been unearthed among them. He i'm

last three months and he didn't think
they cared for much more. He called
on the double quartette. which was pre-
sent. to sing "Old Black Joe" instead.
Both officers were vociferously ap-
plauded.
The school will close for the pre-
sent members soon. and all will be

MANY BEANS LOST
Heavy Damage Caused by Last Weeks
Frost ThrouSbout state

State Commissioner of Agriculture
e. S. Brigham of st. Adams was in this

New England regional commission. From
the Hub Commissioner Brigham journeys
to Washington to attend a meeting of the

damage in this Stare, the commissioner
said the reports he had received showed
that the damage on the east s.de Of the
State and in many other sec. cnt was
severe. The ChamplAin valley, he said,
did not suffer excessive damage, although
the loss and damage to beans will be
very heavy. One instance IN this respect
/ was cited. that of farmer in Frank
lin county who lost % acres Of beans.
These lost acres are to be repla ted at
once, however.
The damage in the southern part of the
State also was heavy. The loss will be
hard to estimate as much will depend
| upon the recovery of the crops which
are not completely killed. The damage
| can safely be estimated at hundreds OF
| thousands Of dollars, unless recovery is
better than is at present anticipated
| Commissioner Brigham has himself 81
acres of beans planted, 80 acres Of which
already are up. But a few rows of these
beans suffered slightly from the frost
| For these beans he receives $500 bushe
under contract. The beans are used fol
| seed.
Altogether, Mr.. Brigham has 129 acres
| under cultivation. Every acre was
plowed by tractor. Behind the trac.
tor was drawn a spring tooth harrow ant
q smoother, thereby making the lane
ready for immediate seeding.
Mr.. Brigham stated that eight years age

occurred on the 10th day of June, 1910.
