk in life with whom he
came In contact endeared DR.. Seaver
to multltudes." Personal testimony at
the funeral was given by several men
of prominence and all spoke of the
tremendous influence for good which
had been exerted by his life in up
building influences and in denouncing
evil. Something of DR.. Seaver's off
cial and professional responsibilities
may be gained from further quotation
from the Chautauqua Weekly:
"His death is a severe blow to the
Institution and to the large numbers
of individuals because Of his important
official and professional responsibilities
on the one hand and his extraordinary
gift of personal friendship and helpful
ness on the other. DR.. Seaver had
been connected with the Chautauuua

About 45 of the friends of Roy
Leonard gathered at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Leonard,
Monday evening to remind him of his
18th birthday. A very pleasant even
ing was spent playing games. A sum
of money and several other useful gifts
served.
The Pillsbury- Baldwin plant was
sold at auction Thursday to Fred
| Gilman of St. Johnsbury. It is under
stood that it was bought on specula-
ton. as it sold at very low figure.
| The water power and land are certainly
valuable and ultimately some one
should be found who can use the factory
| buildings for some sort of industry.
! Friends here of Mr.. and Mrs. C. H.
Palmer of Burlington are sorry to
| learn that by an accident Mr.: Palmer
recently lost his left foot, which was
taken off just above the ankle, and
Mrs. Palmer lost two fingers of the
right hand. They are both improving
at present. Mr.. Palmer was an en-
ployee of the Monitor Office last year,
leaving here in November.
At the auction Thursday of the
Pillsbury block on Main street, r. P.
Webster purchased the property. Mr..
Webster intends raising the building

ness. the two upper stories as tene-
ments. The building is 45x6O and will
accommodate a large amount of
storage. as we'll as having good side

CHAUTAUQUA TALENT.

The youngest band director in the
world will appear at Orleans with his
band and will give concert as part of
the fourth days program of the Com
munity Chautauqua there. This is
Master Angelo Vitale, but mere mite

tall, who has already toured the world
at the head of a seventeen-piece band
and has appeared before such noted
audiences as Pope Plus x, King
George of England, King Emanuel of

many.
But Vitale, the director is not only a
great band leader. he is an expert
snare drummer and cornetist as well,
and those who attend the Chautauqua

selections played on the cornet by him.
Vitale's band gives a varied and
interesting program-ranging from the
most popular "classics" to the latest
bit of raRtime.
But as interesting in it's way as
Vitale's band will be the appearance
on the third day of the Community

Will Open an Inn at Lake WilIoughby

Amory Seaver and sister, Miss
Clemma Seaver, two of Barton's pro-
gressive young folks, are expected
this week to open new hotel at the
South end of HTilloughby lake. This
house was formerly a part of the
Richardson hotel, we'll known by sum-
mer people for many years, and was
the house not burned at the time of
the fire. The property is now owned
by F. P. Thrasher of Willoughby and
has been leased to Mr.. and Miss Seaver
for a hotel. 1t has been thoroughly
repaired. painted and paperei and
presents very attractive appearance.
1t will in many ways be an attractive
place for tourists and summer people.
It is wonderfully well located with it's
view of Old Mount Pisgah and the
lake and has splendid grounds all about
it, for all sorts of summer sport. We
understand it is. to be called the
"Pisgah Lodge That it will be we'll
managed and the sort of place tourists
and guests will frequent, is assured by
all who know the people who are hand
ling it. and the service we are sure
will be excellent. The accommodations
for rooms are limited, therefore if you
intend making a protracted stop, and
we are sure many will wish to do so,
you should engage rooms in advance.
We are quite sure that everyone in
town will have registered at this new
resort during the next few months and
that all of the county will now avail
themselves of the beautiful scenery at
Lake WiIloughby and will stop here to
enjoy the hospitality of the enterpris-
ing host and hostess.
