FARM BUREAU NOTES.
Be Cautious in Applying Commercial
Fertilizer in 1920

Crops were injured in many sections
of the country during 1919, probably
because of the usage of fertilizers
containing more or less borax- This
is a relatively new proposition and
was caused by the use of certain
American sources of potash. The
fertilizer trade is vigorously attempt
ing to control the borax content
in their several brands which will
be sold in 1920. The likelihood that
further trouble will be experienced,
particularly in Vermont where large
amounts are not often applied, is rela-
lively small. However, farmers should
seek to avoid possible injury to this
years crops by taking proper precau-
tlonary measures.
Considerable stocks of potash salts
containing more or less borax were
purchased by the trade before any
one realized how poisonous borax
might be. Inevitably, some of these
stocks must be used in fertilizer man
ufacture. Now it is quite possible
that farmers who apply large quanti-
ties of fertilizers and place them close
to the terminating seed, may thwart
the efforts which manufacturers are
now making so to reduce the propor-
ton OF borax as to render their fer
tllizers safe for use when applied in
the ordinary fashion. Damage is most
likely to occur, if it occurs at all.
because of the excessive concentration
of the fertilizer in the close vicinity
OF the plant roots. The danger of
damage may be reduced If the fer
tilizer is broadcasted instead of being
applied IN the hill or drill. If nm
usually large quantities of a high
potash brand are employed it may be
wise to apply it twice in moderate
! quantities instead of all at once.
1t is confdentally expected that
bOraX is not likely to be serious fac
tor in 1920 in Vermont, yet precau-
tlons may as well be taken in respect
| to fertilizer usage as not; for even
under normal conditions as good or
better results are often obtained when
the fertilizer is somewhat widely dis
tributed in the soil than when it is
applied direct in the hill or drill
Farmers using the quantities ordin-
pounds or less per acre, in all human
probability need not worry about bo-
rax. Those expecting to employ larger
| amounts should get in touch with
their county agent or directly with
the Experiment. Station to determine
whether or not the large usage viii be
likely to be, safe.
| The North Atlantic Experiment
Stations are combining in series of
vegetation trials in the Vermont sta
tion greenhouses with the view of de-
termining the type of injury caused
| by borax and the limitations of usage
Furthermore, it is expected as early
in the spring as possible to analyze ali
fertilizers found on sale in Vermont
and promptly to issue statement as
to their borax content

Army Balloon Lands in Albany

One of the three army balloons en-
gagged in the endurance race from
Long Island to Montreal landed in
Albany early Sunday morning with .
crew of three completely exhausted
in their midwinter flight. The ma
chine has been packed up and shipped
to Long Island and the members of
the crew went to Montreal Sunday
night from Orleans. They had been
in the air II hours and suffered great
ly from the cold Saturday night, as
the mercury was Is below zero. Once
during the night they saw one of the
other balloons signal through the dark
ness. People from miles around
flocked to this little village to see
the big balloon and interview the

PRISONER ESCAPES JAIL
German Who Skipped Parole in Illi-
nois Has Brief Liberty Here.

Henry Schickedaus, a German pris-
oner who skipped his parole from an
Illinois penitentiary and has been kept
in the Newport Jail since he was in
tercepted here by immigration Off
GERS some weeks ago, escaped
February 25. He had been taken
by Officer SWEET to the barber shop,
and having finished before SWEET
returned for him started off as was
supposed, back to the Jail. Inquiries
about town and through the railroad
yard gave no trace of him. About
Is o'clock through communication with
the farmers it was learned that such
a man had passed the Neddow farm
about three miles out on the Coventry
road. The Benware store in Coventry
was at once notified to hold the man
on his arrival there, and Officer SWEET
Immediately started for Coventry by
team. The man was kept there until
SWEET arrived. with no trouble and
was brought back here during the
evening. The man will be sent back
to Illinois to serve term of 13
years.

1t has been rumored that the Moni-
tor was to be moved from Barton. Let
it be said for once and all that no
such move is contemplated. Such re-
ports probably started from the fact
that the publishers of the Monitor be
gan publication of The Newport
News in Newport last August and
plan the establishment of printing
and publishing plant in that place
In fact the publishers of the Monitor
last week took title to real estate In
Newport which is soon to be trans
formed into a splendid printing and
publishing plant.
The Monitor plant in Barton has
been crowded beyond its capacity for
the past year, and since much of its
business comes from Newport and
points north, a plant in Newport
would facilitate the handling of this
business. Hence the establishment of
a Newport plant. For more than
two years the undersigned have been
publishing the North Troy Palladium
but have maintained printing plant
and the publication Office of the Pal
ladium in North Troy. And SO, be-
cause the publishers of the Monitor
are to operate printing plant In New
port does not mean that the publica-
tion office of the Monitor will be mov-
ed
With the crowded condition of its
Barton Office, where much work has
had to be turned away, the establish
ment of a Newport printing plant
may mean moving such part of our
Barton equipment as causes conges-
ton here, to Newport and new equip
ment added there to complete fine
Newport plant and with an Office In
Barton, Newport and North Troy, the
mechanical work on the various pub
lications and job printing itself,
would be varied from one office to an
other as best suited conditions. But
the fact of the establishment of
Newport plant in no sense means the
discontinuance of a printing Office in
Barton, or the moving of the Moni-
tor to Newport" as some have re-
ported.

Monotony of Town Meeting Broken by
Dog

Tuesdays town meeting was one of
the quietest and shortest on record,
all business conected with the "a arti
cles being disposed of before II
o'clock, and not so much as a ripple
of excitement was manifest during
the meeting. There was considerable
merriment when a dog loudly voted
"aye" on putting w. w. Reirden into
the office of town agent. 0. II. Moss
man rose to say that the dog was his
and that he was ashamed of the way
it voted, while Mr.. Reirden suggested
that perhaps Mr.. Hamblet in putting
the motion did not make it clear just
what they were voting for, where
upon Mr. Hamblet declared the ques-
ton was clear but he doubted wheth-
er all voting were legal voters. The
affair caused rounds of laughter.
In the absence of Miss May, town
clerk, G. E. Hamblet, acted as tenn
porary clerk. A change from the US
ual course of electing road commits
sioners was made when the vote to
have the selected men appointed was
carried. The town tax was raised
from go to 70 cents and the town
school tax from 85 cents to -S1.15. The
usual $1,000 was voted for perman-
ent highway work to be matched by
the state, $500 was voted for the IL
brary, and $50 for the town G. A. r.
Posts for the proper celebration of
Memorial day.
There was no opposition to exempt
ing the two concerns of VESSEL,
Nickel & Gross and Fairbanks & Red
field, who expect to locate in Barton.
The term of exemption was for ten
years.
G. A. Humphrey refused to serve
as overseer of the poor, as did A. A.
on the board of selectmen. Officers
as elected will be found in another
column.
