VERMONT NOTES One- third of the storehouse of Milo Nelson, of Burlington, collapsed from the weight of the snow on the roof Friday night. The damage to the building and the farm machinery stored in it is estimated at $10,000. Nelson is a large dealer in farm ma chinery and the storehouse was heavily stocked with goods for his business the coming season. Forty-seven head of Holstein cattle sold at Brattleboro Feb. 6th, brought a total of $10,995, an average of $237 each. H. S. Kelsey of Boston, head of the Waldorf Lunch corporation, operating a large farm at Lexington, Mass., paid $1,175 for three animals. One of them was Hengerveld Judy, seven years and eight months old for which he paid $680. W. H. Fair banks of South Sudbury, Mass., paid $350 for a bull calf. A suit for $10,000 has been entered by Dr. Benjamin F. Millington of South Londondery against the town of Londonderry for personal injuries and damages to an automobile. The doctor sets forth that owing to large holes and depressions, and many humps and hummocks in the high way, his car was forced from the road and totally wrecked and that he him self was injured to a degree that he has been unable to attend to his prac tice since. H. E. Gray, Westfield, Purchases a Valuable Bull. H. E. Gray, Westfield,, who has gone into the Holstein business in a rather definite way, has been doing considerable business of late. He has been doing some official test work and his cows have been making creditable records. He sold his young herd sire, Piete Alcartra Korndyke, 140737, whose sire is Pietze Alcartra Fayne, 88972, and dam, Winana Korndyke Beauty, 109171, who has a 21-pound four-year-old record, to Dr. J. M. Al len of St. Johnsbury for his herd sire for $800. After completing this sale Mr. Gray turned around and bought a half interest in the sire of the bull sold to Dr. Allen, whose sire is Pietze 22d Woodcrest Lad, 39489, dam, Lyndon Alcartra Polkadot, 106807, record, 33.03 pounds of but ter in seven days. The bull is now jointly owned with J. W. Prentiss of Alstead, N. H. Mr. Prentiss has a high value on this animal and would not part with it for any ccnsidara tion. The daughters of the bull have been making exceptional records and he believes him to be one of the great sires of the breed. He has recently purchased a very highly-bred young bull to breed the Pietze Alcartra Fayn's daughters and wishes to re tain the bull to cross back the second generation. Mr. Gray considers him self very fortunate in being able to (Continued on Page Six) ISLAND POND Recent new subscribers in the Island Pond exchange of the Pas sumpsic Telephone comnany include: Charles Roby, R.

Long before Rome was converted to Christianity the youths and maids on Feb. 15 annually drew names from two sacred urns in the temple, of those of the opposite sex who fate decreed were to be their sweethearts for the coming year. The early fathers of the church, finding they were powerless to entirely eradicate the pagan practices of the Lupercalia,' changed it from Feb. 75 to St. Valentine's day, the 14th. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY. Dillingham Real Father of Bill. Among the chief proponents of a literacy test has been Senator Wil liam P. Dillingham and the passage of the measure is to a large degree a triumph of his long expressed ideas. On other occasions he has been able to convince congresses . but never presidents. He is really the father of the message as it now exists and deserves the larger share of credit for bringing about the benefits which will accrue. Burlington News. What Happened in Norton. Norton is a little town of less than 500 inhabitants in Essex county on the Canadian line. Last March it voted for license, 15 yes and eight no votes. A second-class license was granted to a man who paid the maximum sum allowed by law, $2,000, for it. The explanation is simple. Stan stead county in Quebec, just across the line from Norton, voted no-license a year ago after a hard fight and drove out all its liquor saloons. So the liquor men came across to Norton and do an international busi ncss. Doesn't that m'ake Vermonters feel proud of the Green Mountain state : The Vermont Issue. Bonding for Permanent Roads. We believe that the time has ar rived when the state should tnke some definite action towards bonding for permanent roads. This much is true, that the average town has gone the limit, so far as voting money for permanent roads in fact, nine out of every ten towns, shows an indebt endness which is not in keeping with the grand list and in many instanc es this debt is due to trying to keep pace with other towns in building permanent roads. Let the state do a little experimenting. Let a bond issue of $500,000 start the plan and if it works out well, more bonds can be is sued m two years. .Let the money oe expended in a business-like manner put into the hands of a commission of three of Vermont's best men men who are so interested in the work that the idea of compensation will not en ter into the deal. It is a fact, that if Vermont is to continue to be recognized as one of ideal summer resorts and tourist states, the road building problem must be solved better, and in our judgment, it will be necessary for the state to establish trunk lines, build them, and wholly maintain them. Towns the size of this have neg lected the roads which do not prop erly come under trunk line roads, just to build roads for a passing acquain tance tourist business. The average town in Vermont has been milked to the limit on permanent roads. The present law has been thoroughly tested and in our judg ment it is fully proven, that many of the towns cannot stand the strain any longer. Let the state build and maintain the roads that properly come under the heading of trunk lines and the only way to do it is by issu ing bonds. We hope to see the pres ent legislature take some definite ac tion along this line. Waterbury Rec ord. Thompson the Man for State Fores ter. The Rutland Daily News of Feb. 1 says editorially, under above head: 'Judging purely by the biographi cal data as furnished from Montpe lier, it would seem that Sidney Thompson of Barton, son of the late Judge L. E Thompson of Irasburg, brother of Frank D. Thompson of Barton, 30 years of age, a native of Vermont, a graduate of Dartmouth in 1910, and of the Yale Forestry school in 1911, is preeminently the man who should be selected as forester of Ver mont under the new, business-like dis pensation as recommended by Gover nor Graham. "As emphasized on Wednesday, Rutland would be flattered to have one of its enthusiastic students of for estry receive this position. It is clear ly evident, however, that the Barton man, by reason of his larger experi ence, other things being equal, is the man to be selected for this important position. It seems that for some thing like six years .Mr. Thompson has been employed in forestry work by the federal government. "As it appeals to the Rutland News, this experience, preceded by a- thor ough college course and a special course in the Yale Forestry school should dictate, beyond peradverture of question, that the appointing pow er should select this applicant as the succesor of Austin F. Hawes about to retire. That is the showing, so far as the candidates thus far in view goes. "The Rutland News hasn't the slightest notion of what Mr. Thomp son looks like, hasn't the slightest in formation as to his temperamental qualities for an important executive position. If a man of his education and the extent of his practical field work is not" head and shoulders the superior of the other applicants of the post, all of the recommendations and records go for naught." The above is a very handsome en dorsement of a very worthy young man. Every word is deserved. Mr. Thompson has had a very valu able experience in the White Moun tain region of New Hampshire, in Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, Georgia and Ala bama, under different experts of the Federal forestry- department and also as expert in charge in field work, sur veying, estimating number and value of standing timber and value of prop erties offered the government for for est preserves, and amount of ref or estry necessary and advisable thereon. Winters he has been called in to the main office at Washington and had valuable experience therein, tabulat ing reports of the work of the sum mer season, etc. For the past season he has been stationed again in the White Moun tain region with headquarters at In verness. In this work he has served under and with some of the best experts in the federal forestry service. As the News well says, this experi ence is of great value and is just what Vermont needs at the present time, when' she is starting forest reservations, parks, etc. Mr. Thompson has and needs no pull, except his record. Morrisville Messenger. . SOME FACTORS WHICH MAKE FARMS MORE SUCCESSFUL. A farm management demonstra tion was started in 1915 in Barton, Brownington and Irasburg townships by the Orleans County Agricultural association. Records of the 1914 year's business were secured from 72 farms. In the spring of 1916, 32 records of the farm business of 1915 were taken. On 26 of the farms, rec ords were obtained for both years. 'It is these 26 farms which are included inthis report of the second year of the demonstration. ARE YOU MAKING A PROFIT FROM YOUR FARM? In order to be profitable the farm should pay all running expenses, in cluding upkeep of buildings and ma chinery, return interest on the mon ey invested in it, and pay you for your work. The amount of money you make for your year's work is called your labor income. Below is shown how the labor income was fig ured for one Orleans county farm: TOTAL FARM RECEIPTS, (Milk, cream, cattle, crops, etc.) $1,894 TOTAL FARM EXPENSES, (Labor, grain, fertilizer, repairs, etc.) 910 FARM INCOME, (Receipts minus expenses) $964 TOTAL CAPITAL INVESTED, (Land, stock, machinery, etc.) $7,380 INTEREST ON CAPITAL, 5 per cent of $7,380 369 LABOR INCOME, $615 The receipts on this farm, including any increased inventory, were $1,894. The farm expenses, including any de crease in inventory, were $910. The differences between the receipts and expenses ' was $984. This was the amount the farmer earned for his la bor and for the use of the money he had invested in his business. The $7,380 invested would have earned him 5 per cent interest or $369 , if in vested elsewhere. In order to get what this farmer earned for his la bor, the $369 interest was subtracted from the farm income, leaving $615. This was the farmer's labor income. Besides his labor income, the farmer has a home and the firewood, milk, eggs, vegetables, etc., that the farm furnishes. From studies made in La moille family these items have a val ue of about $350 per family. A man with a mortgage on the farm must rely chiefly on his labor income for family expenses and to pay off the mortgage. The man whose farm is paid for can use the interest his money earns, as well as his labor income, to meet the cash expenses of his family and to save. WHY DID SOME FARMERS MAKE MORE THAN OTHERS? The charts on page No. 1 show that there was considerable variation in what the different farmers made. Why was it that some farmers had larger labor incomes than others.? some will say that it is due to the ability of the farmer. However, this is not a satisfactory explanation. A farmer succeeds because he does cer tain things and farms under certain conditions. If we understand these conditions and methods, they may be copied by other farmers to their ad vantage. One of the objects of this demonstration is to point out what these things are and bring them to the attention of all the farmers. When we want to compare what different farmers made, we compare their labor incomes. The following pages show that the more successful farms? (1) are the larger farms, (2) have high-producing cows, (3) have better crop yields than the average, and (4) are well balanced. A farm may be successful in spite of a small size, or poor cows, or poor crops; but it will not be successful if low in all of these. The well balanced farms, those good in all of the factors are the most profitable ones. What is limit ing your labor income is it the size of the business, poor cows, poor crops, or all of these? Notice how your farm compares with the average in these points. If your farm is one of the more successful ones, perhaps it could be improved even more. IS A SMALL FARM LIMITING YOUR PROFITS ? The size of the farm business may be measured by acres in crops, num ber of cows, or the capital invested in the farm. The following table shows how the labor income varied with the capital invested: Total (Japl- A v. labor A v. re- No. of labor tal per ' In- celpts per incomes farm come cow over $8t)0 1914 1915 1914 1915 1914 1915 Under $7000 $449 $327 $65 $64 1 In 8 1 In 7 $7010 to $9500 5 6 549 50 55 1 In 8 8 In 9 Over $9500 646 723 60 60 51nl0 51nl0 It is seen from the table that the labor incomes rose in 1914 from $449 on the small farms to $646 on the large farms; in 1915 the rise was from $327 on the small farms to $723 on the large farms. The table also shows that on the average the cows on the larger farms were no better than the cows on the smaller farms. A comparison of average farms with the five most successful: Av. of 26 Av.of5well farms balanced 1915 farms 1915 Measures of size Capital invested $9079 $11419 Number of cows 15 19 Acres of crops 52 53 Total receipts ' $1886 $2647 Total expenses 876 1163 LABOR INCOME 556 913 The large farm has many very im portant advantages over the small farm. A farmer who takes in only a small amount of money from his farm business in a year cannot possibly make a large labor income. If he takes in more money he has a chance of making more. Labor was used to better advantage on the larger farms. On farms of less than 40 crop acres, one man handled 20 acres of crops and one horse 16 acres of crops. On the large farms of over 55 crop acres one man handled 39 and one horse 26 acres of crops. These differences are due to the more efficient use of labor possible on large farms. The crop yields in the two groups were nearly the same. The labor income a farmer makes (Continued on Page Six) Beware of Fires from Overheated Pipes and Flues these Cold Days Be hure you are well protect ed if fires do occur.
