A Danish expedition Ia Iceland has
returned with specimens of oil which
on examination has proved to be Of
excellent quality. A thorough explora-
ton Of the oii-bearing regions in Ice
land will be made In the near future.
According to dispatch from Chris

there says the oil deposits In Iceland
are rich and that they are found com
paratively near the surface.

FARMERS CONVINCED.
Pleased With the Results of Topdress-
ing Grass Land with Chemicals.

In 1915, eleven top dressing demon
strations were made by Orleans county
farmers in cooperation with the com-
ty agricultural agent. IN some cases
the fortified plot yielded four tons to
the acre while the mfertilizcd portion
from the same field yielded but two
tons per acre. The extra hay cost the
farmers from $50 to $500 per ton.
Nitrate Of soda, acid phosphate, muri-
ate OF potash and Peruvian guano were
used in the mixture which cost the
farmers $500 per ton. The amount
applied varied from 200 to 800 pounds
per acre.
Many farmers saw the results and
were convinced. Much more topdrcss-
ing than usual was done in Orleans
county this year and a large per cent
Of the chemicals ordered through the
| Orleans County Farmers exchange
were secured for this purpose.
Not all Of the farmers knew Of the
results in 1915 and not all farmers
could be convinced i'll one year so l.;
! topdressing demonstrations are being
conducted this year under supervision
OF the county agent. Mr.. Deuel. cx
poets them to be some of his very best
demonstrations and feels that every
farmer should see at least one. The,
viii be given in the following towns
Albany, Irasburg, Barton, Newport
Craftsbury, Bloomington, Grecnsbor,
and Glover.
On account of the unusual fertilizc
situation this year, mixture differing
little from that of last year wa
used which cost the farmers $3.50 pc
ton The best way to know how niue
good is derived from county agcr
work is to see some of the demonstra
tions and see how many farmers ar
putting the information to a practice

Smith has the whole of New England
as his territory, but he offered to put
in two weeks of his time III Windham
county if all the farmers on the adj

would cooperate in treating the hop

spend considerable money clearing up
their farms while a neighbor would
do nothing and the hoppers would
come right back in again, while if all
cleared up the trouble would be done
away with for several years TO come.

work will have lasting check on this

meetings do us all much good in bring

Are as Bad as Last Year - Summer
Meetings and Trips.
The Monthly News Letter, Just is
sued by \. w. Sweeton, Windham
county agricultural agent, contains
much interesting information. Mr..
Sweeton has the following to say about
alfalfa demonstration plots, grasshop-
per intestations and summer meetings
and trips:
Alfalfa demonstration pIots-For
the last three years we have been
watching the work that was being
done with this crop in Windham coun-
ty. After careful study of the meth
ODDS used we feel confident that alfal-
ta can be grown successfully ON we'll
selected fields, with very little extra
attention that would be necessary to
get a good stand of clover. The soil
must hc well drained and have enough
slope to carry off all surface water I'M
mcdiately. The field must be well
MANFRED and lined to take out the
acid. The seed must be northern
grown aud must be we'll inoculated,
and all evidences mp to date are that
seeding in midsummer after oats and
peas is preferable to spring seeding.
The Grimm alfalfa is said to be the
most hardy VARIETY, but on account OF
its high cost il is almost prohibitive.
On two variety tests that have been
running since August, 1914. two va
rieties OF common alfalfa grown i'm
South Dakota have wintered as well
and have yielded larger than the
Grimm. We had hoped to pick best
variety for Wiudham county and pro
vide means for our farmers getting
that variety, but owing to the scarcity
Of all uorthcrn-growu seed in 1915
about the best that can be done is to
get common Idaho alfalfa. L. r. An
dgews. Putnev, has several hundred
pounds of this seed, which was sent
by mistake and which he will diStri-
butte 10 any parties who are putting
i'm alfalfa this summer.
BY the first Of August we hope to
have fifteen alfalfa demonstration
plots scattered about the county. Most
of these plots will contain about a
| third of an acre and will be divided
| into three parts. One part will have
