MOTION PICTURE CLUB
New Venture Innugurated by Vermont
Tuberculosis Association

The Neighborhood Motion Picture club
Is new venture inaugurated by the
Vermont tuberculosis association. The
object of the club is to present to COM
munities that have no regular entertain
ments and are willing to furnish the use
of hall the best motion pictures. The
association plans to form a Neighborhood
club In each of the towns where the pic
lures are shown. This club will not only
have complete charge Of the motion pic
lures but also will be an organzau'>n
In the interest of the health of that COM
munity. One-half Of the proceeds from
the pictures will go to the local club and
the other half will be used indirectly for
the community in the service of the
nurses of the association.
1t is the plan of the Vermont Tuber-
culosis association that the Neighborhood
clubs should not be used exclusively for
tuberculosis work but rather that they
should be an organization of the public
spirited citizens of the town, kept active
by the work Of taking care of the motion
pictures and partly financed from the
proceeds therefrom, for the purpose of
cooperating with all agencies interested
In the welfare work. So far, arrangements
have been made in six villages, Essex
Center. Shelburne. Lakeside, Fairfax,
Pittsford and West Rutland

HOW ABOUT ARTICHOKEs

The Jerusalem artichoke is like small
potato while the Globe artichoke Is not
like anything else, it has a globe-liko
head which is eaten. says to-days bull
letin from the National war garden COM
mission, Washington The Jerusalem
kind is planted early and is very easily
grown, but the globe one is more difficult
to produce and Is planted month later
Write to the commission for free gar
den book which will be sent to any reader
Of this paper. Two cent stamp for
postage should be enclosed.
The Jerusalem artichoke is grown like
the potato. The small tubers are planted
two or three in hill, and the large ones
are cut to two or more eyes like the
potato. The rows and hills should be
three or four feet apart The tubers will
be ready for use in October. They may
be left in the ground If desired and he
dug as needed: they are perfectly hardy
This artichoke is cooked like the potato
When once started the Jerusalem arti-
choke grows year after year II some OF
the tubers of each group are left in the
ground.
The globe artichoke may be grown from
seeds sown in n seedboX, seed-bed. cold
frame or hotbed, and when five or six
inches high are transplanted to the gar
den These young plants will not produce
heads the first year. They will live over
winter without protection except in cold
sections. The best way to do is to get
offsets or suckers from plants two oil
more years old and plant them in the
spring. These will bear heads the first
year. The rows should be three feet
apart, and the plants IS inches apart IN
the row. Give good cultivation to make
n strong growth.

mills of Winooski. the Queen City

nooski, when running at full speed,
employ about $500 persons but at the
present time they have but about 1900
on the weekly payroll. Just how much
of an increase will be granted to the
employees has not been announced as
the percentage will be figured from
the Boston office Of the company and
will become known here some time
this week.
At the Queen City Cotton mill about
500 persons are employed regularly
and at the Chace mills about 225. No
definite amount has been officially an
nounced up to the present time con-
corning the increase, but bulletins
posted in the factory are of a very
encouraging nature.
The increases in the wages of mill
operatives in Burlington and Winooski
come along with a general increase
to such workers throughout New Eng
land. and is voluntarily given by the
| companies.

copied for enlistment under the restric-
tons contained in this article. In regard

COUNTY AGENT RESIGNS
Roy w. Penslee to Return to New
Hampshire July

Roy w. Peaslee of this city has ten
dered to J. p. Ramsey Of Charlotte, the
president of the Chittenden County Farm
Bureau association, his resignation as
county agent, the same to become effec-
tive on July 1 on which date he will
assume the duties as county agent of the
Merrimack County Farm Bureau at Con-
cord, N. II.
Coming, as II does, out of a clear sky.
the resignation Of Mr.. Peaslee will cause
considerable surprise. Two weeks ago
the executive committee Of the Merrimack
County Farm Bureau gave Mr.. Peaslee a
very fiattering and attractive offer, which
under the circumstances he felt COM
PEELED to accept.
The work of the New Hampshire or
ganization will not be new to Mr.. Peaslee
as he came to the Chittenden county or
ganization last September from the
neighboring State. where he had been
assistant county agent for more than a
year. County Agent Arthur Davis, who
was in charge of the Merrimack county
organization, resigned last month and
accepted a position in Connecticut and
that left the organization without an
agent.
Since the resignation Of Agent Davis,
ing for a successor and several applicants
were considered but a canvass of the
$500 members of the organization in the
county resulted in a unanimous vote
for the re-hiring Of Agent Peaslee. If
possible.
Since Mr.. Peaslee came to the Chitten-
den county organization In September
there has been q substantial increase in
the membership, due to an active drive
staged early in the fall, a greater en-
thusiasm has been shown by the men,
bers towards pushing the work Of the
organization and payments of no small
amounts have been made towards the
wiping out Of the debts which have been
running for several years While the
members of the association will be
reluctant to have him go after making
such a good start, they are gratifed over
his work in the short period of his tenure
as county agent.

BIG CUT IN BEAN CROP
Price Also Takes n Tumble from That
OF Last Year

The bean crop of Grand Isle. which Is
one of the chief sources Of revenue for
the farmers there. is reported to be cut
years crop. Some startling figures reia-
tive to the price of beans are also men
toned.
Last summer beans were produced AT
Grand Isle by the thousands of busheis
and sold for eight dollars a bushel, while
the golden wax beans brought as high
as $40. This year the average farmer is
getting for his beans s4.2O per bushel'
Farmers do not give much explanation
of this condition of affairs, but say that
1t is the way the market is running.
Farmers who paid $l2 bushel for SEED
beans are now getting but four dollars
for the same variety Pea beans, golden
wax, and yellow eyed all bring around
the same amount.
Because of the anticipated condition
of the market this spring Grand Isle
farmers and others throughout the state
did not plant as many beans as In ror-
mer years so that now their loss is not
as great as 1t might be.
Very few of the thousands OF busheis
produced on the island are grown LOT
home consumption. Most OF them go
direct to the commission houses In bos-
ton and New York. In this way the
farmer. although he may not get quite
as much for his beans as II he sold
them here, is certain of a buyer VINO VIII
take the beans off his hands.
