Food Production Facts.
y Barton Monitor

Barton Monitor
Most Vermont farmers aver that they
cannot raise the necessary grains for
stock feeding on their own land. This
is probably true to some extent, yet
those who have given the subject most
study believe the amount raised could
be greatly Increased.
y glance at government statistics
for the Feed bills of the Vermont farm
er is rather startling, and the editor
finds that the Orleans county farmer is
the greatest purchaser Of foreign grown
feeds in the state. Per farm and pei
COW the farmers of Orleans county pur
chase more feed than any other coun
ttv in Vermont The last available fig
urcs are for 1909 and show that tbs
grain bill on 200 Orleans county farms
was more than half million dollar:
lvcarlv-to he exact. 500, 765. This j,
| a daily feed bill approXimatiHg $500
i Vet one Orleans county farmer toll,
+ the Monitor within a few days tina
he produced all the feed he used cx
lccpt cottonsecd meal. This man is
prosperous farmer on u good average
% to 80 cow farm and is not more ia
,yorably located for raising grains thar
most Of our farmers.
The Monitor has no expert advic
to give but does believe more feed coul,
be raised by Vermont farmers and cs
pcciallv by Orleans county farmers.
An encouraging sign among the farm
els Of this locality is the tendency t
grow wheat and it is rumored that on
or more wheat mills are to be Unstable
lin this county.
1t may be the extremely high price
of all grain products was the one thin
that would awaken the farmers Of tC
: day to the possibilities Of produein
more for themselves in the way o
, grains.

WORD FROM PARIS
 ID OLOCAL RED CROSS
Lstters of Appreciation for Ari'
 cles Sent to the Wounded

Now that the Red Cross campaign has been brought to 50 successful . close, the war relief committed feels that the people. who have contributed 50 generously would be interested to know about the organisation. ad- ministratioh and plans for the future Obviously this concerns the whole people.
 The splendid action of William H. Hart in giving his house on Court street to be the Red Cross headQuar- ters deserves the recognition and the gratitude of every Red Cross member and every citizen. The adequate and convenient quarters thus pro- vided are greatly appreciated and the activities can be carried on with greater efficiency and magnitude than ever before.
 The local war relief committee Is now organized with a chairman, a secretary and an executive committee which consists of the heads of all de- partments. The executive commit tee meets weekly and votes upon the work. All goods are purchased with the approval of the executive com mtttee and all bills contracted are ap- proved by the buying committee and then by President Brooks and Treas- urer ;Hsaley of the New Britain Chapter. The aim of the war relief commit tee will be to supply those articles for
