WHERE EXPERT ADVICE
FAILS
Exchange

A business man was obliged to
go to the country and try farming.
He drained swamp and started
raising celery. He knew little
about it. but read and studied
what he could find on the subject
One day he was frightened to find
his young plants just ready to
transplant covered with an insect
which looked like some sort of
plant life. He could find nothing
like it in his book, and he tele-
graphed at once to four different
experts who were paid good sal
aries to study insects. One re-
piled that he was working on the
life history of the insect, but had
not finished. Another was on his
vacation and away from all his
records. Another asked for sam
piles o., the insect so he could study
it. The last one frankly said he
did not know, but suggested spray
ing with kerosene emulsion to see
if it would injure the plants. In
despair the owner telegraphed to
a practical grower in Michigan and
received this answer:
Let them alone. They will dis
appear in a couple OF days!'
And they did-without special
injury to the plants. The Scien-
lists happened to be four labora-
tory young men who had never
grown a crop OF celery in bust
ness way. while the grower had
never been inside Of laboratory,

TRAINING CAMP
FOR FARMERS
State Fair To Cooperate With
Government

The Delaware State Fair, which
is to be held September 3rd to 7th,
has rendered its services as a
food training camp" to President
Wilson, to assist the government
in its efforts to increase crop pro-
duction, and reduce the waste of
food in this country, which is
known to be enormous.
THE men you are calling into
SERVICE" said S. H. Wilson, Jr.,
Secretary in part, in letter to the
President, "are being concentrated
in military training camps, be-
cause it has been found that they
can be trained more effectively in
that way than in smaller groups.
1t would seem that there is just as
much necessity to call the great
rank and file of food producers and
consumers into central food train
ing camps for short course in the
more efficient methods of food pro-
duction and conservation. The ap-
propriate time is during the lull
following the harvest season, since
the Nation is working too hard
now to care for the crop already
planted.
1t is believed that the govern
ment will cooperate to the fullest
extent in furnishing lecturers,
demonstrations and exhibits to as
sist the Fair in it's work. The Fair
is making an unusual effort to in
duce breeders of farm animals to
exhibit in larger numbers than
ever before, that farmers in this
territory may be encouraged to
raise none but the best breeds and
types of animals. Manufacturers
of farm machinery are being urged
to exhibit all their latest models
and improvements. The state is
being secured everywhere for sup
erior specimens of the varieties of
grains, forage crops, fruits, veg
etables and corn best suited to our
soil and climate. The women's de-
partment is to hold a series of
demonstrations and lectures by
specialists of reputation to in
struct housewives how TO furnish
the table at the lowest possible
cost. Much attention is to be paid
to children's work, to enlist the
children in the work of food pro-
duction and food conservation.

WANT 20 PER CENT INCREASE
Yard Men and Transfers of Shepard &
Morse Lumber Company
Strike.

Burlington, Sept. 5.Most of the yard
men, including teamsters, and a number
of the men employed in the mill of the
Shepard & Morse Lumber company re-
fused to 60 to work yesterday morning,
following the non compliance of the man
agement with the demands, made last
Friday, for an increase of 20 per cent in
wages with Saturday afternoons off
throughout the year. Yesterday com
mittee appointed by the workmen called
on Superintendent Gale to talk over
compromise, but no agreement was
reached The mill is still in operation,
but with a very badly crippled force and
most of the lumber in the yard is being
handled by bosses and those who are en-
ployed on a straight wage scale through
out the year.
The wage for men at Shepard's now
is SO per day, with number receiving
more than that. The day means a day
of 10 hours with Saturday afternoons off
during the summer During the winter
months it has always been the custom,
with few exceptions, to cut the day to
shorter hours and that means that the
men will not receive what they are get
ting now.

Burlington Street Commissioner consid-
ering Project Of Hauling Refuse
From Quarries TO That

Burlington, Sept, 5.-Representatiyes
of granite concerns in Barre have been
in the city comforting with Superintend-
ent of Streets j. w. Coffey and the street
commissioners in regard to the POSSIBLE
ity of furnishing crushed granite to the
city of Burlington for surfacing streets.
The supply of crushed stone for this
work is running very low because help
cannot be secured TO manufacture IL at
the local lodges, and something must be
done soon to get a sufficient amount for
the city's needs. IL appears that there
are tons upon tons of granite refuse pill
ing up in the Barre granite yards which
the manufacturers are glad enough to get
rid of at no cost TO the man who takes
il away. The stone Is not crushed fine
enough, however, for purposes desired.
The proposition that the street commits.
sioners are considering is to have the
stone crushed at Barre and loaded into
cars and transported TO Burlington. The
cost of crushing and freighting to this
city, il is believed, would be less than
the crushed stone which has been used
for many years has The question is,
according to the superintendent, wheth.
er or not the granite would be as durable
as the other.
