Statement to Farmers of Orleans
County.

The Orleans County National Farm
Loan association has just closed a
very successful season'ss work. And
in the words of President Harding
at the opening of the National Agri-
cultural conference last Friday, is
endeavoring as a unit of a great sys-
tenn, sto assure the farmer as gen.
erous supply of working capital, on
as reasonable terms as is granted to
other industries"
The Federal Land Bank of this dis
trict has had applications for $1O,003-
500 since May 1, 1921.
The net earnings of the bank the
past year is $4,000. This last sum
will be divided among the borrowers
from the bank, which includes the
members of our association. The
business of. granting loans will be
resumed as. soon as the snow goes off
sufficiently to allow appraisals to be
made. Therefore those contemplate
ing asking a loan through our asso-
citation, should get in their. applica-
tions during the winter. An error
that should be corrected is a state
ment made by the secretary treas
urer of another association in Yer
mont-"that the interest on leans is
BIZ Co." The Federal Farm Loan
Board of Washington, D. c., gave or
ders hast spring that all loans should
bear 6Eo interest. And payments of
Ia of the loan, made, where the
term, for which it is made, is 33
years. Loans may now be obtained
for the following terms: 10 years, Is
years and 20 years. But the pay
ment will be CORRESPONDENCE larger
for these shorter terms.

Good Roads.

MI.
We judge civilization by the roads.
For the prosperity of Vermont, we
need good roads, not only on, the
main highways but on the branch
roads where the farmers live. The
real "dirt farmer" is the backbone of
the nation. If he should lay down
the hoe and plow, starvation would
menace the world. Russia is a de-
plorable example of what happens
when agricultural activities cease in
large part. Poor roads in Russia
and China bring famines every few
few years. Roads from one province
to another are SO poor that food
cannot be moved, so while there may
be plenty in one, there is starvation
in another.
We hear about abandoned farms in
Vermont and the decadence of our
rural communities. If these things
be true one reason is to be found
in the poor condition of the roads Ain
the back districts Because of these
poor roads rural schoolhouses have
been abandoned and the schools con-
solidated in the larger centers.
The call today is, for economy as
well as efficiency in all state and
town expenses. A plan was tried this
summer in Glover which perhaps
might be worked out successfully in
other rural towns. The only thing
necessary for success is the right
community spirit.
: The selectmen allowed $50 a mile
to certain districts and furnished
road machine. The district turned
out and made the road-the four
mile stretch on the Clark hill road
was allowed $120 and made first
class road for less than $50. The
road between Glover village and West
Glover was allowed 500. This road
was in deplorable condition but
the community wanted a good road
and turned out and made it. Proba-
bly, it might have cost $3.50 if the
district had not contributed some of
the work.
The arguments in favor of this
plan for rural towns are first, it
cultivates a good community spirit
and teaches cooperation. When a
road is OURS we are more interest
ed in It than when it is THEIRS.
Second, people feel personal res
possibility for the road. They are
interested to pick out the loose stones
and divert water from the road. Peo-
pie should have proper respect for
the highway. They should look on
it as the friendly road.
Third, it gives people in the rural
districts chance to work out their
taxes if they desire. This is in the
line of democracy and equality of
opportunity.
Fourth, this is by all odds the
cheapest way to make the country
roads.
Fifth, we might have better roads
in the back neighborhoods. If one
community makes a frst-class road
it is an object lesson to some other
community. We learn by what we
see.

No Federal Test for Simpson
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
The report has been and is still be-
ing assiduously circulated that I have
applied for a federal test.
Let "the heathens rage and **t
imagine a vain thing" / have not
applied for test nor do I intend to
unless driven to it by force of cir
cumstances. I have sold and had
tested between 20 and 80 head with
out single one being condemned.
However, I want to keep my perma-
nent breeding herd free and uncon-
taminated from the product of dam
gerous and insiduous disease as long
as possible. I recall to m n d
herds right here in this county that
had always been healthy and passed
the first test all right, to go wrong
at subsequent tests, why? Let the
veterinarians answer.
Very truly yours,
