Chleken-ples galore, other pies, cakes and coffee, etc., Ill piofuslon, made the problem a serious one when the class with guests filed Into the dining room. Stein resolution was in the faces of nil, however, and the determination to con quer or die In tho attempt was evidenced by all. Hut while they fought till ex hausted, there were still worlds to con quer when they aro'-e from the tables and adjourned to the pleasant parlor for their feast of reason anil flow of soul.

Work Making Rapid Progress on the Es tate Presented by Charles Downer. At tho session of the Vermont Legisla ture of 1908 laws were passed creating a State Forestry Department. As it was a piece of legislation having the hearty ap proval of the people of the state, the de partment came Into being strong and full Hedged In Its every essential detail. The state authorities looked about for a do artment head and found him In Professor Austin F. Hawes, of Connecticut, who knows how to scale a log, to measure a pile of wood and thin out a young growth of trees. Once Installed as State Forester, Pro fessor Hawes, well backed by the state authorities, began tho work of providing the means for forest tree planting, for de monstration work In the care and cutting of woodlands and In all else pertaining to the subject. To Increase the ctllclom-y of the department tho state early In 1903 bought a tract of forest land In the town of Plalnfleld, near Montpeller, and placed this In the care of the State Forestry Department. Scarcely had work begun In earnest on Plalnfleld tract when the state received a gift of an estato In tho town of Sharon for forestry work and experimentation for demonstration In ap ple orchards ana for experimental vegeta ble growing; this last under tho direction of the Department of Horticulture of the State Agricultural College. Tho gift was absolutely without condi tion, requirement or exaction, and was promptly accepted by the state and was placed In the care of the forestry depart ment. The opening of spring of 1910 saw the plans for Its workings set In opera tion, nnd already these have attained to large and Important proportions. Tho donor of the estato was Charles Downer, a native son of Sharon, n gradu ate of Harvard University, class of '89, and of Its Law School of 1892. Mr. Dow ner has retained his resldenco In Ver mont, and Its people hope he will ever remain ono of Its citizens. To tho estato he gave to Vormont has been given tho name of the Charles Dow ner State Forest. It contains In excess of three hundred ncres, of which eighty acres ore valuable, mature wood land; fifty acres nro tillage land that Is In a flno state of cultivation nnd easy to work; one hundred nnd fifty acres nro In paature, flvo In a twenty-yoar-old apple orchard, which area will be considerably Increased, nnd thero aro fifteen acres of swamp. A Inrgo part of the present pasturage area will be planted to forest trees, tho present plan contemplating tho setting out of 143,157 of such trees. In cluded In tho species and varieties to bo planted nro white, red, Scotch and Aus trlan pine, Norway, Adirondack and white spruce, balsam and red fir, European larch, arborltal, black locust, black wal nut, white ash, red oak, basswood and hemlock. Of tho above the white and red pine, tho white Bpruco, tho white ash, red oak, basswood and hemlock nro all Indigenous to tho Whlto River Valley (In which Is Sharon) section of Vermont. Tho others named aro Introduced 'trees, Whlto spruce, whllo common In other sections of Vermont, Is not so In this locality for tho entire Whlto River Val ley opens to the sun In a southeasterly slope and Is as warm and early as nro sections of oven southern Now England.

The valley Is the homo of tho whlto and crimson clovers, which grow In every nook and corner. Of the trees native to the valley the rock or sugar maple heads the list. There is no need to plant It on the Charles Downer State Forest or elsewhere In this valley, for It springs up everywhere with the density of grass in a well kept field. The white ash, red oak, basswood, hemlock nnd the canoe not the gray birch grow In profusion. The black locust Is seen now nnd then as an Introduced tree, but It Is to he planted on the state forest, with n view of ascertaining Its adapta bility to Vermont lands nnd Its value In commerce and agriculture. As to tho black walnut, which it Is proposed also to give a trial on the stnte forest, there will be naturally much Interest ns to tho outcome of Its tests. It Is rarely If ever seen In Vermont, even ns an Introduced tree, but as such It grows to a large size In Central Massachusetts. In the last spring tho following trees wero planted on the state forest: White pine. 12.000; red pine, 7000; Scotch pine, 10,000, and Norway spruce, 5000, or a total of 34,000 trees. As soon ns another spring comes a goodly share of the remaining 109,157 trees will be set. Those planted the 'nst spilng made in the season a very satisfactory growth. In addition to the forest tree planting tho state nursery at the Agricultural Col lego In Hurllngton maintains n branch nursery at tho Downer State Forest, and in this are today some two hundred thousand seedlings, a number designed to bo greatly Increased next spring; so that eventually the nursery will be able to supply land owners In eastern Ver mont with trees. Work Is already In progress thinning tho woodland, to the end of getting the best possible growth. The first of two demonstration npple orchards Is already planned. It will be five ncres In extent and will contain a total of 135 trees, divided as to varieties 50 In Northern Spy, 40 In Rhode Island Greening, nnd 45 In Mackintosh Red, The second orchard, for which the plans nro not yet perfected, will be nine acres In extent, nnd, like all other demonstrations In horticulture, will be under tho supervi sion of Professor M. H. Cummlngs, horti culturist, at the Vermont State Agricul tural College. Connected with the estato Is a modorn, spacious residence. Plants nnd shrub bery surround It, nnd tho farm highways aro llnod with stately maples, pines, hem locks nnd spruces. Tho estato abounds with springs nnd streams of running water. In tho early summer meadows and fields nre red with tho luscious and matchless Vermont wild strawberries, and ns the season ndvnnces tho wild raspberry nnd high blackberry nro abund ant nnd both, like the wild strawberry, are matchless for flavor.
