HETTY GREEN'S WILL PRoBATED
Estimated that Estate Amounts to
500. 600, OOO-No Contest.

The will of Mrs. Hetty Green was
admitted to probate here Saturday and
the full text of it, as given out by the
court, reveals the fact that previously
published summaries of the document
contained all of its important points
and provisions.
Mrs. Green bequeathcd nothing to
charities or public institutions The
only sums provided for any one out
side the family are $1,000 to Mrs
Herbert p. Bancroft of Bellows Falls,
$4,000 to Amory a. Lawrence of Bos
York, and $4,000 to Mrs Green S SON
in-law, Matthew Astor Wilks.
There is no inventory of the estate,
and the will gives no clew to the ex-
tent or value of it. In fact, the will
specifically sets forth that the trustees,
| Col. Edward II. X. Green and Mrs,
| Wilks, the son and daughter of Mrs.
Green, shall not be required to file an
inventory or aPpraisement of the es-
tate.
The will was probated without con
test. Col. Green filed a bond for 800
600 as trustee for the fund left to his
sister Edward l.. Walker and Charles
f. Capron of Bellows Falls were ap
pointed commissioners of the estate
and Mr.. Walker will also act as agent
of service.
Col. Green s attorney, Charles w
| Pierson of New York. said he expected
action by the state of New York to
obtain, if possible. an inheritance tan
ON the estate, although Mrs. Greer
claimed legal residence here. The
state of Vermont collects no inhcri
tance tax on estate willed from par
ents to children.
1t was estimated in legal circles
here tonight that Mrs. Green left ap
proximatcy $l00000,000.
| Col. Green is now sole executor o.
the estate, since it was announced
that his sister, Mrs. Matthew Asto
Wilks, had declined formally to ac
as executrix with him as directed b,
the will.
Charles w. Pierson of New York
representing Mrs. Green's son, Col
Edward II. r. Green, agreed upon
tentative administration fee of $4,000
to be paid to the state, and it is cor
sidcred that this fee is an indicatio
of the total value of the estate on tn
basis of fee percentages MS usually fl
urcd.

COOPERATIVE CATTLE SALES.
Good Prices in Home Markets Encour
age Raising Pure Bred Stock.

Annual cooperative cattle sales, or
gained by the South Carolina state
| college of agriculture and the United
States department of agriculture, have
been successful in increasing the mum.
Der of South Carolina farmers who
feed out cattle during the winter
These sales, the first of which was
held two years ago, have furnished
proof, it is said, that if they can be
assured of a market when they have
finished their cattle. farmers will feed
cattle on cottonsecd meal and bulls,
silage, ana other southern feeds.
As a preliminary to the cooperative
sale, the farmers in community are
asked to state what number of cattle
each will feed. The date for the sale
is then set so that each farmer knows
when he begins to feed his cattle the
time at which they must be ready for
market. The feeding is done with this
date in mind. The day of the sale is
announced through letters. newspapers,
etc, and every effort is made to at
tract as large a number of buyers as
possible. AS a matter of fact, the day
is usually gala occasion and farmers
come in from a wide radius.
The sale itself is conducted in much
the same manner in which cattle arc
sold in the large markets. This year
cattle were sold in two places, a total
of 265 being disposed of. These aver
| aged in weight close to 500 pounds and
sold for an average of $500 pei
hundred pounds. The top price was 6
cents Il pound, which was brought by
a bunch of seven head of steers avcrag
ing almost 400 pounds each. The fact
that steers raised in South Carolina
could sell for 1925 a head in homo
market made distinct impression or
the farmers present. The other prices
and weights also averaged higher than
last year. This is regarded as conclu
sive evidence that if a market can b,
provided farmers readily will improv,
their methods of cattle feeding anC
breeding.
An instructive object lesson in thu
value of these improved methods is af
forded by the contrast between the diff
ferent types of cattle sold at thest
sales. One man may be compelled t,
dispose of bunch of native scrubs TO
8 cents a pound, while his neighbo
who purchased purc-bred beef bul
three years ago sells load of half
breed calves from his 5000 bull for 81
| cents. In Such case IT usually hap
pens that a farmer who has brough
the scrubs to market adds his nam
before the day is over to the list o
men who have agreed to buy pure-bre,
beef bulls on a cooperative plan.
At the present time the majority o
cattle sold at these sales are fed b,
farmers who know comparatively littl
about cattle feeding. For this reason
the specialists employed by the depart
mcnt and the state college of agricul
ture make Il practice of visiting tn
men engaged in the work and advising
them about their various problems
They not only aid in planning tn
work, but in making up rations, chang
ing feeds, finishing, etc. AS result o
this activity, it is stated that the de
mand of pure-bred cattle in Soutl
Carolina is now greater than ever be
fore in the history of the state.

THE SPIRIT OF VERMONT
Address of Judge Wendell p. Stafford Delivered at the
Annual Dinner of the Greater Vermont Association in
Montpelier July IL

of in the trying days at hand. For
what Vermont needs-is not that also
what the nation needsl And this above
all, a rcawakcning of our old ideals of
courage, sclf-dcnial and heroic forti-
tude! Lowell was right:
"That is best blood that has most iron
in it,
And if America is to be saved out of
the thickening pcrils that surround her,
it will be because, in spite of all APP
pearanccs, she does still carry in her
bosom the spirit of Vermont.
The spirit of Vermont is the spirit
of the mountains, hardy, bold and free.
Another state might be painted as a
Juno,
"All in robe of richest grain
Flowing with majestic train,
and wearing round her jewelled throat
the treasures of an empire. Another
You might paint as Ceres, gazing with
contcntcd eyes upon the bundled gold
of her interminable harvest. One | can
think of would appear as Vulcan,
welding his thunderous hammers
among the lightnings from his flaring
FORCES. And still another might be
shown as 1Iermes, with winged heels
ready to run the crrands of the world.
But Vermont-you must paint her as
an oread-her footsteps on the crags,
her green scarf swapping in the north
wind, and all the stars of winter in
her eyes! That, and much more than
that, must have been in Allen s mind
when he exclaimed, "The gods of the
valley are not the gods of the hillsl -

evening by the junior Christian En-

affair. About $40 was cleared, part of
