APPLE SHIPMENTS
ABOUT $4,000 BARRELS
Revenue to Vermont Growers
Not Less Than 100000 as
Result of Best Season in Three
Years-SOuthern Tier Towns
Doing Well

About 5000 barrels of apples. which
ranged in price from So to Sc per barrel,
were shipped from Vermont to the big
buyers in New York city this fall, accord
ing to the apple buyers for William L..
Brown & Co. who are by far the biggest
buyers of apples in this state, That
means revenue of somewhere near
100000 which apple growers in Vermont
received this year from that source alone.
The apple crop this year turned out
much better than was expected. especially
in the southern part of the State, where
apple growing is a coming enterprise and
where many new orchards are being set
out In some towns in that section where
only a small amount of apples was
shipped a few years ago, there are or
chards now witch vie with the best in
the State. Taking the entire State into
consideration. this year is the best in
three years and the price have been far
better than ever before.
In Grand Isle county there was an aver
age crop this year and about 5000 barrels
were shipped Most of these went by boat
to Plattsburgh. where they were sent by
train to the big storehouses in Albany
ana other places along the Hudson. Shell
burne did very well and in all about 5000
were shipped from that town. This
included about 1000 barrels which went
from Shelburne Point. including Shelburne
Farms, j. Watson Webb's. and Clarence
Morgan's places. G. c. Fletcher shipped

about 400 barrels. C. D. Ordway's farm
about 500 and other places in Shelburne
about 1000 more
Ferrsburg shipped about 5000 barrels
In addition to the apples grown in that
town, this is shipping point for Bris-
toll, Starksboro. Monkton and other places,
and large part of the apples came from
outside the township. Charlotte had about
an average crop.
Some small places along the Massa-
chusetts border come to the front during
apple picking time and such places as
Halifax ship large quantities of apples as
the result of the industry of the apple
growers in the section. John Kersinsky,
new conner in Grove, which is a post
office in the town of Halifax, shipped
about 1000 barrels this year and o. d.
Omidon of the same place sent out about
700, While the northern part of Vermont.
in places, became disheartened over apple
raising because of the large losses caused
by bad weather. the southern part OF
the State suffered none of these hard
ships and is more than making up for
any shortage which may come in the
north.
For the first time in three years there
was no trouble in obtaining apple pickers
IN Vermont this fall, and Vermonters
picked large quantity of apples in

the occasion OF othe: editorial consratu-
iation, the public has a right to assume
that the physician famine in our rural
communities is a more serious proposition
than some people supposed. The Brad
ford United Opinion says:
Tho Barre Times and the Rutland Her
aid have been discussing Corinth and its
lack of doctors but now East Corinth has
u regular physician, the discussion is at
an end. 1t was a good discussion with
merit on both sides of the argument
There can be no question but that small
towns offer a field for doctor for gen.
eral practice but necessarily the field is
limited if wealth or fame are desired.
There is no limitation on the field for
service. Undoubtedly, small towns offer
much In the way Of a start in the profess
sion, as the young doctor has to learn to
stand on his own knowledge and judy
ment and he meets up with all the prob.
lens of a scattered general practice. We
are glad another doctor has decided to
cast in his lot in the Corinths because he
is needed and he will find that he has
to do with as fine lot of people as can
be found anywhere"
The fact remains that the problem of
inducing physicians educating under a
largely increased expense is still with us.
AS business proposition few men can
afford to spend the additional two years
now required for medical education and
locate where they will have merely liv-
Ing practice. The high cost Of producing
doctors is one of the problems of the day.

VERMONT IN CONGRESS

In 1903 Vermont had no less than four
members of Congress, In the course of
time changes in the basis of congression-
al representation reduced our delegation
in the national House to three,
and ultimately to two Some time ago
we showed that in all human probability
the next congressional reapportonment
following the census of 1920 would re-
duce our representation in Congress to
one so that our one congressman might
some respects as one of our two United
States senators. The Vergennes Enter
prise and Vermonter discusses This
situation in an interesting manner as
follows
THE national census, which is taken
once In ten years. will come in 1920. and
the outcome Of this census promises to
be Of much interest to Vermont. Upon
the census returns which are made
every ten years representation in the
lower house Of Congress is based. This
representation, owing to the Increase in
population, Is lowered per capita once in
a decade. The census of 1910 gave YER
mont a little over $4,000 people, which.
under the re-arranged basis of re-
presentation, was barely enough to give
it two congressman. Under the basis to
be established on next years census,
Vermont cannot hope to have but one
congressman, Not only will the con-
Gao. but the number of presidential
electors VII be correspondingly reduced
and its delegation to the national con-
vention thereafter will be six instead Of
eight. This prediction is based on the
superstition that Vermont has made but
very slight gain in population during
the last ten years, suppos!t,on which
Eeems to be- only too well founded.
with ths reduction of its representa-
ton In the lower house of Congress I"
onn. Vermont will be faced with tho prob
lem of what to do with the mountain rule
Under the present arrangement the two
Congressional districts are very nearly
e.anly divided by a line running north
and south through the middle Of the
State. This gives each side a representa-
tive and a senator in Congress. The in
fluence of this mountain rule In never
lost sight of in the choice Of a governor,
and other State offices usually go on a
geographic division. When It comes to
the choice of q single congressman a sit
uation entirely new in Vermont politics
will have been created, and 1t will be in
teresting to note how 1t will work out.

Saying Things in English

Foreigners find our language among the hardest
of all languages to learn and it is open to criticisms
on various scores. Once learned thoroughly how
ever it probably is superior to any other for
pressing exact shades of meaning and putting
thought into words orcefully. This is because it is
rich in synonymous terms, due to it's having been
made up largely by words borrowed from other
tongues
Now that international relationships have been
greatly extended and national horizons have been
generally widened, need for language adopted to
common world use has been recognized. Prof Ra-
leigh of Oxford believes that English, because of it's
rich vocabulary, better for this purpose than any
other existing language To illustrate how it be
used to express given ideas in several different ways

The Crafting Turk in Palestine

Under the Turk in Palestine the principal tax

this 1.-THE was first assessed by travelling commission
of minor government officials who bllleted them
as much as they could. Following the assessors
came the farmer who bought the right Of collect
ing taxes from the Turkish Government for lump
sum, and then went down to the villages to get
what profits he could for himself. The government
was cheated and the cultvator cheated, and if
the tax farmer cheated both in this transaction, he
was probably cheated in turn by someone else in an
other transaction. The Turkish Government
tracted as much money from the country it posi-
bly, could and spent as little it could in mainten-
ance, public services, or development The Turks
made no roads, and if the local inhabitants desired
make road they had to pay for it themselves and
also bad to pay the whole series of Turkish officials
for the privilege. Except for the missionary and
the Jewish schools, which were, of course, all
provided for by the charity of the outside world.
practically money spent education. The
bulk of the Mohammedan population neither

been utterly neglected. Even police had to be pro-
vided by the colouists villagers themselves All

East Oriental. The Turkish government would oc-
casionally make displays of its authority. but most
people gamboled being able to evade the law
in the of being caught, relied upon getting off
by bribery.
After the introduction of the Turkish regime.
the cultivation of tobacco became a government
monopoly. This however, did not deter the Pales-
tinan villagers from the profitable cultivation of
contraband. Occasionally the Turkish government
would send policeman to enforce the law. The
policeman descended upon the village. pulled up
quarter or a third of the tobacco plants, had the
principal men of the village beaten until he extracted
a sufficient monetary bride in order to enable him to
retire in affuence leaving the remainder of the crop
for the repetition of similar practices by his col
leagues. Such regime has left behind it tradition of
chicanery and distrust of all government which it
will take long years to eradicate. Above all, the
Turkish motto was divide ct impera," and the
Turkish official sought to maintain bis authority
chiefly by setting creed against Creed against
race and class against class.
