VERMONT FARMERS VIEW
Stowe Farmer Says Vermont Should Raise
More Wheat
Editor Mems and Citizen:--

| Editor Ne,os and Citizen:--
For what believe to be the welfare of
the public at large, but more especially
the people of Lamoile County, make
this appeal tor space in your most excel
lent paper for the purpose of setting
forth few thing that we should consid-
err for our industrial success under the
peculiar conditions that are thrust upon
us by the great war in Europe.
On December /, 2, 8 and 4, 1914. the
Massachusetts Dairymen's Association
and State Board of Agriculture held a
Joint meeting under the name of the Mas
sachusetts Milk, Cream and Butter Show
and, according to Prof. Cook, of the U.
S. Department OF Agriculture, was the
best ever held in this country of known
record Prof Eckles, of the Missouri Ag-
ricultural College, in his speech at this
meeting, said: "The day of cheap feed
for cattle as well as food for man is past
in this country, and our dairymen can
not reasonably expect to continue in the
business, if they do not adopt practices
to keep down cost of production and dis
tribution that would not have been con-
sidered worth while a few years ago."
We have come to the place where we
no longer think of raising grains tor
home consumption, but are depending
on the West and South for nearly every.
thing that we have in this line, until we
now face a price on -four that bids fair
to be almost prohibitive. Now, with
your permission. l would like to ask,
why do we depend on the West for our
flour? Is it because their land will pro.
duce more wheat than ours? No. In
the seven years that | was in the far
West, visited the cream of the wheat
producing land of the United States and
their yield is only 80 to 35 bushels per
acre. Our Vermont land will very easily
produce as much or more. Is it because
their land is cheaper? No. In travelling
through one of the greatest wheat pro-
ducing centers found the ruling price of
land was $3.50 per acre, which is much
higher than the price of cultivated land
in our section of the country. The aver
erage wheat crop of North and South
Dakota, which are considered great
producers of wheat, is far below
the productiveness of Vermont soil We
can and do raise one-third more wheat
to the acre then the Dakotas. Then,
why, Mr.. Farmer, do you pay Sc 90 or
more per barrel for your -four when you
can produce it yourself for 81 90 per bar
rel? In discussing this subject with sew
eral of our farmers, l have found many
that would SOW small acreage to
wheat this year, but they say, thee is
not mill in the country that we know
of where we can get our wheat put into
flour" We used to raise the wheat and
had the mills. We stopped raising wheat
and the mills went out for lack of GUS
toners. If we. the farmers OF Lamolle
County will raise the wheat, would not

who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully

The reason Vinol is so successful in
building up health and strength in such

of Gods livers together with the blood

Poor Chinese Business Rule.

1t is an established custom in
China that a new company must pay
dividends to its shareholders from the
first year of its existence, and this
forms invariably a clause of the
articles of association. Some con-
Germs which fail to realize a profit
have to contract high interest loan
in order to pay dividends in full. 1t
is this practice that compels COM
panies to contract loan after loan I'M
til they are plunged into a helpless
state. Furthermore, when a new
company is established, it is from the
start tied down to a system of COM
mission paying. In every purchase
as well as in every sale of the COM
pany a commission goes with it. which
is therefore counted into every pay
ment and receipt, thus occasioning the
need of an unnecessarily large amount
of capital

Forty Years Ago

lowing announcement-"Th ladies' of
the Spirtualist Society of Morrstowp and
Hyde Park will hold their annual levee
and oyster supper at Hyde Park on Fri
day evening, Jan. %, 1875. The literary
exercises will be at town hall, supper and

A note at the bottom of the bill states
that "The P. & o. Railroad will carry
ten or more persons from any station on

Russia's Monster AeropIanes.

A good deal has been heard concern
ing the British and German aero
planes, but the great Sikorsky BIZ
planes used by the troops of the c2ar
have been rather overlooked. These
machines, invented by famous Rus
sian named Sikorsky, are by far the
biggest aeroplanes being flown in the
warm fact, they are the largest in
the world. They stand 16 feet high,
and are about 100 feet wide. The
Sikorsky can carry almost as many
passengers as an airship. Twenty
men can be accommodated in the
large passenger cabin, which is con-
structed of metal and contains numer-
Gus windows. In this machine three
engines are fitted, which give a total
of nearly 1000 horsepower, for, ow-
ing to the Sikorsky biplane weigh
ing in itself one and half
tons, and having SO large a crew to
carry, it demands high power to pull
it off the ground and keep it in the
air.
The weight of the machine has ne
cessitated an elaborate landing
chassis, composed of numerous
springs and pneumatic tubes, so that
the huge biplane can alight safely on
rough ground at a speed of 60 miles
an hour.

PAGES Educational Bill

However divergent the views of the
real merit of vocational education, all
must give Senator Carroll S. Page of
Vermont credit for spendiG work for the
cause, both in and out of Congress. The
Advance pays tribute to the Senator's
ssrvices in the following:
1t is beyond all question that these
United States in general and Vermont in
particular owe tremendous debt of
gratitude to Carroll s. Page of Hyde
Park, Senator in congress, for the great
fight he has made in congress and out of
it for vocational education. 10 the ma
tional arena he was and is admittedly the
father of the idea, and if there had been
no change of administration he would
have undoubtedly carried it triumphantly
through congress and placed his bill on
the statute books. As it was-seeing the
great credit which would later attach to
whoever had the name of leading the
movement-his bill in its essenli u fea-
lures was picked up and stolen bodily by
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and car
ried to a successful conclusion. This
final result, however, is very largely at
tributable to Senator Pages continuous
and earnest work in it's behalf, and to
him, as the national pioneer in the move
ment, should be given the credit by his
contemporaries and later by the millions
of youth who will rise up and call him
blessed.
The bill now before congress is proba-
bly, the greatest educational measure ever
seriously considered by that body and
that Senator Page is so prominently iden-
titled with it is contemplated with pride
and satisfaction on the part of his fellow
Vermonters. BELOW Falls Times.

Millions Lost

There is leak in the newspapers of
the country through which $4,000 900
in publicity trickled within the last year.
Discussing the free advertising which
newspapers permit each year, promi-
nent publisher recently said:-
"By press agent we mean the repre-
sentative of large corporation who is
paid to keep that corporation or its pro-
duct before the public through the news
papers without paying for the space.
ut is conservative estimate that at
least 10000 worth of valuable space
has been given away unwittiDgly by the
newspapers of the country in the last
year through the Vaccinations of these
men.
Now, newspaper has just two COM
modities Tor sale; one is its circulation
and the other it's advertising space. If
man has anything to offer to the public
he should be compelled to buy advertis-
ing space in which to tell about it, yet
dozens of corporations and merchants
have in mind half dozen of the
wealthiest concerns in the United
States-buy no advertising, but employ
men who are continually putting things
over on the newspapers and keeping
their goods before the public constantly.
'If advertising space is worth any
thing, it is worth all that is asked for it,
and everything that is advertised for sale
should pay for the advertisements
