TOO MANY ORGANIZATIONS.

While the organization of the Yer
mont Seed Potato Growers associa-
tion at Randolph this week is COM
mendahle move there is question
whether or not Vermont farmers are
not starting too many organizations In
addition to this organization there are
in Vermont the Vermont State Maple
Sugarmakers association, the Vermont
State Dairymen' association, the
State Horticultural society, the Yer
mont Bee Keepers association, the New
England Milk Producers association,
several pure bred cattle associations and
local milk associations. Each asso-
citation has its fees, holds meetings and
requires considerable time of its live
members. Each organization is more
or less beneficial to its members and
tends to develop the particular branch
of the agricultural industry it is named
after. But a man cannot successfully
manage a farm and identify himself
with so many organizations.
In most instances these organizations
are more active in improving methods
of production than in the marketing of
standard products of the particular
branch of production.
There is no intention to discredit the
new organization of seed potato grow
ers. The organization undoubtedly viii
lead to more uniformity in production
and educate its members in the best
methods of culture and so forth. But
most potato growers are also dairymen
and sugar makers and there is question
if their interests might not be better
served by a combination of these three
state associations into one organization
devoted to the improvement of all three
state associations into one organization
devoted to the improvement of all three
branches of production. Could such an
organization be formed and cooperative
marketing of all these products effected
it would seem that it would be still
more beneficial to the farmers of the
state.

demands, for he has a safe and easy way
of squaring himself. All he needs to do
is to mark up selling values. The buyer
must pay if he takes the goods, and if
he doesn't, why, enough labor can be
released to get back to a working basis
until he will. The farmer deals in per-
ishables, does business on limited capital
and in selling meets a host of others fixed
the same way whom he must underbid.
That is the farmers market. 1t is here
his difficulty lies. BY association, cooper
alton or putting the marketing PROPOSE
tion into the hands of a syndicate he will
some day master it and be able to com
pete in the labor market as he should
Animosity toward other industries, on
which the farmer himself depends for his
sales, win not get him anywhere. If he
were to hamper them, he might improve
the farm labor situation, but at the ex-
pense of his selling values. The thing
to do is to organize the farming bust
ness as other businesses are organized.

Leaving Smaller Towns.
Barre Times.)

The figures of population in Caledonia
county are now available, showing an
unmistakable trend away from the
smaller towns into the larger communi-
ties and = at the same time, loss in
several OF the larger towns to other
towns in Vermont and to other states.
OF the seventeen towns all lost popula-
ton except four, the latter being St.
Johnsbury, Lyndonville, Kirby and
Wheelock.
Hardwick, one of the three large
towns in the county, experienced the
loss which seems to have been general
to granite centers of Vermont at least,
for Hardwiek dropped from 3,201 to
2,641, making the largest percentage
of decrease in the county The other
II towns which lost population de
creased in percentages of from 4 to 16
per cent But the loss of the county
as a whole was rather less than had
been expected, due of course, to the de-
velopment of st. Johnsbury and Lyn-
don.
If the other counties of the state
which had been expected to lose in the
census should maintain no greater loss
than Caledonia there would be no dam
ger of losing one of Vermont s two
congressman, for some of the counties
having large centers of population are
likely to show fairly good increases.

The Mortified News in advocating
the denomination of Congressman P. H.
Dale in the second Vermont congress
sional district says: F'Vermont is a
small state and gets an influence in
congress by keeping good men in of
fce.' True, but it is equally true that
Vermont has lost much influence in con-
gress by keeping mediocre men in con
gress for years and preventing more able
men from getting there. While Con-
gresham Dale has had six years ex-
perience in congress he is still in the
kindergarten grade of congressman and
Vermont to be influential in congress
must have a man there capable of more
progress. Then too the personnel of
the Vermont delegation to congress is
to be largely retained through the re-
election of Senator Dillingham; and Con-
gresham Greene and it would seem safe
to inject 25 per cent new blood in the
delegation by the nomination and cleo
ton of L. w. Gibson of Brattleboro.
Mr. Gibson is not stranger to Wash

half of the Vermont soldiers there, and
his friends confidently believe that he
would show much more progress and ex-
ert more influence for Vermont at the

One of the candidates for governor
having stressed the benefits certain to
flow in Vermont if his program for in
dustrial development is adopted, there
follows the usual comeback from sup
porters of other candidates claiming that
industrial development is not an unal-
loyed blessing. Some of the farmers are
heard from, to the effect that manu-
featuring plants paying a high scale of
wages and giving short hours tend to
draw help from the farm, lessen the far
mer's ability to produce and leave him
worse off than if there. were no such III
fluence. To a degree he is correct As
things now stand, the Vermont farmer
cannot secure sufficient help, at the
wages his returns permit him to pay
and with the attractions he can offer, to
turn off anything like the capacity of his
acreage. Some reason doubtless exists
for this other than the one so visible to
the farmer-that the industries are tax
ing the hired help from him by their bet
ter bids. He is not, or rather has not
yet placed himself, where he can to any
material degree control the markets in
which he sells. He takes what he can
get in the uncertain shuttle and out oil
it pays his expenses, including his help
and lives if he can. The manufacturer
who specializes, perhaps, and builds be

Tip Sam Is had twins
And razor backed sow,
Five dogs and mule
And an old roam cow;
A bone spawned FLY
And a one-room house,
And little wrinkled woman
Just as meek as a mouse.
Old Tip raised tobacco
And he trafficked in skins,
For he had seven sons
In addition to the twins;
And every mother s son,
And the little nanny, Jude,
Smoked a pipe all day
And the twins both chewed.
But Tip kept a-digging
And he never lost heart,
For the dogs hunted rabbits
And they caught 'em right smart,
And the bone-spavined FLY
And the mule pulled a pillow,
And they lived on the givings
OF the old roam COW,
And the acorn-fatted farrow
Of the razor back sow. r
But here the story closes
OF my little romance,
For the seven sons are sleeping
On the battlefelds of France;
But their daddy grows tobacco
And traffics still in skins,
And the little wrinkled nanny
Has another pair of twins.
