MAKE ARBOR DAY A PLANTING
nAN

Governor Graham has designated May
as Arbor and Bird day The day might
more properly have been named as Plant
a-Plot day, in view of the fact that
crops are imperatively needed However,
the executive has turned the meaning of
the day somewhat into the channels of
presentday utility by urging all Yer
monters to combine profitable recrea-
/ ton and patriotism by planting trees
and food gardens" Especially food gar
dens. Let there be food gardens in every
vacant piece of ground whenever pos
sible. There is no danger of overproduc-
ton Every product we can raise will
find a ready market and at reasonable
prices, too. In this connection we feel
constrained to express surprise at re-
ports coming from some sections of Yer
mont that there is hostility to the cam
paign for increased planting because of
the fear that the greater supply will re-
suit in the decrease of prices or viii pre-
vent further skyroeketing of prices. AL
ready the crop producers are able to get
a fine return on their crops. II is I'M
patriotic to ask more. He who seeks to
make tremendous profits out of the mis-
fortunes of his fellow men is not guided
by true principles of right and he is
working against the interests of the
United States and in favor of Germany.
We regret exceedingly that any person
in Vermont is so unpatriotic as TO wish /
to discourage production because of the
fear that it may cut his unwsrranted
profits. Vermont as whole does not /
countenance such a sentiment, does not /
stand for it and will not permit it to
continue To endeavor to prevent in
creased production borders little short
OF treason in view of the imperative need
as expressed by President Wilson.
II the weather be favorable for early /
crops on May show your patriotism by
planting a plot of ground; and if the
weather be unfavorable for putting the
seed in the ground make a start by pre-
pairing the ground for later insertion of
the seed.
