MORE PARALYSIS CASES.
Young DuXbury Man Stricken
Two Suspected in st. Johns
bury.

A suspected case of infantile pa
ralysis has developed in the family
of Jesse Young of North Duxbury,
the patient being their son, William,
II years old. The young man has
been ill about a week but any
symptoms Of paralysis have only
lately developed, the trouble being
with his knees. He has been en-
ployed in the Elliott box shop.
Infantile paralysis has made its ap-
pearance in St. Johns5ury. Elmer
Gravlin, four-year-old son of Fred
Gravlin, living in the Belknap block
on Railroad street, first showed
symptoms Of the disease Tuesday,
but when a paralysis of the lower
limbs developed Wednesday Doctor
Walsh, who attended the case, mott
fed the local health authorities. At
the same time a sister, six years old,
has shown signs of the same disease,
but there has been no paralysis of
the limbs and the case is taking a
mild form. Both cases have been
isolated.
The children affected are thought
to have been exposed about ten days
ago while visiting with their parents
in Elmore, at the home of Mr.. Grav-
Inns brother. At that time there
was no case in Gilmore, but since
then a case has developed IN the
home Of a neighbor next door to the
Gravlin home. Although no direct
contact has been accounted for, it is
thought that the children may have
| played together, and the disease was
transmitted in that way.

IN OTHER STATES.

Vermont's heavy crop comes at a
very opportune time. as the field
agent indicates. The crop in the
middle and western States, he says,
is light, and the crop Of the country
as whole is considerably below that
of 1915. The respective figures for
the two years are: 1915, 76,670, 900
barrels; 1916, 67,679,000 barrels.
The chief factor against the decrease
of the supply and probable increase
of demand is that the export trade
will be practically cut off because of
the lack of bottoms to carry the
fruit.
In Vermont, however, as the re-
port of Field Agent Sanders along
with that of A. W. Sweeton, county
agent of Windham, says there is a
good deal of prosperity, and the
New England market, generally will
also be excellent.

HOlsteins a Good Investment
Holstein cattle, the splendid
Black Whites" for which such
an increased demand has developed,
are the most easily raised of any of
the dairy breeds. They are harder,
less liable to disease, and need less
of the care required by the ordinary
breeds. In addition, they hold all
worlds records for the production
of milk.
A certain Holstein COW, under Of
fetal test, recently produced 20
pounds of butterfat from 631 pounds
of milk, in seven days. In Holstein
history this was by no means phe-
nominal-purebred Holsteins are
surprising and awakening farmers
everywhere. The man who invests
in few purebred registered Holstein
cows and a purebred registered Hol-
stein sire is taking the first step to
put his farm on a self-supporting
basis.
A breeders consignment sale at
auction of 125 head of these cattle
will be held Oct. 20 and Fl, at Brat
tleboro, VT, by The Purebred Live
Stock Sales Co.

VERMONT'S Big APPLE CROP
Federal Field Agent Puts 1t at
80 of Full CrOp-United States
Crop 100000 Barrels UNI
der 1915'S.

The yield of apples in Vermont for
1916 will amount to a greater per-
centage of a full crop than that of
any other New England state or
New York. The crop will also prob
ably represent a bigger increase over
last years crop than any of the other
States. The estimates now put forth
are on the authority of V. A. Sand
ers, field agent of the U. S. bureau
Of crop estimates, and are the latest
obtainable. The figures have come
into possession of the agricultural
extension department at the State
university through A. w. Sweeton,
county agricultural agent of Wind
ham county, who sent them in along
with his own report on county con-
! ditions to Jay Coryell, assistant
county agent leader.
A kfull crop, says Mr.. Coryell,
means more than an average crop.
1t doesn't mean a bumper crop ex-
actly, that is a crop greater than
ever before or in any one of many
years. Old-time apple growers can
judge quite precisely what it does
mean by looking at the percentage
which is 80 this year as against
around Is last. The yield has beer
variously estimated at from 10 to Il
per cent more than normal.
Here are the figures Of the other
neighboring States during the two
years:
