SEED CORN SITUATION SERIOUS.

Farmers in Chittenden county having
good hard flint corn i'm the crib are
asked to get in touch with the county
agent.
AS there seems to be great short
age of seed corn adapted to New Eng
land, the government is trying to To-
cate all available local flint corn that
is ft for seed. This includes not only
corn saved for seed last fall but also
good hard corn in the crib. 1t Is felt
that many farmers are now feeding
such corn because they do not realize
how valuable this is for seed. so to
stop this the government will guaran
tee profitable market. The plan of
purchasing the corn here will be SINH
lar to that already in use in Connecti-
cut The farmer holding the corn no.
tifies the county agent that he has such
corn. This corn is then sampled and
tested for termination. For all corn
terminating So per cent. or better the
government will pay Si.25 per bushel
on the cob delivered at some central
".ace, probably Burlington. This will
then be sold to the farmers at cost, 1t
cannot be sold To dealers.
All farmers in Chittenden county
having such corn should get in touch
with their county agent at once. either
D. w. Dana or j.. r. Churchill. They
are urged 20 do this before April l. if
possible.
barre is now on an allowance of q
pound or sugar per person.

VERMONT MAPLE.

While labor is scarce. various food
products are scarcer. That sentence sums
up the situation as regards many Vermont
maple sugar makers. Vermont maple
products long ago passed into the list Of
luxuries as regards price. and indications
are that this will be truer in 1918 than ever
before Advices from different parts OF
the State point to strenuous efforts on
the part Of owners Of maple sugar ORCH
ards to get ready for the season about to
begin. All kinds Of apparatus are at a
premium. but prices are nothing COM
pared with the rates promised for new
sugar.
A dealer in Burlington told a representa-
tive of the FREE PRESS that the ques-
ton now is not what the price of Vermont
maple sugar Of last year is. but whether
dealer credited with establishing the price
to a marked degree is said to have guar
anteed men who will agree to furnish him
fine goods enighteen cents a pound, while
maple syrup is fairly jumping in price.
Under these circumstances we shall be
surprised II the list Of maple sugar
bushes" remaining untapped is not much
smaller this year than 1t was last season.
Unlike many other commodities Vermont
maple cannot easily be produced to an
extent that will glut the market Here
is to the Vermont maple sugar maker
and to one Of the best seasons in his ca
reer.

SHEETS.

Strickland Gillian. in Farm Life.)
Sheets are what a heavy rain is said
to come down in.
Also they are what drunken man is
said to have three of in the wind.
Incidentally, they are used on beds. in
numbers ranging from one to two per
bed.
There are cotton bed sheets and linen
bed sheets and hotel bed sheets.
In some States the hotel sheets are re-
quired to be nine feet long.
In some States they are not, but the
patron of the hotel knows, even, If his
sheet is only Ave and a half feet in length.
it will be long enough before there is an
other clean one on the bed.

a bed sheet folded and lying on the
shelf of a linen closet or in a laundry bag
is about as quiet and well behaved an
article as one could wish to see.
One would never guess from its down.
cast eye and general decorous air that
it had latent devilment in it.
But that same sheet II you get into bed
with it on top of you after a roast pork
or mince- pie supper, develops the most
Notwithstanding disposition imaginable.
While you lie quietly beneath it, it will
yank itself loose from its moorings at the
foot Of the bed and roll itself into rope
and leap violently from beneath the outer
covers to lie writing on top Of the spread.
Just before you wake from long and
frutless fight. with it, it quets down
and swears it never moved throughout the
entire night
The activity of sheet under such cir
cumstances is greatly augmented II one
is sleeping with a little boy who also ate
mince pie.
Under such circumstances I have known
the sheet to be hanging from the chan
delier by 400 a. m.

ONE OF THE BEST IN AMERICA.


Some OF the men Who come to Fort
Ethan Allen from other parts OF the
country tell of their being congratulated
on the fact that they are to be located
in such an attractive military post.
These developments serve to show that
the military authorities are we'll ad-
vised in regarding Fort Ethan Allen as
one of the best in the entire United
States as regards climate and SANTA
ton and other conditions affecting hsAlth
as well as with reference to substAnt!al
character and opportunity for almost
unlimited expansion. The Barre Times
voices a prevailing sentiment in this
paragraph:
''The selection of Fort Ethan Allen as
the place for the organization Of the
a1oth U. s. cavalry. one of the four
regiments of additional troops TO be
recruited for the United States army.
probably signifies the solidification Of
sentiment In the war department that
Fort Ethan Allen is one of the best
military reservations in the whole
country"
It remains for the authorities Of the
various communities adjacent to Fort
Ethan Allen and our business men in
general to see to it that no condition
10 permitted to develop that can counter
act the growing popularity of this point
with the war department and the mill
tary as an advantageous training camp.
