FARMERS TAKE HEED.

The president and secretary of the
New York federation of agriculture
have sent a telegram to commissioner
of public markets of New York city
saying in effect that the apple growers
Of that state have large quantities of
apples ready to ship to the city mar
ket but are offered only one cent
pound. or $3.50 a barrel, and that con-
sumers are charged % cents a pound
for the same apples. The head of the
New York Retail Grocers' association
says the apples are sold at 10 cents
a pound at retail. Even this shows a
tremendous increase in price after the
apples have left the grower.
But the head of the grocers added
that the eating apples come from the
West and are sold on a margin of about
one cent an apple The margin is less
on this class of fruit, he said, because
there is virtually no waste, as all this
western fruit is standardized. In
this state the apples on top are almost
invariably superior in quality to those
on the lower layers.
The sentence in quotations is very
severe arraignment of the New York
apple growers. Apparently they are
attempting to secure prices of honest
fruit for dishonest fruit, something
that cannot be worked but once on a
dealer Note also that he says there
is virtually no waste on western fruit
because it is all standardized. This
is evidence that the New York fedora
ton of agriculture is not performing
its whole duty to the farmers of the
state 1t is not instructing them in
proper marketing methods.
We believe this is too generally true.
Vermont has its organizations of farm
ers but it has very few farmers or
CARNATIONS that are educating their
members in marketing or preparing
their products for the markets. The
result is that few dishonest farmers
who force, dishonesty sorted goods on
buyers damage the price of the whole
product These facts lead to repeti-
ton of the suggestion that the farmers
must cooperate in marketing their
goods and must guarantee their goods
are uniform in quality and honestly
standardized. Honesty is the best pol
icy on the farm as well as elsewhere

D1saRAcEFUL OPPOSITION.

Thirty-seven members of the house
of representatives of Tennessee, 27
Democrats and 10 Republicans, admit
in a public statement they are outside
their state for the purpose of break
ing quorum in the house to prevent
the passage of the resolution to ratify
the suffrage amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States" They add,
q We felt that to have ratified said
amendment would have been to sur
render the sovereign rights of the state
on the question of suffrage, which is
one of the most important and sacred
rights conferred.
One would not have been surprised
to see such sentiments bear the date
line of Rutland or Montpelier instead
of Decatur, Alabama, where the delin-
quents are staying. The sentiments are
so similar to those of the governor of
Vermont who is sticking around home
to prevent action by the state legisla-
ture while these men are staying out
of their state in an attempt to hold up

The Ballad of the vermont Calf.

Two spinsters had a hired man
Whose air was somewhat chesty;
He also wore a temperament
At times a trihe testy;
These maidens run little farm
Around old Fortress Drummer,
And sold their veals and garden truck
In Brattletown with middling luck
The time was early summer.
That hired man was Bigelow Buck,
His whiskerettes were fossy,
And thus one day right up he spoke
About a week-old bossy:
"To learn that calf to drink would take
A pump and spout and plumber;
| shan't stand there with thumb a-stuck
Inside his mouth for him to suck
No more than half the summer
They took that hired man aside
And tried to tell him reason:
THAT bossy calf was born" said they,
"A little out of season;
He's not as strong as though he'd been
A March or April conner
''That imports not" said Bigelow Buck,
Hell get no thumb of mine to suck
The latter part of summer"
Were maiden ladies', sir, you know;
We're maiden ladies truly,
BE gentle with us and our calf
And Wen reward you duly"
can right, I'll get you husbands, then;
III be a husband drummer,
For by my beard, it's time to duck
when calves expect thumb to suck
| For more than half the summer"
The Calling never learned to drink
| As they. who owned, desired him,
And as for Mr.. Hired Man,
| The spinster sisters fired him;
They couldn't find another man.
! They both got Rlum and GUNNER.
i Their useless farm thev had to chuck
! And use the proceeds-dam the luck
To keep EN- through the summer.
And so yon see how much depends
| On calves opposed to drinking;
This instance broke a business up
| And set two maids to thinking;
So. ladies. when you hire hand
Reject a husky hummer
For one who'll stand with thumb a-suek
For half or all a summer

Labor Day sees the vacation season
practically at an end and two of the
pleasantest months of the year, Sep
TENDER and October, do not figure as
vacation months As the Hartford
Courant says, Fthe argument common
" made against leisure in these two
months is that the children must be
home for the opening of school and
with that reasoning many are so sat
isfed that they do not realize that
nothing in nature has fixed the first
week of September as the time at which
all schools must open. The heart of
the world would not be broken if they
remained in session four weeks longer
in early summer to open, say. about
October l, which plan would give the
children and their parents wonderful
time of year for play" This is along
the line of daylight saving. You just
turn the vacation season along a month
and save some of the finest weather.
