symptoms disappear after three or four
days, the patient then rapidly recover

develop pneumonia, or inflammation

this so-called Spanish influenza is
identical with the epidemics Of influen-

"Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
Ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Spain. Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of the dis

of influenza, starting somewhere in the
Orient, spread first to Russia and
thence over practically the entire civ
ilized world. Three years later there
was another flare-up Of the disease.
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States.
although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza there is no
reason to believe that it originated in
Spain. Some writer's who have studied
the question believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at.

has been interested in getting the
tractor idea adopted in Addison
county, Mr.. Seeley has already booked
40 acres of blowing for Arthur w.
Eddy and f. b. Cornwall and a large
amount of narrowing for Lucius But
tolph. In view of the fact that the plan
Is an experiment and Mr.. Seeley has in
sense volunteered by risking large
investment in it, the work will be done
as near as possible to actual cost, con-
sidering the depreciation and main
tenance Of the machine.
The tractor idea has been talked Of
great deal at different State meet
ings of agricultural authorities and
been urged highly by the farm war
council at Montpelier. While it is not
adapted to all sections of Vermont,
particularly to some of the stony re-
gions. Addison county is considered an
ideal section for the work as Is pos
sesses broad expanse of fields and it's
heavy clay soil is comparatively easily
worked by the tractor plows and har.
rows.
In New York State the tractor plan was
tried last year for the first time with a
fair degree of success, but the mistake
was there made of community ownership
of tractors, and the letting Of the machine
out to farmers who were so lacking in
technical training that the cost of the up
keep of the machine was excessive. In
this county it is proposed that the ma
chine shall be kept in the hands of those
who have made a study of their work;
and 1t is hoped by the farm bureau that
farmers in other sections of he county will
follow the example which Mr. Seeley has
set, County Agent Bartlett believing that
it will do more than anything else to in
crease the county's food production.
Any other section of the county inter-
ested in the idea is assured Of the coopera-
ton of the farm bureau in the procuring
Of experienced men to run the tractors
and also of the bureaus help in finding
farmers who need work done.
No solution has yet been found in the
full relief Of the labor scarcity which
threatens the farmers this summer. Most
farms are assured of their regular year
around help but day labor Is scarce with
no prospect OF conditions being better cx-
cept for such help as will come from the
released Of the school children early In May.
Tho boys from schools will probably do
more this year than ever, many Of them
having become for the first time last sum-
mer well seasoned in farm work. and for
patriotic reasons moro eager to take VI

FARM ACCOUNTS
Treasury Ruling FavOrr Books Recon.
mended by Local County Agent

mended by Local County Agent
The time has now expired for making
income tax returns for 1917. In making
the returns for the past year most farm
ers had to do great deal Of estimating.
1t Is expected that the collectors of the in
come tax will demand more accurate fg-
ures this coming year. Therefore 1t will
be more necessary to keep some record
Of the receipts and expenses Of the busi-
ness.
Daniel c. Roper. the commissioner Of
internal revenue. recently made a ruling
concerning the way farmers might make
out their returns In previous rulings
the farm receipts or farm expenses were
not effected by change in the value Of
stock, tools, or feed on hand the end Of
the year. Under the new ruling an in
creased inventory at the end Of the year
may be included in the receipts. In a SIM
liar way, a decrease in the inventory
would be included in the expenses for the
year. This will be an added incentive for
farmers to take an inventory Of their
business once a year.
County Agent F. r. Churchill at 1879
Church street has some Vermont farm ac-
count books. They are simple to keep and
are a convenient form in which to record
the years business on the farm. There
are pages for a detailed inventory at the
beginning and end Of the year. This
makes the books one Of the best forms
to keep for making income tax returns.
A summary Of the book at the end Of the
year is practically the same as the sum-
mary needed on the income tax sheet.
Farmers who are not now keeping rec
ord Of their business should begin at once.
The income tax, alone. is SUFFICIENT reason
for doing this. Account books may be OBJ
tanned from the county agents ONCE. He
will be glad to assist In entering the in
ventory and in keeping the book.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CANNED
TOMATOES.

The 1918 tomato canning season has al
ready opened, The Gamer reporting that
Florida establishment had begun put
ting up this vegetable in February. Cam
ned tomatoes fill such an important part
IN feeding our army that tho government
Is hoping for a material increase from
the tomato canning States. In some States
the Increase desired Is placed as high as
80 per cent. In an open letter to Indiana
farmers asking them to bring the tomato
acreage In that State up from $4,000 to
$4,000 acres. Prof. q. I. Christie. of Perdue
University. pointed out tbs place Of
tomatoes OH menus for soldiers saying:
"The war department accepts no SUBJ
stitute. Tbs tomato. in addition to fur
nishing food valve, quenches the thirst
OF the men and thus serves n dual pur-
pose. 1t is universally liked and can be
easily transported and saved under all
climatic conditions. The last season the
United States government took practically
20 per cent. of the entire pack of the can
nerics. Next year. with largely Increased
military forces, tho government will re-
quire II still larger amount of tomatoes
During 1917 Indiana farmers produced
$4,000 acres of tomatoes. This acreage, ac-
cording to government requirements,
must be increased to $4,000 acres for 1918.
indiana farmers are interested In produce
ing crops that are needed to meet the de-
mands Of our boys at the front. Surely
no farmer can serve In more direct way
than by growing few acres of tomatoes
ana supply foodstuffs that Is needed and
winch will serve SO valuable a purpose.
AS State food director for Indiana l urge
Indiana farmers to give consideration to
these problems and that they exert every
possible effort to produce In 1918 the
largest quantity Of tomatoes ever grown
In the history Of the State. With the spirit
OF service and an attempt to meet the pro-
gram of the government wa can back the
boys In way that will bring the war
to speedy and successful conclusion"
