CHAMPLAIN VALLEY CROPS
Comparison of This Years Production
with That of Inst Year.

Fruits and berries are very plentiful
this year, while Last year they were
very scarce. The grass crop is nearly
double the first crop of last year, but
the quality of the hay Is far below
that of last year There is large per
cont of foul weed in this years crops,
the earliest being damaged by rain.
The bulk is late cut and owing to the
high cost of help, much is likely to 20
uncut, and there is not likely to be
half the second crop of grass that was
harvested last year. Early potatoes
are yielding well, some reporting as
many as 80 in one hill. Late potatoes
are suffering from neglect. Barley
looks well. while oats are very uneven

crop. Corn Is a small acreage and

corn enough to fill their silos.

L. S. PROTECTS SEALS.
Herd Numbering 100000 Nost Valuable
In World

The most valuable herd OF animals
that any government of the world pos
sesses - that Of the fur seals which
roam over tho eastern side Of the north
Pacific Ocean and return for breeding
purposes to tho Frihilof Island, says
DR.. Hugh VI. Smith in the National
Geographic magazine. After being
sadly decimated ny indsCrimnate
slaughter AZ sca. the herd has been rap
idly recupcratinG under the influence
Of an international agreement and
soon the fur seals may he as numerous
as when they came into he possession
Of the United states government with
the purchase Of Alaska
The fact that tho only land 70 which
these animals ever resort is two jslets
in Boring Sea belonging t. the United
States, gives our government claim
to possession such as is exercised over
no other wild creatures of water, land
or air.
In tho summer Of 1915 more than
100000 young seals will have boon ad-
ded To the Alaskan seal herd, whose
total strength Will then b" upward OF
400. 000 individuals Of all classes. For
some years only a limited number Of
seals have been utilized for the food
purposes Of the natives. hus after the
present close time law expires, in 1917
there will be available for commercial
use many young male seals, which ado
nothing to the reproductive capacity
of the herd and may properly be utiliz.
ed for their skin and other products.

submarines had slipped into tho Baltic
and were sinking one German vessel aft-
or another The German naval officer re-
turned to his ship after the Danes had
refused him a pilot and the submarine
disappeared shortly afterward
Two days later, another German sub
marine appeared, this time under the
British flag. and an officer I'm British uni
form came ashore. When he asked for n
pilot his wish was granted immcdia'elv.
Together with the pilot, the officer went
to the submarine. The pilot showed the
officer on the coming tower how the boat
could be safely brought into German wa
tiers.
This was the signal for two Germ n
sailors to appear on deck and to arrest
the pilot who was taken to the German
port of KEEL The proofs of the breach
of neutrality were forwarded TO the Dan
sh government, together with an ultima
tum calling for the payment within q
hours for all damage done by British sub
marines In the Baltic. The German Bal

Unmoved by their cease,css unrest
Oh, loud may the north winds howl and
And the waters like mad steeds rush,
He scorns their rage, and serene and
He dwolls in an inner hush.
When the gray wave mourns and the

And softly Grieves the wind.
What dreams and visions come to him
And yearninEs vague and blind.
He dreams of the necklaced suns that
leapt
Aname from the nights fond durcss
When his smooth young limbs the sea
gulls swept
And he thrilled to their soft caress,

When the stars, new born, their jewels

Gray, grim. and grand, he looms and

And furrowed his brow serene.
