AGRICULTURAL AND
HOME AGENTS HOLD
ANNUAL MEETING

All county agricultural and home
demonstration agents and other agri.
cultural extension workers of Tenn.
essee held their sixth annual confer
ence at the University of Tennessee
November % to 81. In all, more
than 100 of these preachers" foi
better farming and better homes in
Tennessee were in attendance, A
A splendid program, including lee
lures, demonstrations and laboratory
work was carried out. Speakers
from the United States Department
Of Agricultural other University and
the teaching staff of the University
of Tennessee addressed the agents
giving them new ideas and a broad
err vision of their work which will no
doubt result in much benefit to the
farm people Of the State as the agent
will put many of the ideas into prac-
tice during the coming year.
The object of this annual confer
ence Is to bring the agents together
in a body, review the general pro-
gress of the work during the past
year and formulate plans of work
for the coming year, to familiarise
them with new methods and expert
mental discoveries, to discuss ques-
tions that affect the general welfare
of the work and to stimulate unity
of effort in carrying, out the program
of the Division of Extension for the
development of agriculture and rural
life Tennessee.
Reports from the agents from all
parts of the State indicate that 1920
has been most successful one for
the work. These reports show that
they have been of great service to
the farmers and the farm women in
many different ways. In performing
their duties they travelled thousands
of miles and reached in one way or
another half million people. They
distributed more than 100000 bull
letins of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Divis-
ion of Extension.
Thousands of farmers were in
flnuenced to improve their methods
of farming and to increase the fer
tility Of their farms, which resulted
in increased yields and profits. A
greater interest in purebred livestock
especially in purebred sires, was
created and result in purebred re-
placing the scrub in scores of coun-
ties. They also helped the farmers
to market comparatively thousands
of dollars worth of farm products at
better prices than they would have
received otherwise.
Some of the more noticeable eff
fects on farmers, homes and family
as resulting from the work of the
agents, is the building of better
homes and barns; breeding of better
livestock; attendance at fairs, short
courses and farmers conventions
taking of more papers and magazines
purchasing of automobiles, improving
roads, installing water and light sys
TENS and other modern convenience
in the home, and the providing o.

While in Knoxville several socia
events were held for the visiting
agents. On Monday night they were
entertained at Tennessee Hall by thu

The advice of the Massachusetts, de-
partment of agriculture to the people
OF that state to plant home gardens
applies with equal force to the people
OF Vermont; there never was more
need to raise all the garden stuff pos
sible. If the present high prices OF
food products and all other articles
entering into the necessaries of life
are to be reduced there must be vastly
accelerated production throughout the
United States and throughout the en-
tire world. Production must be speed
ell up as never before. That will fur
nish the remedy for many OF the ills
now besetting the people.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Good Selection

In naming Fred A. Rowland OF Mont
pelier to succeed James Hardness OF
Springfield, on the state board OF edu-
cation, Governor Clement has made
most excellent selection. Mr. Rowland
is one of the most public spirited men
in Vermont and has a keen and intel
ligent interest In state matters. He Is
eminently fitted to be a member OF
the states central board on education
matters and may be depended upon to
be a constructive member Of the board.
Mr.. Hartness has plso been valu-
able member of the board, whose res
ignation will be regretted but mas
much as she has thrown himself into
the goyernorship campaign there can
be nothing but communication for has
disinterested decision to remove him
self from this position, Mr.. Hartness
would be the last man to try to utilize
membership on the board for politlca
ends. but he was not content with this.
He conceived it his duty to remove
the board from any and all suspicion. 1t
was a high-minded act, but only what

That "made in Germany" postcards
should be sold at Mount Vernon-o all
places Mount Vernon-was a discovery
not at all pleasing to the delegates to
the congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution recently in ses-
sion in Washington. Nor is it any
more pleasing to the people OF the
United States. Before the war made
in Germany" postcards were the com
mon thing throughout the United
States and nothing was thought about
il except that American commercial
genius was surely hating to permit
made in Germany" to go on goods OF
that nature. During the war the made
in Germany" postcards disappeared
mysteriously. Apparently, the large
stock on hand is being brought out al
this time in the expectation that the
stamp will not arouse the ire of Amer
leans. The psychological time fol
foisting that trade mark on the Amer
lean public has not yet arrived.

hard hit by the change of train sched-
ules in order to conform with the adj
yanced time of the Boston q Maine
railroad which, in turn, was brought
about by the adoption OF the dayiight
saving law in Massachusetts,. Always
handicapped by the early departure OF
trains going in two directions, The
Times is put to very great incon-
venience by the setting ahead OF the
train schedules an hour on the Mont
pelier & Wells River and the Central
Vermont railroads. The change neces-
states the closing up of the last form
for press as early as l2:40 in order to
allow time for the stereotyping process
required by The Times big press And
even then il would not be possible for
this paper to catch the Montpelier 4
Wells River train if we did not trans
port the papers by automobile to Mont
pelier or to East Montpelier, as we
have done since the train service on
the Barre branch of the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad was discontinued
under the railroad administration. 1t
is a fast scramble every day in order
to give our readers on these routes the
live news each day. We are continuing
in the hope and expectation that the
train service will be restored on the
Barre branch of the Montpelier q
Wells River railroad so that this
serious handicap to newspaper making
will be eliminated.

The exact amount willed by the late
Theodore y. Vail to the Lyndon insti-
tnte. over which o. D. Mathewson is
principal, Is not apparent from the
reading Of the newspaper reports of the
will. which was filed at st. Johnsbury
for probate: in fact, may not be known
until the real estate in Caledonia eoun-
tv is diverted into cash or is valued ac-
cording to income. for the stipulation
Of the will is that "sll Of my real estate
in the county Of Caledonia and state Of
Vermont shall be used for the insti-
tute. and in addition to that a specified
sum for the development Of the institu-
tion as training school for girls in
such domestic science, home economics
and manual training as are particular
ly adapted to the requirements Of rur-
al conditions and farm life" Il Is
probable. however. that the amount is
large because Of the known value Of
much Of Mr.. Wallis real estate holdings
in Caledonia county and also because
Mr.. Vail was too good a business man
not TO make ample provision for main
tanning the school on the plane which
be apparently had planned. The en-
dovmsnt is expected to place Lyndon
institute On a coed financial fcunda
ticn.
