FOREST PLANTING.
Timely Suggestions to Vermonters
from State Forester

BURLINGTON, May 6. - State
| Forester A. F. Halves in sending out
the annual report of his department
accompanies it with the following let
ter to forest and other land owners:
| Are you sure that every part of
| your land is producing as high an in
come as it can2 Haven t YOU some
! land the taxes on which are eating up
the profit, because it ia practically

Forest Planting in Vermont as an
Investment
The Vermont forestry department is
prepared to sell a million three year
white pine transplants this spring at
50 thousand; and also large quaint
| itY of three and four year Norway
f'spruee, 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-
ant taxation.
Forest plantations can be made for
so 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 a plantation may be expected
to yield from per cent to per cent
compound interest on land valued at
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 SO
TO purchase by the time it is grown.
young plantation adds greatly to
the sale value of farm or of a wood
using industry.
If you wish to try forest planting
on small scale, buy a sample pack
age from the Vermont forestry depart
ment. Such a package contains $50
three year transplants of either white
pine or Norway spruce as the pur-
chaser desire. The cost including pos
tage is So.

THE FINANCE OF SURGERY.
How the Mayos Dealt With the Mill IiOnatre and the Poor Woman


 (From the Wall Street Journal)
 With qualification we note what will surprise most medical practitioners, that the famous Mayo brothers of Rochester, Minn, have now reached an income basis of $10O,O0O a month.
 The work of course, is not accom- plished alone by two surgeons, how ever great their skill. They have twelve assistants of the highest medi- cal and surgical ability. But they per init no patient to set price upon the services of their institution.
 E. H. Hartman had not money enough to induce them to leave their hospital and attend him in New York; :; and James J. Hill was not permitted to say as to how much he was to be charged.
 Some years ago Hill arrived at Rochester in his private car and sent for the Mayo brothers and received reply that his case would be attended to at the hospital. He storned as he left his private car and wended his way thither and storned again when he found himself taken in hand by assistants who diagnosed his case and made engagement for his return at a specified hour several days later. When he had been fully attended to,

ARGUMENTS MADE
 ON SOUND LINES
Objection to DiVOrCeInent Of R. R.
 From Water Traffic
Especial to The Herald) .

Washington, Dec. 15.-An interest gng divorce proceeding was argued before the interstate commerce com mission yesterday. It was the propo- sition to divorce the Sound steamboat lines from ownership and control by mission spent the entire day hearing 3 the arguments
 The Providence chamber of com merce was represented by L. A. Wa terman, who received an allotment of forty minutes from the commission tO present the objections of Providence commercial interests to the proposed divorce. MT. Waterman argued that the Panama canal act, which provides for separating steamboats from rail- road control, did not contemplate such a separation as is recommended by representatives of the mission and of the department of justice in this case. He declared that the snip ping interests of Rhode Island were in favor of the Sound lines remain
 
 that they could not get as good ssrv- ice or as satisfactory rates if the combination is separated.
 It is thought by some that this is the attitude of the commission t. self, judging from passages in it's annual report, which have been quot ed in this correspondence, wherein the attention of congress was called to the situation and the suggestion was submitted that the law might be amended so as to give the commission wider discretionary power to permit continued control of water lines by rail lines.
 However. Examiner Hamilton Eld- CT, attorney on the staff of the com- mission; Examiner Boole, who took testimony in this case and H. LaRue Brown and other agents of the de- partment of justice are in favor of a divorce.
 MT. Boole was present during the arguments but did not participate MT. Elder, however, did speak for thirty minutes along the lines of the brief which he recently filed in this case in opposition to continued rail- road control over the Sound lines Mr. Brown, an attorney for the depart sment of justice, which handled the proposal several years ago to dissolve

the New Haven System, occupied much of the afternoons session of the commission in an hour and a >half's presentation of arguments in favor of the dissolution.
 They were the only speakers on that side of the question. Railroad attorneys and shippers representa- tives were agreed in opposing the divorce. The first speaker was B. l. Spock, representing the New Haven, who made an argumen for an hour and five minutes on that side
 John Noble, representing the Plymouth Cordage Company, followed with an eight minute talk along the same lines. w. F. Garcelon of Bos- ton spoke for a quarter of an hour in opposition to the divorce, in be- half of large number of manufac- turing concerns in Rhode Island and other New England states. MT. Wa terman closed the morning session with his argument.
 In the afternoon w. H. Chandler, representing the Boston Chamber of Commerce, opened with ten minute address against the divorce. After Messrs. Brown and Elder had f1n- ished, the case for the petitioner CTS against the divorce and in favor of the application of the railroad for re- lief from the Panama canal act was closed by E. G. Buckland, vice presi- dent of the New Haven and Mr. Spock.
 The commission then took the mat ter under advisement.
 Congressional Activities.
 Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut yesterday talked to the Yale Alumni of Washington about his ex- periences on the Mexican border.
 Representative Hill presented a memorial from the Missionary So- ciety of Danbury Congregational church in favor of prohibition.
 Representative Oakley and Senator Mclean presented petitions from postal employees of New Britain, Hartford and Southington asking in creased pay.
 Governor Marcus Holcomb of Con- necticut is attending the conference

of governors here. A good deal of the discussion at the conference is in relation to the high cost of living.
 Senator Mclean was informed by the department of labor that Miss Rosa Lantieri had been admitted at Ellis Island immigrant station, New York, en route to Middletown. He had taken the case up at the depart ment.
 At his request the department held a hearing today on the appeal of Mrs Dennis Donovan and two small children, who have been detained at Ellis Island for some time. They are destined to Waterbury. Corporation Counsel Francis P. Guilfoile of that city is interested in this case.

and at the end of several weeks was sent home cured. She had sired to know the sum of her inde edness for her board, which
 would attempt some day to, pay.
 The response was just as polite to MT. Hill: Madam, here is " bank book and a check for $500. owe us nothing. By your consent. experimented upon you, It was s cessful and we consider ourselves { medical science indebted to you"
New Britain herald., 1916-12-15

While MT. Hill was fussing over his bill and his inability to dictate the situation, a poor woman visited the hospital with the meager savings of her life represented in the bank book she carried. This she volunteered as all she had. The Mayo brothers gave her every personal attention. explained the dangers of her case, and was she willing to accept the result of the hazard of the surgeons knife? She assented the operation was successful,

 MT. Hill would have discovered that after making reasonable deductions the charge for successful major operation was 10 per cent. of the patients income for one year. In- deed his life was valued according to his own work and the life-saver system called itself entitled to a 1.-the of his income for one year.
