CANNING SUGAR
BY CERTIFICATE
rs Lbs. Per Family at Stated
Time On Presentation of
Credentials

St Adams. May 1s.-Sugar for homo
canning will be distributed on a sugar
certificate system. 1t was announced
to-day at the office Of Acting Federal
Food Administrator John T. Cushing.
1t was said that in the course Of few
days certificates will be placed in the
hands Of the grocers of the State which
will enable them to deliver up to 25
pounds Of sugar at any one given
time to a family. The individual buy
ing the sugar for canning purposes
agrees to use the sugar purchased on
the certificate for no other purpose
then to preserve fruits and vegetables
and to return to the grocer any sur
plus.
1t was further stated at the food ofiices
that Is pounds would be the maximum
amount Of sugar that a family could
have on hand at any given time for
canning purposes and that possession Of
a greater amount would open the indi-
vidual to investigation for boarding. In
case rs pounds is not sufficient for the
canning season a second or third certifl
cate will have to be secured. The certif-
Gates will be returned to the Office OF
Administrator Frank H. Brooks in Mont
pelier by the grocer within one week
after he has made a sale on It.
Sugar is not plentiful, Mr.. Cushing
said. and there is great need Of con-
servation between now and the opening
of the canning season. Conservation

Washington. May 19.-Rairoads under
government operation this year will spend
nearly a billion dollars for additions, bet
ernments and equipment. or approx
mately three times az much as In any one
OF the last three years.
Total capital expenditures approved by
the railroad administration as amended
to-day are 1897, 961,31S. OF this big sum

ordered through the railroad administra-
ton and SIS. 900 for track expansions.
The figures disclose Director-General
McAdoo's determination to let the rail-
ronds make many improvements which
they had neglected during the last three
wears through permitting tracks to run
down, and postponing all possible pro-
sects recurring big expenditures OF capl-

administration Is not encouraging many

rency Railroads In submitting budgets
Of proposed capital expenditures TINS
wear asked much more than was actually
approved ana the railroad adrnistra-
ton eliminated $349, 247 900, or nearly one
fourth Of the proposals. In pairing down
the budgets to this extent. the admins
tration made 1. plain that most OF Its
decisions are tentative, and may be re-
considered later in the light Of any
growing necessity or lack OF need OF bet
terments.
In general the eastern trunk lines were
given generous sums for improvements
and equipment, to enable them better tc
handle the great flood Of traffic to the
Atlantic seaboard for movement tc
Europe In many cases. however, the
budgets Of eastern roads were cut
sharply.
Part Of the capital necessary will be
supplied by the government from the
$500, 900 900 revolving fund of the railroad
administration, although advances will be
repaid eventually by the individual rail-
roads. Wherever possible, railroads will
finance their own enterprises, without
government aid, but the railroad admin
- istration may buy the bonds or Other
securities issued by the railroad t
finance the capital propositions.
The figures made public to-day show
that the New York Central was giver
$70.0O0.000. the biggest allowance, ant
practically all the road asked. Penn

Vt. MUST GET FARM
LABOR At HOME
Statement on Present Condi-
tions by F. H. Bickford,
Farm Labor Agent

st. Adams, May 20.-The following
statement relative to the scarcity Of
farm labor in Vermont has been sent
to the newspapers by the State agri-
cultural department:
Since March first. F.. H. Bedford.
State farm labor agent has Investigated
every possible source of farm labor
from outside the State. AS other states
are as badly off as Vermont, there
seems to be little prospects Of securing
labor from outside sources. At one
time 1t was expected that furloughs
from the army, of drafted men skilled
in farm labor, would afford some re-
lief during the planting season. The
change in the military situation, how
ever. making II necessary to hurry
men abroad, will probably prevent the
furloughing of many men for farm
work.
So far. the spring has been favora-
HE for preparing the land for planting
and for seeding grain. The next 80
days will finish the planting season.
IT good weather continues, our farm
ers with the help of machinery will be
! encouraged to put in all crops they
possibly can and. with additional local
help, these crops can be cared for and
harvested on time. If every man who
can be spared from a town or city oc.
cupation for a whole or portion OF the
time during the summer. will volun'
teer. We can care for and harvest oui
crops and make Vermont contribute
her share toward the food supply OF
our country and her allies.
MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
| This is a matter to be taken serious
ly. because food supplies are short
and food cannot be raised withou
labor Assistant Secretary OF Agri
culture Ousley recently said at meet
ing in Washington:
Tell the people that the government
| Is going to feed the soldiers and thu
civilian population behind the soldiers
| The farmers are also going to be fed
because they are the producers of food
If the townspeople do not help rais'
and harvest crops. they may g.

Farmers of Vermont are patriots
and will do their share best to hell
raise food enough to supply all elias
ses of people, but they cannot perform
an impossible task and do this withou
extra labor during the next fou
months. VIII town and city people b
