Vermont has been maligncd and mis-,
represented by many large newspapers
because her recruiting for the regular
army was small as compared with 9TH
or states. When the record is finally
written right it will be found that our
snug little commonwealth is near the
top of the list in the number of men
contributed for war service figuring
on the percentage of population. At
the start we will furnish a full regi-
mcnt Of over 1000 men under the name
Of National Guards. To the navy, to
the ambulance corps already in service
abroad, aud in various other lines, our
quota is large. The reason why we
have not done much for the regular ar
my IL that our boys have gone int,
our national guard unit and into vari
Gus other military and naval branches
in preference to the regular army. Tho
fact that Vermont wlH not be called
upon for more than 800 men under tn,
draft shows that tho little state which
has always been in the front ranks il
war times is still doing her duty.

Russia. To have started on an often
sive an army which was demoralized Q
little while ago was no small task. But
that rejuvenated army, well equipped
now, has taken more than $4,000 pris

the enemy back in retreat and is rap

far flung battlc-line. There was neve

expected to dominate the world.

PREPAREDNESS BY FARMERS.

Last spring many farmers expert
cuccd difficulty in getting seeds, imple-
ments and fertilizers delivered before
planting time. The car shortage is
now worse than ever. The first of May
saw q shortage Of l45,449 cars as com
pared with surplus OF 10000 ears a
year ago at this time. That means d
loss Of approximately 2oo,ooo cars in
ono year.
The only possible way to get fall
seeds and fertilizer delivered to the
farmer is by loading all freight ears to
the maximum. The average ear ship
mcnt of fertilizers has been u tons;
the standard freight car holds 80 tons.
That means that one ear could and
must do the work of two this fall.
Phe only way the dealers and the
manufacturers can assemble orders and
ship them in full carloads is through
having the farmers place their orders
carly. The farmer must also haul
goods away from the car promptly up
on arrival if each car is to do the full
work demanded of it.
All this may cause Inconvenience
here and there but it is not a question
of convenience; it is a question as t.
whether or not it will be possible t
move all fertilizers out to the farm,
before seeding time. Farmers ano
dealers must cooperate in every wa,
possible to help the railroads anC
manufacturers accomplish the task Sc
before them.
Every pound of fertilizer placed OIL
the wheat fields this fall means ma
tcrial addition to next years brea,
supply.
