Hoeing Corn in Vermont.


When witchgrass gets to sassing you,
There amt no other thing to do
But Jest to say with singing seorn,
'Ill kill you when hoe the corn;
The witchgrass hears your threat and
shoots
The cornfield full of extry roots;
You get your hoe and thus begins
The fight that neither never wins.
Of course, the tools play quite part
In hoeing, as in every art;
A hoe with Jest the proper hang
Is worth its weight in mousse mer-
ingue;
It ought to balance, rightly made,
About foot this side the blade;
You'll never use it, let us hope,
To stir a mortar bed or soap,
The corn, well say, is three weeks
high,
The weather hot, the sidehill dry;
You've got to get right at it quick,
When, shucks the hired man takes
sick;
There's only you and little Joe,
The townfarm boy you took, to hoe,
Which means your ribs must stand
the shock
When that old cornplow jams rock.
That night it comes to you that Drew,
Down Winhall way, is 'peppered, too;
You've heard he hoes. year in and out,
A hundred days or thereabout;
If you could Jest change works with
him
The hired man might sink or swim;
Yes; Drew viii change; he sends you
word
He'll be there Monday, June the third.
He's there on time and brings his hoe,
And starts to take the outside row;
That's pretty tough" you say; 'All
right"
Says Drew, "iest kinder keep in sight; .
Hold on" you cry, we've got to kill
This stuff by lingering every hills"
That's Jest my rule; I've heard, /
s'pose.
That hands was made ahead of hoes. ="
You're SO surprised at help like that
Your hair most pushes off your hat;
You hoe along and soon, says Drew,
How many stalks per hill with youy"

That's me exactly" Drew replies

The witcbgrass Wits and plays its

And. as for church belief, you find
You both are Advent way inclined.

a letter today from Superintendent A.

East Grand Forks.
Mi. Dana visited this city recently
looking over conditions here for this
crop, and at that time he expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
prospects. The soil here is particu-
larly adapted for the growing of the
sugar beet, which in many localities
has proved a fine paying crop.
In the communication to Mr.. Sulli-
van, Mr.. Dana expressed hts willing
hess to cooperate with the local bust
ness men in fostering interest among
the farmers, and giving necessary in
formation for the successful growing
Of the sugar beet. The Commercial
club of East Grand Forks plans on
starting an educational campaign on
the growing Of the sugar beet about

will address Polk county farmers on
this subject.
Several farmers between East Grand
Forks and Crookston have already be-
gun to raise this crop IN a small way
and their efforts have proved highly
successful, it was said. Many car
loads OF beets have been shipped this
year to the refinery in Chasisa from
| this vicinity.
