"Of course the league would be de-
lighted to receive an affirmative an

shows that he has answered yes &c

Mostly About "Stod" Bates.
(Hindley in Rutland Herald)

(Hindley in Rutland Herald)
AS we slid into Derby street after a
steep tangent from Newport, it SEEM
ed perfectly natural that the first
natural wonder we should encounter
and admire should be Stod Bates.
Since being sidetracked by the ad-
ministration on a very liberal under
standing of what the highway COM
mission law really means, Stod is by
way of being gentleman of leisure.
That is, he gives the appearance of
being leisurely, but dabbles around
more or less and gets in his time.
Stod runs the electric light COM
pany and the cooperative creamery.
He is something or other in the GEM
etery association and hangs around
the town clerks office a good deal, for
reasons that may appear. He runs a
farm or two, runs down to Mont
pelier at times and listens to Hart
ness and Bryant plan road system
and in between is running for coun-
ty senator.
That is, he runs as much as a man
ought to run who has practically a
walkover for the nomination, although
there are three other candidates in
the south end of the county.
Stod admitted that he might be
nominated, but called attention to the
south-end fight. 1.-TWO of them might
be nominated" he alleged. Yes, and
some one might beat Frank Greene
for u. S. senator, too, but he won't.
Meanwhile Stod and his fellow-cit-
liens have solved the washboard evil
in gravel road. Yes, indeed; and
it can be done just as easy-if you
know how and have the spine to en-
force your own rules, and regulations
state law, as matter of fact.
Derby street is mile boulevard,
four cars wide, perfectly plain and
honest gravel, dragged and worked
and treated with calcium chloride
That's all, except that they pay for
the chloride in an odd sort of fashion
There's 20-mile speed limit
through the street and the aforesaid
town clerk took in enough money
from speeders last year to pay for
the mile of chloride!
Just as simple as that. A conceal
ed traffic cop pipes off the joyriders
and by the time they get down to the
town clerks Office they are all fixed
to plank down fine and costs to help
along the chloride fund.
Stod does not advocate the lovely
little combination as a final answer
to the dust and washboard problem,
but it's clear enough to the feeblest
intelligence: Keep your speed limit
down below "a miles per hour, and
your chlorided gravel will do the
| trick, especially if you drag it after
! every rain, when, to tell the truth,
| it is apt to be just a mite greasy and
skiddery.

Sour Soils.

At Sutton, VT, there is a mari bed
where there are thousands OF tons
of mari which is very valuable Tor
sweetening sour soils. Water is
standing on part of this mari the
wear round while other parts OF the
bed are wet and marshy. Another
mari bed in a low, swampy place is
located near Williamstown, VT, ano
several other places are to be found
in different parts of the state. :,
All mari deposits, as in fact all de-
posits of limestone and marble nave
been formed under water, In many
cases as the accumulation OF sheils
and other remains OF water animals.
Tt is absolutely correct to say that
wherever there is deposit OF mari,
limestone, rock or marble, the lano
has at one time been under water.
This should be proof enough Inai
standing water does not make land
sour.
A mistaken notion is quite preva-
1ant that standing water causes soils
to become acid or sour, that the lower
and wetter parts of a field are always
more acid than the higher parts: The
statement is repeatedly made that
certain field or certain part OF
field must be acid because 1T is not
we'll drained and water stands on 1t
a considerable part of the time.
Lack of lime is the cause OF sour
soils. Water teaching through the
soil dissolves out and carries away
certain amount of lime every year
and the result is that the soil becomes
sour whether the soil is hillside or
low land. Sometimes the most acid
part of a field is the high land while
in other places the low land is most
acid. 1t is only by a soil test that it
is possible to determine whether the
high land or the low land is most IN
need of lime. Any farmer who is in
doubt as to whether or not his soil is
acid should call upon the county agrl,
cultural agent for an acidity test II
the farmer himself does not already
know how to make the test. Wher-
ever the test shows that lime is need
I'd T. should be the first thing used
for otherwise it is impossible to get
the full benefit from any fertilizer
or manure that may be used.

Takes Discernment, Courage and
Persistence.
(Barre Times)

In trying to impress people WIN
the opportunities for business sue
cess right here in Vermont, the Bar
ton Monitor tells about two young
men in Lowell, VT, who got $500 off
their strawberry patch Of three
fourths of an acre this year, about a
young man who started laundry
in Barton a year ago and has recent
ly been compelled to enlarge his facil-
tiles and engage more help, about a
Newport man who learned that lad
ders were not manufactured nearer
than Boston and who now is meeting
with a great public demand for the
ladders of his manufacture. The
contemporary points out that these
are only scattered cases in its vicin-
/ ty. 1t is the same everywhere about
the state; there are opportunities and
some discerning men are picking them
up constantly. 1t isn't necessary to
go out of the state to find fine OPP
portunity to advance in the business
and commercial world. The trouble
is to have the discernment to see the
opportunity and then the courage and
persistence to take advantage of the
opportunity.
