PRELIMINARY SURVEY MADE
The committee has made preliminary
survey of what is now actually being
done in New England agriculture. This
shows that, generally speaking. the state
departments of agriculture, State col
legcs, experiment stations and private
agencies are perhaps covering the field
Of experimentation and production very
we'll. hut that there has been very little
done in the way of improving Transports
ton facilities, distribution and market
ing. These with the change of attitude
in regard to the possibilities in New
England farming, are the greatest prob
lens that confront New England agri-
culture to-day.
The committee will not undertake to do
directly constructive work that is now
| being done by existing agencies, but will
work with a llthese agencies to improve
| New England agriculture. 1t will try to
+ secure the cooperation and support OF
the business men and transportation
companies for the development of New
England agriculture as a business indus
try. 1t will mostly conilne its activities
| to working out, in cooperation with the
New England lines of railroad State
| and private agencies, some of the mos,
practical problems confronting the farm
ers to-day and will announce its de.
| tailed plans from time to time.

Montpelier, oct G.-Secretary of State
Guy W. Bailey has completed the COM
piling of the returns from the town
clerks made to his office in accordance
with No. 4G of the public acts of 1872,
which required the listers to ascertain
approximately how many maple trees
were tapped, the number of maple trees
not tapped and available, and how many
pounds of maple sugar and how many
gallons of maple syrup We're made by
each person engaged in the manufacture
of maple sugar or syrup during the year.
The act also provided for a census of
the number of horses, mich cows hogs
and other stock for the current year,
and in quadrennia years beginning with
1913, the total number of acres of tillage,
pasture land, orchard land and forest or
woodland.
Returns are in from all excepting 10
towns. The towns which have failed to

lington, Bloomfield Nershire, Derby,
Warren, PutneY Cavendish and Walden.
This is the first census of the number
of maple trees tapped and untapped that
are available, which has ever been taken
in this state, and up to this time it has
been a matter of guess as to the number
of maple trees the state contained, The
information was collected by the listers
