FLOUR FROM VT. WHEAT
Opportunity in Burlington for Farmers
to Market Product.

A considerable acreage Of wheat has
been grown In Vermont this season, and
excellent reports of the crop come from
various parts of the State. The total
quantity that will be harvested 1t is eX-
pected. will be large. One of the many
questions that Is before the farmer Is
where they can sell their wheat or get
It milled for flour. In the west farmers
universally take their wheat to the ele-
vators which are located at almost every
shipping point and there it is duly graded
md a price put upon 1t in accordance with
the market. There are of course, few, II
any, such opportunities in Vermont. as not
enough wheat heretofore has been raised
to call for these facilities. The county
agricultural agents in the State have
shown great interest in the question, as
have the men connected with the State
Agricultural college.
A letter sent out by j. w. Dana. agent
for Chittenden Cunty Farmers associa-
ton explains the situation so far as Chit
tenden county is concerned. The Matted
Cereals company of this city have a mill
fully equipped for handling the wheat
that is grown in this section and will also
purchase such surplus quantities as the
growers may not desire to have made into
flour for their own use. An extract from
Mr.. Danas letter follows:
Last spring when farmers were sowing
wheat. one question which continually
came up was as to where the grain could
be milled. The nearest mill to Burlington
of which know was at Vergennes How
ever, a short time ago l found that the
Matted Cereals company of Burlington
had full equipment for making flour. and
! was invited to visit their plant.
They have an up-to-date equipment. 1t
Is of capacity to mill at leasts 100 bushels
of wheat a day. They could make flour
for customers one or two days a week
They would also be glad to purchase Ver-
mont wheat for use In the manufacture Of
their products They would grind wheat
for 20 cents bushel. II this interests you.
please let me know so that / can make
some estimate as to the amount of wheat
that is available. II you are raising wheat
this season please advise me what acre
age you have grown and your estimate of
the probable crop.
"Would you wish the Matted Cereals
company to mill It for you?
would you care to sell any part OF your
crop to that company"

CHARLES CR|TCHL0W ASU|CIO|
Act Attributed to Continued Ill.
Health and Dependency.
Deed Committed with a shotgun, the
Muxxxle Of Which the Determined
Man Placed in His
Mouth.

Charles Critchlow of Is Park street, 70
years Of age, shot and killed himself Sat-
urday noon.
The act was committed in a bedroom at
the home of his daughter. Mrs. Orion e.
Barber. where the suicide resided. The
man used a shotgun Of small bore, and
the discharge entered his mouth. some OF
the shot coming out at the back of the
head.
Ill-health is given as the cause of Mr..
Critchlow's act. 1t was said at the home
Saturday evening that the suicide had
the grip year ago and that he had new
err been himself since He was a hunter of
considerable reputation and the fact that
this was the first year that he had been
unable to take his yearly trip into the
woods in search of game was believed to
be an added reason for weakening the
mans mind, as he brooded on this thought
daily.
Mr.. Critchlow went for a drive Satur-
day morning, and he said that he was
feeling fine upon his return. Later, he re-
tired to his room and was not seen again
till his daughter found the body.
Mrs. Barber said she heard the shot.
but believed it to be due to an explosion
of ar automobile tire in the park. At the
time the woman heard the report she was
in the yard in conservation with a milk
man. ..t
| Upon finding the body the daughter sum-
! moned DR.. d. A. Shea to the scene. When
DR.. Shea arrived, he discovered that the
man had been dead about two hours. AS
nothing could be done, he Immediately got
into telephone communication with the
health officer. DIR. F. J. Ennis, and Chief
of Police Patrick J. Russell. Both these Of
fcals went Immediately to the Barber
home in DIR. Ennis car After viewing the
remains. the health officer pronounced the
case one of plain suicide.
The dead man is survived by four daugh-
| ters and son.
| The funeral was held from the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Barber, IS Park street, Mon
day afternoon at three O'Clock.

FOR MUNICIPAL MILK PLANT
u. V. M. College of Agriculture
Explains Plan, After Survey.
Would BE Profitable and Cost Only $780,
OOO-would Pasteurixe Milk and
Turn Surplus into Butter
and Cheese.

This city can put up a municipal pas
teurizing plant and creamery at cost
Of $50 900, which would enable producers
to make half a cent quart more on their
milk and save consumers half cent on
the price. Such a plant could be run at
a profit says Prof. G. F. f. Story of the
State university college of agriculture,
and went on to explain the plan outlined
by the college after complete survey
Of the entire market situation in Bur-
lington. Professor Story said such plant
was as logical as municipal water sup
ply system, and 1t was surely coming
sooner or later. as an answer of consum-
ers to the big distributing concerns.
The college of agriculture has investi-
gated local condition from A to z. and
knows whereof it speaks. According to
its plan the plant should be erected some-
where on the Williston road, not far from
the city line. because rs per cent. of this
citys supply comes from that direction.
The plant would not only process" that
Is pasteurize all milk, as soon as possible
after milkings, but clarity it, and keep
1t at such a temperature that being as
clean as possible already, the bacterial
count would remain as low as possible.
The plant would need force Of only six
persons, say. 1t would collect the milk
from the farms by auto truck on the aft
ernoon or evening of the milking, and
carry it at once to the plant. The pro-
ducers would no longer need to get up
at four o'clock in the morning, and drive
a team to and about town upto noon or
later. And consumers would not have to
wait until from nine to II o'clock as many
of them do, for milk taken from cows
the previous day, for the most part. The
producer would not have to carry back
home a quantity of leftover milk, even in
summer when the flow is at it's best, for
the surplus would be made into butter or
cheese, and sold at a fair profit.
Late delivery is due. says Professor
Story, to overlapping Of routes. This not
only causes delay, but allows the milk
meanwhile to deterorate. The college
routed the entire city, including stores as
well as residences. The former in all
parts of the city could be supplied at
once, and serve if necessary as distribut-
ing depots in their own neighborhoods.
PLANT COULD GRADE MILK.
Milk and cream would be graded at the
plant, as soon as received, instead OF
many hours later. when in spite of the
best precautions in the way of cooling
the bacterial count would be greater
Producers of the best milk would be Civ
en- due credit for quality. while dairymer
whose product is inferior would have the
advantage of speedy pasteurization, etc
Milk below fair standard Of richness
cleanliness. etc. would be rejected at once
The city would be saved the expense OF
special tests of milk or cream, and II
would be assured of a more uniformly
high quality of both than it has ever re-
Ceived in the past.

STATE SECRETARY SINCE 100.
Mr.. Clark has been State secretary Of
the Y. M. c. A. since 1909. and has been
connected with Y. NJ. c. A. work In the
State for 13 years, having been at one
time secretary Of the Burlington Y. NJ.
c. A. During his term of service as State
secretary, the boys conferences have been
built up, the seventh one which was held
last January at Burlington being very
largely attended. Camp Abnaki, which IL
now located permanently at North Hero
on property owned by the association and
valued at from eight to nine thousand
dollars. was started by Mr.. Clark as a
local camp with q boys. 1t now has over
200 campers, over 60 Of whom are in some
branch of the national service The State
college students conferences and the army
Y. M. c. A. work are also due largely to
Mr.. Clark's efforts.
The Vermont Y. M. c. A. work among
the soldiers has grown up largely during
the past four years. In the summer Of
1916, Harry Brown was sent to the border
with the Vermont National Guard by the
Y. NJ. c. A. A permanent Y. M. c. A.
| building has been erected at the State
reservation and 1t was due largely to the
State associations efforts. that the Y. NJ
c. A. building and tents were built at Fort
Ethan Allen. The budget Of the State Y
M. c. A. has been Increased from $4,000 to
between $4,000 and $4,000. his year it will
be larger as $4,000 has been raised for the
work Of the National War Work Council.
Vermont's share is $4,000 and the entire
sum probably will be raised.
During Mr.. Clark's absence, his as.
sistant. w. E. McGovern will have charge
of his work. and an assistant will be en-
ployed to aid him. Camp Abnaki will be in
charge Of Mr.. McGovern and H. W..
Winslow Of Andover. Mass. during the
remainder Of the season. Mr. Winslow has
been one of Mr.. Clark's assistants for
rc-',a two.

ed Membership Increase.

The largest number Of communicates
In the Episcopal diocese Of Vermont in
several years were recorded during the
year which ended on May 1. according to
a preliminary report issued by Bishop
CoadJutor George Y. Bliss. There are,
according to these figures. 6,235. which is
considerable increase over 1915. DR..
Bliss believes that there has been an in

as can be ascertained.
The number Of baptisms was far great.
er than In 1915. There were 402, as COM
pared with 279 the previous year.
The item Of combinations also shows an
advance. There were 3N AS against 324
last year. Marriages took the tremen-
dous Jump from 1879 in 1916 to s45 in 1917.
The number Of pupils in the Sunday
schools has also grown appreciably. This
years report shows a total Of 1852, while
year ago there were only Ina The diff
ference is due partly to a more complete
tabulation Of returns.
A uniform principle for the valuation Of
church buildings, including rectory, par
ish house or church, is recommended.
The financial committee believes also that
too often too little insurance is carried.
The insurance on the church in Norwich
that was burned and the rectory at Ches-
ter was not enough in either case, in its
opinion.
Thirty-seven parishes and missions re-
ceived aid from their endowments or trust
funds during the year. according to the
sixty-odd reports. In several instances
this help has enabled the parish or mis-
sion to relinquish the annual grant from
| the missionary funds Of the diocese.
Most Of the cures contributed to the
church pension fund and responses to
| war appeals also have beeen great. Of
ferings for objects outside the diocese
amount in all to $5.3O471 not including
gifts for missionary work. This is seven
or eight times as much as usual. Twenty
| nine parishes and missions gave a total
Of $279.31 to the diocesan aged and infirm

PENSION FUND $8.500,O00.
The pension reserve fund of the Ep's-
copal Church in America has grown from
