THE FAR.;a~; HAS NOT sTRrcK.

THE FAR.;E-, HAS NOT STRTCK.
DO you remember the talk of far,
mers' strike last fall? The farmers were
going to stop producing food because they
were not paid enough for it to cover the
cost and give them decent profit. They
said so themselves, and the public feared
a serious shortage this year.
Well. consider the latest reports of the
wheat crop. Wheat is the country's big
gcst and most important food crop. The
agricultural department forecasts COM
bncd spring and winter production OF
$50, 100000 bushels, which is almost ex'
actly the average of the last five years
and 43.OO0,000 bushels more than last
years output. Nature has not been un
usually liberal. either. The farmers have
done it themselves, planting over 1000
600 acres more than they did year ago
There may be industrial strikes and
consumers strikes, but there are no far
mcrs strikes. The farmer may grumblc
but he stays on the job making full use
of his capital and labor.
If this fine example of continued effort
under difficulty and disbursement wert
only followed by the capitalists ant
workers in other lines of production.

awarded by the towns of Brattleboro and
ton Co. of Albany, n. Y. for a new
steel bridge to be completed by March ].
The temporary bridge was carried out by
freshet Dec. 10. and the work of erecting
the new steel bridge was begun few
weeks ago by the sub-contraetors, the
American Bridge Co., the bridge being
fabricated at the company's plant in FL
mira, n. 7.
The contract price of the new bridge
was around $4,000, Brattleboro's share
being three-quarters and Hinsdale's one
quarter. Under the contract the towns
were to pay 20 per cent of the contract
price when all of the steel arrived on the
ground. The company, a few days ago,
made demand on the selectmen for the
payment of 20 per cent and Engineer
John w. Storrs of Concord, N. H., who
| is employed by the town, came here and
checked up. the steel and certified to the
lselectmen that all tbo steel was here. Town
Treasurer Fred G., Adams had been I'M
able to sell the bonds as adyantageously
as was desired and so other arrangements
had been made for securing the money by
loan, and it was the intention to pay over
the money Yesterday, hut for the present
it will not be paid. Brattleboro's share
of the 40 per cent is $33,S00, after deduct
ing certain amount which was to be al
lowed the towns by the contractors by
reason of the fact that the towns were to
put in the bridge flooring.
Engineer Storrs was notified of the
accident, and he informed the select
men that he would be here last night to go
over the situation.
The bridge loss will not have to be sus-
tanned by the town, but by one or the other
Of the bridge companies, and it is under
stood that they are insured. In any event
the loss of so small a structure, compare
lively, would not be felt seriously by
them, as they are large concerns,

TWO HEALTH ITEMS.

Water and sewage disposal are matters
of constant surveillance in the big cen
ters of population. This is one reason
why cpidemics are rare or easily checked
if they do occur in spite of congcsted liv-
ing conditions. Similar care is seldom
exercised in the smaller community or on
the farm. The result is menace to
health which frequently offsets the bcnc-
fits of space and fresh air. Yet the
smaller town on the lone farm domain
can be just as sanitary as the most mod
crn city if simple precautions are taken.
In one Ohio city the district health
commissioners are taking up a campaign
in the rural districts. Villages, farms and
school property will all come in for in
spcction. and for Improvement where
that seems necessary This is excellent
work for any public health body. but the
village fathers and the individual cit-
zens can do all that is necessary with
out any cxtraneous aid if they will but
recognize the necessity.
Every water supply should be tested
frequently to see if the water is free
from disease germs. and every possible
source of infection should be checked.
Adequate sewage disposal is just as i'm
perative. and need be neither an involved
nor costly process if little study is
devoted to the subject.
These matters are important every
where all the year round, but summer
with it's lowering streams and intense
heat doubles the danger.
