The outlook for the reorganization
of the Boston s. Maine railroad is
dark. The governor of New Hampshire
refuses to call special session of the
legislature unless the stockholders of
the leased lines and the Boston &
Maine interests get together and agree
on some draft of a bill. The controlling
interests in the leased lines have mani
Tested irreconcilable opposition to the
form of reorganization, proposed by the
trustees of the Boston & Maine road
and to which the Legislature of Massa
chusetts has given its assent. Maturing
obligations to a large amount are due
september l, and the problem of how
to meet them and thus avoid receiver
ship, is one which at the present time
is considered well nigh impossible, a
affairs stand today.

AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY.

The relation of agriculture to fores
try is interestingly discussed by State
Forester E. c.. Hirst of New Hampshire
in letter to the Manchester Union.
Great emphasis is placed on the i'm
portance of proper utilization of the
soil Mr.. Hirst points out that forestry
does not mean the raising of trees on
land that can more profitably be de-
voted to farm crops, no more than ag-
Iriculture means the hopeless cultivation
of rocky hillsides that should be grow
ing trees. Progress, both in agriculture
and forestry, depends on a knowledge
of what is true agricultural soil and
what true forest soil.
| BY nature both New Hampshire and
/ Vermont are states where forestry will
always be important. The fact that
much of their land is better adapted to
forests than to farm crops is proven by
The experience of generations of pioneer
farmers who toiled on the rough hills
only to abandon them finally for the
fertile plains of the Middle West In
the course of this emigration much real
ly good farm land has.sbeens allowed. &c
grow up to forest, which is as much an
economic sin as clearing poorer areas
that always should have remained
woodland. One of the problems of Yer
mont as well as New Hampshire is tt
see that every acre of soil is brought
20 its highest yield whether that yielv
5c pine or potatoes.
That Vermont land owners are tak1n.
Il more intelligent interest in forestry
is indicated by the increasing humble
of requests for practical information
that comes to the state forestry depart
ment. These requests are not confined
! to the subjects of tree planting, bu
pertain to the proper care of existin;
woodlands. Along this line the advic
of an expert forester is of more vaia
| even than on the subject of planting
| for it is an extremely difficult under
/ taking to cut off an old forest so tina
Il 1t will reseed to desired species. Al
Il though hampered by a scarcity o
technical assistants the state forestr
II department. has been able thus far f
Il meet all demands for advice, and in sel
eral localities land owners are demand
Il ing an annual call from a department
4 expert to mark out their winters GU

II forest cutting promises much in til
| way of conserving the timber suppl
| of the future, and as the knowledge G
II forestry spreads land owners will CON

lem of utilizing their holdings to IL

standing both agriculture and forestr

a refund of $15,0OO,000 is being
made to owners of Ford automobiles
who purchased their machines since
Aug. /, 1914, in accordance with a
promise of the company of that date.
that if 100000 of its machines should
be sold during the ensuing year each
buyer would receive a refund of from
$40 to 500. The 100000 point was
reached on the afternoon of July 10
The Ford company wishes this refund
considered strictly in accordance with
its profit-sharing policy. Thinking
people viii be glad so to regard it and
equally glad to encourage with their
| approval a policy that, if generally
employed would bring the consumer
and the producer to something like
the same plane of interest. The com
pany is able to carry on this great re
bate distribution because of the extra
ordinary sale of its product. To thi
sale every purchaser of the year con
trlouted, and in the profits every suel
purchaser is to share. The thing i
remarkable, but it bears the stamp o
equity, and such distributions shout,
be less remarkable in the future

The Highway Problem.
(Ludlow Tribune.)

(Ludlow Tribune.)
Is Brattleboro getting what it should
from the money it spends on roads?''
This is a question asked by The Brat
tleboro Reformer, and it is question
that may wisely be passed along from
town to town and given local applica-
ton; because the roads of a town, like
the schools of a town, demand business
ability for the handling of the moneys
appropriated, and it not infrequently
happens that the town fails to get, in
these two departments, all it is en-
| titled to for the cash it devotes in that
direction. The importance of the high
way, especially from the standpoint of
business, is coming to be realized
more and more, and it is especially
| desirable that highway funds fall into
the hands of men who understand
highway construction and are able to
supervise that construction in such q
way as to secure the greatest possible
improvement for the amount appropri
ated. The best of roads are none toe
good, and the better the road the safer
! is. travel, and the more profit is in tho
teaming transactions over them.

old Vanderbilt, author of the historic
remark, Tthe public be damned The
Bridgeport concern, which has strike
of its employees as problem, refuses
to give out any information and tells
the newspapers the trouble is 'None
of your business. This attitude is an
insult to the public as well as the news
papers and goes long way to knock
out sympathy for the company. The
Hartford Courant comes back with this
retort which the munition makers may
consider worthy of notice: ''When you
come right down to it, publishing a
newspaper to tell readers what is hap
pening in the world is quite as reputable
a trade as making things for people
to kill each other with. =

Natural Ice in July.

Vermont has a spot that if generally
known would attract many automo-
bilists seeking a cool place on warm
day. 1t is located in the town of Wal.
hngford and is known as the Walling-
ford ice gorge. 1t is on the mountain
side about four miles south and east
from the village of WalIingford. Last
Friday, very hot day, the editor, his
wife, and the Hon. J. E. Buxton and
Mrs. Cliff of Middletown Springs Wis
Iited the place and the temperature was
not above go all day Ice was in plain
| sight among the rocks and fine
spring of ice water flowed from under
the great mass of rocks piled for hun
dreds of feet up the end of the mount
ain. Not fly or insect invaded the
cool glen and we found it the most
pleasant place to spend a hot day ever
visited in Vermont.

The MeddLer
If the coat fits you. put Il on"

Judging from the number of automo-
lie tourists seen going through Brat
tleboro this summer one would hardly
ct the impression that this town was
OF on the main route between New
York and the resort region of northern
Few England, yet it is fact that more
this traffic than ever before is going
round instead of through this par
icular corner of Vermont. The public
ty that has been given to New Hamp-
hires trunk line highways has led
arge numbers of tourists bound for
he White mountains to cross the Con-
ecticut at Mortified, Mass, and CON
niue their journey northward on the
asst side of the river. Then, too, the
Iohawl1 trail is diverting much traf-
that formerly came through here on
is way to Manchester and the Cham
lain region. This diversion naturally
as caused a falling off in business
mong the hotels hereabouts, and the
wners thereof are casting about for 9
| emedy for the trouble.

One suggestion is that signs directing
ourists in this direction be placed at
advantageous points along the highways
n Massachusetts, but The Meddler
oes not believe that much benefit
5ould come of this under existing con
itions. The principal reason why au-
omobile tourists 90 to the east or the
west of us lies in the fact that they
nd better roads by so doing, and un-
il the main highways hereabouts are
improved there is little use in advertis-
ng. What the people of this county
hould insist upon is the construction
q good road northward from the
earest point on the Massachusetts line
TO which that state has extended per.
|manent construction. 4 stretch of ex
client road from Bernardston village
o the state line in Guilford has been
pened this year. If connecting

winging traffic this way.
