\. O. Ferguson reported that on &C
count Of bad roads, the survey Of Grand
Isle county has not yet been completed.
but the committee, of which he is chair
man, have arranged with the Rutland
railroad to visit Grand Isle next Tuesday.
to investigate conditions with regard to
the proposed packing house and cold stor-
age plant. Mr.. Ferguson thought that
the apple evaporating industry would
probably be located here. with the cold
storage facilities in the islands.
y special feature of the plan IL the
scheme for a campaign of education in tn.
possibilities OF the section for fruit grow
ing and the methods to be employed. Mr..

that will lead them to be Interested in
nursery and home industries. to remain
ON the farm. and to seek the higher agri-
cultural education offered by the state
Of Vermont. BY acquainting the children
with the possibilities of t,eir native soil,
ana inspiring them to the development of
Us resources, 1t IS expected that these re-
suits will be attained.
II the idea warrants. 1t IS planned to
nave a cold storage plant near the rail-
ROAD with three or four acres Of land
adjoining. When the plan for Grand Isle
county Is fully worked out the POSSIBLE
ties in Chittenden county are to be taken
up. Mr.. Ferguson said that the Cana
dian government gives 80 per cent. OF
the cost Of a cold storage plant wherever
one is built in a section not already
provided with competing facilities. and
it was suggested that the State of Yer
mont might be willing to aid the in
dustry here.
