In the region of the Bramaputra he

IRRIGATION IN CHARLOTTE
Noted Apple Orchard of G. T. Holmes
Now Under Pumped Moisture

Now Under Pumped Moisture
Pumping water from Lake Cham
plain was begun at noon Friday last
on the mammoth orchard Of G. T..
Holmes in Charlotte and was contin-
ued until evening, the cracked and
parched earth merely looking damp.
Mr.. Holmes has $500 trees on 100
acres of land and in banner years has
harvested as many as 1000 barrels Of
apples. The crop this fall may be
1000 barrels. II is believed that the
trees that now look dead or dying
can be revived and made to blossom
in 1916.
As one drives past, the great or
chard at its highest points appears
practically bare of foliage and yet in
the spring leaves had started and with
sufficient rain the trees would have
blossomed and borne fruit beyond
doubt.
Mr.. Holmes consulted government
experts and it was decided that irri-
cation was necessary to save the or
chard. Seven thousand feet Of two
inch iron pipe has been laid, nearly
mile and half of piping, with vents
between the trees. Small bitches are
dug to carry the water around the
roots and drenching the ground is to
be kept up night and day until the
earth is thoroughly saturated. The
cost of installing the irrigation sys-
tenn with its 40horse- power engine
was $4,000.
A man from Williston, familiar with
agricultural conditions all his life, said
recently that in his trips about YER
mont this year he had never seen
fruit trees more backward from lack |
Of moisture 0rchardists in Grand
Isle, however, have been peculiarly |
fortunate thus far and are not alarm
ed over conditions on the islands. The
experiment Of Mr.. Holmes interests
them greatly and its results are await
ed with hearty hopes for its success.
That irrigation should be necessary
IN the Champlain valley will for
line seem passing strange but that
lgriculturists and orchardists may
generally come to it is within the
-ealms of probability.

LOCAL OPTION LEAGUE

GERS and Educational Campaign
Planned
A local option league has been or
ganized in Vermont. Prominent resi-
dents who believe the present law to
be the best temperance measure ever
placed upon the statute books came
together a few weeks ago and decided
that an organization with the purpose
in view of retaining the present law
was wise at this time.
To ascertain the sentiment on this
subject prominent men in all parts of
the state were consulted and the con-
census of opinion was that the present
Local Option Law should be retained
in preference to anything yet proposed
to take its place. With this informa-
ton at hand the League was organized
with the following officers:
President, James M. Tyler, Brattle-
boro; County vice president, Addison,
Carlton w. Sprague, Bristol; Benning-
ton, Frank Z. Howe, Bennington; Cal
edonia, Alexander Dunnett, st. Johns

Clement, Rutland; Washington, j.
Ward Carver, Barre; Windham, Chas.
r. Crosby, Brattleboro; Windsor,
Frank w. Agan, Ludlow; Secretary
and Treasurer, Raymond Traynor,
White River junction.
The League appeals to all Vermont
ers who believe in Local Option to
join and TO aid this movement to the
fullest extent possible. Membership
fee is placed at sl.00,
II is proposed by the League to con-
duct an educational campaign to show
that under Local Option Vermont has
a law that has worked benefcially TO
the State and Town and that the tenn
perance cause had benefited TO a
greater extent than under prohibition. /
Every dollar contributed to the cause
will be used to enlighten the people Of 1
Vermont through the newspapers of
What has been accomplished under
local Option and what may be ex-
,ected with continuance Of the law.

WHO GETS THE BENEFIT?
Ruling Of Court of Customs Appeals
Would Turn Back Millions of Dol
lars TO Foreign Manufacturers.

Washington, ID. c., June S-The
Court of Customs Appeals has just adj
ded another act to the comedy of err
rors in which the Democratic admin
istration takes the star part
The Court has rendered an opinion
on the construction of the provision
in the Underwood tariff law intended
to give a five per cent discount in
customs duties ON merchandise inn
ported in American vessels, and has
virtually declared that the effect Of
the provision gives wholesale dis
elimination in favor Of ships of for
eign countries.
In recent article attention was di-
rected to this classic blunder then
pending before the Customs Court,
The slovenly methods by which it was
enacted were referred to, showing that
the Democrats had vague idea about
aiding American shipping, adopted
vague method Of extending such aid,
and by careless guess work had
thrown the whole matter into the
courts. 1t was shown that during the
debate in Congress Republicans had
given repeated warnings that, apart
from its policy, the phraseology of the
five per cent section was meaningless
and should be corrected to accomplish
its purpose
The decision of the Court of Gus
toms Appeals completely confirms
these statements, and rubs it in by
saying:
"The wisdom or expediency of the
policy Is a matter into which we may
not inquire nor have we the right to
suspend the operation of the statute
because we think its purpose is not
adequately ACCOMPLISHED
II will be recalled that the language
OF the five per cent discount section
provided that nothing herein shall
be so construed as to abrogate or in
any manner impair or affect the pro-
visions of our treaties with foreign
nations"
1t appears from the opinion of the
Customs Court that there are at least
$500 treaty nation vessels in the
American foreign trade, and that
there are not over 80 American YES
sells. As a favor" TO our own ships
the Democratic Congress, according to
this decision, gave an EQUAL BOuN-
TY TO $500 competing foreign YES
sells.
In its decision the Court referred TO
statistics showing that the discount
provision reduces duties five per cent
upon considerably more than one-haf
of all our du,isble imports. After all
its labored adjustment Of tariff rates
the Democrats, in this single para
graph proposing five per cent dis
