STATE REFUSES WHITE Pine |
To Sell None This Year and
Plant None.
In Fiscal Year 1015.10 286.OOO Were Set
Out ON state Lands and More Than
5OO,OO0 soId-severaI Good
Substitutes.

The State forestry department this
spring is refusing all requests for white
pine, because Of the blister rust. No
white pine have been shipped out and
none will be. until the authorities are con-
f1dent that the danger Of spreading the
disease Is gone Individuals, firms or
corporations are being offered other spe-
cies as substitutes. or their money back
II they have made any advance payments.
The department was prepared to some
extent for the present condition. and the
amount Of white pine stock at the local
nursery as well as at that In Sharon Is
proportionately smaller than usual. For
two years or more the number OF sew
eral other species of trees has been In
creased, because the white pine was found
not to be 80 we'll adapted tn certain dry
areas in the State for which requests for
trees were made, and the blister rust
threatened.
No trees Of any kind. however, have
been sent out as yet When shipments
DO begin red or Norway pine and Scotch
pine, both of which species are harder
than white pine. better adapted to very
dry soils and not subject to the disease.
will be substituted along with few other
species.
A letter explaining matters has been
sent out to prospective buyers. The dis
| easO was found on wild currant and goose
berry bushes in the woods near the nur-
eery last fall. Owing to the Uncertainty
as 20 what the Legislature would do re-
gxrding the organization Of forestry
work, tho letter could no. be sent at an
earlier date.
| The department has thought 1t best not
, to ship tho trees, because. secondly. the
stock has probably become infected by
wild curTants. although 1t may show no
sign Of 1t for four years or more. and
| therefore the buying Of the trees Is a
poor investment In itself.
The State and federal governments are
| planning to spend a considerable sum Of
money fighting the disease. but no one
knows as yet how serious the rust Is going
to be, and other species will have to be
used for planting.
This need not discourage forest plant
ers. For. in the first place. the planting
Of white pine can be continued in a few
years. as soon as the disease is under
control and it is known what sections are
safe. The safe regions will be those
where currant and gooseberry bushes do
not exist or have been exterminated.
There is no disease to prevent the use
Of the red and Scotch pine, white and
Norway pine. white ash and Eastwood.
There is hardly any site to which some
Of the foregoing are not adapted.
During the fiscal year 1915-16 296, 900 white
pine from State nurseries were planted on
State lands alone. while more than 100000
young trees were sold to private planters
all over Vermont.
The present Congress will probably see
the introduction OF an act providing for
government control Of importations Of all
plants from abroad. in order to forestal
infection from the blister rust and other
diseases.

VERMONT WILL DO HER PART.

Who would be free himself must strike
The liberating blow;
This truth our fathers felt and rose
In might against their foe;
For this their blood besprent the corn
And stained the winter snow.
Not from the head of Jove. full armed.
Did Freedoms person spring.
Nor did the clouds let fall the stone
That shotted David's sling;
ITO Arms" must ever in the ears
OF struggling races ring.
And likewise he, who once ensaved.
His freedom would maintain.
And see his country wear no yoke,
His children wear no chain.
Must have a purpose in his heart.
A vision In his brain;
Must have a helmet for his head.
A halberd for his hand.
And be prepared to give or take
The order OF command:
The warders may not leave the walls
II Freedoms bastions stand.
Each generation Freedoms creed
Must be with harshncss taught,
And freemen warned that all they nave
And are was dearly bought;
And oft must Lexington he reused
And Concord's fight he fought
Do Liberty's inspiring strains
Within our souls resound?
Shall We forsake the seas We sailed
Before the Hun was crowned.
And fcebly plead for peace when peace
May not on earth be found?
No; no: sec ten thousand men
From hill and valley start,
From forest, farm and factory.
From mansionhouse and mart

 Lord Holland sought to commemorate the anlcent battle of Broadstairs by suit able Gothic structures the chief of which now remaining is Kingsgate castle, on the edge of the cliff; but none of them carry the verisimilitude of antiquity and they emphasize the criticism of Walpole, iii one of his interminably gossiping let. ters, when he says they are in no style of architecture that ever appeared be- fore or has since, and in no connection with or to any other
 Near the harbor are the remains of the old flint gateway. called York Gate, which was part of the defences of the ancient town. and where the portcullis grooves are plainly to be seen. Nearby, but much altered by rebuilding stands the mediaeval chapel of St. Mary, which was so much venerated in connection with it's image of Our Lady of Bradstow that passing sailors lowered their sails by way of salutation.
 'rTo the north, between Broadstairs and Margate stands the North Foreland lighthouse, whose structure date from 1883, when the light was no more than a fire burning upon the roof. It was off this spot that Prince Rupert fought de Ruvter. in 16se. when the British fleet was compelled to seek refuge in the Thames and when the Dutch complained that the English could be killed but not beaten. The first regular lighthouse here was erected in 1696 by Sir John Meldrunl, who was empowered to levy a penny 9 ton on all British and tWo-pence on all foreign shipping that passed. In return he paid a20 year to the crown. How numerous the shipping may be Judged from the fact that when the light final ly passed to the elder brethren of Trim ity house-as the British lighthouse serv- ice is so quaintly named-they gave to the Greenwich hospital which then re- ceived the fees from North Forelands light, the not inconsiderable sum of sSoOO in amortization of the right.
 Seven miles at sea from Broadstairs lie the Goodwin Sands, of sinister record Tn maritime annals, ana py tradtlon sup posed once to have been an island, Lonea in the estate of Earl Goodwin, and to have been destroyed by the sea in the eleventh century. Lambarde, a skeptical English chronicler, however, disputes this legend, as he does also another which tells of the Earl's choking himself with a morsel of bread because he had said, hi hraa oI ma I brothers death,' when, in point of fact, he had procured it.
 "A 1ightship has been maintained on Goodwin Sands since 1795, but Marine dis asters still occur there, and sometimes even in clear weather
