ROD AND GUN

The trout season ends today; the
partridge season opens two weeks
hence.
The fishing season has not been as
good as usual this year, the late spring
having delayed the start and long dry
spell having lowered many of the best
streams, but there have been some good
catches. At Lake Dunmore Mr.. Camp
bell of Rochester, n. Y, who is spend
ing his eighth season at the lake, has,
as usual, made the record bass catch,
having been credited with over 1000
pounds taken from Dunmore this sea-
son.
N. S. Foote, president of the Addison
County Fish and Game League, has
purchased the site of what may later be
the first fish hatchery in Addison
county. He has bought of George TX
Marvin of Preston, Kan, the so-Called
Henderson wood lot, consisting of sixty
five acres situated on the road from
Middlebury to Lake Dunmore, which
includes the famous bubbllng springs.
Mr. Foote has offered to sell the prop
erty to the state at just the price he
paid for it, and Commissioner Leavens
has intimated that field station may
be started there to determine if the
place is suitable for hatchery, Mr.,
Foote has tested the temperature and
found uniform record of AZ degrees
throughout the summer.
Over 100000 lake trout tingerlings
from Bennington have been placed in
Lake Dunmore in the past few weeks.
The stocking of the lake the past sum
mer has been on the largest scale in his
tory and another season should bring
some of the finest fishing known at
Dunmore.

Terms Strictly In Advance

Word that the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture is especially in
terested in the revival of the sheep in
dustry in Vermont is brought by j. A,
Sturtevant, a sheep expert attached to
the State College Of Agriculture Ex-
tension Service, who is now making a
survey Of the status of the sheep in
dustry in Vermont and who has been
spending the past three days in Addison
County. While most of the Addison
County sheep men of former days or
their successors have now become
dairymen, Mr.. Sturtevant is finding
some encouragement from those who
are interested in returning in at least a
small way to the sheep industry. No
argument could be made in favor of the
successful dairyman giving up his cat
tie, for every one Of them ought to be
kept on the farms and breeding continue
with a view to maintaining the county 5
prestige as a dairy region, But there
are many Of these dairymen who from
their own experience or from an in
hented instinct know the ms and outs
of sheep raising and who undoubtedly
could profit by managing flock, along
with their dairy. There is no form of
the live stock industry that requires less
labor, and in the present day of scarcity
of help, the farmer who really under
stands the secrets of sheep raising has
a remarkable opportunity, Mr., Sturte-
want also urges new corners to consider
the chance, and offers his help in the
securing Of the flock and its manage
ment.

While the draft figures for Addison
County have not yet settled themselves
into permanent shape for comparison il
is interesting to note which of the q
towns of the County have furnished the
largest number of accepted men.
Taking only those known to have
been accepted without claims for dis
charge or exemption we find the table
thus far indicates that some towns fur
nished nearly so per cent of accepted
men without claims, out of the total
called from those towns for eXamin-
alton, while other towns furnished less
than per cent acceptable, without
claims out of the total examined from
those towns.
For instance, the town of Addison en-
rolled II acceptable men without
claims) out of "a examined, while Lin
coin by way of sharp contrast furnish
ed one acceptable man without claim
out of % examined. Middebury fur
nished 10 out Of 49,,

The Importance of the potato situa-
ton is indicated clearly by the fact it
was largely the subject Of discussion at
a conference which Gov. Graham called
this week, in which James Hardness,
the new food commissioner, E. 5.
Brigham, the state commissioner of
agriculture and all Of the county
agents participated Notwithstanding
that an acreage per cent greater than
usual was planted to potatoes through
out Vermont, according to the reports
which the county made to the Governor,
the potato crop will not be Is per cent
greater than last year. 1t was indi.
Gated that the blight is causing wide
spread damage to the crop in'Vermont,
New York and some parts of Maine,
The county agent Of Catalonia
County reported some fields where
the crop was almost complete failure.
While there is no prospect Of the Gov
eminent stepping in to guarantee a
minimum price for potatoes, it is be-
heved that the price will not fall below
81. 90 a bushe. That will 10 more than
net the farmers fair profit for the
extra efforts they have made this SEA-
son, and it will be regretable if any I'M
warranted panic leads to the dumping
of the market.

SECURE A LICENSE

Importance Of securing . "license

to do so. This license is az i'm

any other Department Of the Gov.

stop to think that the absence OF
this license from their boats will
be sufficient for patrol boats to tie
them up, which would put item to

applying for same.
No matter how small or large
boats are. If they are propelled by
sail or machinery aud navigate
the waters OF the United States,
they must be registered and
licensed; from skiffs with detacha.

wish to put boat owners to any In

same Immediately.
