AGAINST COMMISSION
CONSOLIDATION

The following letter has been sent
to each memebr Of the Vermont Legis-
lature by the American Forestry
Association located at Washington,
and should be read by all who are IN
an ways interested in the forestry
problems in Vermont.
'1n a previous letter we have at
tempted to point out that 'hc consoli-
dation of Agriculture and Forestry as
proposed in Vermont is not truly an
economy measure, The American
Forestry Association has $4,000 mem
bcrs scattered throughout the country,
who are vitally interested in the adj
vancemcnt Of forestry A blow to the
work in one state, especially one which
has been considered so advanced as
Vermont, is felt deeply BY all.

The powers and duties Of the State
Forester arc described at length, but
when ono studies il carefully he finds
that the Commissioner Of Agriculture,
a man who presumably knows nothing
Of forestry, is % bc the state forester.
The bin says that the Commissioner
may appoint technically trained
forester as deputy. He may appoint
other assistants, and it naturally oc
ours to one acquainted with legislative
matters that the bill may be drawn IN
the interest Of someone looking for
this position, who is not technically
trained forester II should at least
say: The Commissioner 'shalP appoint
a technically trained forester as dep
uty.'
Even under such a law we can inn
agine that Vermont will have difficulty
In getting rs efficient a forester as i
could If forestry were maintained CO.

two things in which every forester is j
more interested than salary, although .

be accomplished in forestry in two
years; very little in four years. The
forester wants, first Of all results. and

an opportunity to develop his own pol.

THE Commissioner Of Agriculture
in Vermont Is appointed BY the Gov
ernor, and the Governor is changed
every two years. There is no civil
service. hence a forestry deputy may
be dismissed II he gains the dislike of
either Governor or Commissioner A
first class forester will be wary about
leaving a position in the Government
or elsewhere to take such a precarious
post
"A forester working under a Com
missioner Of Agriculture, would find
himself controlled by a superior whose
interest is of necessity divided be-
tween several lines Of work II he is
Indifferent TO forestry there is no APP
peal. Paralysis Of initiative follows,
and the forester becomes discouraged
and either sinks TO the position Of
routine clerk, or resigns 10 be replaced

man.

there may not be any intention under
his bill of employing a technically |

MILK CAMPAIGN IN VERMONT

] 4Iiith NA+li AVN iAN LtA.bONi
Great success has attended the
campaign of the New England Milk
Producers Association since it opened
its state-by-state organizing plan,
The first Of these drives" was made
in New Hampshire. This week the
organizers are in Maine. Next week
will be Vermont's turn and thereafter
one week each will be devoted to the
three southern states Of the group.
Secretary Richard Pattee from his
headquarters in the Myrick Building
in Springfield, Mass, in Offices con
nected with the Eastern States Expo
sition, is directing the campaign, and
expresses much satisfaction with the
progress being made. He freely pre-
diets that at least the milk producers
of New England are to have an asso-
citation big and strong enough to make
itself heard when contracts with dis
tributors in the cities are dealt with,
and that without the usual long con-
tests.
The next meeting of the New Eng
land Association will be held in Bos-
ton, Feb. %, and by that time the
total membership will be well up in
the thousands. For the Vermont cam
paign, which will open next Monday,
Feb. 5th, the state has been laid out
into districts which will fully cover
every county in the first five days of
the week. On Saturday will come the
