StafOrd's Fine
Tribute to Lincoln


CINE, and by no means infrequently
are they found to be highly fruit
ful in suggestion. Even Census
Bureau compilation, fairly bristling
with figures, may set in motion a
train of thought with an interro-
cation point at the end of it. As
for example the following:
Is turkey breeding gravitating to
wards a lost art in the Green
Mountain State? According to a
Department of Commerce bulletin
less than one-half as many turkeys
were raised on Vermont farms in
1910. The bulletin sets forth that
in the year 1910 the turkey census
credited Vermont with a total of
1853 birds, while ten years later
the count could find but 5,514 spec
linens of the Thanksgiving table
piece-de-resiStence. Back in 1871.
according to the Vermont Press,
twenty tons Of turkeys were ship
ped out of the Brattleboro market
alone. Vermont seems to have been
chiefly responsible for the decrease
in the turkey industry noted for
the whole of New England for the
decade, the production fa.nng off
from 24,255 in 1910 to 21,282 in
1920. There was a marked gain in
Maine, New Hampshire and Mass
achuSetts, while Rhode Island and
Connecticut Just about held their
own.
Another Census Bureau bulletin
raises the interesting question of
what became of the 204,237 gallons
of cider made on Vermont farms
according to the latest census that
didn't get turned into vinegar 1t
appears that in 1919 (the year the
cider output was last figured in
Vermont was 1894, TO gallons and
that the vinegar made on the farms
to 1S0,533 gallons, OF
gallons less than the cider
output. What happened to the rest
of the cider?

production of turkeys, and notwith-

PRINCE OF WALES


CALGARY, Alta, June 6-Four
thoroughbred race stations and
five mares have been shipped from
England by the Prince of Wales to
his ranch near High River, Alta,
which he purchased when he visit
ed Canada in 1919. One of the
stations was purchased in England
recently by his royal highness for
SIS, 900 The other animals are
said to represent some of the best
racing lines in the British Isles.
The consignment Of horses arrived
in charge of a special staff sent
over from one of the princes Eng
fish farms. The. animals will be
used for breeding purposes.
Two years ago, Prince Edward
sent over his shipment of horses,
cattle and sheep which were to
form the foundation of the herds
on his Alberta farm In addition
to thoroughbred race horses it
included Shorthorn cattle, Shrop-
shire sheep and Dartmoor ponies.
These animals have been exhibited
at fairs in Western Canada and
have carried off many blue rib
hons. They have increased sub
stantially and there is a promis-
ing number Of young animals in
the princes pastures. Most of the
males it is said will be offered for
sale to raise the standard of West
ern Canadian stock bv the intro
duction of this new blood.

THE COAL STRIKE.

Tho administration, both Congress
and tho Executive. seems profoundly
Indifferent 10 tho great strike by coal
miners with which the country Is now
threatened. Beyond surly warning
from Attorney General Daughorty TO
the miners that they must preserve
the peace, no word has come from
Washington intimating the slightest
concern over what may prove seri-
GUS blow TO the business and indus
trial interests OF the country.
Judging by past experience, Il is
probable President Harding might
have averted all probability OF a strike.
by calling firmly upon both opera
tors and miners to submit their differ
ences TO arbitration. he might havr
brought about an amicable arrange
ment, as WAS done by President
Roosevelt score OF years ago. But
he preferred to do nothing. and now
the strike, with consequences that
may prove disastrous, ts inevitable.
