VERMONT HORTlCULTURISTS
Urged TO Make More Use Of Cold Stor
age in the Fruit business,

Vergennes, Dec. 1.-THE sixth annual
meeting of the Vermont Horticulture So
civtY was called to order at 10 II. III. to-
day 10y President A. ii. Inn of Isle La
Motto, after which Rev. r. X. Davies,
pastor of the Congregational church OF
the city offered prayer.
G. f.. -. Kimball of this city gave the
address, of welcome which was respond d
to by PRESIDENT Hill in a happy manner.
After reading of the minutes of the last
meeting reports OF county Vice-presidents
were heard. Following these reports a
general discussion was opened by 7. l..
kinney on the topic Which Does Cold
Storage Benefit Most, Producer or Con
sumer?' Mr.. Kinney said it was of much
more benefit to consumers than to pro-
duccrs because producers do not make
much use OF it. They must make use OF
it il they are to get the most for thcil
funds and products. The speaker said
that cold storage buildings need not be
costly.
Prof. Waugh of the Experiment Sta
ton at Burlington followed Mr.. Kinney
and said in part that the cold storage
benefits the man who owns the plant
whether he be a consumer or producer.
There are two periods in the apple sea
son Prot. Waugh said when apple pro-
ducers are selling or when buyers are
buying. The market the first part of tn,
season is dcmoraiized by the men whc
must and will sell. AS a rule this market
condition ends about October /. Thei
comes the season when those who HAY,
held their apples are in a condition t'
meet the buyers with better knowledge OF
crop conditions and prices.
AT the end of the discussion the chail
appointed a committed consisting of the
county vice-presidents to solicit some aiC
from the State to get means to secur,
speakers and send out practical matter.
Pref. Waugh, +. l.. Stevens and Luther

Rutland, Dec. 1I-fred Stewart, a far
mcr. living a mile north of Wallingford.

CURED. and it was not until this morning
that his body was found frozen stiff, with
his hip broken and skull cracked. Few
other bruises were found upon him. The
section gang found the remains by the
side of the track.
Mr.. Stewart had been to the village in
the evening and is said to have started
for hCnIe shortly after I o'clock. In going
home has was in the habit of taking the
track as his place was more conveniently
reached by that route. AS the man was
very deaf this was a dangerous habit for
him, as the fatality proved. His body was
found about a quarter of a mile north
of the village. North of him a few feet
was found a hand-saw. People testify
hat Mr.. Stewart was carrying a saw
when he started for home.
There is practically no doubt as to the
manner of lis death.
