Cows Decreasing in Vermont.

Representatives from the agricultur-
al departments, state colleges and
state oranges from the six New
England statesin conference with the
committee on agriculture of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce adopted plans
for survey of the New England milk
situation with reference to the prob
lens of production, transportation
and distribution by hearings to be
held in each state beginning the first
of August, the result of these hearings
to be published and distributed in an
endeavor to educate both producer and
consumer to proper understanding of
the conditions that exist.
Representatives from each state
pledged their support and cooperation
in this movement. which it is hoped
will establish facts upon which can be
based reforms in the great milk indus
try, which will in turn put the pro-
Queer of milk on firm business basis
and give the consumer the kind of
milk he ought to have, and will also
arrest the great decrease which has
been evident during the past ten years
in number of COWS and in the industry
as whole. Ebert S. Brigham, COM
missioner of agriculture of Vermont,
who was present said: From 1879 to
1909 the cow population Of Vermont
decreased 1900 and this fact of itself
shows that we need this kind of in
vestigation. The farmers are losing
faith in the industry and going out of
business, and an investigation like this
will do the dairy business great
benefit"
0. L. Martin, representing the Yer
mont state grange, states that he
considered the surest way to prevent
the depopulation of the COW pastures
and consequent decline in the dairy
business in New England, would be
the abolition of the Brighton abattoir.
A number of other persons agreed that
the high price of veal, together with
the greater profit which farmers were
finding in raising hay and sending to
the market instead of raising and milk
ing cows, had a great deal to do with
the present excessive decline in dairy
farming. A laugh was raised when
w. S. Adams, state dairy instructor Of
the state of Maine said: Zone of the
most mysterious things about the dairy
business is that a man can live on a
dairy farm all his life losing money
an yet make a living"

good indeed. and their numbers gave
the large audience much pleasure. The

FARM NEWS AND NOTES
This Department Will Run Every Otter Week
The HAY Crop Will Fall below Normal.

The farmers of this section of
Vermont are practically unanimous in
saving that the hay crop of 1914 will
be a great deal lighter than it was last
wear. and will not be a normal crop.
An effort to get the opinion of the
farm owners as to how much lighter
the crop would be than in 1913 brought
forth the opinion. expressed with
unusual unanimity, that the yield this
season would be one-third less than
last. Fl. L. Winslow of North Claren-
don, wno has begun his harvesting of
this crop. said the hay on all meadows
long unseeded would Undoubtedly be
very unsatisfactory, but thought that
on the newly-seeded land the result
would be different. On the latter sort
of soil he thought the yield would be
quite as large as last year. He will
not ha re completed his harvesting for
a month, and the grass may thicken up
some at the bottom. Drought is the
reason of the slight yield. says Mr..
Winslov, and he is supported by all
the other agricultural authorities con-
suited. Jesse D. Billings OF the town
of Rutland will not fill his barns more
than two-thirds as full as he did j st
wear. he says. John H. Mead. the
proprie 5or of the Marble Valley Stock
farm. West Rutland, will not suffer
greatly from the drought, as most of
his Ian is low meadow, very moist.
and we / restocked He thinks, how
ever. tn at in the highland toward Ira
and M ddletown Springs the loss will
he ore 1t. about the third Of last years
CROP b fore spoken of. Mr.. Mead
believes that if Vermont farmers
ra,,Id< now r,ora alfalfa and clover
the "dry spells" would have less terror
for the II. He says that the custom
of planting alfalfa will grow in favor.
and tn land be helped IN consequence.
Grasshoppers in large quantities nave
lvaled certain sections OF Wlndham
county and many crops have been
practically DESTROYED. In some sec
lions two thirds of the hay crop has
been ruined. Townshend and Newfane
have suffered. Wilson Winches ter of
Newfane has lost most of his potatoes
and hay. He does not expect to get
but few loads of hay from 70 acres
of meadow land The Howe brothers
in Brooklin have had large portion Of
their hay crop destroyed. Earl Davis
and Arthur Railway. who own large
farm about a mile north of Newfane
village. have suffered much damage
from the pest. In Townshend one
farmer, who has 40 to SO acres of
meadow land, has, been obliged to
purchase hay standing on other farms
as nearly all of his crop has been de-
stroyed. East Putney and Westmin-
ster are also badly infested, F. L. Pond
of East Putney having had oats. corn
and garden destroyed by the pest.
