VERMONT FARMERS PRAISED.
For Doing Their Bit in the War Prepar-
atoms.

Burlington, Dec. l2.-The 18th annual
meeting OF the Vermont state grange
began three days sessions in this city
yesterday. The principal business OF
the afternoon was the annual address OF
Worthy Master W. N. Cady of Middle
bury and the submission OF various re.
ports.
Mr.. Cady stated that the farmers of
the United States had responded nobly
to the call for increased food produc-
ton and by observing long hours and
hard work with dscouraging weather
conditions and shortage of labor have
produced an immense amount of food
crops. Vermont has done her share
in this work, he said, and when the gov
eminent called for money the farmers
responded according TO their ability.
Many of Vermont's subordinate and Po-
mona oranges subscribed for Liberty
bonds. When the first call for money
was made the executive committee of
the state grange met and invested $l0,-
900 OF grange funds in Liberty bonds
although this meant a shrinkage OF the
oranges income. Nearly every grange
in the state has sent one or more of its
members into the military service He
paid high tribute to the press OF the
state.
Mr. Cady said that since its organi-
cation the grange has taken definite
stand on the question of temperance, al
ways maintaining that the curse of in
temperance should be driven from the
land. we" he said, have come to see
that the only way in which this can he
done is by national prohibition of the
and sale of intoxicating
liquor as beverage" In connection with
the question of constitutional amend
ment on the subject he said that each
of the grange ought to be ready
to do his or her part in the campaign.
1t developed in reports that the grange
has membership of 10000 in 1873 sub
ordinate oranges The total receipts of
the state grange for the year were ST. |
300 and there is a considerable sum in
The treasury. There are about 400 dele
gates in attendance.
