Wheat Prospects,.

IL is early to be guessing on the 1915
wheat crop, but it is very gratifying that
the early estimates are cheerful rather
than otherwise. Chicago sends eastward
figures based on the reports of hundreds
Of correspondents throughout the wheat
raising states and finds reason for be-
lief that the crop of winter wheat will
be not less than 600,000000 bushels
perhaps $4,000, 000-and that the spring
wheat will bring the total to fully $780,.
900 600 That is based on the acreage
planted and on the expectation justified
by conditions at this time. Last year
the entire wheat crop was COL 900, 600
bushels, barely enough for our own do
nestle needs in peace times, and big
slump from the crop OF the two years
before.
In most of the winter wheat states
conditions are said to have improved in
the past few weeks. There were some
serious disappointment in those states
and when losses were foreseen the APP
peal was made for an increased acreage
of spring wheat. In spite of the labor
shortage that appeal has been answered
and the entire wheat acreage exceeds by
about 30 per cent the wheat acreage
harvested in 1917. Nor is the United
States alone in increasing its wheat
acreage. Canada has increased its acre.
age fully 10 per cent over last year and
England has a wheat acreage 80 per cent
larger than it was few years ago.
Australia is said to be doing no more
but you cannot blame it, for it has not
been able to ship its big crop of last
year.-Bostou Herald.

A Complaint from Mortified.

The Barre Quarters and Manufactur
ers' association has been incorporated
for the purpose of advertising and pro.
noting the Barre granite industry. An
advertising policy was adopted year
or two ago and it was so successful that
il has kept business humming at Barre
while other centers of quarrying have
Jagged far behind the amount of their
business in former years.-Brattlebo
Reformer.
One reading the above might get an
impression that outside of Barre the
granite business was going back The
Barre Quarters and Manufacturers as
ISOLATION includes Mortified, Montpelier,
Williamstown, West Berlin and Water
bury. They are all contributors to the
advertising campaign that has been GO
ing on for sometime. We have before
us their latest brochure entitled Barre
Granite, Barre, VT" As far as we can
find in it only four lines that relates TO
any other part of the Barre district but
Barre. The publication is well gotten up
and illustrated with plants in operation
in Barre. We fail to find any portion
of it given up to any plant in Mortified
or any other town outside of Barre.
Mortified is admittedly the second
granite town in the so-called Barre dis
trict.
This is a we'll established fact. The

handling force of men and getting
the work out of them. In the first place,
