Vacations on the Farms.

II would be good thing for the
country, and good thing for the men
Immediately affected, If considerable
number of city men, college students
and others should respond to the ur-
gent appeal which Secretary Mere
dith of the department OF agriculture
has made to them to spend their vaca'
tions working on farms, especially as
helpers in harvest fields.
The shortage of farm labor, in spite
Of the increase of from 10 to 20 per
cent in farm wages, is now nearly as
great as it was two years ago, when
large numbers of men were in the mill
tary service; and the situation is &C
t,lallv worse than it was one year
ago. Then the departments reports
showed a labor supply about - per
cent of normal; now it is only ~ per
cent. Unless this situation OF affairs
is somehow relieved, il means fields ~
ing waste. crops ungathered, and a
corresponding diminution of agrieul
tural products which are sorely need
ed. That, in turn, means high prices
for thes products, and hsrdships Tor
eitv popufatious. According to Secre-
tarv Meredith. cultivation generally
will be less intensive than formerly
more land will be put 10 grass and such
other crops as require minimum OF
labor. The farmer in need OF more
labor is unable to compete with the
attractions of city employments. with
their shorter hours, higher wages and
social opportunities; but, although the
secretary realizes that the vacation
city labor, for which he now appeals
( is not as efficient as experienced farm
labor he recalls with satisfaction the
excellent results achieved in l9ls, when
CITY men in large numbers aided the
farmers and he anticipates like results
If similar response is made to ms
present appeal. :.
A definite announcement regarding
work along this line il promised soon
Until other provision is made, all per
sons interested in finding work on
farms arc asked 10 write 10 the d.
rectors Of agricultural extension at the
| agricultural colleges in the various
I states. These directors will be pre-
pared to supply the names Of county
agents having farmers IN their respec
/ tive counties who need farm labor
Young men who, IN response TO this
appeal. conclude to spend their vaca
tions on the farms. may feel that they
are rendering a patriotic service. Ih'
reports of the department indicate that

The Price of Sugar.

Attorney General Palmer's ruling
fixing the margin Of profit on sugar at
one cent for wholesalers and two cents
for retailers hardly makes sufficient al
lcwance for the difference in the condi-
lions of wholesale and retail trade. 1t
is possible to fix the margin so low
that small stores will refuse to handle
the commodity. II retailer pays
20ts cents pound for sugar, he will
have 3 margin Of not quite 10 per cent
out Of which to pay freight charges
and all the costs of his business.
In the old DAYS sugar costing from
TO 4.25 cents per pound was ordi-
nsrily sold at FIVE cents; in any event,
the margin Of profit (which, of course,
is not net profit was seldom less than
IL per cent. Now. when a relatively
large amount Of capital is needed to
put substantial quantity Of sugar at
the disposal Of the public, hardly 10 per
cent is allowed-for il dealer pays
in excess of % cents, he will receive,
under the attorney generals ruling,
less than 10 per cent. John A. Green,
member of the service bureau OF the
American sugar refining company, said
in this city last week that the whole
saler's margin should be fixed AZ one
| cent pound and the retailers at
three. That was a fair and feasible
suggestion. While sugar is ordinarily
sold at the smallest margin of all food
stuffs. il is proper that it should pay
its share of the whole cost of doing
| business.
As to the fairness Of the price which
] the refiners are now asking. the public
has no means Of determining. But, as
/ the government and the refiners are CO.
operating, il is safe TO assume that the
price is considered fair The offensive
feature Of the situation Is the specula
/ tive buying. And the refiners-at
/ least those Of Massachusetts-are en-
/ deavoring to carry out the govern
ment's request that sugar shall reach
the consumer on the most direct way.
The Revere refinery has recently
warned il customers that il will "feel
/ justified in excluding from participa-
| ton in future allOtments any Gus
toner who has sold our sugars TO spec

the name of any person of their choice
for president in TIE preference primary
to be held in Vermont tomorrow. As
far as the Democratic side is concerned
there will be no names printed as can
didates on the official ballot, while on
the Republican side there will be only
two candidates, William Grant Web
ster of New York and Major General
Leonard Wood. Few will register their
choice for Webster for president unless
they be misled by the glamor of a
great name once prominent in Ameri-
can history, the name Of Daniel Web
ster. The Webster of the Vermont bal
LOT is absolutely unknown and may be
considered an eccentric candidate mas
much as be is by no means national
figure and is not considered as q posi-
bility before the Republican convention
in Chicago. About all that is known OF
this Webster il that he is a member OF
the legal profession in New York. The
other candidate whose name appears on
yermont's ballot, Major General Wood,
does not appeal to all as the best tim
Der for president, although there are
some who honestly believe that Wood
is of presidential calibre. To those who
cannot support Wood so long as there
il any chance of securing some other
more acceptable person there is the OPP
portunity of writing in the name OF
some other candidate--Hoover of Cali
fornia, Coolidge of Massachusetts,,
johnson of California, Harding of Ohio,
Poindexter of Washington or some 9th
e. of the persons less prominently be-
fore the country to-day. 1t is one OF
the virtues of this presidential primary

tween the hours of IL o'clock, noon

The proposed central teacher training
school for Vermont ought to be located
in some community where there will be
ample opportunity to study practical
methods of school supervision and in
struction inasmuch as the teacher train
ing institution promises to be attended
by a large number of young men and
young women. Such a school demands
the best opportunity for observation in
the public school system That being
the case, Barre offers splendid induce
ments for the location of the teacher
training institution Here in Barre the
prospective teachers would have a fine
chance to observe public school work
under q system which, admittedly by
all, is high. Moreover, Barre offers the
further advantage of being centrally To-
Gated and easy OF access from all parts
Of the state. In making the survey OF
the state for location of the school,
the committee should take cognizance

its tremendous weight into the scales
in favor of open diplomacy. By open
Diplomacy is not meant necessarily
public discussion; the more publicity
the better. but it may be granted that
there are times for the frankness OF
private talk. But the essential thing
is to have the parties concerned nego-
tiating face to face and not behind each
Others backs in the fashion which d.
plomacy has hitherto followed.
To bring about so momentous
change it was necessary TO devise new
machinery and this is provided in the
league of nations, but only on condi-
ton that the league is adequately sup
ported. While the United States holds
aloof the league cannot function IN any
true sense. and can only be kept alive
in hope of better day.
Just this, in fact, is being urged by
the supporters of Lloyd George in de
Tending him against the charge OF ig-
noring the league. The Daily Chron-
icle. which is his special organ, credits
him with the view that with the league
in it's present weak condition, ''to pro
nose to il now such tasks as the SUI
preme council had to deal with at San
Reno and will have to deal with at
Spa would be to throw upon II now
burdens which it has not strength to
carry and mass of prejudice that
would poison its future work
Whatever may be the private atti-
tude of Lloyd George toward the lea =
que, a matter Of sharp controversy IN
England just now, he is able quite
plausibly to ignore the league SO lar as
the most important issues are con
eerned on the ground that the refusal OF
America to cooperate leaves the new
organization too weak. And TINS III
turn leaves secret diplomacy in posses =
sion OF the field at the point where It
can do most harm.
Intrigues with and about the rot
ting Turkish empire poisoned the po-
litical life of Europe in the l9th cen
fury and prepared the way for the
great war. Many observers believe that
| II war had not broken out in 1914 IN
the near East il would have broken
out a few years later in the middle
East - the precise field in which di-
nlomacv is now at work in the manner
which has bred so many wars IN the
mast. This outcome Is an unmitigat
ed disaster, and responsibility for II
must in great part be put upon the
treaty wreckers in this country

CURRENT COMMENT
A Canadian Minister to u. S.

A minister plenipotentiary from Can
ada to the United States will be ap-
pointed during the coming summer, ac-
cording to announcement yesterday
from Ottawa, Great Britain having de-
cided to place her Canadian relations
with the United States completely in
the hands of Canada.
This radical departure from Britain S
policy in the matter of her colonies will
doubtless bring forth storm of pro-
tests from the anti British elements in
America, but considering the increasing
Importance of our own interests in
Canada and vice versa, this new step
would seem TO be an excellent thing.
Whether or not America viii follow the
lead and send minister to Ottawa
remains to be seen.
There is no doubt but that much
more expeditions dispatch of business
of whatever kind, between Canada and
America, will be able TO be accom-
first hand knowledge of Canadian con
ditions which a Canadian minister
would be supposed to have would tend
to promote a better understanding be-
tween the two countries in the event
of disputes or misunderstanding which
might arise. Because of the close rela-
tions which have always existed, the
formal announcement says sit is conf
IDENTIFY expected that this new step will
have the very desirable result of main
tanning and strengthening the friendly
relations and cooperation between the
British empire and the United States.
And, so far as we can see, there is No
valid reason why this expectation
should not be FULFILLED. - Burlington
