Editor of The Reformer:

Editor of The Reformer:-
Due largely to the frequent and
abundant rains during the summer and
autumn of 1915 and spring of 1916, the
hay crop in Windham county and as far
as observed throughout New England
IS the best for several years In most
cases the crop is giving an increase of
% to % per cent above any one of the
last two or three years. Farmers are
laboring under considerable disadvan-
tage in getting it harvested, as there
have been very few good hay days and
much of the hay will be off in quality
on account of being damaged by rains
and becoming over ripe, but barns will
be well filled when all is harvested and
on the whole with fair quality hay.
Nearly all the old hay was picked I'D
during the spring and much was i'm
ported at high prices, and it seems an
opportune time for bumper crop.
Where the crop was harvested early
there is promise of good second cut
ting.
Pastures have given an abundant
growth and stock is looking well.

In strength of fascination the mil
liners window displays have always
held first place, but now they have no
advantage over the displays of new
footwear. Throngs of shoppers seem
more eagerly interested these days In
the dainty and really wonderful shoes
that they study earnestly and with
much enthusiasm, than in any other
item of apparel. 1t is fact that In
stead of buying her shoes to match her
gown many a careful dresser now buys
her gown to match her shoes, and
she was never quite SO exquisitely
clad as to her feet as she is today.
There are shoes for morning wear,
afternoon shoes, sports shoes, and eve
ming shoes. There are high-very
high-models, and plenty of low shoes
for summer wear. Perhaps the most
novel Of all the new footwear is to be
found in the displays of sports shoes,
where comfort and class are SO eff
fectively combined.
This specializing in shoes means
that women will spend more on foot

ination as to style than ever before
