Barrett Says Hughes First

Hon. john Barrett of Washington D..
c., director general of The Pan-Ameri-
can Union, was in Bellows Falls short
time last week. On Tuesday he went to
Grafton to look after some repairs on
the old home and in the afternoon visited
Vermont Academy and addressed the
students. Monday evening he was in
Bridgeport, Conn.,, where he addressed a
meeting of the Bridgeport Board ofTI ade !.
He says that his mother who is so and
lives in Freeport, ILL.,, expects to spend
the summer at the old home in Grafton.
Mr.. Barrett said he had travelled about
all over the United States during tn Q
past three months and he finds that the
sentiment regarding Republican candi-
date for the Presidency which prevails in
Vermont prevails generally. II Justice
Hughes will accept the nomination of
the Chicago convention, IL will be handed
to him. If he will not accept it, Roose-
welt will be the nominee

Vermont and Virginia
from Rural Lifa)

have sold my farm in Kansas at a
| good round figure, and am investigating
Eastern conditions with view of buy
ing farm somewhere in the East.
| have under consideration two states, Yer
! mont and Virginia. l want to buy place
of considerable size capable of developing
into stock and dairy farm. But am
living in prohibition state and want to
go to state where there are no saloons.
How do Virginia and Vermont stand on
this question: W. L. j., Johnson
county, Kna.
There are good productive farming
lands, especially adapted to stock rails
ing and daring, in both of these states,
and they are tor sale at a low price CONS
pared with the selling values of western
farms. Vermont has an abundance OF
green pastures and pure spring water,
but large areas of her once productive
farming lands are now untitled, not even
used for pasture. Virginia, especially the
western part, has excellent bluegrass
grazing lands. You ought to be able to
find plenty of land that would meet your
requirement, from the practical farming
standpoint, in either state. But Virgin
ia has an effective statewide prohibition
law which goes into effect next October,
while Vermont at recent election de-
feated prohibition by decisive vote
Virginia is progressive state, moving
rapidly forward in industry. in agricll-
ture, in rural and city growth, in
wholesome aud vigorous moral and
religious sentiment. We cannot advise
our Kansas friend or any other man
who is looking for saloonless state to
locate in Vermont. But the man who is
not particular in this regard will un-
doubtedly find congenial surroundings
and plenty of cheap land in the Green
Mountain state.

TREE ROOTS NEED ATTENTION
One of Best Methods Is to Dip Bundle
in Pool of Water Upon Arrival
From Nursery.

When planting, all possible pains
should be taken to prevent the roots of
apple trees from being exposed to the
air for even a few minutes. One OF
the best methods is to dip the bundle
in tank or pool of water as soon as
it arrives, open in a shady, sheltered
place and heel in the roots in good,
moist soil while the holes are being
dug and the planting begun. The
holes, which should be large enough to
accommodate the roots without bend
ing or bruising, we prefer to dig as
the trees are set, so that the soil viii
not lose its moisture by being exposed
to the sun and wind. In planting, place
tho tree In the hole little deeper than
1t stood in the nursery. A very con-
venient way of preventing exposure
of the roots while carrying them from
the place where they are heeled in. is to
prepare pail or small box of mud and
place it in wheelbarrow, using 1t to
convey a portion of the trees with
their roots immersed in the mud to
the planting ground, where they may
be taken out one at a time as they
are needed without any exposure what
ever.

BEES AND CLOVER SEED
Cross Polarization THROUGH
Agency of Insect Is Efficient.
Maintenance of Adequate Acreage Of
Glover Has Become a Rather Sc
rious Problem on Account of
Small Supply of Seed.

| Mechanical devices for pollinating
red clover have not been found sue
| cessful by investigators who have
been studying the problem of red clo-
yer seed production. On the other
hand, the investigators found that the
bumblebee is an efficient cross-pollina-
tor, and that under certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful.
For some years there has been an
insufficient supply of homegrown red
clover seed. AS result not only has
the price Of the seed been high, but
large quantities of foreign seed, which
is frequently inferior to the domestic,
have had to be imported. In conse-
quence, the maintenance of an ade-
quate clover acreage has become
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have been made
to ascertain the minimum quantities
OF seed per acre required to secure
satisfactory stand and the, conditions
necessary to maintain such a stand.
In addition, efforts have been made to
develop heavy seeding, hardy strain
Of clover, and finally various mechani.
cal forms Of pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper of the United
States department of agriculture has
recently been published containing re-
suits of experiments which show that
the yield of seed obtained on heads
which were not pollinated or which
were self-pollinated in different ways,
was practically negligible. The actual
amount was less than one-half of one
per cent, and this insignificant guam.
tity, it is said, may be accounted for
by accidental pollination from outside
sources. In contrast with these re-
suits it was found that the humble.
bee was able to pollinate from 80 to
80 flowers a minute in dry weather.
When few nectar-producing plants are
available it was found that the honey
bee also collects large quantities of
pollen from red clover and in the pro-
cess cross-pollinNation of the flowers
takes place.
