Vermont Forests
(Brattleboro Phoenix)


In an interview State Forester W.
G.. Hastings says there are approx
mately 100000 acres of land in Yer
mont that is not adapted to agricul-
ture, that half of this land is good for
est land supporting a satisfactory
stand of timber, that there are about
/ 100000 acres on which practice of
forestry for numbering is Impractical
BILE or impossible. The remaining
million acres has been cut over or
burned over that is not coming back
naturally to forest trees of desirable
species. To reforest this area he
estimates will require the planting Of
100000 trees for a period of %
years. Half of this work would be
divided between $4,000 farms. He
also estimates that the growth of tim
Der in Vermont is about equal to the
annual cutting.
It is reassuring to know that the
timber supply of the state is not being
overcut, or that the immense amount
of 200, 000, 900 board feet and 1,000,-
600 cords of timber are grown
in the state each year. This
100000 acres of land and shows a
growth of 100 board feet and one-haH
cord per acre. The statement that
this growth is only % per cent as
! large as 1t should be SHOWS the oppor-
tunity of developing timber growth on
/ the best timber lands of the state.
! These lands are largely owned by lum-
bermen and they should develop the
timber thereon. To make the timber
growth and harvest of the state four
times as large as it now is would
greatly increase the annual produc-
ton of wealth in the state. Apparent
ly the lumbermen in the state should
in their own interests improve the
growth of timber on the good timber
lands of the state.
The state forester shows the folly
of removing sugar naples from land
that will not produce merchantable
timber and his warning should be
needed. His statement also shows
there is about million acres of nom
productive land in the state that
might be profitably planted to timber
trees.
The forester's statement presents
to the people of Vermont the oppor-
tunity of developing the wealth and
industry of the state in practical
and inexpensive way. 1t remains TO
be seen how generally they will ac-
cept the opportunity and begin the
construction of a bigger and better
lumber industry.

PROSPEROUS ORLEANS COUNTY

From an industrial standpoint prob
ably Orleans county never looked for
ward to such industrial expansion as
she now contemplates. just what Ell
feet the break in certain markets VIII
have upon these developments is not
known, but it is safe to say that
whatever adverses may come, they
will be only temporary, and that there
is a bright and prosperous future for
this county. One can speak with
more than general terms about the
situation for several of our centers
have developments in the progress
which augur well for industrial
growth.
Probably the largest single develop
ment is in Derby Line where quarter
of a million dollars is being expended
in a plant of the Butterfeld Co., on
the American side. This great plant
means the employment of several hum
dred men and the further growth of
that village, already one of the larg-
est in the county.
Probably the next largest single de-
velopment is in Barton where $685.
600 plant is being built for New
York concern which will add consider
ably to the industrial growth of Bar
ton. One or two other new indus
tries of a smaller nature but with I'M
limited future possibilities have also
begun business in Barton.
The Blair Veneer Company of
North Troy is spending thousands of
dollars in charging and developing
its business there. North Troy was
one of the most rapidly growing vii
lagos in the county in the past ten
years due largely to the expansion OF
mean future growth for North Troy.
Several concerns of smaller ma
ture are beginning business in New
port. No less than four small manu-
featuring concerns have already be-
gun business in Newport, or will be-
gin in the very near future, any one
of which holds prospects of very great
development. The aggregate of these
developments mean something al
ready and will mean more with each
months growth.
Orleans is already growing indus
trially. The Parker Young company
is advertising widely for help, and
several minor employees of labor have
a growing business which continually
places that enterprizing village to the
front.
Several places located from the
railroad are also experiencing some
industrial growth. Westfeld and
Lowell have new wood industries, and
several other places like Irasburg
have lumber industries.
Development and growth of sum-
mer business is almost forced upon
the county because of its many natu-
raj advantages. Alphabetically Or
leans county is well organized with
its Farm Bureau and Farmers ex-
change. Orleans county banks never
contained as much money as they now
hold, though loans are in demand be-
yond the ability of the banks to sup
ply Orleans county schools never
contained so many scholars.
From material standpoint Orleans
county is exceedingly prosperous with
every reason to expect great develop
nent in the years immed/ .tely ahead.

GOOD BOOKS AT

American Library Association
Urges Adoption of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL
California, the Pioneer-Other
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association.
in announcing it's Books for Every
BODY movement, which is to be nation
wide in its scope, advises and urges the
extension of the county library system
as solution of the problem of supply
ing good literature the rural dis
trtcts. Its intention is to persist in
advocating the nationwide adoption
Of the idea as successfully applied In
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one of the 1884 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments OF good books are
being made from the central point in
the county to the designated outposts
California stands out as the hfghpOint
in the successful application of the
idea OF the So counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system at a trif1ing cost. This it urges
as part Of it's enlarged program which
aims to promote a better citizenship
and to combat the social and Industrial
unrest through the teaching of Amer1-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside OF
the big cities will be called to the at
tention of those in position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of library
building and the stocking of its shelves.
In many cases the tools already exist.
From this central station books will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
TONS The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post of
fees, schoolhouses and private homes
When one shipment has been circulate
ed and returned another will be sent
out Also, in communities of any size
in the county, branch libraries will be
maintained
The American Library Association,
with it's 1000 active librarian mem
bers and it's 40 years of practical func-
tfoning, is in a position to know tho
needs of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge is a force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure Of 100000. There will
be no drive intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rians, library trustees and friends OF
Libraries. The movement for better
citizens and well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

union buying stock when farmers need
it for their farms and selling it when
the stock is ready for market The
cooperative insurance companies
write all the insurance the grow

union who actually own the stock of
the different organization get the
benefit of the dividends.
The prices at the cooperative
stores are only slightly less than the
ordinary store under private owner
ship. The elevator charges are prac-
tically the same as the commercial
elevators. But at the end of the year
the business is figured up and the
profits are then distributed. In some
cases it has been known that the divi-

been sufficient to reduce the cost of

KANSAS HAS GREAT COOPER
ALIVE ENTERPRISES

Kansas is the home of the largest
cooperative institution in the world,
and last year it transacted business
exceeding $150,OOO,OOO, every mem
Der drawing dividend. The institu-
tion handling this tremendous bust
ness is the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, which controls
more business enterprises in the State
than any other organization. A brief
glimpse at Kansas cooperative en-
terprises is given in Financial Amer
lea:
'EThe Grange, or Patrons of Hus-
bandry, have the oldest cooperative
stores and were the first to make
practical demonstrations of cooper
ative merchandising. The Grange
store at Olathe has been in successful
operation for more than forty years.
and has never had a year when it did
not pay a dividend to the members
of the organization who own the
store The Farmers Union is COM
parat1vely new organization, but it
has devoted its energies almost entire
-1y to the establishment of the cooper
satlve stores, elevator, and coa1-yards
throughout the central and western
stores, elevators, etc, the union also

parts of the State. In addition to the
sells insurance to it's members upon
a cooperative or mutual basis which
brings insurance to the farmers at
material reductions.
For some years there has been
effort made to get Kansas to author
ize the establishment of cooperative
banks to handle the money of the
members of the union. But the fear
that the looseness of the cooperative
system might tend toward looseness
in the States financial system has
kept the legislature from authorizing
these institutions.
There are now over four hundred
cooperative institutions in Kansas
operating under the Farmers Union
plan. These include the stores, eleva-
tors, stock-yards, coa1-yards and in
surance companies. Keith CIevenger
secretary and Maurice McAuliff, pres
ident of the State organization, have
shown in their annual reports that
every one of the cooperative institu-
tons is operated at a profit. Some
make more profits than others, due to
favorable locations and the merchan-
dising ability of the managers.
The cooperative stores furnish the
members of the unions food, clothing,
furniture, etc; it takes the wheat and
corn and handles it through the e1eva-
