Long Field Service Expected.

The time Of actual field service for
the men Of the Vermont National
Guard, now modified at Fort Ethan
Allen, IS likely to be considerably
aOnger than the actual service of the
men who went to the Mexican border
late last June. In all probability they
viii be under arms during the re-
maIlder Of the great war, which al
ready mas run for two years and eight
months because the active participa-
ton of the United States In the war
means that the entire military forces
of the country viii have TO be kept
under arms for the purpose of home
protection even though it should not
De found advisable to send any troops
across the water TO fight side by side
with the British, the French, the ItaI-
lans or the Russians. There seems at
present no convincing indication of
the collapse Of either side IN the war
fare on any front IN Europe, albeit
there are evidences enough that the
combined British and Russian forces
are breaking down the resistance of
the Turkish empire IN Asia Austria
and Bulgaria, too, have given evi-
dence OF q Discrimination to continue
the fighting, but the military spirit of
the German government has not been
appreciabIy diminished despite the
fact Of extended retreat on the west
ern front of Europe and considerable
internal pressure 1t Is certain that
Germany viii hold on with tenacity.
On the other side Great Britain and
France are equally steadfast; and If
Russia and Italy stand by their guns
there Is no doubt that the entente al
lies viii never give IN Therefore It
may reasonably be expected that the
troops of the United States, including
the Vermont National Guard, viii be
kept IN actual service for q long time.

Responsibility for Lack of Sheep

The cry is for sheep and more
sheep. Mutton and wool are IN con-
stantly greater demand. New En-
Gland, o1ce the home Of the sheep
raising industry, has shown steadily
decreasing f3oeks since 1870. Now
the national department Of agrieul-
ture believes that the use Of the COM
bined wool and mutton sheep on New
England farms, the use Of forage
crops for pastures and for lambs, the
production Of early lambs, the pooling
of shipments of wool, and the proper
handling and grading Of the wool viii
make possible the re-estabIishmen OF
the sheep industry IN this section Of
the country The department takes
the view that q decline IN the number
Of sheep IN the country IS more seri-
Gus than a decline IN the number OF
other meat animals, because sheep
produce not only meat but wool-an
indispensable article of clothing for
persons IN temperate climates. Moth
ing IS said about the dog, but If the
department viii look into It, It viii
probably find that the predatory cur
IS responsible for the fact that there
are SO few sheep in Vermont today

Sugar Exchange Men
To See Hoover To-day

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia commit
tee representing the New York Sugar
Exchange will confer with Herbert c.
Hoover tomorrow regarding the steps
contemplated by the Food Administra-
ton in controlling sugar. II is expect
ed that Mr.. Hoover will emphasize the
point he has already made to the Sugar
Exchange that the food administration
will not countenance speculation.
Whether he will give notice Of actual
control measures is not yet clear. 1t
was said at the Food Administration
tonight that Mr. Hoover had not yet
formulated plans in connection with
handling the sugar situation.
The food controller devoted practi-
cally all his time last week to the con-
sideration Of wheat problems, it was
stated. 1t is therefore probable that
he will merely invite n statement of
the views of the Sugar Exchange repre-
sentatives tomorrow, as has been his
practice in dealing with other ques-
tons. He will probably also invite
into consultation both growers and re-
fners before the final sugar control
measures are determined.
One control measure which has beer
expected for nearly two weeks is the
addition of sugar TO the list of COM
modities under export license control
II is considered probable that both cot
ton and sugar will be added to this list
during the next week.

Party Whip Swung
For Whitman Bill
Chairman Glynn Demands
Committeeman Line UP for
Food Programme
lsn,cL.l corrsspondsacel

ALBANY. Aug. l9.-Realizing that
the opposition of the farmers 10 food
control legislation is even greater than
was expected last week, Governor
Whitman, through George A. Glynn'
his executive auditor, has ordered the
Republican state committeeman TO get
the legislators from their districts IN
line for the food control programme
he expects to put through at the extra
session of the Legislature. Chairman
Glynn has made it known TO the com
mitteemen that they will be held &C
countable for the votes OF their legis-
lators.
Chairman Glynn has expressed con-
idence that the campaign carried on
through the state committee, as wei
as the publicity campaign conducted
by George W. Perkins through up
state newspapers. will bring enough
upstate Assemblymen around TO pass
the Governors compromise bill. Inc
Whitman men declare that defeat oil
the food programme of the Chief EX-
ecutive would be disastrous to the Re
publican party. They believe that II
would do more than anything else TO
ieopardize the chances of an election
of a Republican Governor year from
next fall. With arguments OF TINS
sort they have convinced such men as
Francis Hendricks, of Syracuse, and
George W. Aldridge, of Rochester, that
il is TO their best interests to back
the Governor.
The Governors friends look upon
the fight made by the rural Assem-
blymen as plot Matched by cold
storage lobbyists, and they declare that
il has worked hand in hand with the
efforts of certain "Old Guard men 10
restore to power the Old Guard regime
in this state" The discovery that Sam
uel Fraser, who is known to have lined
up the farmers against any food con-
troll legislation, formerly had charge
Of the immense farm lands of James
". Wadsworth. sr, in Livingston
County, has given weight to this con-
tention.
Next Wednesday is the date set for
the return Of the Legislature to talse
I'D the food legislation. If Mr.. Per-
kins were eliminated as the probable
appointee for head of the proposed
food control commission. a food bill
might be passed without much diff
Guilty. but. so far as is known, Gov
ernor Whitman still insists upon nam
ing him. The result is that the fight
against food legislation is still TO be
reckoned with.

Lenders and borrowers on real es-

with fatherirg such a bill, issued for

"Thc only action | have taken IN the
matter" said Senator Ottinger, was
to suggest that the prosecution OF fore

the war. II was meant to apply only
10 the principal debt and in no sense
TO a failure to pay interest or taxes.

Move to Teach Food
Raising and Saving
Agricultural Department Will
Put Agents on Farms
and in Cities

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Plans have
been made to expand Immediately the
cooperative extension work OF the
United States Department of Agricult-
ure and the state agricultural colleges
by large increase in the number OF
county agricultural agents and home
demonstration agents. Women agents
will be placed for the first time in the
larger towns and cities.
The appointments are to be made on
the recommendation of the director OF

Approximately | 400 men agents and
500 women agents are at present en-
played.
The plans contemplate the extension
of the men county agent work TO all the
rural counties of the Union and the
placing of an additional agent in some
of the larger counties already organ
lied. They also contemplate a consid-
cradle increase in the number of women
agents.
The use of city agents is something
new. The city demonstration work will
be carried on by women agents, who
will cooperate with the existing wom-
ems organizations.
The aim of the extension work is to
carry directly to as many people as
possible information in regard 10
proved methods of agricultural produc-
tion and nome economics. Economy in
the purchase and use of food and meth
DDS of food conservation by canning,
drying, ETC., will be emphasized.
The men county agents are concerned
chiefly with agricultural production,
while the women are employed in DEM
onstraton work in home economics.
