growing districts of the Pacific coast.
Even in varieties like the Jonathan and
Delicious which are recognized as western
varieties and supposed to do better there.
the Vermont showing of these varieties
proved superior. The great Everett orch.
ards at Bennington found themselves
barred on some varieties because their an.
pies were so large that they We're above

which fixed the standard of size for each
variety. Several Vermont exhibitors lost

down Its length. We regret that the up
per Connecticut valley is not included
because 1t seems to those who live In its
environments one Of the fairest valleys
in the land but eight days is a short time
to see the State in. We realize that every
inch of its scenery Is attractive and thai
necessarily some even of its best must be
omitted from any tour Of reasonable
length. However. the grand old Connec-
ticut is not likely to be left out OF motor
lists plans as 1t Is one of the direct routes
to the White mountains and it has COM

tor enthusiasts. Every bit OF publicity
work like that done by Mr., Proctor Is
of immense value to the State as 1t is in
truth an "unspoied land" and to a GER

are attracted to the state by some such

storm. insect pests and human ineftlciency.

were too much for his feeble efforts. Yet

REPORT ON GEMS,

The United States Geological Survey
now has available for distribution it's an
nal statement on gems and precious
stones In 1914 The precious stones pro-
duced in the United States during that
year are valued at Sl24e5. A sapphire
OF good quality, which was cut into a
gem Weighing 3-S carats. was discover
ed in the gravel along the shore of Lake
Okoboji. Dickinson county. Iowa. in 1914
1t Is described as resembling n piece Of
blue bottle glass worn round and smooth
by attrition and is stated to be the corn
flower-blue variety and to have good,
velvety luster. This gem was probably
transported to the Lake Okoboj region
by leo during the glacial period along
with large variety of other minerals
and rocks and its original home can only
be surmised.
