Vermont Notes

Here and There.
Corn Crop 10 lie One of Best in Years
Due 10 Recent Heat.

The intense heat of the past week has
been of very great value to farmers in
Vermont in ripening what promises to be
one of the best corn crops OF recent
years. During the early part Of the sea-
son the state suffered from lack OF rain
and It was July before rains came in
abundance Crops In Vermont there
fore, were retarded by lack Of moisture.
While In portions of the middle West
they were delayed in development by an
excess of rain. During the past few
years the use of the silo has increased
to a remarkable extent in Vermont so
that 1t is probable that no other equal
area In the United States contains as
many silos as may be found in this
state. When corn Is to be placed In
the silo there Is not quite the same ankle
~ over early frosts that there used to
bo when practically all OF the corn must
be husked. This year. however. with
out decreasing the amount of corn grown
for silage purposes 1t Is said that more
corn than usual has been raised for har-
vesting the cars in order to economize
on the buying Of feedstuffs. While the
Vermont farmers income Is much lar
ger than 1t was n few years ago, he
spends no small portion of It In the pur-
chase OF western stock feed. If he would
raise more and buy less the wealth Of
Vermont might be increased materially.
