IMPROVE VERMONT BUTTER
Statement from Office OF Commission
err of Agriculture

That Vermont butter is not up to
its one time standard of excellence
and that the efforts will be made to
have the dairymen regain their lost
position, is the gist of the following
statement issued from the Office of
the state commissioner of agriculture
Ebert S. Brigham, in this city:
The last legislature passed an act
requiring the inspection of all the
creameries and milk shipping sta
tions in the state at least twice each
year. Commissioner of Agriculture
Brigham applied to the chief of the
dairy division of the department of
agriculture at Washington for assist
ance in drawing up regulations for
the enforcement of this law, so that
il would best serve the dairy interest
OF the state. The chief of the dairy
division sent S. C. Thompson, who
is in charge of dairy manufacturing
Investigations of that division, to Yer
mont to advise Commissioner Brig
ham regarding the administration of
the law.
1t was the opinion of Mr.. Thomp-
son, who is familiar with Vermont
creamery conditions, that the quail
ty of Vermont butter, which used to
be the standard of excellence, has
within the past few years fallen be-
low the standard of other states. In
order to improve this condition Mr..

of an inspector who is an expert
creameryman and who is qualified to
make a study of all the conditions
which effect the quality of dairy pro
ducts.
The expense of employing such an
inspector was beyond the resources
of the state department of agricul-
ture, so Commissioner Brigham COM
bined with Dean Hills of the college
of agriculture making arrangements
so that the inspector will be employ
ed four months of the year in dairy
school and extension work in con-
nection with the university.
After long search w. Il. Ayres,
of Berne, New York, was induced to
come to Vermont and undertake this
work. Mr. Aver is a graduate of the
Cornell Dairy School and was for five
years an instructor in that school
After leaving Cornell Dairy School
he entered the department of agri-
culture of the state of New York as
creamery and milk inspector and has
had some years Experience in that de-
partment in the same work which he
will have to do here in Vermont.
Commissioner Huson, of New York
hesitated to release Mr. Ayres from
his staff but did so in consideration
of the fact that Vermont has great
err need of his services in the admin
istration of its new Creamery inspec-
ton law. Mr. Ayres began his work
creamerymen in remedying adverse
tour of the creameries as soon as
possible 1t is the intention of Com
missioner Brigham to administer the
law in such a way that no undue
hardship will be worked TO any inter
est, but first to ascertain the facts as
to why Vermont dairy products have
fallen off in quality and having
found out the reasons, to obtain the
cooperation of the dairymen and
creameryment in remedying adverse

BUFFALO, N. L., May 6.-Drivers,
depot men and others employed by
the express companies here, went on
strike today. The men say that 1t is
a purely protective measure" They
claim that sixty Of their number were
discharged yesterday for wearing but,
tons of their newly organized union.
The number out is about five hundred,
sufficient, the men say, to tie up every
express company in the city. The
companies affected are the Wells

Adams and National.
The strike, it is feared, will seri-
ously interfere with the transportation
of food stuffs both to surrounding
towns and in the city. Thousands or
loaves of bread are shipped daily to
points in western New York, many
towns depending almost entirely upon
the Buffalo bakeries. OF the incoming
supplies, milk is the most important.
Many of the dairies have their own
wagons, but the express companies
carry large supply
A wagon carrying about 100 large
hampers of bread was turned back
from the Lehigh Valley railroad de-
pot early today, A gang of 20 pick
cts stopped the wagon and directed
the driver to return the load to the
bakery.
