The Farmer and the Depression.
(Middlebury Register).

In an address before the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace stated that the
United States is passing through the
most severe agricultural depression
in it's history. Most farmers will
probably endorse the secretary's
statement with loud voices.
The condition that has gradually
undermined agriculture is the abnor-
mally low price of the major farm
crops. This condition has resulted in
corresponding decreased production,
SO that the time is coming when the
consumers price will be so high that
the city family will have reason to
complain bitterly.
The secretary quite properly refers
to farming as the pyramid of Amer
lean life and more properly invokes
the aid Of the country to help agri-
culture through the critical period
with the least possible damage. While
perhaps the Vermont farmers have
not felt the depression so completely
as the Western farmer, because he
has not specialized to such an extent
in the production of the major farm
crops. at the same time the farmers
right on the fertile falfeys of the
Green hills are in need of little en-
couragement just at the time.

Corn and Wheat for Russia.
(Brattleboro Refo-mer)


One of the symptoms of return to
normality is that the American peo-
pie are now plying the Russians in
stead Of abusing them. Lenine is
still sovieting, but our people are
forgetting about Lenine in the con-
temptation of the great tragedy re-
presented by the starving of many
million people-human beings like
ourselves-over a vast area. Lenine,
with all his sins, is not responsible
for that famine. And to give the
Devil his due, his government seems
to be doing its poor best to relieve
the suffering.
There has been a ready response
on the part of the American public
to President Harding's proposal that
public funds be used to send 10000
900 bushels of corn and 100000
bushels Of seed wheat to the famine
region. That is only about half as
much as was asked for by former
Gov. Goodrich of Indiana, who made
a survey of the Volga district for
Secretary Hoover. Congress surely
cannot neglect this modest request.
Prompt action is more important than
the quantity given-he gives twice
who gives quickly.

Good Roads Sell Vermont Farms.
Barre Times)

1t is rather disquieting information
that Vermont town has felt itself
obliged to discontinue more. than a
dozen roads, which have been public
highways for varying lengths of
time, because of the necessity of re-
ducing the road expenses of the town.
Explanation is made that these roads
have been practically unused for
some time and that the upkeep of
them serves no immediate purpose.
Without doubt that explanation
means that there are many deserted
farms on the roads in question and
that the property is reverting grad
be cut over each year and the pastur-
age of some of the farms will be util-
lied. Under such conditions, it does
seem like poor business policy to con-
tinue the repairs and upkeep on these
unused roads. On the
other hand, the disseminating of the
roads by the town means that the
farm land will be even more inacces-
sible in a few years and it's market
ability will be reduced in like proper
ton. Thus, Vermont farm land goes
into the discard. Some of these
farms in Stowe may be reclaimed in
later years, but if so, will be under
the handicap Of lack of roads or
OF very poor roads. A goo d
highway is one Of the best selling
agencies for Vermont farm land; and
unless some way is devised to prevent
the reverslon of accepted highways
into state of disuse and disrepair

NOTED SEA GIANT OBSOLETE
Famous British attIeship That

It. was announced by the British ad-

class, was to be broken up. The ad-
miralty has sold the once mighty YES
SELL which blocked all the kaiser's
naval ambitions. together with over
100 other obsolete battleships. cruisers.
monitors, destroyers and torpedo
boats, says Current History.
Launched on February 2, 1906. with
her ten Pinch guns. her complete
armored belt and her speed Of q
knots, she not only made the rest
of the British fleet obsolete, but also
the rapidly growing fleet on which the
Germans were building their hopes.
The Dreadnaught meant that the
Kiel canal had to be widened. the
locks enlarged and the docks rebuilt.
German time and money that might
have been spent on constructive work
were wasted on mere alterations.
Though the design was varied, every
capital ship laid down by every coun-
try since then has been built on the
all-big-gun model Of the Dreadnaught.
The new battleship type, initiated by
the late Lord Fisher. was a stroke Of
genius.
When the great conflict began in
1914, Great Britain held an unques-
toned advantage on the sea. And
now. only Is years after King Ed
ward VIII launched the great vessel
at Portsmouth. with Lord Fisher
standing at his side, the Dreadnaught
goes to the scrap heap, hopelessly OBJ

Christmas Tree Cutting.
(St. Adams Messenger)

When short of other material along
toward the holiday time of the year
certain Vermont editors tip the barrel
and produce one of their Christmas
tree cutting editorials. It is, how
ever, topic not confined to this
state for discussion. In Canada the
accusation that Christmas tree cut
ting is wickedly and wantonly de-
stroying the forests of the dominion
has brought forth decided denial
from the dean of the University of
Toronto school Of forestry.
"There is" says the dean, "a gen
eral misconception on this point. For
estry is business and the forester
must look for profits for himself or
his employer. If he can get from 10
to 20. cents for fir trees 10 feet high
he is doing legitimate business. l
would like to emphasize with all my
strength that the object Of a forest
.er is not to protect trees from being
cut. There would be no foresters en-
ployed in this country or any other
country if there were no numbering
operations. 1t is the forester's bust
ness to produce wood, and if he can
make money in cutting trees three
inches in diameter he is doing a per-
fectly legitimate business"
The dean is further quoted as say
ing that the guiding principle in for
estry is to see that wood production
is continuous for all time; to see
that areas that have been cut over
shall come up again to commercial
trees, that areas that have, burned
over shall be regenerated with COM
mercial trees and that waste lands
and areas unfit for agriculture shall
be made to bear commercial trees.
If this Toronto Dean knows his
business, and what he says seems
senible, the trouble here in Vermont
is not with the cutting of Christmas
trees because they are small, but be-
cause no effort to secure another COM
mercial crop is made. There is no
doubt that forestry offers many at
fractions. Dartmouth college is a
case in hand. From an old grant of
land it possesses a large timber
tract and has arranged to sell the
soft wood on half of it to a paper
company for a million dollars. 1t re-
tains possession of the hard wood.
After this half is cut, the college
plans to open the other section, and
while that is being numbered, the
first section will receive the atten-
ton of foresters and another COM
mercial crop grown. In this way by
rotation, the college expects to make
this territory a source of important
and continued income and there is no
reason to think the institution will be
Trees grow and in
time that means money. All one has
to do is to wait. A college is con-
tinuing body and time is not of much
But, of course, when
only one cutting is looked for or pro-
vided this represents a destruction of
a natural resource, and when under
sized trees are cut it represents a
double commercial loss. There is
this much justification for the COM
plant against some part of the
Christmas tree slaughter in Vermont.

1t is a good thing that certain COM

Many people have left these states
for the allurements of the far West
and have been disappointed. The
