BY MAURICE FLOYD.
THE home Gamer has been

~ HE home canner has been or
great benefit to farmers In help
ing them save surplus fruit,
vegetable and berry crops which
would otherwise have gone to waste
for want of market, But after the
goods are canned, if there is a sur
plus above the home needs, there is
yet the problem Of marketing to be
solved. Unfortunately all farmers do
not put up home canned goods OF a
uniformly high grade. consequently
the grower with first-class product
sometimes has to convince the dealer
that his goods are up to the mark
before he will consent to handle
them.
Then. too. home canned goods, even
of the best quality, are not uniform.
That Is, one farmers pack will not
be exactly like anothers. which is
apt to cause the dealer embarrass-
ment and the customer to hesitate
about purchasing such goods when
he can get the factory product of
known grade and reliability.
The solution of this difficulty, how
ever, lies in selling direct to the cou-
sumner. Then the farmer who turns
out high-grade product will find a
growing demand for his goods. be-
cause his customers will soon learn
that they can depend on his product;
and it is a well-known fact that home
canned goods, put up properly. are
superior to the factory product.
Selling direct to the consumer is
not always an easy matter, however
for not every farmer can spare the
time needed to work up a trade. T
H. Dyer, busy Texas fruit grower
has solved this problem, though, and
secured buyers for his canned fruit

Make Tt Short and Sweet.

Several of the newspapers of the
state have commended the Vermont
general assembly of 1915, largely for
the reason that the session was some
days shorter than the session of 1912.
Presumably the praise given the pres
ent Legislators would have been pro
portionately stronger if the session
had been even shorter. The best that
can be now hoped is that the session
Ct 1917 will win still further ecomi-
ums by reducing it's length of days
over those consumed by the recently
adjourned body. It is probably true
that the legislature which will repeal
the most statutes, enact the fewest
new laws and cost the state the least
money, will stand foremost in the ia.

Mr.. Ware Of TowIlshend.
Rutland Herald

huIlaud 1eIdIu.
The Brattleboro Reformer very
properly calls the Herald's attention to
the services of Representative John H.
Ware of Townshend. who, it declares,
was entitled to recognition among 20
Legislative leaders While Mr. Ware 5
quiet services did not appeal to this
newspaper as of the commanding type
necessary to place in the fore-f front,
it is with real pleasure that one re-
views his legislative record.
Mr.. Ware Is a seasoned member,
having served in the houses of 1892
and 1894 and in the senate of 1904.
He did excellent work as chairman of
the committee on immi grafton and la
Dor, handling the workmen s compen-
sation act among other bills, and also
sat on the committee on ways and
means, which handled the state tax
problem.
The district court bill was his chief
work, however, to which he devoted
unlimited and untiring energy. Framed
by former Municipal Judge Daley of
BrattlebOro, this bill was attacked on
all sides, and was considerably amend
ed before it passed the house and
weathered the storms Of the senate.
Even in q committee disposed to ia
yor cheaper and easier Justice, the
bill would probably never have emer-
ged had it not been for the unremit-
ting exertions of the gentleman from
Townshend.
In other matters, the Herald could
hardly commend Mr.. Ware s position
SO freely.

Elihu Root, ex-secretary of, state and
ex-senator, who Is at the head of the New
York state constitutional convention, has
been rated as a conservative, but he sees
the handwriting that tells of the need and
imminenee of progress. ''To attain the
ends which everyone agrees ought to be
obtained he says, 1t appears necessary
that government shall interfere to much
greater extent than in former times with
the complicated and interdependent life
Of the people" This is no new thought;
it is a commonplace But that it is ut
tered by Mr.. Root is significant of the
spreading realization of the inevitable
coming Of new ideas and their application
to present and pressing problems. Pro
gressveness has struck and preached even
