VERMONT FARM STATISTICS.

Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey
mas completed the compiling of the
returns from the town clerks, made to
his office in accordance with No. 46
of the acts of 1912, which requires the
listers to ascertain approximately how
many trees were tapped, the number
of maple trees not tapped and avail
able, and how many pounds of maple
sugar and how many gallons of maple
syrup were made by each person en-
gagged in the manufacture Of maple
syrup during the year The act also
provides for a census of the number of
horses. mich COWS. hogs and other
stock for the current year, and, in
quadrennial years beginning with 1918,
the total number Of acres of tillage,
pasture land, orchard land and forest
or woodland.
Returns have been received from ali
but ten towns, the towns which have
failed to report being Dorset, South
Burlington, Bloomfield, Vershire, Der
by, Warren, Putney, Cavendish and
Walden.
This is the first census of the
number of maple trees tapped and
untapped but available, which has
been taken in this state, and up to this
time it has been a matter Of guess as
to the number of maple trees in the
state. The information was collected
by the listers who reported to the
town clerks, who then made returns to
the secretary of state.
According to the statistics furnished
the three towns making the most
maple sugar are Cambridge, Mont
gomery and Greensboro.
A summary of the census of the
entire state follows:
