Meeting Of G. j. Bell Pomons
Granqe.

About twenty people from Middle
bury attended the meeting of the Po-
mona Grange at Brandon last Wednes-
day, February Ia, and all of the mem
bers said that it was one of the very
best meetings the Grange has held in a
number of years. Practically every
one of the seventeen oranges of the
Pomona district responded to the roll
call, and made brief reports of splendid
work and possibilities of the Grange in
the several communities.
After basket lunch, which proved to
be near-banquet, and helpful social
hour, the fifth degree was worked on
about twenty members. There were
greetings from the Neshobe Grange
through Past Master Knowlton and re-
sponses by Master w. N. Cady; essays
on Home Education, Native Birds and
Trees for the Country Roadside, all of
which proved very helpful and instruc-
tive. Under the head of topics were
taken up the Shortage of Crop Seeds,
The Exhaustion of Hillside Pastures,
and Experiments by the Farmers. J..
Sterling Moran of the county Y. M. C.
A. spoke of the corn growing contest
now being promoted by the county COM
mittee, and the corn show to be held in
the fall. Much enthusiasm was mani
tested by the members present and the
possibilities of corn growing in YER
mont. The scheme has the hearty sup
port of the Pomona Grange and great
many people are planning to enter the
contest.
After business session and music by
Neshobe Grange the meeting was ad-
journed at 4:45 p. m. in time for the
members to take the train for their
several homes. About two hundred
and fifty were in attendance.

Addison County and Brandon Corn
Growing Contest.

The County Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association of Addison
County and Brandon, composed largely
of farmers and others interested in the
economic development of Vermont,
have decided to hold a Corn Growing
Contest among the young men and boys
and the farmers, eliminating in a corn
show to be held in Middlebury on Octo-
Der Is and 16.
Vermont is not great cereal pro-
ducing state, but there is no reason why
the total value of its corn crop should
be barely above the million dollar mark.
The total value of the cereals produced
in Vermont as given in the 1910 census
is So, 651 ,877. The total value of the
oat crop of Vermont was 81, 169, 223, -
there were 72, 900 acres under cultiva-
ton producing little less than two
million bushels, while 43, 900 acres pro-
duced 100000 bushels of corn valued
at 81, 102,222. Corn produced per acre,
on the average, forty bushels, while
els. The income per acre for the corn
was $26 as against SIG for the oats.
In the decade 1899-1909 there was a
decrease of 80. per cent in the acre
age devoted to corn, and only 2.5 per
cent. decrease in the acreage devoted
to oats. 1t is fact that the hay and
forage crops of Vermont have total
value of sixteen millions. 1t must be
remembered that there are over mil
lion acres devoted to these crops, and
only little less than 1875, 900 acres to
the cereal crops. With the value per
acre of corn as $1,000 greater than that
of the hay and forage crops it is self
evident that more land should be de-
voted to the production of corn and
other cereals.
The County Committee, is therefore,
undertaking this corn growing contest
in the hope that it may demonstrate to
the rising generation, if not to the
present generation, the economic posi-
bilities of corn growing. There will be
classes for boys in the village who have
little land to cultivate, known as the
"garden class" the farm classes for
the boys on the farms and the open
class for any farmer who wishes to
enter the contest. Yellow Dent and
Yellow Flint will be the kind of seed
used for the boys, but the farmers will
not be limited to these special
strains.
There will be banquet at the Addi-
son house tonight friday at which
the whole scheme will be launched and
discussed. In addition to this Professor
|. w. Davis of the Department of
Pomology at Middlebury College will
speak on the possibilities of apple Gull
ture in the Champlain Valley. There
will be other speeches by men who are
interested in rural Vermont. The COM
mittee expects about seventy-five men
and boys to sit down at the banquet.
