pairying and SUGAR Making.

=
The Vermont Sugar Makers Asso-
citation and the Vermont State Dairy
mems Association held their annual
meeting in Burlington last week.
These organizations represent the
two most important branches Oliver
mont's agricultural interests. The
following figures on Vermont's
standing as a producer of agricul-
tural crops illustrates the real i'm
portance of these industries. Ac-
cording to the Crop Reporter issued
by the agricultural department the
average production of corn per acre
the last season in Vermont was Al
bushels. But six states in the union
produce more corn per acre and the
average production for the United
States is 1913 bushels. The average
production of wheat was 27.S bush
els per acre. Only three states pro-
duced more and the average for the
United States was 1875 bushels per
acre; barley, average production in
Vermont 305 bushels per acre; nine
states equalled or exceeded this; av-
erage for the u. S. 21 bushels; pota-
toes average production in Vermont,
los bushels per acre; eleven states
equalled or exceeded this; average
for the United States, 500 bushels;
oats average production in Vermont,
35 bushels per acre; eleven states
equalled or exceeded this; average
for the United States, 24.4 bushels;
hay, average production in Vermont,
100 tons per acre; sixteen states ex-
ceeded or equalled this; average for
the United States, ITO tons per
acre.
duction per acre Vermont would
naturally be expected to be one of
the large hay and grain producing
states of the Union. The only rea-
son it is not is that dairying and
sugar making are more profitable
than raising hay and grain and this
illustrates how important these two
industries are in Vermont. There
fore any helpful suggestions made
to the dairymen or sugar makers of
the state have vital interest.
One fact emphasized at the sug-
ar makers meeting was the lack of
advertising of the maple product of
the state. The statement of A. A.
Carleton of West Newbury that no
vermont maple sugar was for sale
at the Land Exposition held in New
York and no samples to be had I'M
til the close of the exposition shows
serious lack of enterprise on the
part OF Vermont sugar makers.
Other states made good exhibitions
of sugar and naturally got the
trade. We are glad to note that
the association has voted to use its
dues this year to advertise Vermont
maple sugar. If done fnteI-4gentIy

Much discussion is being made
over the ownership of the Montpel-
Ter Journal and the owners have so
far refused to reveal their identity
AS it is generally understood that
the paper is not a financial success
it is believed some one owns it for
political purposes. This general be-
lief greatly reduces it's influence as
a public journal. 1t shows that the
day of the political organ" in Yer
mont journalism is passing. Most
of the newspapers of the state are
trying to do business on a self-sup-
porting basis so they can be poll
tically Independent. There are
few who let the advertiser make
the rates for them and then take
care of the deficit sure to follow by
selling once in two years the in
fluence of their editorial columns to
some ambitious politician. The
value of such support is diminishing
so fast that the demand for it is
likely to cease. If it is stopped
Vermont newspapers will have to
establish rates that will give suffi-
Gent returns to enable them to
give their patrons live and attractive
papers and when that comes we
shall have a better and more infiu-
entail press in the state.

about 100 fine horses and they said
there were as many more ranging

the horses from the storm. They
were fed all the corn and alfalfa

swamp hay was in racks near by
where they could eat what they
wanted. These horses were from

Now that Mordecai Brown has quit

champs has been shot, to pieces In the

said Manager Wolverton today "If he

take his turn with the other pitchers,
and also means that he'll do his best
