DEMONSTRATIONS OF
PLANTING OF SEED
Rev. J. Fredrik Virgin, Rev. D. E. Trout
and Rev. A. v. Woodwork Speakers
R. H. Messenger, c. Warner Hop
kins, Diedrich Stolte Demonstrators.

The three flag raisings yesterday aft
ernOon ON the municipal garden plots
attracted many adults, while the chill
dren from the grades of the different
schools marched TO the plots nearest
their respective schools and partici-
pated in the exercises. At each of the
plots at the same hour the children
sang America. raised large American
flag, gave the flag salute, sang the Star
Spangled Banner and listened to 4
brief talk. A demonstration of plant
ing was then given by an expert.
At the Putney road plot the flag was
raised by Archie Adams. Rev. j. Fred
| rik Virgin, rector Of st. Michael's
| Episcopal church, said that the present
time is fine opportunity for the boys
and girls to get together and respond
to their country 5 call by not only help
| ing to feed themselves but to aid in
feeding their allies. 1t is a chance for
each one to show what he or she is
made of. It means hard work and
there can be no cutters engaged in it.
When the sun is hot and the witch grass
lGlory and say: = am doing my bit
for my country.
r. H. Messenger then gave a demon
stration of the proper way to plant the
different seeds and was watched close
Ily by the children.
Rev. Delmar Z. Trout, pastor of the
Universalist church, was the speaker
at the South Main street plot and the
planting demonstration was by G. War
, Iner Hopkins. Ernest Wells raised the
+ flag and Ralph Shaw gave the flag
, salute which was later given by all
the children.
Mr.. Trout said that in planting n
garden plot each child is helping the
country by relieving the demand for
garden truck. Now that the task has
been undertaken he urged all TO stick to
it, for the quitter is despised every
where. Insofar as the boys and girls
are loyal to their garden plots they are
loyal to the flag and to their country.
> At Centerville the flag was raised by
Raymond Hadlock, Lynn Thayer and
Clarence Taylor. Rev. A. Y. Wood
worth, pastor of the West Brattleboro
Congregational church, was the speak
er. He said that he felt that he ought
;, to appear in overalls and collarlesS with
= a hoe, for overalls are as much q badge
Z of honor as the uniform of the
: soldier and the hoe is as important as
> the rifle. The boys and girls who are
!, !, cultivating garden plots have enlisted
= in the war, for the raising of food is
! Just as important as fighting battles
= They are working for their country and
le their allies. Thoroughness, diligence
and perserveranee are essential. The
- planting demonstration was by Died
