Where the Farmer Falls Down.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

The Rutland Herald quotes CGmnliS-
Siener of Agriculture Brigham as having
said before the Rotary club there that
81, OO0. 900 could be added annually to the
value of the dairy products of Vermont
if their quality could be Improved.
THE Messenger does not know just to
what the commissioner referred. but 1t
has been told by excellent authority that
several cents a pound could be added to
the value of the average Vermont butter
if the farmer would exercise little more
care i'm handling his milk and cream.
As it comes to The Messenger from this
same authority, the cost of the extra care
needed would be only a fraction of cent
a pound, so that the several additional
cents that might be secured would be
practically clear profit. Yet, this extra
attention is not forthcoming and the
dairyman is paying a very high price for
his neglect.
Now this is not a matter that affects
1.-THE dairyman alone. 1t affects every one
of use because, in many ways, we are
spending 10 small amount of money for
the improvement Of the dairy interests in
state assuming this burden. the farmer
is under an obligation to all of us to
make the most of his opportunities.
This he is not doing on the statement
of the commissioner himself. 1t is pos
sible for the Vermont daiISman to improve
his product. Commissioner Brigham will
be the last to deny this. In fact, he is
striving in many ways TO get the dairy
men to do this very thing. And there is
not much doubt that the S2,000,000 he
mentions would be largely in the way of
premium for excellence of product and
would be largely pure profit TO be added
to whatever profit is now secured.
1t is n pitys that the state is losing this
possible S2.000000, especially when the
state is trying to do so much for our
agricultural interests. There ought to be
more cooperation on the part of the agri-
culturists. They much more than any
other industry, are in partnership with
the state and as honest partners they
should do their utmost to make the most
of their opportunities. After all. it is
pretty hard for many people to work up
much sympathy for the poor farmer when
as a class he is virtually throwing
/ 1000. 600 away annually.

THE footing ROMEOS.

A New York magistrate has fined an
ardent youth 50 because he sat at the
curb in his automobile and footed the
horn unduly to hasten the progress of
the young lady for whom he was waiting.
If more of these footing Romeos receive,
like treatment a public nuisance would
soon be abated.
Almost every neighborhood has its
quota of horn-tooting pests. They may
be delivery boys waiting for their help
ers, or lovers waiting for their sweet
hearts, women waiting for one another to
go shopping or any other somebody wait
ing for someone else. Night and day are
made hideous, babies Weakened from their
maps, sick people reused from their slumb-
ers and quiet folk disturbed unfairly by
the continuous honking of the horn which
at the same time betrays the impotence
and the bad manners of the one who
waits.
1t is part of the system of Indifference
to the public rights which some motorists
have, consciously or unconsciously, built
up around their cars. 1t should be tol.
Grated no more than speeding or reckless
driving.

The Middle of the Road.
lSpringfield Reporter. }

Hon. + l.. Howe. in his Bennington
Banner, is free TO say that if he is a can
didate for governor this coming year, the
chief plank in his platform will be a
promise not to approve any appropriation
bill which will add to the tax burdens of
the people of Vermont. except in the case
of some grave necessity. He sees no rea-
son to fear moderate amount of debt
and does not consider it an evidence of
loyalty and patriotism to object to rea-
sonableS taxes levied for righteous pur-
poses, but he does think that i halt should
be called for Il while in the riotous way
we have been squandering state funds for
some time past. Mr. Howe is. appar-
entity neither Il pinching economist nor an
eXtravagant Spender. He would not be
penny wise and pound foolish. nor would
he favor launching schemes calling for
huge appropriations until those who must
pay the bills, l. e, the taxpayers, have a
chance to express themselves as for or
against. Evidently Mr.. Howe would take
the middle of the road and avoid. if pos
sible, falling into the ditch on either side.
