be reduced. one trouble is due to tho
overlooking on the heaviest Of the motor
propelled vehicles These trucks weigh
from four to six tons and when load
with heavy substances the total weight
is increased to the twelve or thirteen ton
mark. This weight is too great to travel
over the macadam roads, consequently
many miles of highways throughout the
state have been destroyed.
Municipal authorities and county Off
Gals all through the State are COM
planning about the damage done by the
trucks, and it forms one of the most
perplexing problems we have confront
ing u.s."
These are some of the manifold points
the taxpayers and the travelling public
of Vermont must take carefully into con
sideration at once. If we are to avoid the
wasting of hundreds of thousands of
dollars in faulty and temporary road con-
struction and road destruction. The way
to begin to improve our road making to
meet modern conditions is first of all to
begin.

THE CONTEST STILL CLOSERl

The third week of the New YORK
Herald's poll of the presidential situa
ton shows n slight comparative gain for
President Wilson over the previous
weeks results. although Mr.. Hughes is
still in the lead. The total number of
votes polled so far is 1850. of which
B692s are for Wilson, Al, 112 for Hughes and
1866 for Benson, the socialist candi-
date, leaving Hughes a plurality of only
AlS4
The drift from one party to the other
as compared with the vote in 1912 ac
cording to the statement of those polled
as to the way they voted in that year
and intend to vote next November is
striking. OF these 7,13s change from
Roosevelt to Hughes, 1879 from Roose-
Welt to Wilson, 1,22s from Taft to Wilson
B621 from Wilson to Hughes. The total
shift to Hughes is 1879, and to Wilson
l207.
1t is worth noting in this connection
that New York is classed as doubtful
State, although the straw vote shows
Wilson to be slightly in the lead.
Pennsylvania is preparing to give Hughes
tremendous vote. as are many of the
western States. while New England is
Bolidy republican.
1t is always an excellent thing for the
republicans to have a scare" thrown
INTO their camp in October, for it means
a practical month of energetic work.
From now on the character Of the re-
publican campaign is to change from an
exclusively offensive movement against
the democratic trenches to a construc-
tive campaign, with the presentation of
republican policies among which first and
foremost will stand protection for Amer-
ran labor and American industry as we'll
rs American lives and American freedom
Of the seas.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.
The Farmers Of Vermont Now Serious
~ Consider Cooperative Selling.
lF,rom the Orleans C&Nlnty MonitorD

Last week the Monitor quoted some zig
ures copied from government repoI is
which have caused considerable CONNIE
among those interested in Vermont aE,i-
culture. These figures show that the YER
mont farmer receives less for his products
than the farmers OF New Hampshire,
or any other New England State. The
difference is quite marked and in every
case the Vermont farmer gets less than
his neighbors. The Monitor asked the
question as to why this was so. and sug-
gested that it might be a question of
monopoliza ton.
The Monitor quotes an editorial from the
St. Johnshury CALIFORNIAN upon the sun.
ieCt and the Caledonian suggests Co-opera-
tive selling as possible solution to better
prices for our farm products. The Mont
tor believes in cooperative selling The
Orleans County Farmers exchange in con-
Junction with the county agricultural as
socia ton has been doing some co-opera-
tive buying. but the Monitor is thorough .
~ convinced that there is as great a field
for cooperative selling.
Some years ago the Monitor suggested
cooperative selling but there was no or
ganzation through which the farmers
could work at that time. Now, however,
Orleans county has one of the strongest
and most aggressive agricultural associa
tons in the State and the farmers have
organized their own exchange and there
is great opportunity for cooperative Sc j.
ing. The Monitor understands that this
thing is being done to certain extent al
ready in the matter Of seed potatoes and
apples. This is good news. Buyers are
not attracted to a territory with but a few
! bushels OF potatoes scattered here and
! there, but II there IS some central station
where information can be obtained as to
/ the quantity of potatoes to he had in A
whole county, he will he interested
One of the things the Monitor would
most like TO see is cooperative selling of
maple sugar. Sugar is a product ,he
demand for which is growing. A party
told the writer not long ago of a call from
, one place for 10000 gallons of maple syrup
and the price offered for graded goods in
bulk, packages furnished, was very go I'd
price. Let us see "A concerted effort at CO.
operative maple sugar selling.
The Monitor believes the Vermont farm
ers must cooperate in order to get fair
lprices for some Of their commodities and
the faster it comes the quicker We shall
see prices of Vermont hay, beef hogs sol
gar, etc, equal those received in other
States
The trouble with prices now may not III
altogether because Vermont markets arc
too nearly monopoized and the answer
may not be altogether in cooperative sell
ing. but the Monitor thoroughly believes
that here is a suggestion that will beau
the closest study and gradual adoption.

THE KIND OF FARMING THAT PAYS
BEST.

We are accustomed to say that when
line to sell. There is more or less truth
TO this assertion, for when the av-
erage farmer has good crop
In any particular line tho supply
Is sufficient to keep prices down.
1t follows that the farmer who is more
than an average thinker and planner is
the one as a rule who gets particular
advantage of high prices,
This general statement is we'll illus
trated by particular case. as told by
the Brooklyn Eagle as follows:
Big stories are being told in eastern
Long Island almost daily about the won
derful amount of money some of the
farmers are receiving for their produce
this year. and some of the best of those
speasant stories are found at the whole
sale markets in Riverhead. Glancrs at
the potato market this morning, il APP
pears that one man delivered over s1,Col
worth of potatoes a day for several days
This man is Chauncey II. Young OF
Riverhead. who has large and fine farm
about five miles from the village. lie is
young man, but is considered one OF
the most progressive farmers in town
that is full of such men.
This year he purchased an automobile
truck purposey to bring potatoes t.
market. For two or three days he has
delivered 1000 bushels a day, and as tn,
price is 81. 30 a bushel, or better--it fluctu'
ates almost daily, but mostly fluctuate'
upward--it is easily figured what his
daily cash receipts have been.
Mr.. Young has nearly 100 acres in po
tatoes. He expects to market at leas
5000 bushels, And as sort of side lin,
he has n mighty fine crop Of cauliflower
which is likewise bringing good money

this section. nor any that can be pickle,

equally true that farming on this scale

equally true that farming on this scale
affalr-it Is the result of close attention
to soil, fertility, seed and many other
things. all managed on a real business
basis"
Not every farmer is in a position to
market $1,000 worth of potatoes day.
Some are selling 500 worth Of potatoes
from their farms this year while others
are realizing from 500 UP. The great
majority of farmers have very few po-
tatoes to sell this year. Those Who like
the young farmer on Long Island. go
at it thoroughly understanding every part
of the operation Of producing and SELL
ing potatoes are reapng a harvest this
year.
What applies 70 potatoes also applies
to other crops, as well as to breeding of
fancy priced cattle or other livestock.
1t takes as much work to produce a
poor article as n good one, and the prof
it is in the products in which more than
ordinary study and intelligence have
been used
Special farming is more profitable than
any other for this reason. The next
most profitable farmer is the man who
plans to have several specalties. with
high grade products. His dairy will be
a little better than his neighbours; he will
have a good bin of potatoes to sell when
his neighbor barely has enough for his
own use. He will have one or two fine
colts to sell every year. His waste grain
and seed will he fed to poultry for the
market. to supplement the sum realized
from the sale of eggs laid by his hens
when most poultry houses are barren
from neglect, and so on.
That is why some farmers have crops
to sell when high and why their neigh
bors do not.
