CHANGE UNDER PRIMARY LAW
All Delegates to the -.ational Convon-
ton to Be Chosen at One Time
State Committee Makes Statement.

To the Republicans Of Vermont
There appears to be so much misun-
Outstanding with reference to the appli-
cation of the new primary law and the
relation between the primaries, eau
cuses and conventions to be held next
month that the state committee deem
advisable a few suggestions which arc
in effect answers to questions that have
been raised.
The primaries to be held on May 16
are unlike the primaries to be held in
September. The presidential primaries
to be held in May are preferential only,
thus giving the voters an opportunity
to express their preference for q can
didate for president, but not doing away
with the customary caucuses and con-
ventions. Caucuses will be held as usu-
al at which delegates will be elected
to attend the state convention, where
delegates to the national convention
will be elected. One change, however,
should be noted, viz, that all of the
delegates from Vermont to the national
convention will be elected at the state
convention, instead of there being four
elected at such convention and two each
at district conventions in the respective
congressional districts, as heretofore.
The primaries to be held on May 1G
will be under the state law and III
charge of election officers the same as
at regular election. The caucuses arc
purely q party affair and held exactly
as in former years.
The state primaries to be held il
September will be direct primaries an1
the voters at those primaries will nomi
nate their candidates for state anC
county officers and town representative
| There will be no caucuses called in Sep
| tcmber, as the state convention for the
| formation of a platform will be thei
made up of the nominees of the party
| for state and county officers and tow
| representatives, throughout the state
Town committees should, therefore, b'
elected at the caucuscs in May.
The value of any nominating or elec
ton machinery depends upon the actua
use made of it by the voters them
selves. The state committee stand
ready to do anything it may, consisten
with an impartial attitude, to assist thu
Republican voters and Republican com
mittccs to further the true intent o
the primary law by securing as full
vote with as fair an expression of pref
crencc for president as possible on Ma.
10. This committee urges that locd
committees use their efforts to get on
the Republican voters both to the pri
maries and to the caueuses which vii
be held on the same day, there t
record their real wishes. The stat
committee expects later to issue pam
phlet briefly summarizing the lay
which will bear on the September nomi
nations and November elections. Mean
while we hope committees will examiu
published copies of the laws and ia
milarize themselves with this provisio1
so far as they can.

FOREST PLANTING.
Timely Suggestions to Vermonter
from State Forester

State Forester A. F. Halves in send
ing out the annual report of his de
partment accompanies it with the fol
lowing letter to forest and other land
owners:
Are you sure that every part of
your land is producing as high an in
come as it can? Haven't you some
land the taxes on which are eating up
the, profit, because it is practically
non productive9 If interested in this
subject write for our new bulletin on
"Forest Planting in Vermont as an
Investment.
The Vermont forestry department is
prepared to sell million three year
white pine transplants this spring at
So a thousand; and also large quaint
ity of three and four year Norway
spruce, adapted for moist land and
higher elevations.
Statistics show that the risk of
forest fire is less in Vermont than in
any other eastern state; also that there
is less risk to forest property in most
sections of the state than to farm
buildings in similar locations.
Vermont tax laws protect the owner
of forest plantations against exorbit-
uhl NdAullOH.
Forest plantations can be made for
$40 or $l2 an acre, and need practical
ly no further care until they begin To
produce wood.
A plantation 40 years old properly
protected will be worth from 5000 to
$500 an acre, according to the soil, To-
cation, etc.
Such plantation may be expected
to yield from 6 per cent to per cent
compound interest on land valued al
from So to $40 an acre.
Manufacturers and others using pine
lumber should realize that it can be
grown for 81 thousand feet, but that
stumpage will probably cost $40 to ST.
to purchase by the time it is grown.
A young plantation adds greatly tC
the sale value of farm or of wool
using industry.
If you wish to try forest planting
on small scale, buy sample pack
age from the Vermont forestry depart
ment. Such n package contains 25(
three year transplants of either white
pine or Norway spruce as the pur
chaser desire. The cost including pos
tage is SO.
