1t is hard to understand why there were
not more applications from university men
for appointments to the school. for in
most places the officers are deluged with
applications. In this case the fact that
such appointments were to be made was
given the widest publicity. Circulars were
sent out to all the graduates in classes
Of the last ten years. OF course a large
number Of Vermont men are already In
the service and 1t may be that there are
only a few left who deem themselves
capable of passing an examination. The
! time for making applications expired May
1 SO that 1t is now too late for anyone
to avail himself Of the opportunity.

SUGAR BEET SEED FREE

The United States Department Of Agri-
culture has sent the extension service Of
the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College a limited quantity
of sugar beet seed for free distribution
in connection with the boys and girls
club work.
This will be put ont a pound or more in
community. 1t is suggested that sugar
beet clubs be organized with five to ten
members, each member to plant and
care for one or more ounces Of seed.
Those who are enrolling In garden work
can do this work with sugar beets.
There will be two requirements Of each
person who secures this free seed:
First. each person will be required to
raise sugar beets and convert the most
Of them into sugar beet syrup for home
use.
Second, each person will be required
to raise sugar beet seed next year in at
least q sufficient quantity to return what
was given him free this year.
The process Of sugar extraction Is very
simple. Anyone having a soil adapted
to growing sugar beets should try few
rows this year. They yield heavily and
should prove a cheap source OF sugar.
In this year Of war sugar beet syrup
might be made to help out THE. sugar
you can't buy
The sugar beet does best on rich.
deep. loose, permeable soil. A light. rich.
sandy soil furnishes beets rich In sugar.
A heavy. clay soil is not apt to produce
good sugar beets. Rocky or stony land
must be avoided as 1t produces mis-
shapen roots hard to clean. Wet, low
lands are, of course. undesirable. Green
sward is not considered as good as old
land. A shallow soil. or. one having a
hard sub-soil. would not be recommended
for growing sugar beets. Have a good
deep soil. Most Vermont garden soils
would grow good sugar beets.
II you have the right soil conditions
and are willing to produce sugar beet
syrup this year and sugar beet seed next
year, in return for free seed this year
write to the State club leader. Vermont
Agricultural Extension Service. Burling-
ton. You can thus secure not only free
seed, but the directions for planting and
care, and for the extraction Of sugar
beet syrup next fall. You will be told
also how to raise the seed next year.
The first to make request naming best
conditions. will have first consideration

that, It is intended to have speakers
present, who will stir the people up and
keep the morale at high tone.
Although 1t has not been decided
definitely whether meeting will be held
here. committees have been appointed to
look into the matter. j. T. Stearns will
head the general committee. and other
committees will be appointed to take care
Of the arrangements in case the meet
ing ia held. Sunday afternoon the
committee appointed to get meeting
place, music, ushers. ETC.. met at the
home of s. L. Platka, who is the chair
man. 1t is intended to get the univer-
