It provides that every polling place in the Territory shall be provided with sufficient number of booths or screens wherein the vot- CT shall mark his ballot.

OF The Associated Press.-An accident

Mapplebeck, d. S. o., was dashed to
earth recently while testing new

Captain Mapplebeck, Liverpool

and received his commission only
about six months before the outbreak
of the war, after finishing a course at
Hendon.
1t was on August 13 of last year that
young Mapplebeck flew over to France

Better Marketing for Vermont.
burlington Free Press.)

The Free Press has long urged that
one of the prime needs of Vermont
farmers was an organized movement
for the promotion of more effective
methods of marketing. 1t is one thing
to raise abundant crops; it is altogcth-
err another thing to sell those products
at a profit and to the best advantage.
As a means to this end we. arc glad to
say that Commissioner of Agriculture
L. S. Brigham is doing splendid work,
in which he is aided by his own per-
Sonal experience and success in gaining
u nationwide market for potatoes by
establishing a certain standard of eX-
cellenee and securing wide distribution
for his product, especially for seed pur-
poses. ...-..
State Commissioner Brigham has
been working also for the establishing
of n state brand for butter. as means
to secures better markets for Vermont
dairies. In relation to his splendid serv,
ice in this direction the Butter, Cheese
and Egg Journal says:
| Estate Commissioner of Agriculture
| z. S. Brigham of Vermont is much in
earnest in his efforts to have the farm
ers of that state adopt a state brand
| for their butter and we believe should
be supported in his efforts. Vermont
| is the leading dairy state Of New Eng
land, it producing 20, 227,495 pounds OF
creamery butter each year to 100000
| pounds for all the rest Of New Eng
land. 1t also makes more dairy buttei
than the rest of New England, but the
figures are not at hand. Mr.. Brigham
states that the dairy cows Of Vernon
earn from 100000 to $2O,00G,o0C
per year. Assume that half way be
tween these figures is the eorrec
amount and it shows the Importance o
the dairy industry to the state.
- Mr.. Brigham proposes this plan 70
improving Vermont butter
owe can only improve conditions b,
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-09-18

devising a system whereby those who
participate in the production and man
ufacture of butter, both farmers and
creamery men, may receive a reward
for careful work. As solution to this
problem we should adopt a brand, safe
guarded by Legislation and bearing the
seal of the state of Vermont, which
creameries complying with regulations
prescribed by the commissioner of aeri-
culture viii be allowed to use.
Denmark and Holland have given
their dairy products worldwide repu-
tation by the adoption of a govern
ment brand. In this country the state
of Minnesota has adopted brand, and
the states of Iowa and South Dakota
are about to do so. The requirements
for the use OF the brand are chiefly as
follows:
| 81. Score of butter to be 81 nine
times out of u at q scoring conducted
by the state agricultural college
''2. Score of butter never to be be
''3. Factory to score 90 or better.
| ca Farm dairies to score go points
according to score cards provided by
the commissioner Of agriculture
"5. Cream pasteurized in accord
ance with directions.
"6. Cream received must be- sweet
and shall not test over two per cent
acid
81. Neutralizers not allowed
IS. When license is granted, list OF
patrons must be furnished with ad
dress.
80. Factory must report numbers Of
pounds manufactured each month.
"10. Brand to be used only at fac
tory.
"11. representative of the com
missioner of agriculture to be allowed
, access to the creamery at any time fo
purposes of inspection, supervision o
testing of cream or milk samples, o
examination of accounts
" Compliance with these demand
would undoubtedly add millions of dol
: lars to the farmers incomes and plac
! Vermont even higher than it nov
stands among the dairying states of tn
5 Union. 1t is tenth today in the pre-
duction of butter and cheese, but
can easily gain higher place by max

= bic. To make butter good enough 70
: the state brand would surely increas
the demand and the profits on We
mont butter.
Commissioner Brigham has gone ia
enough in Ethe work Of marketing 5
that he is Satisfied the system outline
will accomplish a great service for We
D mont dairy. interests. The require
ments for the use OF state bran
would be guaranty to the public
sanitary standards as well as of oth'
good qualities, and it would enable da
- ries complying with the conditions ne
essary to secure the privilege of usif
it a special price regardless of Il
competition of foreign butter.
