AGR|CULT TURAL REPORT
Condition of Wheat and Other
Crops as Shown April First.

The present condition Of Ohio S
wheat crop is poor, correspondents
estimate it at &C per cent compared
with an average. One month ago
condition was reported at II per
cent. April 1st last year condition
was estimated at SO per cent. Gen
orally over the state seeding was
late and the plant had made but
small growth at commencement of
winter. Early sown wheat in fair
condition. The plant appears to
have suffered from insufficient
snow protection and has been
further damaged during past
month by alternate thawing and
freezing. Reports indicate that
many acres will be plowed up and
the fields put to other crops.
The condition of corn in crib is
estimated at 50 per cent compared
with an average. The crop was in
poor condition for cribbing, owing
to continued wet weather. During
winter the unhusked corn suffered
damage to the extent of 20 per
cent.
The backward season has made
it impossible to accurately esti,
mate fruit prospect compared with
normal yield; prospect is esti'
mated at II per cent. Reports oi
damage refer almost wholly tC
peach crop.
The present season is very back
ward. Flowing and spring worl
retarded by the unfavorabl'
weather conditions.
Live stock wintered well.

AN OLD PRoVERB

1t used to be proverbial that every
man (and it is certainly no less true
of woman) is either fool or a ply
stefan at forty. This means that
every intelligent person must learn
SO much about caring for his own
health that by the time he is forty
years of age he can almost be reek-
oned as a physician.
Why, then, is there so much talk by
doctors against " elf-medication x
woman can recognize all ordinary all
ments without calling on a doctor. If
they are ailments distinctive to her sex
she generally knows enough to use
that greatest of all remedies for such
ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
bic Compound, and likewise she is
familiar with the standard remedies
for other diseases.

The case of Cleary, the Have1straw
political boss, like that of Becker, the
New York police lieutenant, furnishes
gratifying proof that the certainty of
being able to avoid punishment for
crime through political pull is not as
complete in this country as some of
the apostles of the pull believe it to
be. Becker thought he was beyond the
reach of the law and paid for his mis-,
apprehension with his life. Cleary shot
his young son-in-law and was acquitted
of murder il a way which was so dis
graceful that the judge rebuked the jul
ry, but political pull could not save
him when he was convicted of forgery.

The time viii come when people in
New England will care as much about
outdoor sports and pastimes in winter
as in summer. The cold winds may be
intentionally penetrating at times,
but the person who dresses to meet
low temperatures when on the ice or in
the woods and fields in Underwater
does not mind the cold The air is
clearer and more exhilarating than in
summer, and there is a charm and fas-
cination about the woods that is not
equalled in the days of leaves AID
flowers. If people would get outdoor
half as much in winter as they do in
summer we would not hear about the
winter months being unhealthy.''

Burlington deserves congratulations
on the opening of a fine new union
railroad built for the use of the Rut-
land and Central Vermont companies
at cost of $500 The new station
in Brattleboro will be ready for occu-
paney in few months and great i'm
provement the coming year is promised
at White River Junction. We do not
know of a recipe for getting new
station that will be absolutely sure to
work, but it is a gobd plan for the
people of a community interested, to
get together and then seek co-opera-
tion with the railroad companies The
companies viii be more inclined to hur-
ry up improvements if they find that
the people who want and who will use
the station are working with them.

Recent dispatches from Switzerland
call attention to a fact that doubtless
has been forgotten by many students
of the war strange conditions in Eu-
rope. They show that the little repub-
lie, tightly hemmed in by big, fighting
neighbors, is carrying on a very big
work in taking care of "'soldier mail. -
This consists largely of letters, pack
ages and money orders that go from
France to Germany for the French pris-
oners, and from Germany to France
for the German prisoners. And there
are many letters that have to be sent
back to their senders bearing the little
black stamp "decede, = which saddels
the home to which it goes. Switzer-
land may not be as big country as
some, but it manages to keep itself
pretty well respected. 1t is doing a
fine work for thousands of mea of
other nations in this soldier mail -
matter, which costs a lot of money to
handle and doesn't bring in a cent.

die. Konieczny is expected to recover.
The building was a long, two-storv
frame structure, the first floor and
basement a machine shop and the Sec

ment.
The explosion demolished the walls
and tore out large pieces of the con
crete foundation, letting the roof down
on the debris, which caught fire. Pieces
of the foundation were thrown hun
dreds of feet. The conclusion smashed
every window glass within the radius
of a block.
Within 800 feet of the Kelker plant

nightfall only two bodies had beer
taken out. Two others could be seen
under piles of broken machinery.

The blues are successful form of
worry with indigo trimmings They are
usually preceded by a feeling of deep
dependency in the pit of the stomach,
and are sometimes followed by the
stealthy footsteps of the sick head

Physicians tell US that the blues are
caused by meditating in low, blood
curdling tone upon some act that fate
is about to perform. a great many
people seem to enjoy the sensation of
being buried in the blues up to their

make life one grand, sweet song for

Not a National Issue.
(Rutland Herald.)

One of the best points brought out
Sunday during the visit to Bellows
Falls of Rev. Clifford H. Smith, super
intendent of the Vermont Anti-Saloon
league, in favor of state prohibition
for Vermont is that a ratification of
the law at the referendum next March
will be step and an important step
toward national prohibition. With
Vermont for prohibition, her congress
men and senators will feel under obi
cations to vote for national prohibition
if they desire to reflect the sentiment
at home. Those who say they favor
national prohibition, but are uncertain
of the ACCESSIBILITY of state prohibition
will do well to bear this in mind when
they vote at the referendum next
Manifestations Falls Times
This may have been the best point
made by Mr.. Smith, but it is not a
good point. 1t does not belong in the
Vermont situation. What the people of
Vermont are to pass upon March 9TH
IS not national prohibition, but state
prohibition.
As the Herald views it, Mr.. Smith
and the friends of the Perry act admit
the weakness of their measure when
they attempt to bolster it up with the
national propaganda.
Why complicate simple issue?
The question is: Shall Vermont con
tinue to regulate Cor prohibit) the iq-
uor traffic through the town unit,
which is the basis of cur system of
state government, or shall the right to
regulate such matters be taken away
and vested in the state?
That really is all there is "to' the
Perry referendum.
