name "Pure Vermont Maple Sugar" is
b., ing used by firms all over the country,
who never even saw any Vermont sugar
and Mr.. Bass urged the Association to
take some legal steps in regard to this
matter and said that there were other
cases of similar kind that had been
tried and been entirely successful.
L. X. Tabor OF Wescott, was called
upon to speak, as he had recently made
trip through the West and would talk
authoritatively on this matter. He said
that Canadian sugar was worth two
cents per pound more in Chicago than
the Vermont product and that farmers
making it in very crude way were re-
ceiving IL to is cents per pound for it,
as it was heavier and would go farther.
He advocated the adulteration of the
Vermont product as the only way to
compete with these western goods.
