BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's Burlington office reports
wooden manufacturing plants are well
supplied with business, in fact the demand
Is apparently as large as year ago this
1t much easier to obtain labor than has
been in evidence for some time. This Is
accounted for in part by reason OF lack
Of outdoor work. Continued cold weather
has tended to restrict trade in seasonable
goods at retail stores.
The fuel situation is little improved,
although certain mills in the southern
part Of the State are still short and op-
Grating with small daily receipts.
One new feature was adopted the past
week on the part Of the retail merchants
and was called a "pay-up" Saturday which
Is reported at that point to have brought
with it better results than were antici-
pated.
Further complaint is heard regarding
hardships caused by on-shipping OF
goods. Wholesalers are unable to COM
plete orders on hand.
Manufacturers in certain lines report
contemplated suspension of work on hand
by reason of uncertainty Of delivery
This applies particularly to the granite
industry.
Plans are nearly completed for the con-
solidaton of the villages of Newport and
West Derby under the corporate name OF
Newport city. This 1t Is expected will be
contaminated March /, 1918.
Included in failures for this week at
fecting mercantile businesses were two
bankruptcies. The month SO far has re-
corded six failures as against three fol

Hoover in Message to simonds Appeals
to Men Not in Draft to Apply
for This Service.

Montpelier. Feb. PAR. w. Simonds,
State director Of the United States Public
Service Reserve, who has charge of the
enrolment of volunteers in ship building
finds the quota Of Vermont almost at
tanned, but there Is still opportunity for
others to file their applications. In fact
even II the quota is attained others will
be needed for some States may not attain
their proportion. Mr.. Simonds found that
in some towns the men we're being dis
couraged in volunteering from self motive
but he mailed 1000 circular letters with en-
rollment cards In them. The result was a
marked increase in the enrollments of last
week.
He has received from Administrators
Hoover an appeal to the men who are
not In the draft to apply for this service
in which Mr.. Hoover explains the need of
ships to carry the food to the soldiers,
that unless there are ships to carry the
food to the soldiers there is no need of
the conservation that is being practiced
and that his anxiety relative to the ships
Is as great as any federal officer, but that
any loyal man can do his share towards
winning the war by volunteering in ship
building II he is unable to accomplish 1t in
some other way. He further states that
have the everlasting pride in the knowl-
edge that he has helped undermine the
German autocracy. II we have the neces-
cary ships 1t will materially help in win
ming the war

Census Figures Also show the State
Has 100000 Cows.
Naw York. Feb. N.-One hundred thou
sand acres more Of corn will be planted
in New York State the coming year than
in 1917 while the acreage OF oats ana
barley will be about the same, accord
ing to the farm census taken by the 1000
conservation bureau OF the second dis
trict and made public here tonight. the
winter wheat acreage ID shown TO % SSS'Vo
and the rye acreage S2oo.
The census was undertaken by the State
food commission in order that the public
might get an adequate idea Of the pres
ent resources of the State and the pro-
duction to be expected during the coming
season.
Special interest centers in the dairy
cattle count which, the director says,
shows 1899 900 cows. or 1900 less than last
year.
"New York State Is at the peak Of her
milk production" says the director.
EVERY pound of butter and cheese and
every quart of milk sold at less than tho
cost Of production hastens the day. al
ready in sight, when milk and milk prod
ucts will not be produced in sufhcient
quantities to meet the needs OF our peo-
ple."
More than 100000 pounds of maple
sugar and 100000 gallons of maple syrup
was the States record last year.
Details of the farm crop summary In
addition to the increase In corn show that
the State has planned for 1000 more
acres Of spring wheat than the 10000

FARMERS PREPARING
FOR SPRING WORK
Burlington Rendering Company
Shipping Fertilizer As Fast as
Cars Can Be Obtained-Big
Increase in Number of Tuber-
culous Cattle Slaughtered.

Nine carloads of fertilzer were shipped
Monday from the Burlington Rendering
company to various places In the State,
which argues we'll for the activities Of
the farmers In this section. The company
has orders enough and goods enough. but
the only thing which Is holding back
operations at the present time is the
scarcity of cars. AS soon as a car can be
obtained 1t Is loaded and sent on it's
way.
The business of the local company has
grown to such an extent that the number
Of employees has increased a third over
a year ago. There are now more than 100
men employed in the plant.
One feature Of the business Is a sub
stantial increase in the number of tuber-
culous cattle which are shipped there to
be slaughtered. About three carloads are
Of thoroughbred stock and they are being
disposed Of at the plant to the extent Of
more than 80 head per week. One reason
for the increase is because the amount Of
money paid for the carcasses is much
more than was formerly the case 80 more
money can be placed in the hands Of the
State for testing purposes. The money for
the cattle Is paid to the State by the COM
pany and the State reimburses the owner
Of the cattle to three-quarers Of the ap-
praised value. Very little pork is being
slaughtered and 1t is evident that the
hog raising industry has had big fall
ing off in the past few years. One reason
for this is the high price Of corn and the
troubles which usually result from feeding
garbage The death rate Of hogs fed on
this food. has been abnormally large of
late.
The Rendering plant people are starting
preparations for the gardens again this
year, and every employe Of the plant will
have the use of part of the company's
land allotted to him IL he will work 1t,
and thus increase the food supply. The
company does even more than this. CIV
ing without charge all the fertilizer
needed. The concern will also give the use
of some land to the children of the Thayer
school this year for cultivation II they
desire 1t. Last year each man who wished
to do something in the garden line was
given the use of a quarter Of an acre with
che necessary fertilizer. and thousands OF
bushels of produce were raised as a re-
suit of the enterprise

GET NO COMPENSATION
Commissi0ner Of Industries Stmoaas
Denies Claims In Lowell
Case.

Montpelier. Feb. 2l.-The petition
brought by Idella Lowell Boyle. Ruby.
Shirley and Bernice Lowell VS.. Parker d
Young company for compensation because
of the death Of r. N. Lowell which was
brought before Commissioner OF Industries
r. w. simonds has been denied by the
commissioner This case and one accom-.
anying has given him considerable trouble
for two years. 1t appears that Mr.. Lowell
was killed In an accident in 1916. Mary Ann
Lowell brought a petition for compsnsa.
ton, but this was denied because there
was no evidence to show that this woman
and Lowell were ever married.
Then the Boyle woman. so-calleds
brought q petition. 1t was shown In the
evidence that she left Lowell and there
was nothing to show that she had ewes
obtained a divorce. therefore the petition
was denied. as to her part Of It. Then the
matter Of giving compensation to the chile
dren, was denied because II was found
that Lowell had been employed by charle1
Joy Of Sutton instead Of by the Parker Z
Young company.
