the annual discussion regarding their
conservation. 1t is said that the
Christmas tree cutters find Vermont
laws easy as they can take their pick
of the best trees, leaving the culls. The
department of agriculture of Vermont
is making an effort to have 100000
trees set out each year but the reports
show that one man alone has already
bought 1,750,000 and that before this
enormous sale of trees can be stopped
the constitution of the state must be

SOUTHERN SUGAR BELT.

Many people are questioning the fix
ing of a maximum price of seventeen
or eighteen cents on Louisiana sugar
while the price of Cuban sugar Is held
down to ten cents a pound. One deal
er explains it by saying that the price
of Cuban sugar is on last year 5 crop
and the Louisiana price is on this year 5
crop but there is no assurance that the
new price will not be charged for old
sugar in Louisiana.
Is it possible the real explanation of
this difference of prices is that Louisi-
ana sugar is produced in the "sold

Of an arrest south of the Mason and
Dixon line. Cotton growers south of
that line have formed great combina-
tions to regulate the production of cot
ton, holding it down to a point where
the exorbitant prices of the past few
years may be maintained. None of the
immense stores of cotton held for high
er prices have been disturbed and the
cotton mills of New England are paying
the freight and passing the charges
along to the ultimate consumer. But
no steps have been taken to dissolve the
cotton trust.
Perhaps it is too much to charge that
the location of the southern sugar belt
has anything to do with the price of its
sugar, but it looks a little queer to the
northern consumer

CHANCE FOR NEW INDUSTRY.

1t is announced that Arthur L. Wis
sell, vice president, and George L. Koe
mig, treasurer, of VESSEL, Nickel &
Gross, manufacturers of piano actions
are visiting Montpelier with the view
of establishing large plant in Yer
mont. They ask for location where
they can be assured of 100000 feet of
rock maple yearly and state that I'M
der normal conditions the company will
employ $50 people making piano actions
and piano hammers, wood working
propositions, although they also man.
ufacture the hardware, brass and steel
used in their products.
This sounds like desirable industry
for Vermont. Evidently the plan is
first to investigate conditions at Mont
pelier, where the secretary of the board
of trade has given assurance that there
is 800 million feet of hardwood within
ten miles of the city and supply of a
million feet a year can be figured on.
Those are rather rosy figures, possibly
true.
Any good railroad center in Vermont
could assure the company of 100000
feet of rock maple yearly, many of
them in a radius of less than ten miles.
That amount of ripe maple trees could
be cut in many sections yearly without
Gripping the production of maple sug-
ar, because the removal of the old trees
would give the younger and thriftier
trees opportunity to develop. Trade
organizations in other sections of the
state should not let Montpelier monopo,
lie the opportunity.

Too Handsome.
bennington Banner.)

At the New England Fruit Show held
last week at Providence, .sThe Or
ehards : of Bennington lost the prizes
on Baldwins and Northern Spys be-
cause the apples they exhibited were
too large. Under the intensive and con
slant care given the trees at The Or
chards it is found that certain varieties
grow larger and actually look vastly
different from the past standard Of
these varieties. This proved particular
~ true this year of the Baldwin and
Northern Spy. They grew so large and
handsome that they weren I recognized
by their everyday acquaintance. The
Baldwin and Northern Spy always were
IN the aristocracy in New England S

A judge of Stamford, Conn, helped
this week to revive n parental prerog

parents of the boys were instructed to
do thorough job in the court room.
Possibly a iudicious application of this

have prevented any appearance in court.
