GOLD MEDAL FOR VERMONT.
Maple Products Exhibit at jamestown
Exposition Receives Highest Award.

Vermont has received d gold medal
on the exhibit Of maple products at the
jamestown exposition. This is the
highest award Of merit given by the jury
of awards and " deserved official
recognition of the character and excel
lenee of the extensive exhibit of maple
sugar and syrup made by the Vermont
Maple Sugar Makers association under
the auspices Of the state commission.
1t is proper TO say in this connection
that the maple products exhibit in the
Pure Food building was made possible
By the concession Of free space made at
the request Of the Vermont commission
BIZ the exposition management, which
allotted 1000 square feet for this ex.
hibit This space was turned over to-
the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers as
sociation, in addition TO which gratuity
the state commission allowed liberal
sum toward the expense incurred In fit-
ting up the space and installing the ex-
bibit.
Exhibitors In the Pure Foods building
and visitors to this building regarded
the maple products exhibit as this lead
ing attraction in this department. An
excellent exhibit Of maple s,ps.f and
syrup was displayed, and the process Of
manufacture, or "sugaring off, was de-
nlonstrated daily in the booth By A. =.
Croft, Of Enosbiirg Falls, Hot syrup and
griddlecakcs, doughnuts and waifles were
served to many thousands Of visitors
during the exposition. This exhibit is
generally considered splendid adver-
tisement for Vermont maple sugar pro

It Is considered quite probable that
Vermont would have received other

faeturers ana producers awaited them

ton purposes BY the stats commission.
