SEND MILK TO SPRINGFIELD
instead Of to Boston, 1t Was Decided
in Windbam County

IN Wtndnam CounIy
Brattleboro, Sept 30.-Pians have
been worked out by the milk producers
CT this section for changing their mar
ket from Boston to Springfield, Mass,
it was stated yesterday by County
Agricultural agent Wayland P. Frost
The change goes into effect Wednes-
day, on the expiration of the contract
with the Whiting and Elm Farm COM
panies of Boston.
The producers will accept an offer of
the A. H. Phillips company of Spring
field, which will not contain the sur
plus clause of the Boston contract.
BY this calause the price is reduced
when milk is plentiful if the shipments
exceed a certain amount. There will
be a substantial saving in shipping
charges under the new plan. The
producers will divert about 1000
quarts day from Boston to Spring
field.
The New England Milk Producers
association has given notice of an in
crease of half cent quart for Oct
ober milk and has promised another
half cent increase for November. The
producers now receive nine cents. The
increased price and the saving under
the new contracts will mean about
100000 to the producers in this local
ity the coming year.

KILL OFF PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges of RaVaeng Rogues
Results in Saving More Than
100000 Worth of Stock.

1t is estimated that the bureau of
biological survey Of the United States
department of agriculture is saving
annually over 100000 worth Of live
stock for the ranchers of the Rocky
mountain section as q result Of its in
tensive campaign against predatory an
finals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period 60,45S coyotes, S085 bobcats,
1929 wolves, POI mountain lions, and
1877 bears have been trapped or shot,
and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale of
pelts of animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work is of special i'm
portance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the range prOduc-
ing meat, wool, and leather are afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermOre, clearing the range of preda-
tory animals is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for improv-
ing the quality of the breeding stock.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY

You were asked to give up
wheat, and you did it. You
were asked to economic on
sugar; and you did it. You were
asked 20 observe heatless Mon
days and gasless Sundays-and
you did that too.
These were wartime measures
designed to accomplish specific
purposes. There is another war
time measure which every farm
er and truck gardener who ex-
poets to use fertilizers next
spring. must observe.
Fertilizers must be ordered
now and shipment accepted at
once. Fertilizer factory forces
have been severely cat down
and it is only by starting in
now and running every day I'M
til spring. that anything APP
preaching an adequate supply
Of fertilizers can be produced.
The farmer must help by getting
the finished goods out Of the
factory and out Of the way so
more goods can be made.

hogs and fat steers must later on be
marketed at the same time-tO the
disadvantage of all concerned.
But-why grow soft corn, when O
crop of hard corn costs less per
buShel?
Corn is planted when the soil is still
cold, and just after the soil has been
leached by the winters rains. Avail
able plant food in the soil is lacking.
The reserves in the seed are soon ex-
hausted, and then the plant "hangs
tre"-makes no growth, remains small,
splndling, and sickly-until such time
as the weather warns up and soil
plant food begins to become available.
Available plant food, especially avail
able phosphoric acid and ammonia,
when applied in fertilizer have won
derful effect in saving time-in getting
growth started early in the season.
Later on in the summer poorly fer
tilted corn once again "hangs fire."
1t waits, and waits, and is eternally
slow in ripening its seed. Too often
such crop is caught, still immature,
by the first killing frosts of the season.
A high available phosphoric acid fer
dlizer applied at time of planting is
tremendous aid in ripening up the
corn quickly and surely.

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter of Proper Amount of Bodily
Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
erection of Individual.

at is an axiom that mental excel
lence is to very considerable extent
dependent upon a mans physical con-
dition," declared Secretary of State
Robert Lansing. ut is equally true
that rules of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
on the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
''If were asked to lay down rules
which might be applied generally" con-
tinued the American premier, II
would embody them in the phrase
More fresh air and less food How
much bodily exercise should be taken
and it's character depend upon the
individual, his physical condition and,
to an extent, on his tastes. OF course,
exercise is, as a rule, beneficial, but
it ought to be pleasure to the one
taking it if he would get the best re-
suits.
at may sound like heresy, but l
sometimes wonder whether exercise,
when it is not a diversion, is really
worth while. Certainly the mind Is
not rested if it rebels against certain
forms of physical training which are
being taken, and recreation for the
mind of one engaged in intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion. one of the
most essential purposes of exercise of
the muscles.
II believe, however, as have said,
that fresh air is one of the great re-
storatives, and the fact that exercise
is generally taken in the open is one
of it's chief benefits. From "Secre-
tary Lansings Story of His Health
and Energy" by Richard M. Winans

LADUK SHORTAGE THREATENS
PRODUCTION
The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit by
the War.

The supply Of fertilizer for 1915
spIiar soWn crops is threatened by
shortage of labor in the fertilizer fac
tories. This fact is of particularly Sc
riOus import to the potato farmers of
the country, for the great potato sec
tiOns are coming more and more to de-
pend on fertilizer for the economical
production of this crop. Thus it hap
pens that the very factor which pre-
vents factories running to full capac-
ity also has effect in preventing farm
ers from using their own depleted farm
labor supply to best advantage. Labor
cannot be used to advantage on those
fields which can give but half a crop.
The fertilizer industry is normally
a seasonal industry. About the first
of February the factories are. normally
in full blast, producing fertilizer for
use on spring crops. Then they Idle
down" again for period of several
months in late spring and early sum-
mer. This requires a large floating
supply of labor, a supply which has
largely been eaten up by demands of
the shipyards and munition factories.
Transferring the industry from
seasonal basis to a full IL months OPP
Grating basis will certainly be econom-
iCal Of labor. The factories can then
work at somewhat diminished daily
capacity for more weeks in the year,
and in this way get out the necessary
tonnage. 1t can't be done at once,
however, because factories do not have
storage space enough to allow of this.
Goods must be shipped out almost as
fast as they are made-so that the
greatest possible output by the re-
supply Of labor may be as
sured.
If fertilizer users the country over
will order early, through accustomed
and agree to take the goods
from the car on arrival, much may be
done to help insure a sufficient supply
for next springs business. Early or
dering, however, means NOW.

THE WORLD SHORTAGE
of LIVE STOCK

A census of cattle in France
reveals a decrease of II per
cent in beef animals, 80 per cent
in sheep and 40 per cent in hogs
since December 81, 1913. Italy
has suffered a loss of 81 per
cent of horses, Is per cent for
mules, and 8 per cent for swine.
No one can even guess what the
decrease in Germany, Austria,
and Russia has been, but it must
be enormous. According to a re-
liable estimate the decrease Of
live stock in all Europe is equal
to One-half the amount of live
stock in America today. This
estimate places the loss at 1OO.-
100000 head.
