YOUR BEST INVESTMENT

Absolute safety is the prime requis-
ite governing State officials who have
charge Of investing the public funds
of Vermont. Whatever other eonsid-
Grafton may come up, safety Of prin-
cipal stands first. That is why the
purchase Of a 81 1000 United States
Treasury Savings Certificate by the
State Treasurer this week is worthy
Of consideration by every man, woman
and child in the Green Mountain State
who has a dollar-or even a quarter
to invest and wants to put il where he
can be sure Of securing it again when
he needs il, for that individual has the
same opportunity TO entrust his cash
to "Unele Sam" as did the State
Treasurer. OF course, one cannot
purchase a Treasury Savings Certif-
cate for twenty-five cents because the
new $25 denomination is the lowest,
but one may buy Thrift Stamp for a
quarter, Treasury Savings Stamp
for 81, War Savings Stamp for $4.16
Gin May) and he will have the full
strength Of the Treasury behind his
investment just as much as the man
who buys a $1,000 Treasury Certif-
cate. The quarter Thrift Stamp does
not draw interest, neither does the 81
Stamp, but they have been found the
most convenient method Of accumulat-
ing enough to purchase a War Saw
ings Stamp or one Of the certificates,
which do pay fair interest and may be
redeemed on a few days notice. CAS-
strong as the United States Treasury"
is a familiar and very significant ex-
preston.

GOOD ROADS

II is accurate, and entirely fair, 10
claim "Good roads through Manches-
ter TO all points everywhere" as any
100 miles of Vermont country roads,
will compare favorably with any 100
miles Of country roads anywhere, in
the United States, and in fine weather,
as in summer, they are very fine any
how. This is further borne out by
the constant statement, to the same
effect, by the better class OF tourist.
As for Vermont dust, it is pretty
much the same as dust anywhere, and
a great improvement over the alkali
and sand storms Of elsewhere.

PROSPECTS or A GOOD APPLE
CROP IN WESTERN VERMONT
Trees Minierod Wei and Blossomed
Pull says Prof NJ. B. Cummings Of
the State Agricultural College.

Burlington. May I9-The indiea.
tions are that there will be q good
crop of apples in Vermont this year
For the most part, the trees were well
budded last fan, they have wintered
veil owing 70 the mild weather, and
have bloaaomed vel, so the crop will
be good one If favorable weather
continues. This makes q very good
outlook for Vermont apple growers.
Despite the warm weather in the early
spring. the fruit trees in Nermnot
we're not sufficiently advanced 10 be
injured by more recent late frosts.
Moreover, many Of the large orchards
IN Vermont are on high. rather than
low land, and thus we're immune to
late frost because Of their location.
In recent travel trip through
Grand Isle County, Prof. NJ. b. Cum
mings. Of the State Agricultural Col
lege, was gratifed TO find the trees
blossoming so well. With very few
exceptions, the orchards IN Grand Isle
were just passing the full bloom peri
od, and according to certain observa-
tions and reports Of local growers the
weather. although a little cool, has
been almost ideal throughout the bios
soming period. In most places, there
were many bees pollinating the bios
SONS.
Spraying will be Of prime import
ance this year. With greatly dimin-
ished fruit crops in many parts Of the
country, il would seem that apple
prices for this coming season would be
unusually good. This being so, orch
ardists should see that very thorough
and proper spraying is done to insure
good quality Of fruit which may de-
mand a high price next fall The
after-blossom spray, aimed especially
at the control Of the codling moth, or
common apple worm, and the apple
scab, the arch enemy Of the apple, is
imperative. In general orchard trees
should be sprayed within ten days Of
the time that the blossoms fall. The
preferred solution Is the LIQUID lime
sulphur, used AT the rate Of one gallon
to 30 gallons Of water, the same be-
ing reinforced with arsenate Of lead
in powdered form at the rate of 2
pounds to 40 gallons Of diluted spray.
II Is important to have high pressure,
and TO do thorough work.
Spraying Is Of utmost Importance.
One may question whether he would
fertilize with commercials, whether he1
would prune much or little, whether
he would practice grass mulch or clean
culture but there is no question says
Prof. Cummings, as TO whether or not
it pays 10 spray Nothing so much |
influences the quality Of fruit and its
value as spraying.
