CURRENT COMMENT
Better Than Fairs.

On Monday night of this week the
writer listened to a plain, country farm.
! er, as he told of pilgrimage by auto made
by himself and few other farmers, as
they visited other farms in his own and
adjoining towns. and there saw dem
constructions" of the manner in which sue
cess was secured in growing alfalfa, fruit
corn and other farm products. In this
way the farmers saw not only the per-
fected product but also the manner in
which it was grown, and the differences
which had made the crop so much larger
than the average crop. There was the
farmer right at hand to answer any
question, and there was a visible demon
stration Of the crop in the field in the
act of ripening This was hundred
times better and more emphatic than a
sight of the products in floral hall of
some fair. If the farmers of Springfield
would go in a body through their own
town, and to the towns adjacent there
to, and visit the most successful crops in
the act of growing in their own fields,
and talk with the men who have made
them what they are, it would be vastly
beneficial A student in public speakin

bilious farmer should want to see crops
grow and hear the growers say how they
made them grow, if they want to excel
in crop raising. Let us have more home
demonstrations of the possibilities of
Vermont farming. There are plenty of

Reporter circulates to inspire the farmers

the lines of the entente allies crept even
nearer to the territory OF the former
conquering nations. Barring territory in
eastern Hungary the lands of the central
powers are still unoccupied by the enemy
of those nations and the central powers
are still exacting their toll from their
foes. Yet there arises growing elamor
for peace, certain indefnabe searching
for solution of the great war problems
and it mostly comes from the central
powers. II is only three months since
the shoe was on the other foot, 80 to
speak-three months since the entente
allies began to win their smashing vic
tories-and there comes suggestion
that Germany might be willing to have
the United States determine on what
ground Great Britain and her allies
would sign treaty of peace, Can Lloyd
George be blamed for giving warning to
all neutrals that interference at this
time would be treated as an unfriendly
act? Can't Germany stand The gaff? II
she cannot, why does she not come out
and say so, direct to Their enemies? The
United States has stood idly by for two
years and three months and watched the
slaughter. 1t cannot now, in reason, at
tempt to interfere on the ground of hui
manity, unless more compelling force
than a mere rumor of one side desiring
peace is brought to bear.

Your Government at Work.

Having undertaking to teach the
American farmer how to raise fish on
his own premises, and to supply him with
the fry and fingerlings for stocking pur-
poses, the United States fish commission
| is now getting ready to take care of the
| increased distribution which this Is sure
to necessitate, 1t is having built an all
steel ear which is as perfect a vehicle for
the distribution of fish as it is possible
to construct, The car is sixty feet long,
contains its own heating plant, and is
insulated so that sudden changes of tenn
perature will not affect its occupants. In
the center are two long rows of tanks
which will hold 1870 ten gallon cans. These
tanks are also insulated and there is
an elaborate apparatus for supplying OK
ygen and fresh water by means of
pumps. The commission has been sue
cessfully distributing fish for many years
by means of half dozen old wooden cars.
This new one will enable it to carry fish
farther and faster than ever before, as
well as adding greatly to its facilities.
Last year the bureau distributed about
100000 fish of lingering or larger size,
in addition to the fry and ova. Its egg
collecting and Matching work was carried
on in thirty-two states and Alaska, and
it sent fish to every state and territory.
The greater part of this output was
planted in public waters, but most of the
fresh water fish suits BILE for small ponds
were consigned to individuals.
If you want to know how to construct
a fish pond and obtain free fish where
with to stock it, send two-cent stamp

The Concord IN. H. Monitor accounts
for the higher prices accorded New
Hampshire maple sugar and New Hamp-
shire hay, over the prices for Vermont
products of similar nature, to the alleged
superiority of the New Hampshire prod
uct and to New Hampshire's superior
business ability, presumably in market
ing the product. Vermonters may admit
the latter but they never will stand for
the former; they are sometimes careless
in marketing their products, letting the
articles go at too cheap price, value
considered. 1t is one of the efforts of
the county agricultural agents to in
struct the farmers of Vermont in better
methods of handling the goods once the
fine crops are raised. Therein great good
can come to the state of Vermont.

teal talk an different soils and yegyua-

1t is a compliment to Congressman
Porter H. Dale of Island Pond to be sent
into President Wilson's home district te
do campaign speaking Mr.. Dale is a
convincing speaker and it will be inter
esting to note what happens in the pres
ident's own territory. Mr.. Dale is out
spoken about the weaknesses OF the Viii
son administration and says he shall tell
the whole truth in New Jersey-Barton
Monitor
Wouldn't it be good idea, too, to have
Congressman Dale go about his own sec
ond district in Vermont and let the vot-
ers have one look at him before they die ?
Porter H. Dale is one of the most I'M
known men in his own bailiwick to have
the good fortune to be elevated to high
position that has come to notice in re-
cent years. Republican voters in the
second district have voted for Dale, in
primary or election, mechanically be-
cause they saw his name under the Re
publican designation and because they
were averse to voting for a Democrat
Dale has been in Congress two years and
still the voters Of the district, excepting
those of his immediate locality in Essex
county and some scattered instances else
where, are not at all acquainted with
him; nor have his works in Washington
been apparent So it would be a good
idea, we say in all sincerity and kindl-
ness to Mr.. Dale, if he should spend
some of his time in getting in touch with
the people of his own district.
