 Food Starce, Prices High.
 Switzerland indeed, today is changed beyoNd recognition. Prices are high and food is scarce. Rationing runs it's difficult course, us elsewhere in our dislocated world Trains are reduced, and railway, as also amusa- ment tickets heavily taxed.
 It Is good to know that many of our own men and officers have come home now from Chateau dOex. with it's at- tendant villages of Rougemont and Rossinieres, from Murren in the Ober- land and other places. The majority of these have not seen England for three years at least. Their evacuation will make room for others to come in from Germany, and no one can be more grateful for this than those whose places in Switzerland will thTN be filed
 There is another aspect of life in Switzerland that is less accessible to the public, as well as less free for the journalist to write about. Though the resorts are somewhat deserted, and the villages handed over to interned soldiers chiefly, the towns are crowd ed, and some of them are Incoming. Geneva, Berne, Zurich and Ilansanp.s are packed with strange humanity, and rooms not easily to he had. Lu- cerne is thriving; Lugano very busy. Every nationality is represented, every shade of color. Germans are ubioui- tous, of course, making themselves at home even in French Switzerland.

POTATO EXPERTS
INSPECT FIELDS
DR.. Lutman and Mr. Bailey Make Elk
animation for Disease and Pass
One Field in West Wardsboro.

Two experts in potato culture, DR..
l.. w. Lutman of the University of Yer
mont and Harold l.. Bailey of Bradford,
were here this afternoon and yesterday,
having come to Windham county to in
spect fields of seed potatoes for Com
missioner f. S. Brigham of the Vermont
department of agriculture. Commits
sioner Brigham Will have fields inspect
ed for any who have strictly pure va
rieties and wish to raise them for seed.
An earlier inspection had been made for
any mixture in varieties. The inspec-
tion yesterday was to discover any dis
eases that might be present. The only
field passed was that of Clarence Street
er of West Wardsboro, who has a fair
sized field of Irish Cobblers
The potato inspection is made without
cost to the farmer, and if the field is
certified as being free from mixtures
and disease it would help in locating a
market at a better price than that paid
for the common table potatoes. In some
places farmers are cooperating and rails
ing potatoes to ship in carload lots. In
order to have his field pass the inspee
| tion one must start with certified seed
and then spray very thoroughly so as tC
keep the crop free from blight.
| The potato yield in Windham county
and for that matter in other places, i:
light and the prospects are continually
Ipoorer. The trouble seems to be lacl
of potash in the soil. Many fields yiel,
but two or three potatoes in hill.
