RESTING LAND" OUT
OF FASHION

1t is encouraging to see chat the
old idea of resting land" is going out
of fashion. It takes just as much
fertility to grow useless plants
weeds-as useful ones-crops. The
good that was supposed t. come from
resting land came really from in
creased humus resulting from turn
ing under the crops Of weeds and
grass; and this is not the best way
to get humus. TIE best way is by
growing legumes, which not only
make more growth and furnish more
humus than weeds do, but also gather
nitrogen from the air, and also save
you from being pestered with Sll me
crco Of weed and grass seed one
must plow under on "reste1" land.

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending Dec. 80.

The N. Il. M. p. A. held meetings all
over New England Saturday Dec. 80, fol
the purpose of starting an organization
of the dairymen to help improve dairy
conditions in New England Owing to
the topography of this county, no county
meeting was held, but farmers were asked
to meet in the meetingplace most con-
venient for them, Woodsville, n H.,
White River Junction or Montpelier.
The county agent went to White River
Junction. About 25 were present, six
from Thetford being all from Orange
county. The complete plan has been
printed in one of our widely circulated
farm papers, but if there are any in the
county who are interested and do not
know these plans, the county agent
would be glad to send them this informa-
ton. Each county is supposed to choose
a committee to arrange for local organi-
zation. One member of this committee
was appointed at White River Junction,
Fred Howard of North Thetford. This
organization will be success when sup
ported by the dairymen of New England.
Those who are waiting to see whether it
will succeed or not before interesting
themselves in it are reducing its chances
for success.
Orange county is to have two agricul-
tural extension schools this year These
are five-day schools held by the state
extension service in cooperation with
the county association and the farmers
Of the town. The first of these schools
will be in Orange the week of Jan. sl2,
1917. The first meeting viii be Monday
afternoon and then meetings viii be held
twice day until Friday afternoon.
There will be one or two evening meet
ngs. This town is fortunate also in
having the home economies school for
women, which follows the same sched-
lie If you live within reaching distance
If Orange, it will be well worth your
While to attend one or all of the sessions.
The other school will be held little
alter in Corinth.
Meetings which the county agent ex-
,ects to visit this week are the Will
JAMESTOWN Farmers club on south hill, |
Thursday Jan A. and Washington, Jan. 5.
The following week he viii be in Orange |
or the extension school.
As the county agent has been taking |
ew days vacation this past week, there
ill be no weekly summary.

CITY GREATLY DAMAGED.
Kobe, Japan, Was Hard Hit By Earth
quake of November rs.

Kobe, Japan, Jan. damage caused
%, which was briefly reported by cable,
was considerably greater than was first
indicated.
The city of Kobe, one of the most
beautiful places in Japan, stretching
along the waterfront at the foot of
picturesque mountains, found, after the
subsistence of the shock, that a majority
Of its residences on the hillslopes had
suffered great damage In this section
are some of the finest houses, both Jap.
anese and foreign, and many of them
were so shaken that roofs fell in and
walls tumbled into the streets.
1t was the most severe shock expert
enced in Central Japan in twenty
years. In Kioto, the big railroad sta
tion lost most of its windows and the
walls sagged in several places, The dis
turbanee was accompanied by roar,
like the booming of great cannon, with
heated, oppressive atmosphere, which
caused an even greater panic than the
damage justified. No one was killed
and no buildings were entirely demol-
ished but cracked walls and dislodged
chimneys were general throughout Cen
trail Japan.
A party of tourists who were spend
ing the Afternoon on the famous Rok-
kosan mountain just behind the city OF
Kobe are responsible for the story that
they saw one of the neighboring hill
sides move during one of the earth tre
mors.
Some of the Janpanese earthquake ex
perts believe the disturbance was due
to the subsistence of subterranean fs-
sures below the sea bottom off the city

the same principle that the furnace

usual for one Of its size must burn
more freely and well than Is com
mon" Scott was Of the same opinion.
In letter to Canning respecting an
article promised to the Quarterly Re.
view he advises him to break the neck
of it after hearty meal, preferably
of boiled chicken" And he practiced
what he preached, for, like Tennyson,
