Neglect of Apple Orchards in Vermont

A writer in the Barre Times is much
concerned over the future of the apple
orchards in Vermont unless they receive
more careful attention. He is no doubt
warranted in the fears he has. A great
many orchards that otherwise would be
productive and sources of good income
are unquestionably practically valueless
to-day because they have been allowed
TO 90 to ruin for lack of any care what
ever.
Some of these trees, albeit old and
broken, can be saved for many years to
come, or while young trees are coming to
a bearing age. There are instances where
progressive orehardsts have gotten hold
of rundown property and harvested con
siderable crops of fruit while the newly
planted trees were gaining growth. A
conspicuous instance of this kind is seen
on the property Of r. r. McRae, Castle
ton Corners in Rutland county. Some
old and decrepit trees were properly
pruned and have been productive of high
class fruit. Meanwhile Mr. McRae has
magnificent young orchard of 10000 to
$4,000 apple trees that are about ready
now to come into full fruitage.

ton several who have gone into orchard
planting on a smaller scale, are showing
in material way their faith in the apple
as one of the most promising crops of
Vermont
There is nothing anywhere in this
country to compare in flavor, looks or
spiciness with the Vermont apples grown
under proper circumstances, They are
far and away superior to the more or
less pulpy and tasteless apples from
Oregon, Washington and elsewhere in the
extreme northwest, where irrigation in
stead of nature furnishes the moisture
necessary. The climate, including soil,
sun and atmosphere, of Vermont seems
to produce fruit unriyalled in any see
ton. Short sighted, indeed, is the farm
er that doesn't cultivate and take care
of this, which might be one of his best
sources of income. Rutland News

Chicago's Race Riots.

In its anxiety to help allay the SEN
timents of hostility that long have been
developing between the white and colored
races in certain neighborhoods of Chi
cago as a result of the enormous influx
of negroes mainly from the southern
states, during the last four years. The
Daily News recently has published a
number of articles showing not only the
causes for this great increase in the col
ored population, but the conscientious
and systematic efforts of intelligent and
patriotic citizens of that race to miti-
gate the evils of the abnormal situa.
ton thus produced. Though race riots
in Chicago have been freely prophesied
for months by well-informed men in
public positions, no effective efforts have
been put forward to relieve the growing
strain among individuals in and about
the so-called black belt. Now the ter
rible consequences of this neglect are
apparent to the world
There is no doubt that thoughtless or
lawless representatives of both races
have 50 conducted themselves as to
arouse deadly antagonisms. The muir
derous riots and deliberate killings that
have disgraced the city in the last two
days and nights have been long fore
seen, might have been prevented if less
politics and more plain good will had
been used in dealing with the grave stu
alton Race problems are not to be solved
with guns and bricks and knives The
present shame of Chicago is due mainly
to the policy Of exploitation, misrepre-
sentation and drift that has prevailed
through the months and years in which
the deadly outbreak shas been preparing.
