SHORT APPLE CROP.
Not Over 90 Per Cent of Average in
This Section.

The apple crop in Brattleboro and
surrounding towns in Windham coun-
ty is a disappointment in that prob
ably not over the 60 per cent of an
average year is in evidence During
the season a severe hail and windstorm
did an immense amount of damage to
the growing apples. Many were blown
from the trees in an immature state ana
large number of those that remained
on the branches were badly pitted by
the large hail stones which were driven
by terrific wind. Some orchards, where
the hail was most severe have not pro
duced more than quarter of the aver
age crop and probably not more than
% per cent of this crop is strictly first
class The orchards of Z. l.. Hildreth
and F.. b. Barrows, which are the most
extensive of any in town and are
located on Ames hill, were both seriously
injured. The curtaiIment of the ap-
pie crop means a serious reduction in
the income of many of Windham coun
ty 5 farmers

RAILROADS SKIMP REPAIRS.
Able to Show Better Earnings During
August as Result

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1O.-Basing the
conclusion upon practically complete re-
ports of business on main line railroads
during August, the Association of Rail
way executives announced yesterday that
indicated betterment in earnings of the
countrys transportation system has so
far been due to skimping of expenditures
on maintenance work both on roadbeds
and equipment.
Mainly by virtue of this reduction
which represents in large measure the
failure to eXpend money which must later
be put into the properties" the state
ment asserted: The railroads in August
of this year were able 10 show net OPP
Grating income of 800 100000. Had
they spent the same amount for main
tenance during that month that they
spent for the same purpose in August,
1920. they would have had this August
an operating deficit of $50. 5000
Total expenditures by class l railroads
for August. 1921. on maintenance. the
statement estimated at 1872. 200 900, or
43 per cent less than maintenance ex-
penditures of August 1920.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1O.-The Giants de-
feated the Yankees yesterday afternoon,

season series for the worlds champion
ship in baseball, and the series now stands
two to two. The battle will continue

many considered the best one thus far in
the series. in that it was grand battle :;
one in which the winning club came from
behind in one grand assault near the
close of the struggle, and that Babe Ruth,
who was not expected to be able to play
at ALL got into the game, and made a
home run, something that the fans the
world over have been waiting for him to

day.

eighth inning, when the Giants launched

SCORE 14-12 IN
DRILLING RAIN
Brattleboro Leads in First Half, but
Academy Boys Forge Ahead in Third
Quarter - b. III. ;. ROoters Help
Locals Make Final Touchdown.

In one of its most thrilling football
games in recent years the Brattleboro
high school football team, on Saturday
afternoon in. drizzling rain, nosed out
the Vermont academy huskies at Saxtons
River by a 14-to-12 score.
On their own grounds the Vermont
academy boys showed some real football,
and kept the local lads guessing. The
b. H. S boys played great football in the
first six minutes of play and the last five,
but the time between was all Vermont
academys as Stolte's team marred its
play by frequent disastrous fumbles.
BrattIebOro kicked off to V. A, and
after two plays which failed to make
gains one of the B. H. $. players in
tercepted pass and secured the ball for
B. H S. Then Nixon, Moran and Rob
bins carried the ball to V. AS 10-yard
line, and Manley received a pass for a
touchdown Moran kicked the goal, CIV
ing the Brattleboro team 10 start.
Then the trouble began. Vermont
academy received the ball on the kickoff,
and by q clever combination of end runs
and passes carried the ball down the
field to BrattleborO's 10-yard line. Here
BrattlehorO's defense frightened for two
downs, and then StrOut got through for
a touchdown. Stickney failed to kick
the goal.
After zigzagging back and forth for
the rest of the quarter, the half ended
with the score to 6 in favor of b, II. s.
To open the third period V. 4. kicked
to Brattleboro, who lost the ball on
downs A. fumbled and Brattleboro
recovered. Robbins punted, and after
exchange on fumbles the third period
ended with the ball in VermOnt's pos
session.
Then the academy team started an
other steady advance, which ended with
the ball over Brattleboro's goal line, and
the score y to Z in favor of-V. 4.
At this juncture the BrattlebOro root
ers, of whom there were about DO at the
game came out of their ears and gave
some real cheers for the team that looked
down and out. The rooterSj yells made
the Vermont academy ssBBeEters' cheers
seem as quiet as a country graveyard by
contrast.
Then things began to happen. with six
minutes to play. With a smash, Stolte'S
fighters were off. Moran tore off 30
yards in a twisting. lodging end run with
everyone on the V. 4. team getting his

AVIATOR FALLS 400 FEET.
Attempt to Pass From One AirpIane to
Another Entail

REGINA, Sask., Oct. 1O-While at
tempting to pass from one airplane to
another in midair by means of a rope
ladder, Lloyd Reese of New York lost
his grip and fell 400 feet to his death
Saturday. Thousands saw him as he
stood on the upper wing of an airplane
and reached for the rope ladder dangling
from another airplane flying overhead.
As he swung clear of the lower airplane
his hand slipped on the ladders rung
and he failed to recover himself, Reese
had accomplished the stunt several times
in public exhibitions.

He's a skinny little sawed-of that

The while he works on steadily all day

But never struts around and brags
about his public spirit.
The paper puffs the bankers and the

But never calls Lie prominent or says
he's influential.
He doesn't set up on the stage in dull
and pompous glory,
A-gettin' off well-chosen words and
flights of oratory
in fact, Lie doesn't do a thing but
hustle like the dickens
To raise the best tomatoes and the finest
latest chickens.
And keep his folks in comfort and give
his kids their schooling,
And paints his house up and so forth.
He has no time for fooling.
His wife thinks Lie is mighty smart
his children love their pappy,
And in their home just over there Lie

severely punished by the conditions that have overtaken agriculture; and they should be the very. first to see the wisdom, the necessity indeed, for a radical alteration of methods. The farmers of the hill sections, who have produced their living at home, though affected as all have been by the gen eral depression, are yet in an i'm pregnable position. Upon the low plane of selfishness their course has been the wisest, but 1t has also served the purpose of Tightening the burden for their neighbors to the widest limits.
 It is suggested that some banks will continue to finance cotton grow CTS and that no limitations will be placed upon their demands by their correspondent banks in the centers. If this be true, then the banks will by such course go a long way in
 f
 confirming an opinion concerning them, which we have never shared, to the effect that their sole motive is selfish one. As a matter of fact, the adoption of diversifcation is largely dependent upon the banks; it would scarcely be saying too much to affirm fiatly that they can them selves effect it's almost universal ap- plication An example has been set them by MT. Highs bank at Tupelo, Miss, Lee county being conspicuous for its prcatice of diversified farm ing.
 When pestilence approaches quarantine is established to ward it off; but the south was blinded by the passion for gain, to the approach of the disaster that has overtaken 1t.

FATALLY BENT ON MISCHIEF

Already we are hearing of plant CTS who are cultivating swamp lands, who are doggedly proposing to ig- nore the public demand for universal practice of diversified agriculture. And the familiar claim is being made that such lands are not adapted to diversitication, to which is added the affirmation that plans are being made to produce the next crop of cotton at extremely low cost. Those who are proposing to follow such course at this time are, in our opinion. fatally bent on mischief.
 We shall not attempt to deny that this is free country and that one has right to cultivate his land in any kind of crops that he chooses; he may even raise hell on his place, within limits, as men formerly did in the west; but the right to do so is theoretical right at best, and it is always subject to the superior rights of the community as whole. These latter may not be found crys- talized in statutes enforcible by the courts, but there are many ways in which the will of the public may be applied And we warn gentlemen that public opinion is in no temper to be trihed with at this time.
 The occupants of swamp lands are the cultivators who have been most
