Press Comment

Below is an article from the
Springfield Reporter, which comes
from an authoritative source:
Walter H. Crockett of the state
publicity department has called at
tention to some interesting COMPARE
sons of Vermont's place in agricul-
ture CLEANED from the government
crop report of 1914. asst year no
state in the union raised more BUSH
els of corn per acre than Vermont,
and only one state, Massachusetts,,
raised as many, the Vermont aver
age being AZ bushels. Only one
state, Maine, surpassed Vermont in
bushels of potatoes per acre. Only
one state led Vermont in bushels of
spring wheat per acre. Only one
state surpassed Vermont in bushels
of rye per acre and two western
states report the same average. Four
states lead Vermont in bushels of
oats per acre, and six states in BUSH
els of barley per acre, and all these
are in the irrigated region Of the far
west. The reported value of our
staple crops for 1914 is in excess of
S23, 500, 900. Mr.. Crockett discover
ed that while we led so many states
Of greater area in intensive agricul-
ture, as far as cereals were concern
ed, we almost trailed the procession
in our hay crop, one of the staple
crops of Vermont. A little more
attention to this crop would materi-
ally increase the returns and add
millions of dollars to the income of
farmers of the state"
We predict a great future for
Vermont farms. Thousands of acres
of fertile land is yet lying idle. The
rapid settlement of the West and in
ordinate increase of farm values
there and the great demand for
food stuffs abroad, caused by the
European War, will greatly increase
the usefulness of Vermont farms.
There are other attractions also.
Ours is the leading state in maple
sugar and granite productions, and
we are we'll up in the production of
brains. Statistics will bear us out
in saying that our state has furnish
ed its full share of brainy men in civil
and military life. Our state has also
a healthful and invigorating climate.
1t is a fruitful field for life insurance
companies because the death rate
here is so low.

There are some significant things
about the Miller report on the con-
ditions of the Boston & Maine Rail
road. Mr.. Miller is railroad man
of long experience: He has been
employed by the Pennsylvania and
the Rock Island and other roads in
positions of Importance. He was
one time President of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois Railroad ard is
now receiver for the Buffalo and
Susquehanna and President of the
New Orleans Great Northern Rail
road.
What he says illustrates graphically
the fact that this road has been
grossly mismanaged. Millions of
dollars have probably been wasted in
extravagant expenditures. For IL
lustration:-M Miller refers to the
Hampden Railroad, line built in
Massachusetts, to connect the Cen
trail Massachusetts Division with the
New Haven; a perfectly useless
operation which has created an an
nual charge upon the Boston & Maine
property of $685. 900 besides adj
ditional operating and maintenance
costs. Another monumental blunder
was the building of the line between
South Vernon and Brattleboro, sper-
fectly and absolutely useless and to
satisfy crouch on the part of Mr..
Mellen, a result of whim and preju-
dice which costs the stockholders of
the Boston & Maine Railroad $685.
600 per year.
The railroad should have a right
and privilege to earn money, to re-
ceive fair rates for the hauling Of
freight and passengers, but the
State, to protect the stockholders,
should have every disbursement
supervised by competent business
men, for it is perfectly manifest,
from the history of the Boston &
Maine Railroad, that some of the
men who have directed its destinies
have not had the ability of an ordin-
airy fifteen year old boy or else they
have been dishonest or mad.

To the People of Essex County

This introduces you to Henry G.
Whittier, who has assumed the sole
management of the Essex County
Herald and the job printing plant
connected herewith. I am trying
to help him build up live, forceful,
and effective paper for our home
county; and l hope the HERALD will
receive some measure of support
from all those who are interested in
the destinies of our people, from all
those who have been assisted, and
from all those who have been hon
ored by it's instrumentality.
A live, inspiring local newspaper
is most essential to our progress. and
we cannot expect to hold our place
among the counties Of our State
without maintaining such news.
paper. 1t has been in existence for
forty-two years and has done it,
work faithfully and well. Let us
put our shoulders to the wheel anc
help it on.
From an acquaintance of twenty
five years with Mr.. Whittier, know
he is capable and first-class in news
paper work and an artistic jol
printer. If he can have encourage
ment, | know he will do his worl
promptly and we'll.

Those who say that the cost of
living has not increased within the
past twenty years are respectfully
referred to the Worlds Almanac,
which presents the following signifi-
cant statistics. The prices are on
August 18th, 1918, compared with
the prices for a ten year period,
1890 to 1899. 1t is found that the
price of wheat flour has increased
27.9Go, fresh milk $3.50, creamery
butter 41.9% corn meal 500 strictly
fresh eggs 66.496, pure lard $3.50,
hens 1920, Irish potatoes 1926,
sirloin steak 1880, smoked ham
92.3 Ground steak 1851 % pork chops
124.5%, bacon 1880. Since that
time, excepting the spasmodic fuctu-
alton up and down, the price of food
stuffs has gradually increased. 1t,
therefore, cannot be said that labor
ing men can work for the same
prices as were in vogue twenty-five
years ago. To attempt to do so
would be to starve.
1t is, then, not altogether the cost
of high living but the high cost of
living which is one of the most inn
portant problems of to-day.

has existed for two years does not
seem to abate. The best index of

STEEL" The dividend for this stock
has been passed and the stock has
gone down to forty-three. We used
to have financial depressions once in
about twenty years, but we are now
getting to have them noarly all the
time.
What is the cause for it? More
men and women are now out of en-
ploymen thar ever within the
memory of the present generation.
All the cities have soup houses. In
Boston, there are thousands of able
bodied men and women who are
lacking for decent clothes and food
because they cannot get money to
buy it and cannot find work. There
is something radically wrong in a
great country like this with unlimit-
ed resources, when such industrial
conditions exist.
