MILK PRODUCERS
OF COUNTY MEET.
Discuss Labor and Other Problems
Confronting Farmer and Show
Benefits of Association.

A meeting Of the Orleans county
members of the New England Milk
Producers association was held at
Orleans Monday afternoon. Though
the attendance was not large there
were representatives from different
parts of the county present.
E. S. Kelley of Bloomington, at the
head of the county organization, pre-
sided. Statements were read from
Headquarters of the association, from
individuals and Agricultural Commits
sioner Brigham of Vermont. Through
1T all ran a patriotic appeal for pro-
duction which has been urged by
many organizations and individuals
before.
A discussion of the feed problems,
the price of milk and the benefits of
the association to its members and
the dairy cause as a whole, was held
and it brought out that the farmers
Of Orleans county purchase more
feed per capita and per cow than the
farmers of any other county IN Yer
mont.
F. j. Libby and E. K Connell of
Newport were both present and con-
ditions in the north end of the county
as to milk, cream, butter and feed
prices were compared. 1t was shown
without question the great benefit the
association has been to the farmer IN
obtaining better milk prices and it
was argued more farmers should join
and help along a splendid and grow
ing cause.
County Agent Johnson said that
any farmer wanting help and SO stat
ing to him, giving number of men
wanted and the price he would pay,
might be aided within few days. by
the survey Of factory hands and stu
dents, who have had farm training
and were available to assist during
crop time. No definite promises are
made but there is no cost in making
application to Mr.. Johnson. He said
five college men had already been
placed on farms in this county.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in the present crisis
it is the patriotic duty of every farm
er to make his farm as largely as
possible self-supporting, to retain his
dairy cattle and raise the feed neces-
sary for their maintenance.
Resolved, That banks, business
men, public authorities and others
shall cooperate with the farmer in
every practical way in keeping or
the farms the dairy8 herds of New
England.
Resolved, That the Boston Cham
Der of Commerce and similar organ
izations should do everything in their
power to enable New England dairy
farmers to procure at a fair and rea-
sonable price the feed stuff impossi-
bic to be raised on our farms but ne
cessary to be had to retain our herds
in producing condition.
Resolved, That we believe the
grain now used for the production OF
malt and distilled liquors could be
more advantageously employed in
feeding our dairy cattle and we de-
mand such action as will make this
supply available for that purpose.
Resolved, That we will do every
possible thing to maintain an ade-
quate supply Of wholesome dairy
products for New England consump-
tion at price as low as is consistent
with efficient production.

FISTIING.

afternoon.
FISHING.
Fishing is a very nice thing to do.
When people go fishing they usually
take a fishline and also a fishhook
and go out where there is some water
and fish. Others do not. People
most always go fishing after the ice
is thawed out because the fish do not
bite very well in the winter. Fishing
is a very dangerous occupation al
thought it is a decidedly healthy way
of spending ones time.
The physical exercise obtained
from this work is very beneficial in
developing ones muscles and is con-
sidered by some critics equal to mill
tary training and a long way ahead
of football.
Fish are rather queer animals.
Sometimes they will bite and then
sometimes they won't. l guess it de-
pends somewhat upon the bait, al
though almost everyone uses fish
worms, which they obtain by digging
into the earth. The worms are
from two to six inches in length and
are very slender and delicate in ap-
pearance. / believe it is an accepted
fact that fish bite better in rainy
weather. ! don't know why this is
true.
Besides being healthful and dan
gerOus, fishing is also a very pleas
ant sport. There are many different
varieties of bugs and insects that fre-
quent fishing resorts and although
they do not add to the enjoyment to
any great extent they serve as COM
pany The best known of this family
is the mosquito, which is always pres
ent. Frequently, one has the fortune
while fishing, to come in contact with
different kinds of snakes. Whether
or not a person is naturally fond Of
snakes will greatly determine the
pleasure the person is likely to de-
rive from such meetings.
In conclusion, / thiLk it would be
well to add, that if anyone wants to
catch a lot of fish he must be very
tactful-that is, quiet and unobtru-
sive, for a fish is just as sure not to
bite as anything, if he hears a noise.
Therefore, if there is anyone who has
never been fishing l should advise
him to do so, without delay, as it
will add greatly to his natural ability
and also to his health.

Major Writes of PiIlsbury's Death.


A letter was received within few
DAYS from Major F'ilson of the British
army medical corps of which f. ii.
Pillsbury was member, from which
the Monitor quotes. The letter was
dated at Whitley Camps, Surrey, En-
gland, April II and says: 1t seems
indeed a very deplorable fact that
this death should have occurred, but
we must al trust in the wisdom Of q
Superior Being. Pie. Pillsbury was
taken suddenly i'll on the night of
Saturday, April IA and was at once
taken to the hospital in Aldershot.
His condition was serious but the
next day and Monday he seemed to
improve so that our hopes were
raised, but the disease, meningitis,
was too much for the poor fellow and
he passed away early this morning.
eve all held Pie. Pillsbury in the
highest esteem. Since joining our
unit he has proven himself in every
way a thorough gentleman and a
frst-class soldier. He was reliability
personifed and in his death the "ser-
vice" and more particularly our unit
has lost one of it's best men.
''He died as a man, in doing that
which he felt to be his duty. He is no
less a hero than any of our fine lads
who have fallen on the fields of Flan-
ders.
"He will be buried Thursday after
noon, April 10, at Lark Hill Canadian
cemetery, near Aldershot. A repre-
sentation from our unit will go down
to attend the funeral.
"Sincerely,
''R M Filson, Major A. M. c.,
Cd. C. No. Is, Canadian Field Am
bulance" !"
