WINTER is TIME TO STUDY
SILOS.

The winter is the time to
study out the silo problem. If
anyone is interested, and the ex-
perience with frost this fall
gives ground for interest on the
part of everyone who grows
corn, valuable information may
be had by writing to the agri-
cultural extension division of
the University of Minnesota,
University Farm, St. Paul, for
a copy of Institute Annual No.
27, enclosing ten cents to cover
the cost of postage. This and
other material at the disposal of
the extension division are at the
disposal of the farmers of Min

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Of US are afraid to put even q

WORLDS FOOD
SUPPLY DEPLETED.
Rain Keeps Farmers from Mass
Meeting at Newport Where Crop
Problems Were Discussed.

Yesterdays rain kept the farmers
of the county from attending the
meeting at Newport yesterday in
large numbers.
The meeting was held by the ex-
tension service of the University of
Vermont and the county agricultural
association in school hall and G. w.
Richmond presided. The Newport
high school students and upper grade
pupils were present and all were in
structed by the address of Dean Hills
of the agricultural college at Bur
ington
Mr.. Hills said it was brought out
at a conference he attended at which
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
was present that the food supply of
the world was never SO low as at
present. He said this country raised
last year six bushels of wheat per
capita while we consumed six and
one half bushels per capita, which
fact with the expectations practically
exhausted the surplus of the previ-
GUS year when 10 bushels per capita
was raised
In very forceful way Prof. Hills
showed that the service of the farm
er was just as essential and just as
patriotic as the service of the soldier
and advised raising crops about
which we know, that is, wasting no
time or energy on experimental crops
but to raise staple crops, such as po-
tatoes, oats, barley, beans and ad-
vised putting in wheat.
AS for the meat supply, Dean Hills
advised the raising of "quick" meats,
that is poultry and hogs These
meats were quickest raised. AS to
the labor problem he said men above
military age, men of military age
who were physically unfit for service
and school and college boys were the
only answer except as machines
might be utilized He spoke of a pro-
posed draft of men for farm service
and said he was to attend a meeting
In Washington this week where this
subject was to be considered.
The women were urged to serve
economically and save Ten dollars
per capita is dumped into the gar
bage pals of this nation each year.
In closing he urged that each family
make itself sef-sustaining SO far as
possible.
County Agent johnson spoke on
efficiency of production In the sense
Of testing seeds, disinfecting for
rust and scab and thoroughly caring
for all crops PIT in. He E15nted out
the folly Of working, seeding and
harvesting ten acres when five acres
intensely cultivated and cared for
would produce the same amount of
crops.
Another point was that of keeping
all available machinery busy A po-
tate planter or other tool should not
be considered private property this
year but a community implement and
it's use planned. Community pur-
chasing was. also advised in certain
instant eS
W w True also spoke of the
acuteness of the situation and the
need of everyone producing.

Mary G. DuttOn.

Mrs. Mary G. Dutton, one of the
oldest residents of Barton, died at the
home of her niece, Mrs. Ardella Bald
win Mathews, in Roxbury, Mass, on
Thursday, April 26, after an illness
of FIVE days, the immediate cause be-
ing pneumonia.
She was born in Strafford on Oct.
z, 1888, daughter Of DR.. Eleazer Bald
win and Polly Ladd, the youngest of
nine children. On Aug. so, 1854, she
married Edward F. Dutton of Royal
ton and in 1856 they moved to Bar
ton, coming by team, as at that time
the railroad did not extend north of
White River Junction. Mr.. Dutton
was engaged an the mill business
here, later lived on the farm known
as the Case farm, and afterward
bought the drug business of Myron
Joslyn. To them was born one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Altha Dutton Pierce, who
died in November, 1916.
Mr.. Dutton died in 1907, after So
years of happy welded life. The liv-
ing near relatives are Fred d. Pierce,
grandson, and Mrs. A. d. Chandler of
Orleans who is the last of the nine
children of Dr. and Mrs. Baldwin.
Mrs. Dutton was a highly cultured
woman, gentle and sweet in disposi-
ton and beautiful in character. She
had not grown old with years and
was as much a favorite with the
younger people of Barton as with the
older ones. She was remarkably ac-
tive for one of her years and was al
ways interested for the good of the
community.
The end came as her life had been,
quietly and peacefully, with full con-
fidence in the future and what it held
in store for her.
The funeral was held from her late
residence on Sunday, Rev. w. A.
Warner officiating.

One hundred and one men enlisted
in the navy in April at the Vermont
recruiting Office located in Burling-
ton. This is a poor showing, the
Vermont district showing a smaller
number of enlistments than any 9th

When his petition for a new trial
was refused in Vermont supreme
court at Montpelier yesterday and
the respondent was asked if he had
anything to say, George Warner, con-
victed in Windsor county court of
murder in the death of one Virgins,
made open accusation that he had
been neglected by his attorney, Bick-
nell, and that he had not been given
a fair trial for that reason. He.
therefore, asked the supreme court
that he be given another trial so that
he could be defended by a new law
yer. After the man had finished with
his statement, Judge Powers read the
sentence, which was that Warner be
confined in the state prison, that for
30 days prior to July 1, 1919, he be
kept in strict confinement and that
during the week of July 1, 1919. he
be electrocuted. Warner then asked
the judge to repeat the date on which
his electrocution was set, whereupon
the judge responded, and Warner in
that by that time he would
not be living, saying: "By that time
[ shall be worn out"

The freshman reception took place
at Alumni hall April oath. The guests
masked and unmasked, arrived early
and the promenading began. Evil
IDENTIFY uncertainty as to the identity
of ones partner lent zest to the oc-
casion for the masked proms were ex-
tremely lively Clowns, nurses, flow
er girls, farmers, sailors, Indians,
movie favorites, minister, nun,
dashing western girls and many un-
classified figures mingled without re-
spect of persons. The judges decid-
ed that the costumes of one of the
flower girls was the best of the girls
and a tall COW "girl" was the best
looking gentleman present. A lady
in a high black bonnet and black
gown won the prize as the most ludi-
crous lady, while Sitting Bull" was
the funniest among the boys. The
entertainment consisted of a mock
wedding, an Indian dance and a read
ing. The poor bride wept bitterly
upon entering into the Everlasting
deadlock" and she had the sympathy
of many of the spectators but those
who knew her better were inclined to
reserve their sympathies for the fu-
ture needs of the groom. The Indian
dancer, accompanied by a tom-tom.
gave an exhibition of the famous iov-
dance of the Croix Indians. Any who
may doubt that it is an authentic re-
production has only to confer with
some authority on the subject. "A
Little Green Peach" was read in q
most realistic manner and even the
reader herself could not restrain her
tears when the sad fate of Johnny
and Sue Jones was reached. Refresh
ments of punch, waters and candy
were served during the evening. The
promenading and dancing was great
Iy enjoyed by yeveryone and the guests
went home tired but happy. The
freshmen have every reason to feel
satisfied with the success of their first
reception.
