VERMONT WHEAT.
(From fha CnripnaoIJ Do...A

The opinion that IL the Vermont farmer
wants wheat, he better raise it Is graz
ually gaining ground. The soil he tillS
is especially we'll adapted to the produc-
tlon or this crop; as is evident from the
fact that the average yield of spring
wheat for the State is 20 bushels to the
! acre; while for the whole United States
the average yield is only 11S bushels In
1911 Vermont was surpassed by only two
States in the amount Of per acre, but
in the total number of bushels it has long
peen completely overshadowed by the
great wheat-growing States of the West
Right in Springfield is some excellent
wheat land and it is recalled by the old
er Inhabitants that the late Otis B. Litch-
held was particularly notable grower
OF the grain at what is now the Ellis
farm on Elm hill. He raised 1t not so
much for the market or family use as
for nourishing diet in rearing the spring
lambs that were prominent feature of
his farm management.
In those days Gowing's mill on Main
street ground and bolted the wheat into
hour sweeter and more nutritious, If
coarser and darker comp!exioned than
the super-bolted product of later i'm
proved milling processes. Cloth for the
DOTS finally became a heavy item of ex-
pense; western wheat grew more and
more plentiful and the big mills turned
out a flour that was cheaper and that the
people liked better than the home grown
variety
But now times have changed again,
and Vermont will see fewer wheatless
days If she ceases to depend upon the
West to furnish her with the flour. which
she is abundantly able to raise for her.
SELF AS far as manual labor goes, it is
said to be easier to produce wheat than
wheat substitutes, which a good many
do not find so palatable when they make
constant appearance upon the table,
although there is every reason for great
~ preferring water johnnycake in the
peace and security of home to the finest
or wheat flour in the vicinity of the
trenches. There is no little profit, too, in
raising a grain which brings from $3.50
to $3.50 per bushel.
william d. Whitcomb. whose farm is
on Highland road, has not been raising
wheat for 25 years but is intending to
plant enough this spring to provide for
the needs of his family and perhaps give
MIN salable surplus His land used to
yield 20 to IS bushels per acre, which is
the top notch for Vermont and way "oyer
Ine TOP Tor the rest of the country.
GRADUALLY taste for patent flour was
acquired and as the yield grew less he
ceased to include wheat in his crops.
THIS year he will try it again and it is
hoped others will follow his example.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
GEORGIA'S RECORD.
(From the st. Adams Messenger +,


No town could have done a mora
splendid thing than Georgia did last night
when. all within 20 minutes. It subscribed
ana over-subscribed its allotment in the
Liberty Loan. With only GO adults in the
hall the $1,000 which had been allotted 10
Georgia was taken and exceeded by $500
There could not have been witnessed a.
inner display of the militant American
spirit. the spirit that Is going to win this
war and win II In a decisive manner. Once
this whole nation is fred with the same
high patriotic zeal which Georgia disp,av.
ed last night. Mr.. Bragg will have realised
his desire to see the Kaiser put into hell
and put there with a rush.
Georgia little realised the good she was
doing last night. It was a good thing
to subscribe the loan, 1t was a good thing
to over-subscribe II. but II was a far
better thing to do It with such fine enthu-
siasm ana to do 1t early in the game, for
Georgia has set an example to the rest
OF the towns Of the State and OF the coun-
try. Georgia's record was flashed on the
telegraph all over the country last night,
