FOR BENNINGTON COUNTY
DEVELOPMENT AND
b{TTERMENT
This Department Edited by Secretary
Willard w. Bartlett Of the County
Improvement Association
Gold Mines On Vermont Farms.


From time immemorial men have
dared anything, counting no effort too
great, even Drawing the unblazed trail
through perpetual SHOWS into the very
heart of the Klondike. for gold
Only a few of the many who strive
attain wealth. Thousands OF lives
have been sacrificed fn this mad rush.
These sturdy, mighty men have
gone thousands of miles away from
Vermont in their quest, yet right
here in the new Vermont are to be
found many opportunities for accum-
ulating splendid golden fortunes,
without any OF the risk TO life and
health, with less strenuous effort
than has been used by the gold seek
er, and in as quick a time as the min
er could have done it. and hest of all.
every one who has the energy and per
severance displayed by the fearless
miner is certain OF splendid results
There need be no failure II one
adapts himself to the new conditions,
studies the new way and becomes
skilled in scientific methods.
Never in the history of Vermonters
was there such opportunities open
and calling to the ambitious. With
her great variety of possibilities. un-
developed resources and her nearness
to Americas greatest markets and
seaports, there is no competitor that
is not seriously handicapped com
pared with Vermont producers.
1t remains only for Vermont to
fully develop the intensive culture,
making her products OF the quality
necessary for export to secure q
worlds market for her products.
This is the age of intensive pro-
duction. 70 Vermont intensive
means success in the fullest meas
ure. 1t means producing two from
the same unit that formerly produced
one; more, it means the acme in
quality as against an inferior product
in the past
1T is the gospel of energy Intensified
by scientific action. Brains Plus.
The intensive method changes
struggle for an existence to life OF
prosperity; gives plenty in place of
want; JOY, success. achievements. in
the place OF defeat, bitterness, failure.
The intensive system is not for the
few, but for the many; il Is not too
difficult of attainment. but easily
within the reach of every thinking,
reasoning man.
It is being applied to every trade
and profession but possibly means
more for large success to the tiller OF
the soil than any ather class
The world reserves its best for
those whose very atmosphere is inten.
sive. Intensive success comes swift
ly to those who realize that help must
ccme from without as well as from
within.
The intensive demands hours of
deep thought, dreaming, studying as
well as energy and action.
To the alert student owning farm
in Vermont we unhesitatingly say,
there surely is a gold mine ON your
farm most valuable. absolutely GER
tain in its output, and right at the
door Of the worlds best markets.
What the world wants is something
a little better than others are giving.

it quick and is ready to pay well for
