VERMONT NOTES

A very successful poultry cuiling
demonstration was held Monday af-
ternoon at East Charlotte at the farm
Of H. H. Claxton. Seventeen inter-
ested poultry keepers learned from
Prof. H. A. ID. Leggitt of the Unlver-
sity of Vermont the art Of culling
out the boarders. Those present ex-
pressed themselves well pleased with
the way in which Mr.. LeggiJt ex-
planned how to pick the profit-nlakers
in the flock and many questions were
asked.
This is the first of series of DEM
onstrations arranged by the Chitten-
den County Farm Bureau for this
week. Tuesday, demonstrations are
held at the farm of B. /. Newton
South Burlington in the forenoon and
at the farm of B. L. Byington in
Charlotte in the afternoon. Wednes-
day demonstrations are scheduled for
the farm of W. M. Petit in Under
hill in the forenoon and at the farm
of Grow Brothers in Westford in the
afternoon. It is trusted Prof. Leg
gift will visit Orleans County during
the fall.
Fire Tuesday destroyed between So
and so cords of pulp wood near Cut
tingsville. The wood was owned by
Harry Hill Of Belmont. Only
through theh efforts of volunteer
fire-fghting forces were the flames
prevented from doing created dam
age. No standing timber was de-
stroyed.

Consistent H0ning Will Always Help
bennington Banner.)

An automobile. ride from Randolph
to Bennington by way of White River
Junction and Bellows Falls, after a
morning of rain showed why some
towns have good roads while others
have merely rugh and ill-kept trails.
Rain had fallen during the night and
early morning and it was still threat
ening, but in several hours the road
drags were out and busily at work to
take advantage Of the moist roadbed.
In other towns the washboard roads
were being left to dry and harden
again; losing the most favorable
chance for improvement in three
weeks. There are good many towns
in Vermont where gift of good roads
would be neglected and abused until
they returned to worthlessness. In
the 140-mile trip above referred to
the best road was the ten or twelve
miles of gravel road in the towns of
Weathersfeld and Springfield between
the Windsor line and Cheshire bridge.
In motoring up the Connecticut river
it is wise to stay on the Vermont side
of the river as far as possible as the
Vermont roads are much better than
those of New Hampshire.

SUGGESTED CHANGES

1t is an encouragement to find here
and there an intelligent trained young
man taking up farming as a life
work, and the reference has in mind
particularly young men of so-called
native stock. The perpetuity Of civil
ization and human relations depends
first on the supply of the food require
ments of man, and the production
of stable and dependable volume
assuring to the producer competence
jewellers. That farming as an occupa-
ton has deteriorated is in not small
measure due to tillers of the soil as
class. Their work has been more
arduous, hours infinitely longer, and
home life surrounded by fewer COM
forts and conveniences. BY precept
and example his sons have been
taught that they must leave the occupa-
ton of the father and fit themselves
for a profession or mechanical pur-
suits, and quite often end in eking out
makeshift existence. Parents have
denied themselves the common COM
forts Of life and health to give their
boys chance, while if they had pro-
vided their family surroundings with
such conveniences as city and village
jewellers accept as matter Of course
husbandry might have held its own.
Just why farmer shouldn't have d
furnace in his cellar, a lavatory, run
ming water and light his residence in
many instances with electricity isn't
understood. If more farmers wives
had power washing devices and motors
attached to their sewing machines
there would be fewer farmers daugh.
tiers in shirt factories and laundries.
It is surely hopeful when the organized
farm movement gives heed to the
home surroundings of country dwell
erS.
There is probably many a man who
has accumulated a million who didn't
care particularly about dollar, being
spured on by the love of accomplish
ment. So it is with the boy on the
farm, give him COW, pig or an acre
of land to be wholly and absolutely
his own and the inherent love of ac-
complishment will often work won
der that will be a revelation to the
father, aside from starting that
youngster on the way to be what the
country so much needs-intelligent,
capable farmers. Bureau demonstra-
tors can give us soil analysis and tell
us what plant life will draw inter
from the air for the enrichment Of
the turf, but after all is said and dcne
the successful farm is going to be
managed by the man who knows how
to milk cow, pillow furrow and
split a rail. Finally, if the govern
ment must guarantee to a railroad
wrecked by manipulation and ques-
tionable practices a profit on the IN
vestment, how much more it behooves
US as people to see to it that the men
who produce the very prime neces-
sites of life get an honest return for
an honest effort.

grades in the warehouse, and since
then we have had the supervision Of
bringing this up to proper test, by
heating and filing several thousands
Of one and five-gallon containers for
shipment to individual buyers, hotels
and others desiring the product.
when the bank decided to help the
maple sugar growers we felt it would
be desirable to gain the recognition
of the banks, So we circularized sew
eral thousand banks, trying out GER
tain states, with view of getting a
line on he best marketing localities.
1t is interesting to watch the replies
that are coming in every day, and
while we have not had time to get
responses from a large portion of
those who have ordered, there is a
substantial mail bringing in repeat
orders, congratulations, thanks for
giving cashiers and presidents the OPP
portunity to get the syrap and sugar
and letters from hundreds of Yer
monters asking if they can be OF ser
vice.
eve want the product to go to the
user, as this will build up future
demand, which will warrant our en-
couraging the farmers to produce
nothing but the highest grade of syr-
up, and eventually in the course of a
few years we will be able to transfer
the business to cooperative associa-
ton with perhaps a little supervision
from ourselves"
This is along the lines we had in
mind when we were joining with 9TH
er advocates of the election of Gov
ernor Hardness last year in commend
ing his advocacy of better marketing
facilities for the products Of Vermont
farms.
We believe what Vermont needs
more than any other one thing, out
side of sufficient Vermont money in
Vermont so that our boys shall not
be forced to chase it into other states
in order to get chance to use it, is
an industrial and commercial agent to
do in various lines what the Weldon
bank has so commercially done in the
single direction of maple sugar.
We go farther. We believe Yer
mont could well afford to pay Mr.. Cor
liss or whoever organized this whole
movement salary of $4,000 year or
even more to organize the sale Of
Vermont products of a standardized
quality on a thoroughly systemized
basis as in the case of maple sugar.
Why should not all Vermont get
down to business here and now in
stead of sitting on an oratorical fence
for decades and watching other pro-
gressive states and their successful
products march past us and indulging
in alternate lamentation and self
laudation. We can not spend $4,000,
however until another legislature
tells us we may There is nothing,
however, to prevent any man or set
of men from doing in other lines
what the Weldon bank has done so
successfully.

overwhelming majority are in favor
Of getting together for the sales of

of this mind they should act at once
and on their own initiative. The fruit
growers of the Western states, not
ably California, have not waited for
additional federal assistance but have
built up monster cooperative organi-

conjunction with his fellows. And
now is the time to begin.
