President, Illinois Bell Telephone
Company
During 1929 the Illinois Bell
Telephone Company spent in the
territory served by it approx
mately S18,000,000 for new con-
struction.
Nearly s100,000,0o0 will be
spent by the company in the next
five years, to provide additional
facilities in the company's terri
tory.
Approximately $4,000 telephone
stations we're added to the Bell
system in the state OF Illinois dur
ing 1922.
The gain in telephone stations
in the city of Chicago alone was
about $4,000. At the end of the
year the company was giving serv-
ice to approximately 637,500 tele-
phones within the city of Chicago.
With this increase in the num-
Der OF stations there was corre-
spending increase in operating ex-
pense, due to increased personnel
and other charges which naturally
follow the company's additional
service.
,Seryice Steadily Improves.
There has been a continuing i'm
provement of our service. The i'm
provement in employment condi-
tions has enabled us to choose
more carefully our operating en-
ployees, and this has had its good
effect on our service.
This company was one OF the
pioneers in Safety First and Acct
dent Prevention work. We now
maintain a regular department
devoted to study OF methods of
safety and the education of our
employees in safe methods of per-
forming their work and regulat-
ing their daily actions. The re-
suits obtained have been very
gratifying and will be surprising
to many persons. In the year 1917
the company employed 15.477 per-
sons. During that year telephone
employees suffered 587 accidents.
which caused them to lose time
from their work. This record does
not include minor accidents. which
showed no lost time. The total
number Of days lost by employees
for that year was 7,159 and the
number of lost-time accidents. per
one hundred employees, was 3.S1.
In 1922 the company had an aver
age of 22,299 employees. Up to
November go, there had been 306
lost-time accidents with q total of
2,290 days lost. sThis was at the

STATE WIDE SOIL
IMPROVEMENT PLANNED

A study of crop yields shows
that some Vermont farmers are
producing twice as much from
an acre as are others who are
on land which might be made
equally productive. DR.. En-
nest Van Alstine, Agronomy
Specialist for the Agricultural
Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Vermont, is planning
statewide demonstration work
to encourage farmers to adopt
methods which will increase
their efficiency at a minimum
cost, and establish practices
which have properly been call
ed permanent agriculture. In
cooperation with the county ex
tension agents and some of the
county farm bureau members,
demonstration fields will be es-
tablished in those counties
where interest and condition
warrant it.
After visiting a field and
making a study Of the soil, it's
past treatment and productive
tv, a system of treatment as to
lime, fertilizers, and crops will
be worked out with the farmer
and tried on a small area. A
mother area will be left with
out this treatment or with but
part of it and comparisons of
the yields will be made each
wear to see how profitable the
treatment may be
The attempt will be made to
use fertilizers in such way as
to get the largest profit from
them. The great interest that
has been shown by Vermont
farmers this season in the use
Of fertilizers indicates that con
siderable interest will be
shown in the project to estab-
!ish a system of soil improve
ment.

OF INTEREST TO
POTATO GROWERS

Mr.. j. E. Smith, of Meadow
Brook Farm, whose ADVERTISE
ment of seed potatoes "for
sale" appears in another col
umn, is a specialist in potatoe
culture, and is conducting some
interesting experiments along
the line Of "evolution," through
Seed Ball', and also through
cross-polinization.
The editor of this paper has
recently had the pleasure Of
inspecting a beautiful new and
as yet unnamed potato, with a
very finely netted cream color
ed skin and shallow pink eyes,
which is the result of direct
cross-polinization of the old re-
liable "Green Mountain" with
"Dibbles Russell and which
bids fair, when fully developed
to combine all the best features
of both these heavy yielders.
These experiments are being
conducted with potatoes that
are, by reason Of careful selec-
tion Of seed, treatment of soil,
etc, now, to a considerable ex-
tent, "blight resistant, and
Mr.. Smith believes that they
may eventually result in per-
fected strain, or type of potato
that will be entirely immune
to the various forms of blight,
etc, which now annually make
such inroads on the potato
yield of the country.
Owing to the excessive and
prolonged period of dry wealth
er during the growing season
last year, a very large percent
age of the potato acreage of
the entire country, developed
what is known as mosaic" or
'leaf ROLL" resulting in small
yield and poor quality of tubers
and everyone interested in po-
tato growing should strive to
combat this scourge, by plant
ing only seed potatoes that are
Terrified" or known to be en-
tirely free from disease, and to
avoid planting them in soil that
is infected with potato disease
from last years cropping.
/ AS a preventative Of "scab"
seed potatoes should be treat
ed, that is immersed for two
hours in a solution of one pint
formalin to 80 gallons water,
before being cut up for plant
ing. All bags containing, or
THAT have contained potatoes,
should be steriliZed.

Daniel Joseph Finn passed

Pond, coming from Barnston,
Que, where he was born. He

SUGAR AND SYRUP
CONTAINERS MUST BE.
MARKED

Deputy Commissioner of
Weights and Measures, Hiram
Davis Of Montpelier, calls the
attention of dealers in maple
sugar or syrup to the fact that
according to the Vermont laws,
containers of the above pro-
ducts, must be marked in some
manner to show the net weight
and measure.
Cakes of sugar may be sold
by count, but if containers are
sold, they must show the mea-
sure of the weight of contents.
Syrup may be marked with
either the weight or measure.
Inspectors have been instruct
ed to keep a close watch on
sales. Prosecution will follow
if the marking of weight and
measure on containers is omit
ted. No prosecutions were
made last year, but the Mass.

ed Vermont dealers for ON.
