VARIETIES OF SILAGE CORN
FOR BENNINGTON COUNTY

In order to determine the most de-
sirable varieties of corn for silage IN
Bennington County, the Bennington
County Farm Bureau carried on 10
trial plots on farms in various sec
tions Of the county the past season
Fifteen varieties were used, eleven OF
which were tried out systematically on
all of the farms.
There was approximately $4,000 per
acre difference in feeding value of the
better and the poorer varieties and the
poorer varieties heretofor have been
most commonly grown. It is not so
important to fill the silo as to put the
most valuable silage into it. AS a
matter of fact the large growing vari-
eties actually weighed less than those
which became nearer mature, In both
corn and forage. The three varieties
that proved most favorable under this
test and which are recommended here
in Bennington county are: Halls Cold
en- Nugget, Luces' Favorite, Sanford
White Flint.
1t costs no more to raise the right
variety. One bushel Of seed of the
most desirable varieties will grow
from $4,000 to $4,000 more valuable
silage than the late maturing corn.
Let's see to it that we get the most
from our land and labor by growing
the right variety. Ask your seed man
for some of the above varieties. We
expect to carry on more systematic
trial Of silage corn the coming season.

NEW COAL REGULATIONS

Montpelier, VT, Jan. 20-Dr. Car
field announced today that zone and
price regulations on coke and coal, ex-
cept Pennsylvania Anthracite, will be
suspended February /. This refers to
mine prices, wholesalers margin, pur-
chasing agents commissions and re-
tail margins and prices.
Among the reasons which prompted
the above determination was the fact
that the stocks of bituminous coal now
on hand throughout the country are
sufficient to provide consumers with
biuin1inous coal and coke for the win
ter season. even if the mild weather
TINS far should be succeeded BY a
neriod of severe weather. The aver
are stocks of bituminous coal for the
country on the first day Of January
approximated seven weeks supply;
the storage on hand in the regions
most remote from the mines being
sufficient for 20 weeks.
Attention is also called 10 the fact
that the maximum prices and zone
regulations on Pennsylvania Anthra-
cite coal, which is largely domestic
are not affected by the above an
nouncement.

crowds were American and orderly
and bent on having and giving a good
time. Our concert hall was full OF
boys from II a. m. until II p. m. At
no time was there less than 500 boys
and most Of the time there were from
1000 to 1900. The Royal Air Force
Band, an English military band OF

Jazz and two lady Jazz bands, one
Jewish and one English with an
American singer, furnished the music.

A suggestion has been made that
roads be built and named after those

Would not Vermont do well 10 honor

Manchester men in the service Of the

most suitable place is the soldiers

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The Patrol Committee highway bill is
printed in full in another column Of
this issue and should be carefully read
by everyone. The outstanding fca-
lures Of the bill are the change in
the highway department which is To
be composed of three men instead Of
a single highway commissioner, the
department having greater power
than under the present law, and the
provision for the employment of an
expert to make road plans for the
State. The law will insure careful
planning of all road work and econom-
ical use Of the money expended. Many
states have wasted much money by
hurrying their highway expenditures
without careful investigation Of meth
ods of building and financing.

the old battle line, from Chateau
Thierry southwark. He said he in
tends to investigate the report that
American soldiers were needlessly sac
rificed and that he is especially inter-
ested in the stories of men being sent
into battle just an hour before the
armistice became effective.
The congressman said he believed
standing army of 100000 OF 100000
will be sufficient for the United
States. if universal training is adopted.

IS CHANGED
Baker Says Chamberlain Was
Author of Courts Martial.
Same System Which He Now
Wants Changed.

Yuma, Ariz., March 21.-Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker, who is on
an inspection tour of the army camps
of the country, in replying to charges
made yesterday in Washington by
Senator George E. Chamberlain of
Oregon, chairman of the senate mill
tary affairs committee, that the secre-
tary was under the influence of reac-
tionaries opposed to changes in the
army court martial system, said that
the senator himself caused to be en-
acted the system which he is attack
ing. Secretary Baker and party pass
ed thru here late last night and are
expected to reach Ell Paso today Sec
rotary Bakers statement follows:
81 cannot permit myself to be drawn
into a newspaper controversy with
Senator Chamberlain about officers of
the army to whom 1 hold an official
relation and whose conduct 1 must
judge dispassionately and upon all the
evidence I can obtain.
THAT duty is mine and not Senator
Chamberlain's and 1 shall perform it
unbiased and unhurried by abuse or
agitation.
ut is important, however, to note
that the system of court martial and
of military justice which the senator
attacks is one which he himself caused
to be enacted in 1915 when it was
presented by me as a reform and a
moderation of the previously existing
irregularities.
at is also important to note that
the amendment which I sent to Sem
ator Chamberlain as chairman of the
military affairs committee of the sem
ate more than a year ago and more
than a year before the occasion for
the present discussion has SO far as
L know never been presented by him
to the military affairs committee for
considera tion
