The Changing Vermont.
lSt. Albans Messenger. J


During the past few years there has
been more or less discussion in the state
press and in private conversation among
individuals and groups of the changing
complexion of farm life in Vermont. 1t
has been lamented that the old Vermont
type IS disappearing from our country
side and that foreigners are filling the
vacancies so far as they are being filled
at all.
The federal census statistics on agri-
culture in Vermont present an Oppor-
tunity to test the theories that have been
advanced during the past decade. These
figures substantiate the contention of
those who have claimed that the Yer
monter is disappearing and that his place
is being taken by the alien. In the first
place the number of farms has decreased
in the past 10 years by 1864. That in
itself is significant.
Now there is one calss of people who
above all others are coming in to the
state. They are nearby foreigners;
they are Canadians from the province
of Quebec. The counties along the
northern tier have long been aware of
this Canadian invasion for they have
seen some of the very best farm lands
in the entire state bought and occupied
by these newcomers who have shown
| an exceptiOnable industry and thrift in
quickly diScharging the financial obliga-
tions incident to the purchase of our
| farms.
Perhaps the people down state have
not realized what this invasion has
meant because the Canadian has not
| penetrated that far although his prog
| reSS is yearly further south of the bound
airy line They have only TO study the
| census figures to come to a full reaiZa-
| ton of the extent of the displacement of
the old Vermont families from the farms
which often had been in the family pos
session for carnations.
| While the number of farms in the en-
tire state has decreased from 32,709 in
1910 to %, .075 in 1920, the number of
Canadian farm owners here has increased
| from ,, 463 to 2.663. To express this in
owned farms TO the total number of farms
in the state one would say that of the
total Canadians owned seven plus PEI
cent in 1910 and nine plus in 1920
While the number of native-b0Tn on th'
farms have shown a loss and while the
number of farms has decreased, the Can
adams have shown. considerable in
crease.
The only other foreigners to show n
increase are the Swedes but their mum
Der is small. In fact. while the Canadi
ans owned nine per cent plus of the to
tai farms all other foreigners are cred
tied with only three per cent plus. Othe
t foreign farmers except the Canadian ant
? the Swede have shown not only relative
but actual losses. the most marked bcin:
, among the Irish born. of whom Their
We're not half as many in 1920 as il
= 1910.
| Anyone who is interested in this wouI,
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-02-05

do well to look at the figures of farm
ownership in GrandIsle, Franklin, Or
leans and Essex counties, Keeping IN
mind the truth that foreign owners III
these counties are almost without excep-
ton Canadians, and Canadians from
Quebec who have come into the state in
recent years. Then they VIII realize
what. from the standpoint OF statistics,
is going on.
But the standpoints other than Stats
ties are the important ones. This inva-
sion cannot help but bring change IN
manners and customs. 1t involves a
change in the environment, IN the very
atmosphere. Without trying to draw
any moral. here is Il condition that
should be seriously pondered oyer. 1t IS
evident if the invasion continues we
shall. with the passing of a few decades,
have a new Vermont But VIII 1t be
the kind of New Vermont so many OF
us have been looking forward to for 50
many years. ...-

planets pause--iH- their courses. The
Hoover fund for hungry children IN Eu-
rope was enriched by over 5000 and several
hundred people were furnished with a
pleasant form of harmless amusement on
a bleak winter Sunday evening. The only
conceivable regret would seem to be that
the entertainments were not held in the
afternoon so that conscientious obJec-
tors could not complain that Sunday eve
ming audiences III the churches were de
pleted.
Still there are those whose early relig-
ious training makes it seem sinful to at
tend entertainment on Sunday. The grim
shadow of Plymouth Rock and the austere
influence of Puritan ancestry Undue
them with prejudiceS that are hard 10
overcome. Let US inquire into the mat
ter with calm mind and see, if Sunday
movies are Inconsistent with other occu-
pations that are universally tolerated.
Is it all right to sit at home and look
at a book of pictures while the phono-
graph is playing while it is wrong to look
at the same pictures upon a screen while
an orchestra plays the same music as the
photograph? ID.
Is it quite all right for Mother and
the other household servants to spend
Sunday forenoon cooking up a gluttonous
Sunday dinner, while it is sinful for them
to- attend an illustrated concert on the
first day of the week?
j it right to ride on the railways and
50 encourage the traction company EN-
ployes to fracture the Sabbath, while ii
IS wrong to look at moving. pictures?
Mr. Father and Mrs. Mother would
you rather have your 1S-year-Old boy pass
his Sunday hanging out in a tobacco
store. candy palace. drug store or loafing
upon the streets than sitting quietly in a
moving picture house listening to good
/ music? Would You rather have your
young daughter put in the afternoon pa
| rading up and down Church street to ex
! cite the remarks of sidewalk loafers OF
would you prefer having her going Will
| her girl chumS to the movies?
Is it right to play golf on Sunday or &c
motoring or walking and wrong to witness
moving pictures:
The question at present is one which il
receiving much attention all over tn
country and as such deserves considera
ton. Proponents of blue laws or simila
Sunday legislation will of course be op
posed to any such idea as Sunday movies
but ON the other hand there are larg
numbers of people who are opposed t
Blue Law Sundays. And there the matte
stands, 1t is question and undoubtedl.
ncontrovertable, because of which it i
worthy of thought.

TO BOMB NEW YORK.
Germans Had Airship to Carry 30 Tons,
Says Mitchell. ...#. ...t

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Germany
had designed an airship with sufficient
power to carry 20 tons of destructive
materials and intended to use this craft
to destroy New York, testified Brighten;
William Mitchell before the house naval
affairs committee yesterday. This ship
was the LIZ and was completed and
ready to make the trip when the armiStice
was signed 1t was taken over as trophy
by France.
Il believe it could have attacked New
York city with success, said General
Mitchell 1T was designed to fly at a
height of 10000 feet. thus making it viz
tuaIly immune from attacks by airplanes
on its trip here.
1T was equipped with electrical de-
vices that kept its engines warm at the
high altitude. Its crew, was protected
with electrically heated clothes and sup
plfed with oxygen from tanks. The big
Ship was built to carry 20 tons of explo-
sives.'
General Mitchell said that the army is
now designing similar ships capable OF
flying at the 10000 feet altitude.

Puts Vermont On An Equal.
(St. Adams Messenger. ~


1t is difficult to understand why the
bill creating a commission on foreign and
domestic commerce should have encOun-
tered any opposition in the house at
Montpelier. 1t probably wouldn't have
had the word commission" not been at
taChed to it. There are some men who
have an unreasOned hatred of that word.
This bill does not carry an apprOpria-
ton with it. Its purpose Is to give Il
commission which already exists a le-
gal status. the same aS similar commits
Sions from the other New England states
have. 50 that Vermont. in the important
conferences dealing with the common in
tereSts of New England. will be on an
equality with the other states.
1t is gratifying to those who look for
a coordinate development of Vermont
that the vote resulted as it did for ii
shows that the members from the agricul-
tural towns, or a goOdly number of them,
are anxious to work in the harness with
the industrial representatives.
The fact is. it is only by this kind of
team work that Vermont can go for
ward. The urban representative must be
willing to give his assistance to all
proper measures benefiting agriculture
while the rural member must be willing
to give support to proper measures which
aim to build up our industrial centers.
Not only this but Vermont must work
with the other New England states In
order to safeguard and protect her owl
interests. 1t was a son of Vermont, Cal
vim Coolidge. who emphasized. as gov
ernor of Massachusetts, the necessity oil
New England team work and wht
caused these state commissions to b,
appointed. Vermont would have take1
a backward step had this commission bill
not received the approval of the house
and it will take backward step if thu
senate does not concur in the house &c

the state when rural Vermont is left To
