THE FARMERS EXCHANGE.

THE FARMERS EXCHANGE.
The Farmers Exchange which is
organized by the Addison County
Farmers association will begin active
work Monday, February u. At the
present time several wants" and "for
sale" articles have been sent to the
headquarters and it would seem that
the Exchange is going to serve very
definite purpose and supply the very
much felt need
One of the greatest factors in the
success of the Exchange will be the at
titude taken by the farmers. The Ex-
change is to be used exclusively by
members of the Addison County
Farmers association. If it is worth any
thing at all it should be worth one dol
lar to use the Exchange. Anybody wish
ing to become member of the associa-
tion should send one dollar to r. r..
Dickerman, treasurer, Bristol, Yer
mont, or pay the dues to the town com,
mitteeman.

There is strong probability that the
number Of permittees will be greatly in
creased for the grazing season of 1917.
In an effort to obtain the widest posi-.
BILE use of the Forest ranges it has not
seemed advisable to limit the permittees
| to those living within the Forest, it be-
ing felt that those living adjacent to il
were equally entitled TO use the range
with those living within it. Under such
circumstances the proposition advanced
in these petitions that owners of stock
residing within the Forest should be
! considered as favored applicants and
permitted to Craze all the stock they de-
sire to the exclusion of applicants living
outside of it would be contrary to wise
public policy and calculated to restrict
rather than advance the development of
the region adjacent to the Harney For
est
After the receipt of the above again
discussed this subject with the Forest
Office and was advised that as a matter
OF public policy it is not deemed best to
announce that grazing privileges will be
limited to residents of the Forest, yet as
,aatter of administrative practice every
effort is being made to accommodate
| those living within the Forest before
any stock from the outside is taken in.
If at any time you should have any
specific complaint as to the grazing OF
outside cattle within the Forest will be
pleased to hear from you and to file your
complaint either with the Forest Office
here or the Secretary of Agriculture.
In this time of national crisis when
every effort is being made to increase
the food production and conserve the
food supply, perhaps some advice by
Government experts may be of assist.

and other engineering work and is being
organized at the request of our Allies.
The duty of this regiment will be to
get out timber needed by the armies for
railroad building. trench timbers, mine
props, bridge timbers, lumber and cord
wood. The work will be performed be-
hind the battle lines in France
Men between the ages of IS and 40
years who are physically sound will be
accepted especially men who have had
experience as axmen, sawyers, tie cut
ters, skidders, teamsters, blacksmiths,
milwrights, stationary engineers, host.
lers, mill sawyers, saw flers, cooks ma
chinists and automobile or motorcycle
operators are desired. Enlistment will
be for the period of the war.
The regiment will be made up of six
companies Of l64 men each, aside from
battalion and regimental stats, drivers
and commissioned officers. 1t will be
recruited before the 2nd of July and sent
over seas as soon as organized, trained
and equipped. 1t will be assembled at
two training camps, one battalion at the
American University, Washington, ID.
C., and one battalion at 1T. Leaven-
worth, Kansas.
Supervisor g. A. Duthie has been ap.
pointed Listing Officer, and DR.. Long of
Custer, DIR. Stewart of Pringe, and DR..
Hultz of Hill City, have volunteered
their services for making physical ex-
aminations. During the past week APP
plicants have been examined daily and
those found physically fit have been list
ed for service. A few applications are
coming in from the northern Hills, but
the larger part of the applicants reside
in the vicinity of Custer.
Mr. Duthie expects to continue exam
ination of applicants until the 2nd of
July, when the regiment will be recruit
ed and sent to the training camp
This offers an excellent opportunity
for men who are skilled in sawmill or
timber work to do their part in the war
along lines of work for which they are
best fitted. 1t will also afford the men
an excellent opportunity to see the culti-
yated forests of France which have been
under system of scientific management
for over hundred years

GRAZING PERMITS
On Harney National Forest Not to be
Limited to Residents Living With
in the Forest.

The following letter from Congressman
Candy will be of interest to residents
and others who desire permits to Craze
stock on the Harney National Forest
WASHINGTON, d. c., June A. 1917.
DEAR SIR
Some weeks ago there was transmit
ted to my office by Robert McAdam, OF
Custer petition signed by a number OF
residents in the Harney National Forest,
Of which you were one, urging that own
ers of stock residing within the Forest
should be considered as favored appl.
cants in alloting grazing privileges
| personally presented this petition at
the Forest Office and urged the justice
of first considering the claims of Forest
Reserve residents for grazing privileges
The Secretary of Agriculture in letter
to me states
"Hhe Harvey National Forest has re-
ceiVed very close attention at the hands
of Forest officers, both from the District
office at Denver and the Washington
office, in the way of inspection of the
ranges and general conditions existing
on the Forest. 1t is a comparatively
small Forest and the conditions under
which stock are grazed are rather pecu
liar. The Forest officers therefore have
made more than usual efforts to make
its forage resources of the highest posi-
ble value to the settlers both within and
adjoining the Forest. For several years
the ranges within the Forest were stock
ed to less than one half its normal capac-
ity, but there has been steady increase
both in numbers grazed and in the num-
Der of permittees using the Forest,
which is well established by the follow
ing table.

NEW POLICY

Pierre, June 23.-The state land de-
partment has decided upon policy of
one apportionment year Of the income
fund for the common schools of the
state, instead of the former policy of
semi-annual apportionments, This has
been decided upon since the fund will
draw its share of the interest on daily
balances from the state treasury. A cir.
cular letter was sent out to the county
auditors of the different counties asking
their views on one OF two apportion.
ments annually, and ont of "a counties
which have responded 90 were in favor
of the one apportionment to four desir.
ing the old plan to continue. The new
plan cuts down the work for the county
officials, and allows the fund to increase
from the interest on the fund while il
stands as state deposits.
