ADDRESS OF
E. S. BRIGHAM
Gives Talk On Food Pro-
duction In Yer
= mont

st. Adams, April 26.-In an address
made here yesterday, State Commits
sioncr of Agriculture e. S. Brigham
stated that, as this is pre- eminently q
dairy and livestock state, the farm
erS should try so far as possible to
make their farms self sustaining, so
that less of tho country's production
of feed and grain shall be bought up
for feeding cattle, horses and swine.
This brings a new opportunity for
the farmer to comply with President
Wilson's request for cooperation in
the production and conservation of
food
The President has called attention
to the great shortage of food supplies
and has called upon the farmers of
the United States ito omit no step
that will increase the production of
their land in order that we may have
food enough for ourselves and the
countries with which we are cooperat-
ing in the prosecution of the war. The
demand is imperative that Vermont
farmers heed this call and adopt wise
plans for this coming season, because
any great increase in food produc-
ton must be brought about by farm
crs, who have in their control the
factors of food production; viz,-land,
implements, horse power, seeds, fer
tilizer and knowledge of how to en-
ploy these factors.
Program FortVermont''
Vermont is pre- emmently a dairy
and live stock state. In 1916 our live
stock averaged 16 head per farm, in
GLIDING horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. There is need that this num-
Der should be increased in the pres
ent emergency and plans should be
made to feed them. 1t has been our
custom to supplement home grown
feeds with purchased grain. In the
census year of 1909, sos per cent of
our farms purchased feed. The aver
age grain bill per farm was $4,000
and the total grain bill for the farms
of the state was SAFEST 03. A com
parison of the prices now obtaining
for oats, corn, bran, gluten and cot
ton seed meal with the average price
of these feeds for 1909 shows that
the price has increased GIG per cent.
Ga this basis, the amount of grain
fed in 1909 would cost $290.SS per
farm, with a total for the state of
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1917-05-02

7.690,o64. In the present emergency
farms should be more nearly self sus-
tanning than they have ever been be-
fore. This may be accomplished by
increasing the acreage and quality OF
the corn crop. both for silage and
grain; by planning for increased &C
reage of clover hay and by blowing
up old meadows and sowing them to
barley and oats.
In addition there will probably be
need for all the cash crops we can
grow. The principal ones suited to
the soil and climate of Vermont are
wheat. potatoes and beans.
The failure of the winter wheat
crop will, undoubtedly, make a great
demand for spring wheat. Where seed
can be obtained, the growing Of wheat
will probably be profitable if enough
is grown in q community to ship in
carload lots. e.
Paintings of potatoes throughout
the country bid fair to be very largely
increased. This crop, however, is
very sensitive to climatic conditions
and very susceptible to disease and
the yield will depend upon the grow
ING oCoSOii. AC ilIS1I SOSI VI oSSo CilO
labor will probably make it unwise to
plant potatoes on land unsuited TO
the crop and if any but the best meth
DDS of tillage and care are employed.
Field beans do well in most sec
tons of Vermont, are very rich con-
centrated food and any surplus may
be shipped abroad or stored for &
long period. Field beans promise to
be one of the best cash crops of the
season.
In order to increase production,
farmers will need more capital with
which to finance their operations and
more labor to do the work.
Our banks should be liberal at this
time and grant credit facilities to all
reliable farmers who can make good
use of increased capital.
The labor situation, especially dur
ing harvest, will probably be very
acute and all possible methods for
saving labor should be used En-
ployers of labor in various lines of
industry can do a great service by
releasing from their plants during
harvest men WHO have had expert
ence in farming. This may be neces-
sary in order to harvest crops which
we do raise.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

April 26, 1917
Editor of The CALEDONIAN:
Delightful news greeted me on this
m orning when l read that Fairbanks
factory defective over one thousand
hornes). the Academy, the public and
parochial schools are going, beginning
next Monday, to put the clock one
hour ahead. This means utilizing day.
light, decreasing artificial light bills,
and giving US one hour more in the
open to cultivate our garden patches.
The change is beneficial to health and
especially is patriotic. because it is
helping just SO much more our coun-
try, helping also to solve the immen-
ent peril of a world famine.
How about the hours of church
service? And changing our public
clocks? Concerning the former the
writer hopes there will be uniformity.
But concerning the latter there may
perhaps be trouble. We hope, how
ever, that the Randall and the Lur-
chin street clock will conform. Also
the South Church clock! 1 can well
imagine some of the good people of
that congregation murmuring at this,
to the effect that whatever that
CHuTCn MAY De 1t CdlluOl ring out
lie tolling IL when it is II! If, how
ever, that be the argument there the
writer must point out that that clock
is ringing out lie today! Because
none of our clocks are true meridian.
If this were the case then every town
clock along our Atlantic seaboard
would have different time. The
writer therefore hopes that all pub
lie clocks and all church services will
conform to this daylight Saving
scheme.
Really, we are only following the
lead of so-called conservative Europe.
Here on this continent the Province of
New Brunswick has adopted it. Some
of our American cities also-Detroit
for instance. Now st. Johnsbury is
coming into line, truly waking up
as our wonderful Sunday parade puts
it, getting up an hour earlier.
We truly believe the action taken
is in the lines of common sense, and
in these awful times of world blood
shedding is emphatically in the line Of
genuine patriotism.
