systems and Caledonia county will
become the best agricultural county
in New England. Our horses, but
ter and other products take the
prizes in world competitions but we
need to produce more of them. We
need more COW testing associations
so we shall stop sending out of the
state our best stock, but keep it
here and let the outsiders have
those we cannot afford to keep.
State Commissioner Brigham
T.. S. Brigham of st. Adams, state
commissioner of agriculture, spoke
of the establishment of the Farm
Bureau in the Department of Agri-
culture and said its purpose was to
cooperate and not coerce the farm
er. What the country needs is
more crops off the land it is already
tilling. Denmark has about the
same area as Vermont but it pro-
duces enough agricultural crops to
support 100000 people and ex-
ports over $6O,000,0OO worth. He
said the greatest need in Vermont
is good labor on our farms. Good
farm hands in Northern Europe get
500 a year and board, but in YER
mont they could get $3.50 and board.
While the farmer cannot contract
with a foreigner to come here and
work, the state could advertise in
those countries the opportunities
here and perhaps induce some of
them to come. To make this pos
sible he had established a bureau of
farm labor and hoped to secure the
funds to advertise Vermont as a
good field for farm laborers. These
are people of good birth and would
make good citizens. The state should
also have a bureau to aid foreign

pointed to the fact that in the last
three years there have been about
5000 deer, yielding 100000
pounds of Venison, killed in Yer
mont, a state in which deer were
entirely extinct 80 years ago.
He advocated a law prohibiting
sawdust in streams and ponds, the
imposition of a fishing license and
the restraint of mongrel dogs that
do so much damage among wild and
domestic animals. He presented
Burgess johnson of New York as
a Vermont product.
Vermont Should Advertise
Mr.. johnson told some very good
stories and said that his appeal to
Vermont is to advertise its advan-
tages. The Vermonter has too long
been too much advertised as 'Yan-
kee." He should make known to
the rest of the country that Vermont
is a good agricultural field, that its
crops have superior qualities and
Caledonia county should label all
it's crops sent outside of it's borders
"Grown in Caledonia County" and
see they are all of a quality that
will merit the advertising. 1t can
be well advertised by the men it is
sending into other fields and we
should so educate our young people
they will be a credit when they go
abroad. Former Vermonters do not
know enough about Vermont and
we should educate so those who go
out will want to return here after
winning success elsewhere.
Methods in Canada
Prof. Mcmillan of Ontario spoke
of the farmers organizations in Can
ada. The county agent was first re-
ceived with suspicion there, but now
/ is welcomed as a real aid. Much
has been done there in the education
of the children, not only from books,
but through agricultural and poul-
try contests conducted by the school
children. The school fairs held in
fall at the school houses showing
what the children had raised for
themselves had done much to arouse
interest and introduce better meth
DDS. Vermont should raise much
more poultry and if it would adopt
the methods Canada has, it would
soon be doing so.
From Greater Vermont
James P. Taylor of Burlington,
secretary of the Greater Vermont
Association, spoke of the influence
such a meeting would have over the
whole state as it was setting good
example. Vermont leads New Eng
land and in fact the United States
in the county agent movement, as
every county but one is trying to
secure an agent. AS a result of this
work the farmer mas come to be
recognized as one of the most pro-
gressive factors in the community.
1t has also led to more cordially and
cooperation between the farmer and
the business men and is making Yer
mont better known. He was proud
to have Vermont named in Boston
as a model for other states to follow
in county organization and he hoped
the time was near when she could
show the way in other things.

Donald B. Fraser, president of the

committee in charge Of Sullivan's estate
to pay a note Of $500, declared to have
been made by him and now held by the
Union Bank Of Brooklyn. Sullivan's
attorneys declared this one Of the al

took the motion under advisement.
When Sullivan's relatives first sus-

had him committed to a sanitarium at
Yonkers. He remained there for a time,
and was said to be improving rapidly.
His brother, p. II. Sullivan, took him to
Europe last June, and he returned
aboard the Imperator on July 16, since
which time he alternatively lived at the
