Broome county, n. ", this year used
5000 tons of limestone, an increase Of
5000 tons over the amount used one
wear ago. This increase has been due
to the emphasis which the farm bureau
and county agent have paced upon the
value of applying limestone to the soil.
Ono farmer applied one ton Of ground
limestone an acre in 1917 at the time
of seeding In 1918 the lined area pro-
duced 1924 pounds Of hay, while the
plot beside it having no lime produced
only 4,Ol7 pounds, 1907 pounds in favor
Of lime Another farmer top-dressed hay
land, that had been moved one year,
with one half ton of mari per acre, On
the lined area he secured 4,200 pounds
Of hay and on the unlimcd area 2,l60
pounds, difference of 2,040 pounds.
still another farmer used one ton Of
lime an acre at the time Of seeding. On
the lined area he produced 1924 pounds
of hay and on the unimcd area 2,904
pounds, difference Of 2,420 pounds in
favor of limestone.

Getting Them Back

The Barre Times touches upon a very
important point in the matter of getting
Vermont soldiers to return after the de-
mobilization, In this regard The Times
says:
'If Vermont is not to lose out in the
readiustment of men and things after
the signing of the treaty 81 peace, then
Vermont must be awake to the rivalry
which is bound to arise among the states.
Some well directed propaganda, directed
perhaps, by the state publicity depart
ment, could be used as an opening effort
toward getting our men back TO Yer
mont. There should be no delay in the
matter
This, Of course, is very sound sense.
Vermont cannot afford to lose any great
proportion of young men who have left
this state for service in the army, yet

the call OF wider opportunity is one that
propaganda Of any kind win find it diff.
cult to overcome.
If Vermont is to keep her young people
within her own border she must Of nc.
cessity become a state of greater oppor
tunities.
The drift away from the farms is no i
tieeable. In the industries of Burlington
to-day may be found people who have
come here from various parts OF The
state, and from Burlington they move on
again 70 some larger and perhaps more
profitable field of labor.
Vermont to-day is field of limited
endeayors and that reacts against any
proposition to retain our young people
And judging by the manner in whiei
so many Of them make good in othgl
fields, they would prove a very desirable
asset in the upbuilding OF the state.

Mrs. John Hays Hammond, and that
gallant soldier, Lieutenant General

for such occasions. And there is
some malicious chuckling as to how
the few absentees must be kicking
themselves" that they were $50 care

But when 4 visitor stays only
day or two, as did Mr.. Hughes, and is
almost ready to depart before his ar
rival becomes generally known, there
really isn't much chance for society
to hear the lion roar.

DEAR SUSAN:

The week just past has had much
Of the calm OF midsummer in Wash

the war. The warm weather has had
much to do with this, OF course, turn
ing ones thoughts toward the noun
tains or the sea and setting those
who expect to leave town to the task
Of packing up. But on the whole
suspect the lull was due more to
general reaction from the strenuous
days OF the Red Cross drive
They were strenuous days, you'll ad-
init; and while, Of course, much OF
tbs credit must go TO Henry B. F.
Mcfarland, who commanded the
drive in the District and his able
Meutenants, every citizen Of Wash
ington must have been lined up be-
hind them to carry the thing through
with such a rush and to entitle the
Capital TO the proud boast OF having
subscribed nearly three times It's

It's a pity Mr.. Hughes didn't stay
longer, for he's by way OF being a
great man, and they tell me he was
exceedingly we'll liked in London,
where colonial ministers are not al
ways taken very seriously. He's i
man OF the people, you know, leader
OF the Australian labor party, and is
blessed with a gift for impassioned
oratory which is somewhat surprising

It is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes

told OF Mr.. Hughes visit to London.

a dozen or a score of other great per-
sonages to meet him; and, since the
host knew the premier must be tired
of banquets and state functions, the
party was kept as informal as possible
and the invitation delivered-and ac-
cepted-by word OF mouth. The time
for the party came and passed-but

The President having put It up to
