attack. Burdened as he was, Fisher was
helpless and the shark snapped off his

inlet, also was attacked soon after GO

that time it has been clear Of mort
gage or claim. In the opinion Of The
Banner it was the right thing TO re.
move those Christmas trees if the Job
has been thoroughly done and the
other brush removed at the same
time. One of the serious problems
that confront the hin farmers in New
England is to get their pastures back
into as good condition as they were
fifty years ago. Most Of them arc so
rough and rocky that they cannot be
plowed and brakes brush and forest
growth push steadily forward. The
Vermont department OF agriculture
the county agents and the university
service have not yet
brought forward a real remedy. That
there IS a remedy no genuine Vermont
Yankee for a moment doubts
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-12-11

One does not have to so outside the
confines OF Windham county to find
examples of the Christmas tree evil.
The thirteen carloads that were ship
ped last week from Wilhamsyille stat
ion probably did not yield the owners
of the pastures from which they
we're cut a total of more than 5000 at
the most. and yet if they had been left
to grow into timber they would have
added thousands OF dollars to the
value of the land on which they stood.
--Brattleboro Reformer
The editor OF The Banner is familiar
with enc OF the farms from which
these Christmas trees were taken and
we believe it was wise thing to have
them cut and that it would have been
wise had the owner OF the farm got
ten nothing for the trees. Too many
Vermont farms, and particularly in
Windham county, are decreasing in
productiveness and value because OF
the encroachment Of the woodland
over the pastures. When every farm
had its flock of sheep the sheep kept
back the weeds and brush, but horned
stock will not do this As a result
hundreds OF pastures in Vermont have
been rapidly losing in stock support
