THERE'S MONEY IN VERMONT
FARMING,
Rutland News

Nullhhu HbNhi
A farmer in Vermont last year cleared
up $4,000 on a small farm from
just two crops in which he specialized,
string beans and potatoes, A good
many other similar cases could probably
be given, All Of which indicates profit
| in Vermont farming done on business
principles,
This Is a time Of year when the
hearts Of many men in city and town
! life turn back to the farm, The idea
of buying some little place out in
the country and earning a living
from the soil Is cherished in many
minds If one has an independent
income he can perhaps conform to
the definition Of gentleman farmer
as a man who can stand the expense,
If one has no very large savings, the
question whether man can turn his
back on the city and without farm eX-
pedence support family from the soil,
becomes vital one,
If a man has a lot Of gumption
and a practical sense of management
| it may not be so difficult, But for
the average man from an Office, more
familiar with ledgers and billbooks
than with soil and fertilizers, IL is not
an easy proposition. Of course he
gets no end Of help from bulletins,
experiment stations, college extension
services, etc. But these helps cant
cover everything.
In the course Of raising every
crop, there come eXigencies not
covered by any literature within his
reach. The traditions Of the neigh
borhoodt tell the farmers boy what to
do But minus that experience, and
with his scientific advice many miles
away, the amateur is more or less help
less,
Half Of the men from city life who
try farm work give up because the
physical labor is beyond their strength,
They can't afford to hire sufficient
help, and cant plough and pitch hay
themselves. The time when their
muscles could have been developed has
passed.
Still it is foolish to say the thing
can't be done. The many women who
have made success at farming with
out doing hard labor themselves,
prove the thing is possible. The
Back to the Soil must be content with
small returns for the first few years,
Profits for few seasons may not come
in cash at all, but may simply exist ir
improved land, and the building of a
foundation for the future. Eventually,
the money will be made if the man dis
play good business sense and the same
devotion to work that the successful
merchant, lawyer, or manufacturer
gives.

HIGHER EDUCATION.
Rutland News,

Mayor b. l., Stafford is eyerlastingly
right in urging Rutland school
pupils to continue with their studies,
"to better equip themselves to face the
emergencies which are constantly
confronting us in these uncertain
times" The demand for educated,
trained young men and young women
is greater today than ever before in
all history. Likewise, the one who
would succeed must have more
thorough grounding than ever before,
Therefore, it is encouraging to note
that over half the graduates of the
Rutland High school this month are
planning to take further study in some
higher institution of learning. While a
university education does not neces-
sarily imply success IN life, the de-
cision to further educate is a pretty
safe indication that the youth has am
biton that augurs success.

LETTER FROM P, T. GULLEY,

LETTER FROM T., T, GULLEY.
Santa Barbara, Cal,
June q, 1916,
TO the editor OF the Register;
This the longest day in the year calls
to mind what the conditions are in New
England and trust some Of our good
friends may be pleased TO know what
this particular spot on the "Sunkist'
shore Of California is like at this season
which was our ambition to experience,
thus our presence here.
We saw the last showers the first days
of April and such beautiful flowers as
we have seen since and are expecting to
see from now on until the hedges of
Gala lilies bloom again in November
Roses and hyderangias and geraniums
seem to be among the most gorgeous
outside the ivy geraniums which cover
whole sides and roofs of some buildings
and the pagodas of many
Last evening some friends called at
our home in their auto and asked if we
would like boquet. OF course we
would so they unfastened from the
side of the auto Yucca-stock
some eight feet long with blossoms
over 40 inches in length and thirty-siX
in circumference 1t resembles a
hyacinth both in shape and odor the
blossom is always white. Some posy !
They tell us it is a small specimen from
Franklin Canyon,
Fruits are coming in abundance,
loQuats were the first spring fruits, which
grow on medium sized trees in clusters
of from six 10 a dozen or more of a
golden color fine flavor and eaten like
grapes. Strawberries, raspberries,
black, and logan berries are plentiful. of
finest quality, and cheap compared with
prices East. Apricots are delicious and
several varieties Of plums and cherries,
fresh figs, peaches and pears are as
plentiful as one can wish for Cante-
lopes from the Imperial Valley are
delicious and cheap, three for ten
cents or ten cents each according to the
size. There are several varieties of
fruit to come including grapes, which
we are looking forward to with pleasure.
Lovely fresh vegetables are in abund-
ance and have been all the time since
our being here.
The temperature is so much like that
of last winter we would not notice the
difference only in the absence Of rain.
We have fire some part of the day, es-
pecially at evening.
There are many visitors coming and
going continually. 1t is conceded by
ninety per cent of all hear and speak
with that this is the ideal point they
have visited in their travels. Best of
all they have a fine suburban railway
system and the finest Of men to work
for.
Hoping this will convey something of
an intelligent idea of what our every
day is like | will cut it short for this
time. Very truly yours,

ALFALFA IN VERMONT.
Bennington Banner.

Vermont farmers are paying more
attention to the raising of alfalfa, On
a five acre patch in the town of Shell
burne heavy crop of the clover was
cut on May 90 and with the heavy rain
fall that has prevailed it is probable
that two more big cuttings will be Sc
cured. The crop cut last month stood
80 inches high and was very thick and
even. Alfalfa is a somewhat difficult
crop to start as the ground requires
careful preparation but once well
established the returns are far
greater than those that can be obtained
from any other forage.

VERMONT TROUT.
Rutland News.

A Vermont trout, 26 inches long,
weighing six and three-quarters
pounds, was the cynosure Of all eyes
in a North Adams, Mass, newspaper
office this week. 1t is certainly a
splendid advertisement of the fish
ing resources of this State. While
Massachusetts nimrods may not all
expect to get trout of this size in Yer
mont waters, they may be assured of
most excellent sport and good
catches. incidentally, it is to be
hoped that the North Adams man
who took this leviathan near Man
chester was properly licensed by
the Vermont Fish and Game depart
ment.

MAKING UP FOR A POOR START.
Barre Times.

Barre Times.
The Vermont State industrial school
takes on new dignity and becomes
greater power in the life of the common
wealth when it endeavors to put the boys
and girls, entrusted to its care, through
a systematic course of training such as
was denied them during the time when
they were forming the habits that
brought them to the institution. Much
good ought to result from the systematic
schooling which the boys and girls are
receiving at Vergennes, good that will
become apparent when theyhave
their majority and have been sent out
from the school to battle against the
problems which are bound to come to
them. If they satisfactorily pass the re-
uuirements of the course in the industrial
school they will not be seriously handi
capped mentally in the competition with
their fellows who have been more fortu-
nate perhaps in their early and formative
years and who have had the benefits Of
schooling under less restraint than the
members of the industrial school. The
requirement of the rudiments of an edu-
cation, too, ought to inspire the boys and
girls in the Vergennes institution to bet
ter things in life, to cause them to be
dissatisfied with the conditions which
brought about their entrance into the
industrial school and to endeavor to
shape their courses so that they will be-
come valued members of society. That
they already appreciate the efforts
which are being made in their behalf is
indicated by the statement that out of
286 inmates of the school only 46 are
refractory to the extent that they have
to be kept under lock and key. The
States industrial school is in position

we'll known in political circles, died at
his home in st. Johnsbury Sunday fore

Peoples Academy of Morrisville. After
teaching school few terms he went to
st. Johnsbury in 1875 and engaged in

DUMPING MULTIFARIOUS PARA
PHERNALlA.
Rutland News.

1t has been the custom whenever
illegal liquor selling places are
raded for the officers to pour into
the sewers the seized liquor To
this there is no objection, for it is
the proper place to put most of the
booze sold in joints of this kind. 1t
has been the custom of the New
York police department once a year
to take out to sea and dump all of
the multifarious paraphernalla Of
thugs and thieves and murderers that
have been seized and dump them.
To this custom there can be no OBJ
lection, as far as the destruction
pertains to jimmies and black jacks
and brass knuckles and things Of the
sort that are useful only to the
criminal classes, although it might
be a good deal saner to strip the
metal and pour it into metal pot
and save it for some proper purpose.
But the dumping into the sea of good
guns and knives, fiat irons and pokers,
boot jacks and stove lids, and the like,
simply because these useful articles
have been made the implements of
crime, seems an absolute waste Of
property. The practice is senseless.
Yet this week the New York police
dumped in this way tons of just such
indictments.
