POTATOES IN ALL STYLES.

A correspondent has written US that on
June g. we published two items: one
stating f. r. Hopkins Of Rutland had
started 40 hills of potatoes from potato
Feelings. and the other that Frank NJ.
Rogers of Vergennes was trying the Cali.
fornia system of planting potatoes in
layers in a crib feet long. 6 feet wide and
feet high. The correspondent desires
to know how these experiments PANIED
out. So would we. The item was copied
from an exchange so possibly an exchange
can answer it.-Newport Standard and
Express.
For the benefit of the Newport editor
it can be said that DR.. F. NJ. Rogers of
Vergennes dug his potato crib this
week, and the results were disappointing
From an investment of a peck of seed
he got about three pecks of potatoes.
Ordinarily in this section peck Of seed
would yield from S to 10 bushels. Dr.
Rogers is inclined to the theory that this
story of wonderful returns Of potato cribs
was started by Prussian sympathizer.
In order to get people to doing 1t and thus
have the crop prove almost total failure.

WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet's Burlington office reports
advices received from granite manufac-
turers Of building work are to the effect
that while there has been no large work
placed there appears to be steady move
ment for more business. A number Of
small jobs are said to have been placed.
with slate quarries and manufacturers
labor is well employed but new business
is coming in rather slowly. The condi-
tons surrounding marble business show
but little change.
Manufacturers of garments and over.
ais report live demand with a large
production. Wooden mills are operating
as full as possible and some mills are
operating on extra hours. There is need
of skilled spinners. The demand for
shoddy is good. Knit goods and hosiery
plants are doing their utmost to take
care Of business on hand but need skilled
labor.
Retail merchant trade in some localities
is somewhat quiet.
Advices from farming sections indicate
crop production per acre has fallen below
expectations but by reason of extra
amount of acreage planted a good yield
has been experienced. Potatoes are rot.
ting badly.
Collections as whole are classed az
only fair. Only two failures were report
ed In the State thus far this month at

Red Cross Christmas Seals TO Continue
War against Tuberculosis.

-
Here IL the Red Cross Seal for
Christmas. 1917. by far the handsomest
seal the Red Cross has ever printed.
The date for placing the seals on sale
has been changed from November Is to
November 8, in order that the Christ
mas packages for our soldiers in
France may bear these little stickers,
telling them that the folks at home
are not Stacking in their fight against
tuberculosis.
In Vermont the seal sale will be un-
der the management of the Vermont
Association for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis and 90 per cent. of tho net
proceeds will be used by that associa-
ton to fight tube culosis in Vermont
This association, although only a year
old, has received the highest common
dalton for the things II has accomp.
lished from the president and secretary
Of the State board Of health and welfare
workers throughout the State At the
annual meeting Of the directors, IL was
voted that in addition to keeping up the
educational and relief activities of the
association. an effort should be made
to start a "preventorium" for anacmic
children who have been exposed to
tuberculosis. H. w. Slocum. secretary
OF the association, defines a preventor-
ium as temporary home and open air
school combined where the children are
given every chance to get we'll, learn
how to keep we'll and. finally, go to
their homes and tell what they have
learned to Others
The opinion is unanimous throughout
the country that on account of the war,
the work to control tuberculosis must
increase. The pi evidence of the dis.
ease is increasing in Europe and only
the most strenu ,us efforts will protect
the United States from a like misfor.
tune. The Red Cross Seals sell at one
cent each and afford everyone, young
and old, an opportunity to contribute
something.

$1,3O8,0O0 IN BONDS.
BurlingtOn's subscription to Loan Eek.
ceeds Minimum Quota by $4,000

Burlington did itself proud last week
in the drive for the Liberty Loan. 1t
seemed as though every man, woman and
child turned out with all Of their en-
thusiasm and money i'm the effort to show
that Burlington realized that the country
needed money and that as that need
existed, 1t would be met The result was
the sale of bonds amounting to 81, 3OS. 900.
almost 100000 more than the minimum
quota for burlington. Many of the people
CT the city hoped that the maximum would
be reached but they did not realize that
the figures given out for Burlington were
especially high because the savings banks
in the city have SO many depositors from
other States. One of the banks has de-
posits from nearly every State in the
United States and the quota of each city
was made according to the deposits in
its banks. If the deposits of Vermont
people alone had been taken into con-
sideration, one-third of the deposits would
not have been counted and the maximum
quota would be about 81, 100000. That sum
has been passed by over 100000.

DAIRY MANUFACTURING.
Practical Work in Connection with
Course ut morrill, Hall.

Work began last week in the laboratory
at Morrill, hall. in connection with the
course in dairy manufacturing. The
students who take this course this year
will have more opportunity for practical
work than have those who have taken
the course in the past. In previous
years. only a few weeks have been de-
voted to work in the laboratory. This
year whole half year will be given
over to this work and it will be the
aim Of the instructors to bring the course
down to practical affairs and approach
as closely as possible to actual factory
conditions.
Any Tuesday or Thursday afternoon,
the boys who are taking this course may
be seen in their spotless white coats
and caps working busily in the laboratory
on the lower floor of Morrill, hall. These
young mon. when they have finished the
course. will be ready to go out as factory
men In the manufacture Of dairy prod
ucts. and will have had enough practi-
cal experience in this work so that they
will know just how to go at things and
will not have to be shown tho different
kinds of machinery in the place and
have 1t explained to them minuteIy be-
fore they can do any work. The labora
tory at Morrill, hall is fitted out with
all the latest machinery for dairy manu-
featuring and the boys are taught its
use and how to keep it in first-class con-
dition.
The students in this course are divided
into groups or sections which work on
different things at different times. For
instance. one group runs market-milk
plant. receiving. separating. clarifying.
pasteurising, etc. Just as in regular
market-milk plant. Another section
handles butter making. ripens and churns
the cream, and makes the butter as II
they were operating regular CONNER
cial butter establishment.
Another section works on cheese and
ice cream The cheese includes many
different varieties. cream. pimento. cot
tage, club, and young America" The
boys also make excellent ice cream which
disappears quite rapidly when any Of the
other students get into the laboratory.
OF course. these products are all made
for experimental purposes, but some very
excellent cheese, ice cream. butter butter
milk and other products are turned out
by the students, especially by those who
have had some experience In the work.
1t Ia the plan Of the instructors. in order
to make the course more worth while.
to sell such products as are not needed
and use the money to improve the work
of the course. buy new apparatus, etc.
This does not mean that any wholesale
business will be solicited. However the
products which are made by the boys on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are
to be on sale at Morrill, hall on We'd
nesdays and Fridays. and it is expected
that the people who live nearby will
take advantage Of the opportunity to get
fresh dairy products handled In a per-
fectly sanitary way. Such milk and
cream as are not used in the experiments
also will be disposed of In this way.

THEATRE WAR TAX.


Of Tickets.
The war tax on tickets to theatres and
movies will 60 into effect today. when
local patrons Of the movies and the stock
company will pay the first toll.
As the revenue law reads, the patron OF
the attraction must pay 10 per cent. OF
the purchase price of his ticket. This
tax is to be turned over to the collector Of
internal revenues Office the first of each
month. and the books Of the theatre man.
ayers must be at all times open for In
spection by the authorities. The managers
are put upon their honor. but tho penalty
for any evasion may reach as high as 20
years Imprisonment.
The theatre is not allowed to pay the
tax out Of its own receipts. for tho law
specifically provides that the tax must be
paid by the public. In only two places Of
amusement In this city will a separate
ticket for the tax be given. That will be
at the World in Motion and the Orpheum.
which are under the same management.
that Of Meader Martin. The other places
of amusement. the Majestic and The
Strong. will simply add the tax on to the
price Of the ticket.
The matter Of the 15-cent rate has been
of much bother to movie managers all
over the country.
Manager Whalen, when interviewed at
The Strong theatre yesterday. said that
he expected to raise the five-cent rate that
prevails for the balcony at his vaudeville
and movie entertainments, in order to do
away with the six-cent rate Of admission.
and thus cope with scarcity Of pennies.
The war tax, he said, will come out Of
the 10 cents admission. For the regular
play attractions, the tax will be as stated
in the law, one cent for every 10 cents or
fraction thereof of the amount paid for
admission. Thus. a $3.50 seat. will cost
1.65; 81 seat. $1.10; Is cent seat. SO
cents; and so on.
Managers Hutchinson and Lockwood Of
the Majestic announced the following
schedule for their house: Afternoon, chill
dren cents, war tax one cent, total. six
cents; adults. TO- tax one. total II; reserved,
IA. tax two. total. 16. Evening: Children. 10.
tax one. total, II; adults. IA tax. two, total.
16; reserved, 10, tax two. total q. In return
for the splendid patronage given them in
decided to meet the public half way in re-
gard to Is and 90 cent admissions. and
lower the price respectively to IA and 10
cents, thus making the additional amount
to be paid by patron only one cent more
than has been customary.
At the World in Motion and the
Orpheum. both movie houses, tax tickets
will be given. The patron will pay six
cents for his f1ve-cent seat. II for the 10
cent seats and II for the reserved Is cent
seats. Both OF these theatres have relative
ly few Is cents seats.
