COMMUNITY TRACTOR
PLAN TO Be TRIED
Hoped it Will Help Out the
Labor Shortage
c. G. Seeley First to Take Up With
the New Idea, Will Go to
Work at Once

The first move toward community
tractor work in this county il not the
first experiment of the kind in the
State, was announced by the Farm
Bureau today and hopes are entertain
ed that it will contribute somewhat
toward the relief of the labor shortage.
As result OF attendance at the re-
cent tractor school conducted by the
State College of Agriculture at Bur-
lington, Charles G., Seeley, a promin-
ent farmer in what is known as the
Seeley District, has purchased a Moline
tractor 6-l2 horse power, capable of
plowing from four to ten acres a day,
depending upon the nature of the
soil. This record compares with two
acres as a big days work for a team of
horses.
Through the cooperation of the Farm
Bureau, which for long time has been
interested in getting the tractor idea
adopted in Addison County, Mr.. See
ley has already booked 40 acres of
plowing for Arthur w, Eddy and E.B.
Cornwall and a large amount of har-
rowing for Lucius Buttolph In view
OF the fact the plan is an experiment
and Mr.. Seeley has in a sense volun.
teered by risking a large Investment
in it, the work will be done as near
as possible to actual cost considering
the depreciation and maintenance Of
the machine.
The tractor idea has been talked of a
great deal at different state meetings
Of agricultural authorities and been ur-
ged highly by the farm war council at
Montpelier While it is not adapted to
all sections of Vermont, particularly
to some of the stony regions, Addison
County is considered an ideal section

nized

Increase in the salary of Principal A.
S. Hartman of the High School from
ST. 800 to 1000 and in the salary of Miss
Evelyn A. Muldoon, head of the Com
mercial Department of the High School
from 81, 900 to 81, 200 were voted by the
Prudential Committee at a meeting
here yesterday afternoon. At the same
time increases of $50 a year in the sal
aries of all the other teachers of the
high and graded schools were voted.
As usual the teachers will have few
weeks to consider a renewal of their
contract and if accepted at the new
rate of salary there will be no change
in the teaching staff, which has cen
considered by the Committee as high
ly satisfactory The Committee faced
the necessity of raising the salaries in
view both of the high cost of living and
the obligation of recognizing the de-
voted service of the Middlebury teach
ers. In view of the increased cost that
the new salaries will mean to the tax
payers, the Committee has still under
advisement the proposal of abandoning
for the present the manual training
and elocution departments of the high
school, but no action has yet been TAX
en-. The matter OF employment Of
janitor for another year was also left
over to the next meeting.
The Prudential Committee at present
consists of Allan Calhoun, c, E. P:nney,

NJ Shackctt of Middlebury at Clarcn-

States Commissioner James p, Leamy
at Rutland on the charge OF having
tailed to register, although Of alleged
draft age was dropped this week, when
the authorities discovered that the com
plant made against Shackett had no
grounds. Young Shackett, who is the
step-son of Frank Trudo, Coachman

birth certificate, baptsmal records and
other evidence to prove beyond doubt
that he was only 10 years of age at the
time the draft took effect, June 5,
1917. He was accordingly released and
has this week visited his mother and
friends in Middlebury who are natural
ly perturbed at the fact of his arrest
but glad that he was able to promptly
prove himself no Stacker The com
