CLOSE OF SCHOOL YEAR.
Reception and Outdoor Play Mt Bish.
Op Hopkins Hall.

The school year at Bishop Hopkins hall
came to an end Thursday and invita-
tions had been sent out for the customary
out-of-doors play and garden party. But
shortly before the hour appointed for the
play the clouds opened and the consider
able number of guests gathered in the
school building for a reception, which
took the place of the garden party. Re-
freshments were served and when the
rain ceased about four o'clock, it was de.
cided to give the play as arranged on the
lawn at the south of the school building,
with the woods as background. The
young ladies were particularly ambitious
this year and selected the Antigone of
Sophocles as medium by which to show
their dramatic ability. The eight princi-
pal characters were very creditably por-
trayed by as many young ladies, and an.
other eight in the minor roles Of attend.

guilty In city court Saturday to the charge

costs, being found guilty on the charge Of
,intoxication. and she was committed to
Jail to serve the alternative sentence of
ten days. All three girls were arrested
on adultery charges. but these cases

Pate was refused license to operate
the Montreal House as hotel. when the
matter of granting the license came be-
fore the board of aldermen, who would
not grant the license without the approval
of Chief of Police Russell, who would not
favor the license. Pate went so far as to
have his attorney appear before the board
and obtained two recommendations, but
without avail the board refusing the Ii
cense. One Johnson, also colored, later
applied for license to operate a restau-
rant in the lower part OF the building.

HOSPITAL BADLY NEEDED.
No Place in State for Advanced Cases
of TuberculOsis

The necessity for the immediate con.
struction of a tuberculosis hospital in this
State was the principal subject discussed
at the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Vermont Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, members Of
which met in this city at the Office of Dr.
&c. F. Dalton. secretary of the State board
iof health. Thursday There were present
besides DR.. Dalton, Thomas Magner
president of the association, Miss Emily
Dutton Proctor of Proctor and H. w,
Slocum, director
Al the last session of the Legislature
$4,000 was appropriated to be used to
build hospital for the care of patients
having cases of tuberculosis which are
| too far advanced to allow their admit.
lance to the sanatorium at Pittsford. At
the time the appropriation was being con-
sidered the Mary Fletcher hospital of this
| city offered the site for such a hospital
land it is generally understood that it will
be built here. However, 1t has not yet
been started and there is a crying need
there being several advanced cases in the
State. One man in this city, far along
in the dreaded disease. is visiting from
one relative to another. his sputum being
full of the germs of the disease A girl
| in South Burlington who is very i'll with
the disease is one of eight children in
the family. all of whom are using the
same living room. 1t is hoped that the
man may be sent out of the State. but
the girl would not live TO reach an insti-
tuition in another State The need Of the
hospital is imperative and the committee
hope to see an early start in its con-
struction.
| The committee also discussed the use Of
paper holders for use at the various re.
| freshment stands at county fairs during
the coming summer The director was in.
structed to inquire the prices and to
obtain an estimate Of the numl<r which
would be used during the season. It is

COUNTY CROPS HEAVIER.
200 per Cent. More Beans-Hay Only
short CrOp.


short Crop.
Field crops, including the grains, soy
beans and alfalfa, are from 10 days to
two weeks late this summer in Chitten-
den, says County Agent J. w. Dana. but
that will not hurt them any. At least SO
per cent. more potatoes and maybe so
per cent. more will be raised than usual !;
three or perhaps four times as heavy a
crop Of beans-yellow eyes. pea beans
and kidney beans predominating total
of 2.500.3,000 acres of soy beans and 100
acres more Of alfalfa. Five to 10 per cent.
less hay will be produced. and that is the
crop which can best afford to be
sacrificed, says the agent. because 1t is
the largest and much of the bumper crop
Of 1915 remains over.
The first crop of alfalfa will be ready
to cut in about week. The second
planting will take place in July. In the
county there ought to be a yield Of ton
and one-half per acre, says Mr.. Dana.
The Grimm seed Is showing up better
on the demonstration plots than the COM
mon northern-grown variety and the
summer species better than the spring.
The demand for soy bean seed was
far greater than the supply. which gave
out long ago. An Ohio dealer still has a
certain amount on hand, however.
The rain can only damage the field
crops or vegetables by flooding them out.
and it Is doing the potatoes good. The
precipitation has not been distributed as
in some other years, but the average
downfall of the year has not been over
large. The potatoes are thriving under it
and can stand it for some time yet.
Hay is in as good condition as it was
a year ago; 1t has had as good a start.
Already it has grown to the point where
1t will hold the water.

TO EXPERIMENT WITH BEANS
State University to Start Three
Months Demonstration.
Twenty Acres in Plots in Colchester.
Charlotte. Williston and south
HerO-work in II Counties
of the State.

The State university, through the agri-
cultural extension service. is conducting
experiments in the Ii counties of YER
mont which have county agents and in
four different towns. to see whether bean
seed resistant to anthracnose and other
diseases may not be produced. If. as
thought likely. the soil and climate of
the State are found particularly suitable
for the raising of seed free. or practi-
cally free. of anthracnose Vermont may
become an important shipper of seed to
western New York. Michigan and other
bean-producing centers. A. Fl. Gilbert
of the States relations service depart
ment of plant pathology working under
the joint direction of Director Thomas
Bradlee of the service and M. F.. Barrus
Of the New York State Experiment sta
ton in Ithaca. n. Y. is in charge Of the
experiments and demonstrations, which
will occupy the next three months.
Mr. Gilbert is arranging for demonstra-
ton plots in Colchester. Charlotte, Will
liston and South Hero. He will use 20
acres in all. There will be several plots
in Charlotte. On the University farm
about 90 varieties of beans are to be
planted. A quantity of red kidney beans
have been sent out to all the county
agents, who will distribute them as they
see fit.
THE object of the demonstrations is
to grow seed that will be free from
anthracpose or rust. as 1t is sometimes
called" said Director Bradlee. The serv-
ice also hopes that more efficient methods
of growth may be determined. though
the primary purpose is to see how re-
sistant in this environment various
species of beans. particularly the red
kidney, is to various diseases, particu-
larly anthracnose. II. b. Smith Of Char
lotte and Frank j. Coulborn are among
the farmers who will raise the seed.
Each farmer must use certain prescribed
methods. The United States department
of agriculture buys the beans. The
navy pea bean is another species of bean
which will he under experimentation.
Mr.. Gilbert said the purpose was To
see to what extent the beans would escape
disease. as well resist it,
Two years ago a bacterial disease called
bean blight was pretty pad in Grand Isle
county.
A special experiment is to be conducted
in Dorset Bennington county, where an
acre of red kidney beans will be inocu.
lated. "vaccinated" as it were. to obtain
disease-resistant seed, which would be
the natural result ultimately. Western
grown early wonder seed from California
Idaho. Colorado, etc, will be sown.
