DtlMsik anay growers cut the seed several days before planting, the seed aonetlttM decays, The department say* this Is largely because the cut seed Is not kept undet the right con­ ditions. The department found that the seed gave best results when it was kept at a temperature of 00 de­ grees F. and at a relative humidity of 87 per cent. Most farmers can easily bring the temperature of, their potato storage room to the right point by using an oil stove or some other heat- lqg method. For practical purposes, If * the air la fairly moist, the humidity will be about right. Putting wet burlap bags on the doer or hanging them up help keep tho air moist. The seed should be treated before cutting. After the seed potatoes are cut they may be plaeei In barrels or sacks until ready for planting. They should not be spread out, as they do not cork over properly when spread out •iiiiiiMlittitiiiiimiitmiimiiiiiMtititmiitiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii/* . * LOANS AND . . .1 . . .INSURANCE. . . !

Bobbin . l4v**tock Extension Spe cjallat. University of Illleole. WNU Service. There will be no such thing as un­ employment for the 902.000 horses and muies on Illinois farms tills year, for farmers are going to use them to the limit as a source of economical power. Whenever farmers gathered at meet Inga during the winter, they discussed the savings made by working their horses steadily Inst year, and they are going to do It again this season, For one thing, this saved expense. In ad dltlon the horses and mules ate about 22,500,000 bushels of corn, or about one-seventeenth of the 1032 crop, and 30.000.000 bushels of oats, or more than one-fifth of the 1932 crop. Other- wise this grain would have gone on an already overcrowded market and at best would have sold for less than the cost of production. Farmers’ Interest In the Increased use of horses, was evident more than a year ago when a survey at county live stock schools Indicated that one- third of those enrolled used "five or more horses In one team for plowing and other heavy field work. The farmers had found that any Implement can be pulled easily if enough horses are hitched to It. This past winter farmers expressed a still greater determination to let the horses do their bit to furnish an out­ let for cheap grain and thus cut down cash costs for farm work. One farmer o f McLean county, for Instance, plowed about 200 acres last year with an eight-horse team. He says that this team Is going to enable him t<j do most of his field work alone this year. In this way he hopes to keep operation Costs more nearly in line with farm Income. Farmers are making eveners, buck ropes and tie chains to use this spring.

Its story is more than a recital of statistics; It is more than a review of the number of organs and scales manufactured there annually and far more Interest­ ing than an estimate of the number of miles of public buildings which could be faced each year with Its mar­ ble1and granite, and roofed with its slate. It has elements of a drama It has faced not seven, but seventy, lean years. Ip the seventy years from 1850 to 1920 the census returns show that the population increased only from 314,120 to 352,428 or 38,308—a little more than 12 per cent. During this same period the increase for the United States as a whole was more than 350 per cent. In the ten years from 1910 to 1920 the number •of Vermonters actually de­ creased. Yet the future seems bright enough to the men and women of th$ Green mountains, . The outsider may, perhaps, be for­ given If he hopes that Its prosperity shall be no more than modest, and-that it shall not Interfere greatly with Ver­ mont’s present status. For It is today one of the most truly American of our states. Its people'have hardly changed in their essential elements In a cen­ tury. Barely one In nine is foreign- born, and the majority of these are Canadian and therefore American. Vermont’s drama is rooted in that fact. Its people are a dynamic l o t - hard-hitting, resourceful, energetic, restless. In the census of 1790 It was shown that of the total population of S5.425, approximately 81,200 were of English stock and 2,000 Scotch. Its Young Men Left. The oncoming years brought few different factors. The names one finds today In Vermont were on the earliest records. There was little, to be can­ did about it, in Vermont to tempt im­ migration in the last fifty years of the past century. There was everything outside to tempt emigration. The young men left, just as young Scots­ men go to London. Iowa's rich prairies called the farm- er who had stumbled over Vermont's rocky hills. Once famed for merino sheep—it became the inheritor of the Spanish Crown when the royal, flocks were dissipated under the threat of Napoleon's invasion—it saw them dis­ appear under thepressure of necessity. Sheep held on costly land and fed seven months In the year cannot com­ pete with those grazed on free land the year round. The estates located in rich bottom lands were held, of course, but In the pioneer days farmers built cabins on bill shoulders for the sake o f the early-morning reassurance of a neigh­ bor’s plume o f smoke across the vat- ley. Many of these hill farms became economically Impossible. Today the dairy cow Is taking the place sheep once held in Vermont’s scheme of tilings, The cow must be fed all winter long but she abundantly repays. Milk trains squeak through the winter snows to gather cans at every crossroad. Milk trains roar throngh the early dawn, bound for the great eastern cities. This achievement has only lately been made possible by the creation of new transportation facilities. Her enormous marble industry—one shrinks from comparative statements, but Ver­ mont is very certain there can be no greater marble quarries in the world— had not been thought of, The dignified statehouse at Mont­ pelier, the capital, was built of gran­ ite from the famous quarries which have made Vermont the lender among the states in the value of this stone supplied for monumental and struc­ tural purposes. Rich in Marble and Granite. So, if one sees nothing else in Ver­ mont today, he should see the marble quarries and the granite works, where armies of skilled men, equipped with the latest engineering appliances, wrest huge blocks of stone from the state’s rich mountain sides. Many families were literally starved out of the village of Lowell in north­ ern Vermont in the curly days. Wagon trains left for Kentucky nnd the West­ ern Reserve. No one then knew of the. vast beds of asbestos in that part of tiie state. So with talc and slutc nnd the other mineral riches which are now being slowly developed. Nor did anyone sus­ pect that tier rounded hills and lovely dales would some time oiler a prom­ ising vnrnflon ground—at a profit—to May 18 and 19 Operetta Cedarville Opera House 8:00 O’clock, the thousands In tjfe great cities with­ in q few hours’ ride. Today Vermont Is a cheerful, sunny, Independent little state, In which life admittedly presents more difficulties than I d the lands wherein one may live on breadfruit But it Is more worth while, It 1 b distinctly not given to hero worship, and It has a pawky humor that might trace to Its Cale­ donian pioneers. A calm, clear-visioned common­ wealth It Is, too, with a distaste for rebellion against constituted authority, but with a fine capacity for it on occasion; willing that each shall wor­ ship God in Ms own way; intent upon getting the dollar’s worth, but not falsely valuing the dollar; hospitable as are few states in these days of the easy road. Every Town Hsks Its- Peak. .Not a single town Ih Vermont Is without -Its eminence. .There are ap­ proximately 900 peaks whose summits are 2,000 feefc or more above sea level The northeast corner, an area perhaps 50 miles by 50, is in effect a wilder­ ness. Bears roam there and deer, and landlocked salmon are to be caught in lakes rarely seen by man. Elsewhere’ the mountains seem more hospitable. The tallest, Mount Mans­ field, 4,393 feet high, can be readied by automobile over good, though steep roads and all ace accessible to hikers. This Is a state of lakes, too; for there are approximately 400—from Lake Champlain, 118. miles long, be­ tween the Green mountains and the Adirondacks; to mere potholes gleam­ ing in hill fastnesses; and of little rapid rivers^ which slow down here and there Into placid teaches where the hungry trout leap at dawn. As one rides through the state, the remains of old water mills are to be seen — moss-grown, picturesque, a warped wheel clattering in a ruined race. Now they are an Invitation to the, artist. With, them: are weathered gray houses clustered about by for­ gotten, orchards and dim roads that seem to lead nowhere through tangled wood*. ' ' ’ One o f these days, one fears, there will be humming turbines where the little old mills are, now falling into decay. Factories will replace the sag­ ging rooftrees o f the old houses. Whether we .like it or not, this is an age of progress, and these hillside rills and spring-fed mountain lakes will ultimately be harnessed. For thirti a years Vermont was an Independent republic, making Its own laws, maintaining its own army, coin­ ing its own money. It was a con­ tumacious and. stiff-necked community, for during this period it was not only In rebellion against England, but was carrying on a lively private fight of Its own with the state o f New Y rfc and the Continental congrecs. A historian records that “ Vermont’ was never anything but free. Never a crown colony, never yielding alle­ giance to any province, a’tate, or king­ dom.’’ When she was admitted as the fourteenth state to the American Union, after the Revolution had been won by her loyal aid, it was upon her own terms. Champlain's Voyage. Her written history begins on July 4, some say July 14, 1000, on which debatable date Samuel de Champlain discovered the lake which, bears his name and which is our largest body of fresh water outside the Great Lakes. On that Voyage the Sieur de Cham­ plain fought with his Algonquin hosts against the Iroquois, and so assured the friendship of the latter powerful tribe to the British, who were to come later. It has been argued that this may have decided the future over­ lording of this continent. Who knows? The first French settlements on Isle La Motte were not permanent. White men did not come to stay until 1724. when settlers who had seeped in from the Massachusetts Bay colony built a blockhouse at Fort Dummer, near the site of the present city of Brattle- bore. Here Timothy Dwight was born in 1720. Three o f hls descendants through his marriage with Mary, daughter of Rev. Jonathan Edwatds, were to become presidents of Yale. This is worth noting, because Vermont talks more of her men than of her marble or state or granite. “More than once,” Is the cautious statement, “ Vermont has furnished a greater number of men to Who’s Who, relative to population, than any other state.” If one begins to name the distin­ guished sons of the state, one fears to be overwhelmed; yet it must be re* membered that for decades they were almost the only exportable product; and have left their traces everywhere through American history.
