Vermont Farm interests.

Vermont stands second in the New
England states in the production of hay
according to government census bulle-
tin. In 1899 we are credited with 1,03O, 61S
acres, producing 1,502,730 tons valued at
$lO,544, S25. Maine is somewhat ahead of
Vermont in acreage 1885, oil, but behind
II in value of the crop, SIS, 1905. The
other New England states are far behind
Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachu
sets having only about half our acreage,
and Connecticut has only 401 1922 A sig
nificant indication Of the increase in
values of farm products is the fact that
with about the same acreage the value of
Vermont hay was $10,544, 1925 in 1899 and
SIG, 1885, $50 ten years later.
In corn, we hold second place in New
England, with 42,SS7 acres and 1,715,133
bushels of a value of $1,102,222. Connec-
ticut leads us with an acreage of 52,717
and a crop of 2,530,542 bushels valued at
81, 693, 939. assachusetts is only a
thousand acres behind us, but it's pro-
duction was greater by 100000 bushels
with a value of $1,372, 144. The other
New England states are nowhere in COM
parison-New Hampshire having only
1854 acres devoted to corn and Maine
but 1928.
In the item of sheep kept on farms,
New England shows a large decrease. In
1900 the number of farms keeping sheep
was 34,134: in 1910 1t was only 20,340, a
decrease of over 40 per cent. This de-
crease, however, is not confined to New
England. The West North Central and
Mountain divisions show increases in the
number of farms reporting sheep and In
the number of sheep, while all other di-
visions show decreases, usually in both OF
the items,-t Burlington News.

A Score Card Poultry Show,

For some time it has been talked that
with all the good poultry in this and
nearby towns there should be a first
class score card show held here in
Townshend. But as is apt to be the case
the men have done the talking and it
has fallen to that most enterprising and
up-to-date society, the Dorcas Guild to
take the step that will make it possible
for us to learn the true valuation of
biddy as to her shape and color as pre-
scribed by the American Standard of
Perfection. The services of d. E. Tasker
one of New Englands most prominent
poultry judges, has been secured and the
show will be held in the odd town hall
the last week in January. Every bird
will be handled by the judge and every
defect in shape and color from beak. to
toe will be designated on the regulation
score card. BY the use of the score card
the most inexperienced can tell where each
and every bird is lacking in those points
that go to make a perfect bird This
educational feature alone should war
rant the hearty cooperation of every
man, woman and child who keeps a hen,
as it means better poultry and more of
it.
