PLANS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Specialists to Work In Vermont
Again This Summer.
Profs. II. L. Fairchild, G. H. Richardson
w. G. Foye Of Middlebury and
Others to Assist State Geol-
0gist Perkins.

Geological research field work in sew
eral different parts of the State will be
conducted again this summer under the
direction of State Geologist George II.
Perkins Of the University of Vermont,
who has been fortunate In again obtain
ing the aid Of specialists. The results of
this work are embodied IN papers pub
lished in Professor Perkinss biennial re-
port.
Prof. II. l.. Fairchild, geologist Of the
University of Rochester, who did such
efficient work last year in western YER
mont. will be busy this summer on the
eastern watershed in the Connecticut
river valley. Professor Fairchild's work
has been notable. He is particularly in
terested in geological lake levels.
Prof. c. II. Richardson, who has been
working for upwards of 10 years, MAX
ing general survey of the rock forma-
lions of the State, will again be here
from Syracuse University. where he is
professor of geology. He will work about
Montpelier and south of the capital in
Mortified. He is a native Of Washing
ton county. and consequently the geology
of this vicinity. and of Vermont general
~. is Of peculiar interest to him.
The problem he and Professor Per.
kins have before them is the age of the
various formations, which must be de-
termined in each instance before n salts.
factory geological map" can be made OF
the State. The geology of Vermont is OF
an unusually complicated character says
the State geologist as may be Judged
by the long term Of years which the two
men have spent studying it. Not only
the rocks, but the fossils which they
may come across, will occupy their at
tention. Professor Richardson will spend
at least month, beginning about the
middle OF July perhaps.
Professor Perkins will do similar worl
to that of Professor Richardson, but in
dependently. He will work wherever OBJ
portunity affords and the territory is no
covered. The location of the various rocl
| strata with reference to one another IL
the different parts of the State is theil
| common problem.

do considerable work II the government
does not demand his services. He ha.

working on the tale deposits of the State

MORE TO EXHIBIT At FAIRS
Project Work Of Boys and Girls
Also Unusually Good.
Agricultural Extension Service Of state
University Encouraging Entry Of
Exhibits-Many More Girls
Raising Pigs.

The number Of boys and girls to exhibit
this year at the various local and county
fairs, as we'll as the Eastern States Agri-
cultural and Industrial Exposition in
Springfield, Mass, will be much larger
than last in the opinion of State Club
Leader Il. L. Ingalls, Of the agricultural
extension service Of the State university.
The exposition will be held this year dur
ing the second week of October. The
number of entries in the IL project clubs
will be larger than last, and the food pro-
duction and conservation campaign has
Increased the interest of club members.
The quality as we'll as the number of
exhibits will be superior, MIR. Ingalls,
thinks.
So far 20s2 have entered in nine of the
projects: Handlcrafts. bread. calf, maple
sugar lamb. corn, pig, sewing and potato.
Besides these there are probably 1900 In
the gardening project and between 400 and
500 each in the poultry and canning pro-
1ects. Many more are expected in the
pig-growing project: 40 more from Wash
ington county, 30 from Windham. 10 from
Bennington county. and others from
Hardwick, Chelsea and possibly points in
Lamoille county. A good 1900 more en-
tries than there were last year. when
$50 were enrolled. are expected.
An interesting feature of this years pig
growing project is the fact that a quar-
ter of the entries are girls, a proportion
several times that of last year. This
year. as last, the Vermont Bankers as
ISOLATION is giving this project more sup.
port than any of the others. There are
entered at present 369 boys and 122 girls
This, as indicated, does not represent by
any means the full enrolment expected.
Each Of the total Of 5000 entries is be.
ing encouraged to enter exhibits in as
many Of the fairs as practicable. Last
year 200 boys and girls showed off theil
products or skill at Springfield. No boy
or girl will be permitted to compete there

1t will be possible for member in some
cases to enter more than one exhibit with
out much extra work, because Of the fac

The abnormal shiftings of population
since the census of 1910 caused the census

There was nothing in the returns, said
