Veterans in Politics.
(Middlebury Register).

The American Legion is an organ
ization primarily standing for 10C
per cent. Americanism. 1t does not
exist for political purposes, nor will
it, as an organization, ever exist fol-
such purposes. It's object is to fur
Their the interests of the ex-service
man, render aid to veterans disabled
in their country's service, and to pro-
mote, foster and encourage patriot
ism.
That the members of the Legion
will, however, be a big influence in
politics is inevitable. Because, if the
members individually, failed to inter
est themselves in politics, it would
not be American.
While the Legion will steer clear
of destructive dangers encountered
by evolving itself into political ma
chine, distant future, form an ex-ser-
vice mems voters league, in which
they could, by concerted effort, pro-
mote and demand, square dealing and
fair play in the game of politics as it
is played in America.
The veterans of the World war
comprise the youth and the vigor and
the enthusiasm of the country. They
are bound to be factors in the politi-
cal history of the country from now
on. They cannot avoid it. They
would be Sinking if they did. And
American buddies do not find "shirk-
ing" in their dictionaries.

The extention of this trail and its

offers.
With its completion to Jay Peak

vacat1onlsts to start the tramp from

The Legion in Vermont.
(St. Adams Messengef}

A report of recent meeting of the
executive committee of the American

tanned the following:
3The department adjutant gave a
report of the membership campaign,
stating that the Green Mountain Post

their 1922 membership Al per cent
over 1921, and was now leading the
department. He also stated that Yer
mont is leading the world in pro
rata membership, and stood second
only to Florida in percentage of 1921
members paid up for 1922"
From which it is very evident that
ST. Adams has a Legion post which
for activity and virility is not excel.

after the war, to say nothing of the

Plant a Tree.
bennington Banner)

Governor Hartness has appointed
May 6 as Arbor day. In Vermont
Arbor day is mot SO important as In
the states where the forest area does
not increase naturally as it does
here, but this natural increase should
not blind our eyes to the fact that
much of the natural growth is of lit
tie or no value.
Land cut over in the old and COM
mon fashion does not at once start
a new growth of actual timber as it
would often save from 10 to 80 years
if it were promptly set out to trees
that would be worth while when
grown.
Then, too, along our roadsides and
fences there is splendid chance to
grow apple, cherry and nut trees, or
sugar naples rather than brush or
wild trees of little or no value.
An apple tree or a butternut will
grow beside the road or in a fence
corner just about as easily as clump
of choke cherry bushes In this part
of Vermont trees can be set out any
time from the first of April to the
middle of May.
Arbor day is not meant to limit
planting to a single day but to call
attention to the central idea.

COST OF POTATO GROWING IN
VERMONT.
Oh. P. Young, Farm Management
Specialist)


During the crop season of 1921
IL farmers kept accounts on the cost
OF growing potatoes in cooperation
with the county Farm Bureaus and
the Agricultural Extension Service of
the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College. The total
acreage grown was 55. The average
yield per acre was $50 bushels and
the average cost per bushe1 was Sc
cents.
Considerable difference in costs oc-
CURED due to yields, size of field, use
Oh certlted or uncertified seed,
amounts of fertilizer manure, spray
ing, and amount of work put on the
crop.
Fields of two acres or less grow
potatoes at cost of So cents,
compared with SO cents for fields
OF over two acres. This difference
was due principally to the fact that
the small fields did not work as econ
omically as the large ones and that
there was less use of labor saving
machinery on the small fields.
Certified seed apparently had a
bearing on yields. Eleven farmers
using certified seed secured yield
of two hundred fifty-fve bushels at
a cost per acre Of 1854 and a cost per
bushel of Sc cents. Eight farmers
using common seed secured a yield
of 225 bushels lat cost per acre of
S131, but a cost per bushel exactly the
same as those using certified seed,
that is Sc cents.
When we consider that seven of
the II men using certified seed sue
ceeded in passing inspection and sold
their crop as certified seed and that
all men using certified seed produced
a HIGHER quality crop at an equal
cost per bushel, the advantages of US
ing certified seed are apparent.
Blanks for keeping cost figures on
potato growing are now ready for
distribution and any one interested
in this work should write his county
agent for one of these blanks and
assistance in starting and keeping
the account.
Amounts of labor used on each
operation and costs of separate items
are given below.

Newport was wise to make the
speed limit of automobiles 20 miles
in the city limits instead of Is. In
many Instances 20 miles per hour is
not excessive or dangerous and a Is
mile limit only invites violition. The
old 10-miles-per-hour limit signs,
with now and then an eight or even
six mile sign, is unreasonable in the
light of modern conditions. A 20
mile speed limit in town, enforced, is
a reasonable law.

PROMINENT CORK
CITIZEN THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN SLAIN

Dublin, April 29.-(By Asso-
ciated ress.)-The Staying of
prominent citizens of Cork yes
terday has caused a sensation
here equal to that caused when
several members of the family
of Owen MacMahon were killed
in Belfast last month.
The full story of the outrages
is still lacking especially the
one in which either Rev. Rich
ard Harbord of the Murragh
rectory, or his son, was the vic
tim. Several reports agree that
the sor. was the one killed but
none relates the circumstances
Il is widely believed here that
the murders were intended in
reprisal for the MacMahon kill
ings, or rather for the impunity
with which their authors remain
ct large as many southerners
have voiced the conviction that
the MacMahons were killed by
members of the special police.
The provisional government is
credited with the declaration
that those guilty of the Cork
outrages will be brought to JUS
tice regardless of the time ard
effort this will take. The public
here fears more terrible counter
reprisaIs in Belfast which in
their turn would have a sequel
elsewhere.
