The Vermont Farmers Are
Urged to Greatly Increase
Their Acreage This Year
EARLY SOWING is
VERY IMPORTANT
There Should Be No Decrease in the

mont Farm War Council Organized to
Help Farmers.

MONTPELIER, April 3.-An ample
supply of wheat is a necessity in war.
The government forecast of the win
ter wheat crop promises little pros
pect of relief from the present wheat
shortage, unless the acreage of spring
wheat is greatly increased. Vermont
should grow her share of this neces-
sary spring wheat acreage.
Spring wheat will do we'll in almost
any part of the state on land where a
crop of corn can be grown. Seed
should be sown in a well prepared seed
bed at the rate of one and one half to
two bushels per acre. Early sowing
is important.
| On poor land, light application of
manure is desirable, but excessive ap.
plications should be avoided. An APP
plication of 400 pounds of acid phos
phate per acre, sown broadcast, will
make the crop larger and more GER

our dairy industry should be main

H. TOPPING MISSING.
Vcrmonter May Have Been in Odessa
When City Was Captured.

ST. JOHNSBURY, April Mrs.
Edna Goss Topping. former St.
Johnsbury GIRL who is a Red Cross
nurse in France, has been recalled to
Paris to take care of hospital where

ChautauQua This Week.

Chautaupua will open in Charles
Town, Wednesday, September 4, and
will continue one week. The tent viii
be located on the Goetz lot. We have
space to refer especially to four of the
program features.
There's DR.. Carolyn E. Geisel. It's
enough to say she is returned at al
most universal request. 1t should be
unnecessary to say more.
Then there's "The Fortune Hunter
a great popular comedy play by the
College players. They played Twelfth
Night" on Chautauqua year before
last and "The Man From Home" last
year If we told you "The Fortune
Hunter" will be better than either OF
these we fear you would doubt oul
word. We only ask you to see fol
yourself.
Then, too, theirs "Pinafore.'. Yes
another opera. You remember the
"Mikado" and the Chimes of Nor.
mandy" "Pinafore" is the equal Of
either of them. 1t is one of the most
familiar and popular operas.
Finally, there's Captain Leslie Wick
ers, of the Royal Scotch Fusiliers
Captain Vickers was in the war at the
beginning and is now kept out because
at the great battle of Loos he was
wounded, and now carries the bullet
so dangerously near the brain that the
best specialists dare not operate. The
soldier boys and military men in com
mand know Captain Vickers best be-
cause of his book Training in The
Trenches" 1t may be found as a
reference book in all of the camp
libaries.

Here's a Way to Save Doctor Bills
Parents May Profit.

It's a matter of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can
be got into shape to best receive the
benefits of the summer season. Es-
pecially is this true of the children.
They have become run down by a win
| ter of unnatural manner of living be-
causeof ill-considered food and much
time spent indoors. Spring comes
with its sunshine, its fresh vegetables
and all else invigorating, but the chill
natures remedies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Manyother parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con-
sultation. All good family physicians
say: Give the children Castoria."
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old, for they took it themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a place
for itself in the household. 1t bore the
signature of Charles H. Fletcher then,
as it does today. The signature is it's
guarantee, which is accepted in thous-
ands of homes where there are chill
dren.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. DR. William J. McCrann, of
Omaha, Neb., is the father of one of
these much-read-about families. Here
is what he says.
GAS the father of thirteen children
| certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my
own family experience | have, in my
my years of practice, found Castoria a
popular and efficient remedy in almost
every home"
Charles H. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria in their own families, but
they prescribe it for their patients.
First of all it is vegetable prepara-
ton which assimilates the food and
regulates the stomach and bowels.
After eating comes sleeping, and Cas-
tOlia looks out for that too. 1t allays
Ifeverishness and prevents loss of sleep
and this absolutely without the use Of
opium, morphine or other baneful mar
cote. Medical journals are reluctant
to discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
Journal of Health, however says:
Our duty is to expose danger and re-
cord the means of advancing health.
The day for poisoning innocent chill
dren through greed or ignorance ought
to end. To our knowledge Castoria
is a remedy which produces composure
and health by regulating the system,
not by Supplying it, and our readers
are entitled to the information"
