THE sUGAR-MAKERs.
AT the close OF the Dairy mems Conven.
ton the Vermont Sugar Makers Associa-
ton took possession for its sixth annual
meeting. Hon. 9. j. Bell OF Walden, the
president, delivered his annual address, in
which he said that while the sugarm akers
had been engaged in making a fine product
they had neglected 10 get it TO the consumer
in the original package. Much of it got
into the hands OF men who adulterated it
in various ways and labeled it Pure
Vermont M iple Sugar " This not only In
jured the sale Of the pure produce but
created taste for the impure goods. The
law against the adulteration was observed in
this state but not outside. 1t was an impor-
tant matter to have Vermont have the sat
isfaction that she can alone produce and
set the price OF the finest sugar and syrup.
Mrs. Luna s. Peck of Burlington read an
original poem on Sugarmaking and A.
j. Croft of Euosburg Falls spoke OF the
sugar exhibit at the Nashville Exposition.

The session Thursday evening was taken
up in discussing the question Of THE i'm
portance OF taking immediate and definite
action relative to the establishing of trade

and marketing the maple products OF the
state" Hon. Victor 1. Spear led the gen
eral discussion.
The last day was devoted largely to bust.
