DEVELOP LITERARY TALENT
High School Students Will Give First
of Series of Programs, Tues
day Evening, Dec. 4.

An Extemporaneous Speaking con-
test will be held in the Senior High
School on Tuesday evening. Dec. a.
at eight o'clock. An admission lee OF
five cents will be charged. Seven stud
ents are taking part: Genevieve
Beck, Lillian Brooks, Bessie David,
Lulu Lamb, Mabel Kinsella, Oliver
Cass and Denton Reed.
This contest is preliminary to the
one which will be held here on Dec.
IA. In this second one, five schools
throughout the district will take
part, among them, Glenwood, Morris,
Melrose and Sank Centre. The win
ners on the fourth of December W
represent Sank Centre. This conpe
tition is under the auspices of the
Discussion League, created by the di-
rectors of Manchester college and is
open to every accredited high schoo'
in the state. The purpose of the
league is to train speakers not for one
peculiar or particular occasion, but tc
prepare them for effective speaking
all through life. 1t was thought there
was no better way to give added i'm
pulse to this ideal than to have
series of contests in extemporaneous
speaking in which the speaker would
be forced by circumstances to think on
his feet and phrase his thoughts
while facing an audience. In order
not to let the extemporaneous speak
ing degenerate to impromptu speak
ing, it was decided to furnish ~ sub
jects and from this list each speaker
is to draw by lot one topic an hour
before the contest begins.
The subjects are:
l. Japan and the United States.
2. New Russia.
8. The situation in Mexico.
a. Women and the War.
5. Common Extravagances.
6. New Americanism.
The Spirit of Abraham Lincoln.
8. The Improvement in Rural
Schools.
9. Negro in 1867 and 1917.
10. City Manager Plan.
II. Americas First Military in
vasion of Europe.
IL. Compulsory Arbitration of
Labor Disputes.

Miss Fetterly, and the drums, played
by DR.. Robinson. The manner in
which these essentials were executed
caused great deal of favorable
comment. Miss Remington, to whom
the credit of success belongs, is GER
tainly to be Congratulated.
Following is short synopsis of
the operetta, which will give a clear
er idea of the superstition on which
Feast of the Red Corn" is based.
The scene opens with the entrance
of the maidens into the glen where
the feast shall take place. The old
squaw tells the maidens that the
Four Winds have whispered to her
that there will be no wish granted
this year because some one has of
Tended grievously. Impee Light
the younger sister of the Queen is
suspected as being the culprit and
they threaten to burn her at the
stake. She is captured, but excuses
herself on the grounds of having
inherited peculiar temperament.
The children have grown tired and the
Queen lulls them to sleep. The old
squaw weaves a spell which puts them
all to sleep and disappears into the
forest. At day break, Impee Light,
who resisted the spell and only pre-
tended to sleep, rouses the maidens.
The Queen suggests canoe ride be-
fore they celebrate the feast. Saying
that during the canoe trip some sign
may come to show how they may
obtain the good Offices of the Fou,
Winds and all but the old squaw
leave. She sings the "Song of Sorrow
interrupted by the return of the party
hysterical over the drowning of the
three little ones, whom they bring
in and Impee Light. The three little
Indians, who have been playing dead
jump up and laugh at the maidens-
explaining how they upset their canoe
in shallow water, and kept their heads
above water under the canoe, and
Impee Light rushes in to enjoy the
joke. The Queen insists seriously
that Impee Light has really saved the
lives of the little ones and on this &C.
count, the Four Winds must be ap-
peased and surely will harken to the
maidens. The old squaw undertakes
to invoke the winds again and this
time with success. The Feast is cele
brated, the Queen finds the Red Ear
and in answer to the expressed wish
she sees vision of her King, who is
alive and well and on his journey

as his authority for the statement that
the money cost of establishing Amer
lean independence was, In round num-
bers. $140,000,000. According to the
same authority, the war of the Rev
olution cost England just about five

about $7O0.0o0O0O. Thus it viii be

Notes

The name of Guy Magoon of New
port should have appeared IN the list
Of members published in June.
If you are planning to use lime this
fall either take a sample of soil from
the field you plan TO lime or call the
county agent.
Watch for plant lice on your fruit
trees. Several men have reported
injury from them this year. Use
Black Leaf No. 40 diluted 500 times.
One thorough spraying is usually
sufficient.
With the prolongatiOn of the war,

mand. Why not plan TO raise colt
Breed mares to full blood stations of
good type and draft qualities? There
are too many scrub horses in the
country today to risk breeding the
mare to a scrub stallion OF uncertain
breeding.
Don't forget to spray your potatoes
for blight. The formula is 4 pounds
of lime, 4 pounds of copper sulphate,
and so gallons of water. Cover the
plants thoroughly so that no blight
germs can get an opportunity to
start. An application about Sept !
is especially important since late
blight epidemics at this time are usu-
ally followed by destructive potato
rOts.
This is the time of year when
smutted heads are appearing In oat
fields. The county agent is making
a survey of the county this season to
determine what loss is sustained by
the farmers of this county, due to
this disease. Look In your own oat
field for smut; then use the formal
dehyde treatment on your seed oats
next year. Seed oats from dealers
as well as home-raised seed are liable
to this disease.

The Feed Problem.

With practically all common feed
ing stuffs ranging over $50 per ton,
with the prospect of no distillers' or
brewers grains next winter, with a
cotton crop that Is none too good,
farmers are considering show little
can / feed" rather than chow much"
The present high prices should bring
before the average farmer more than
ever the necessity Of good roughages
and homegrown grains Many a
farmer in the alfalfa belt during the
coming winter viii need to feed little
If any, grain to return a good profit
on the butter and milk produced, but
few farmers of Orleans county can
feed their cows nearly all roughage
for ration the entire winter and re-
turn much Of a profit The differ
ence Is in the quality Of the rough
age. To produce milk more cheaply,
to feed less grain, TO keep the cows
on the farm-grow better rough
age and the old standby" for this
county should be CLOVER. We raise
too much timothy and too little le-
gume hay. Protein IS what we buy
IN our commercial food stuffs-the
majority of the carbohydrates and
fats are grown on the farm Then,
If protein can be raised so cheaply IN
roughages, why not plan on a rota-
ton beginning with the blowing this
fall that viii give a much larger
acreage to clover and other legume
crops?
Dairy farmers are saying that
they are not receiving enough for
their milk and butter, but If expen-
sive methods of production are en-
ployed IS an Increase IN price juSti-
fed? If the manufacturer by expen-
sive and inefficient methods makes
shoes which cost US s. per pair when
these same shoes might be made TO
sell for 81, Is not the consumer JUS
titled IN demanding that the manu-
facturer change his methods? Dairy
products are not bringing as high
prices as they should IN view Of pres
ent feed and labor costs but on the
other hand farmers are not produ-
cling these products as cheaply as
possible Where timothy hay and
silage are fed, supplemented by pur-
chased feeds of high protein content,
a high cost for dairy products can
not be avoided, especially IN view of
the extremely high prices of COM
mercial feed stuffs. Clover hay or
mixed hay with large percentage Of
clover, fed with slIage containing soy
beans, means much less grain to be
fed and reduced cost OF production
With these last-named roughages,
the average cow Of this county will
need but little grain 70 make out the
ration More milk would be pro-
duced by q heavy grain ration but
the increase of milk would not pay
for the increase IN cost.

Why Spray?

4. Because it inSureS the potato crop
against loss from an attack OF
blight
2. Because it causes an increased
yield; enough usually TO more
than cover the cost of spray
ing.
8. Because it prevents early blight
and tip burn TO a large extent
4. Because 1t reduced the amount of
injury caused by flea beetles.
,. Because 1t pays TO prevent dis
ease and insect losses after all
the labor and expense incurred
IN planting, fertilizing and eul-
tivating q crop.
Late blight has already caused con-
siderable loss this season in Maine,
New Jersey and some other states.
Small areas In Vermont have also
been attacked. As yet no blight has
been noted in Orleans county but that
does not mean that Orleans county
potatoes are immune from the disease.
Farmers are spraying more than ev-
er this year and the ones that insure
their crop are bound TO be the gain
ers at the end of the season. It is
the duty-as well as the business-of
each farmer to protect his crop from
disease. 1t costs little; it may save
much; it is tremendously worth while
to consider. Four pounds of lime,
four of copper sulphate, and so gal
Ions of water make up q standard
bordeaux mixture. This should be
applied once every ten days or two
weeks during the growing season.
The plants should be well coated
with the mixture and IS to 100 gal
Ions per acre should be applied at
each application.

Use Lime. Grow Legumes, Especial
" Clover. Cheaper Production.

The second suggestion is impossi-
bic to accomplish successfully with
out the first; the last viii follow as q
natural sequence TO the first two.
Many tons of lime have been used IN
this county during the past two
years but only q small proportion OF
the amount really needed. Soil
analyses made OF many fields IN varl-
Gus parts of this county show a lime
requirement of from one to two tons
to the acre with extreme eases run
ming to three tons and over. The
county agent has seen several fields
this year which were stocked down
last wear and Sorrel seems to be the
principal crop. Undoubtedly an acid
condition of the soil can be blamed
for these failures. Some of these
fields show areas of heavy grass and
clover but the majority OF the fields
show only scattered grass, some al
sike, and much sorrel. One farmer IN
Craftsbury applied lime to one-haf
of field and left the other side IN
lined. The result was an increase
of about one-quarter in his hay crop
on the lined portion, which showed
much heavier clover than the unlimed
and only about one-third as much
sOrrel was present on this part. The
hmewas applied last fall but ordinar-
lily results like this cannot be expect
ed IN so short a time.
Ground limestone is largely used
In this county. It is much safer TO
handle as If does not burn the horses
or spoil the temper of the man using
it. 1t is also much safer to use upon
s.se sOI4. A4le quIcnAme, or causII~
lime, has the advantage of using less
tonnage to accomplish the same re-
suits. The amount of calcium which
lime contains is the standard by
which its value is measured agricul-
ouicklime there are TIA pounds of
calcium while in ground limestone
there are less than 40 pounds OF cal
cium. That means If one farmer
draws home a ton $4,000 pounds) of
quicklime to apply to his land, anoth-
er farmer to draw an equal amount
of calcium must haul home at least
5000 pounds of ground limestone
This is an item well worth consider
ing where lime must be hauled five
to ten miles or more, as IS the case IN
many parts of this county. A man
who uses lime should have q lime
sower, especially If using quicklime.
A few men in a community may unite
in purchasing such machine as this,
as it is used only few times in the
year
Quicklime and air-slaked lime
should be applied and thoroughly
narrowed in in the fall after plow-
ing. This prevents any damage be
ing done to q growing crop and also
allows the lime 10 be well worked in
to the soil during the winter and
spring. 1t IS a good practise to APP
ply ground limestone in the fall, as
results take time and the sooner ap-
piled, the sooner viii results to the
crops be noted. Limestone may be
applied at any time Of the year for
that matter with no danger of injur-
ing the crop.
