Road Building

ut is time for Burlington to seek
out source of good gravel for our
roads. Some OF the crushed stone
roads made last year are already in
beastly poor condition, and it is al
most impossible to repair the holes
in macadam. Gravel roads in Chit
tenden county are holding their own
to a gratifying degree Huntington
Free Press.
The contemporary voices what The
Rutland News has urged times with
out number. The average stone
roads built in Vermont are an absol-
ute waste Of money. No matter how
well constructed nor how seemingly
enduring they are, after a season or
two they are pounded TO pieces and
are worse than they were before any
thing was done toward improving
them. They don't stand the auto
mobile traffic. 1t is passing strange
that the state highway department
continues to put in this class of roads
anywhere Where sand or muck are
to be contended with a good stone
foundation, properly drained, would
seem to be necessary, but the surface
covering of gravel is infinitely more
satisfactory, as well as cheaper, than
crushed stone and it can be kept
smooth at the minimum of expense.
Rutland is wasting less money on
stone roads now than It formerly
did, but it ought not to spend dol
lar On macadam.-Rutland News.

improving Potatoes

The newest development in Yer
mont agriculture is reported from
Windsor County. In that ancient
political division, acting on the prin-
ciple that potatoes may be improved
in yielding power and freedom from
disease by seed selection, six farmers
cooperated with the county agent in
carrying out the mber unit method
of potato Improvement From 20 to
100 potatoes Of the desired size. shape
and quality were selected from th(
stock of seed. Each potato was cut
into four parts OF MS equal size as pos
sible The four pieces from each po.
tato were planted oonsecutively so
that each set OF four hills represent
cd the progeny from a single potato.
At digging time each group OF four
hills was kept separate, weighed and
noted for uniformity, quality, etc.
The ten best groups were kept for
planting this year. thus the unit this
year becamet he product from four
hills instead of single potato
by this means, il is expected, q
strain OF high yielding potatoes free
from disease will be obtained. The
probable outcome will be, that seed
will be secured from the farmers do
ing the selecting and the yield per
acre of the whole community will be
raised.
This work Is nok being done In
II Unconstitutional way in the towns
of Springfield. Ludlow. Woodstock
and Stockhridgc. Various other
farmers In the county are starting
this work through suggestion OF the
county agont.-llurlington News.

The harmony Of the Republican
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-08-05

The senatorial campaign has about
six weeks more to run, but so far has
utterly failed TO arouse the voters of
Vermont to any considerable interest
on the part of the rank and file Of the
voters. In southern Vermont, at least,
not one voter in ten is even interested
so far as one can Judge from discus
sion in public and private. Years ago
there was strong Republican organi-
zation in Vermont but this broke
down after the death OF Senator Proc
tor and his son Governor Proctor In
fact it had been pretty much wrecked
in the Mccullough campaign Of 1902.
During the past few years there have
been individual groups Of party lead
ers, but absolutely no inside organiza-
ton or machine. Since the present
campaign started an effort has been
made to pick up the scattered frag-
ments of the old Republican machine
and put it in operation again. The
promoters of this made over outfit are
not excessively friendly TO Senator
Page, but are trying out their new
machine in behalf of the senator, just
to see if It will work. An over the
state 1t can be observed that the big
and little henchmen who always stand
pat and stay put are lifting for Page.
A few men of Independent mind who
want to see something real done are
for Fletcher. Another group OF gentle
men, who personally admire Governor
Gates for his many fine qualities, are
for the governor. These three groups
all told do not include more than a
fraction OF the Republican voters in
this section at least. Fully seventy
five percent OF the voters are not
even interested so far. The real bat
tie is yet to be fought.

Saturday August 5, 1916.

There have been over six thousand
cases of infantile paralysis in great
,er New York since the present out
break started, and more than one
thousand deaths. From the city the
disease has been carried TO hundreds
of other points. Probably more than
a quarter OF a million people, mostly
children, have fed from the city to
escape the dangers. Let no one
think that the outbreak is nearly
over Rather it has just started. 1t
is the part of wisdom not to be scared
but to be mindful Of the danger and to
see that the quarantine is strictly
enforced.
