Agriculture in Vermont.

The impression outside the state is
! that Vermont is more or less a difficult
| place in which to farm. George AIDE
summed up this impression when he
wrote that the two chief industries
were quarrying and farming and that
it was hard TO tell where one began
and the other left off.
This Is, of course, an entirely wrong
view OF Vermont as an agricultural
state. We have been blessed with very
fertile soil. II is true that few farms
have been located in almost impos
sible places and never have been very
successful. A wise moving from such
as these has led to the phrase, "de-
serted farms
II anyone doubts the possibilities in
the state let him glance over the crop
report published elsewhere in this is
sue. SO far as corn is concerned only
three states report a larger yield per
acre than Vermont and our value per
acre is almost three times that report
ed for the other states in the union.
Only four states report a larger yield
per acre in oats; five states larger
yield per acre in barley, and our value
was nearly twice that of the United
States; only one state has larger
yield per acre in buckwheat; our spring
wheat yield is exceeded by only two
states, and those in the irrigated see
tions of the West, our yield and value
being more than twice the rest OF the
United States; while in potatoes our
yield is exceeded by only one state
east of the Rocky mountains, and in
hay no state east of the Mississippi
exceeded Vermont's yield per acre.
These figures do not uphold the inn
preston that we are bleak and bar
rem community. They do reveal a
kindly blessing on the part of nature
and good farming on the part Of our
farmers. Vermont is rich in agricultur-
al possibilities, and We have a pros
porous countryside. Those who dwell
in cities and desire to obey that i'm
pulse to return TO the farm would do

bilities before deciding TO 60 else

rest on political geography, their abil-

the case. Then. there is the military
appeal, in which military popularity
