NEW VOLCANIC CRATER
OPENS IN ITALY

Rome. Sept. "a volcanic crater has
suddenly opened at the top OF Pixzo
d'Ucello. a mountain 5,S45 feet high about
nine miles northeast of Spezia. II Is
located on what appears to be the north
west corner Of tho district shaken by
Tuesday mornings earthquake. which re-
suited in the loss Of hundreds Of lives in
the region Just north Of Florence. A tele-
gram from Spezia states the crater Is
emitting smoke and sulphurc fumes, and
that scientists there attribute the out
break TO the earthquake.
The shock which devastated scores of
little towns and villages north of Flor
once seems to have followed the line of
the mountains. This is common to earth
quakes in Italy. Scientists say that In
tervals Of years between uuakes represent
only minutes and seconds in geologic
time.
Reports from Northern Italy have given
no further details OF the situation. nor
have they told Of the damage done by
the tremor which shook the Emilia dis
trct. between the Apprentices and thu
River Pc yesterday morning. First re-
ports stated the shock was more severe
than that which destroyed Fivizzano and
other towns north OF Florence.

MANY SIGN UP
Farm bureau Membership Drive In Adj
olson Meets with Success

Mjddlebury, Sept. a-The campaign of
members in the Addison County Farm
Bureau has been started with great sue-
cess and enthusiasm. The town of Wey-
bridge has been canvassed and so per
cent of the farmers secured At a meet
ing of the Salisbury clubs last night %
farms were represented and 80 per cent
were signed up. The members are sign
Ing on permanent $40 per year basis
with the privilege Of withdrawal after the
first year This plan of membership
saves the great waste of time and energy
which would be necessary to canvass
every farmer in the county every year.
The reason for the increased fee is that
the farmers see the necessity of a strong
organization to tie up with the state
Federation and National Federation of
Farm Bureaus. They also realize that
during the past years the county agents
in Vermont have received salaries which
were less than they can receive in other
States The result has been that after a
leader has been with the organization
for year. learned the work and be-
come efficient he receives offers of higher
salaries in other places.
The work of the American Farm
Bureau Federation is attracting much
favorable comment The farmers real
ize as they never realized before the
need Of n strong national body to repre-
sent their interests.
All the old members are renewing
their membership and many more are
signing who were never farm bureau
members before.
