\ While on field trip recently the
writer had occasion to pass through
both villages and it was impossible to
keep from mentally making COMPARE
sons. The two were unlike in that for
their existence both depended almost
solely on the farming country around
them; neither having any manufactur-
ing industry Of consequence. The
only noticeable commercial advantage
/ that either had over the other was
that the one lay nearer the main ira
veled highway and apparently drew
some summer tourist trade
In this community, though it were
more Travelled, the road was smooth,
well graveled, quite free Of dust, and
had received recent attention from a
scraper or drag. In the other it was
both rutted and extremely dusty, and
seemed to have been allowed to take
care of itself to the best if it's ability.
In the one, the store where the
county agent stopped to tank up with
oil was type with which we are all
familiar-weather beaten outside and
fly specked inside-every other board
in the porch was half rotted and brok-
ject in sight was the gasoline filling
station which changing times had
forced on the reluctant owner, looking
very much out of place against it's
background. Diagonally across the
street the church stood forlornly in a
tangle of grass and weeds, and the
houses, for the most part, implanted
and weather beaten, and standing be-
hind upkept yards, were entirely in
keeping.
The whole atmosphere of the other
village was in contrast. There the
main store was clean in appearance,
with an attractive window display;
the church was a neat white-painted
building, and the houses were nearly
all fresh and attractive with well-kept
shady lawns; the whole giving the i'm
preston of quiet prosperity that was
unmistakable.
AS to which was which of these
two communities it ought not to be
necessary to state. To say that the
difference in the quality of live stock
is the cause of the difference in living
conditions may not be justified, but to
anyone who has occasion to travel
through Vermont towns the conclusion
that good farming practice and a
satisfactory home and community life
go hand in hand is inevitable.
1t will pay any man to sit down for
few minutes and talk over with him
self the possibilities for improvement
in his farming operations. To the
dairynfan there is probably no one
course that promises greater returns
than that suggested by the table at
the beginning of this article-the i'm
provement of the herd through the
11Sa of c11norior ciro
1t is only by the general employ
ment of the best farming methods by
individual farmers in this, and other,
particulars as we'll that Vermont COM
munities will become the satisfactory
places to live in that they can and
should be.
