Miss Susan b. SwantOn to
Succeed Him in Manage
ment of Farm
HAS HAD CHARGE
OF FARMERETTES
Leave-Mr. Tenney Has Been Man
ager Past II Years-Twenty-Five
Tuberculous Cattle Killed.

A change in the management of the
well known Scott farm, owned by
Frederick Holbrook, which is located
in the town of Dummerston, is to take
place Friday of this week Elbert C.
Tenney, who has had the management
of the farm the past IL years, will be
succeeded by Miss Susan B. Swan
ton, who has been employed on the
farm the past season as leader of a
group of farmerettes.
The transfer of management is not
entirely devoid of friction, it is under
stood, and some of the other men who
have been employed on the farm also
will leave, including Roy Torrey, who
has worked with Mr.. Tenney about 10
years and who has operated the farm
tractor.
Mr. Holbrook, the owner, is at the
farm very little. having all that he
can attend to in charge of the Hog
Island shipbuilding plant, and the
farm is under the direct oversight of
Mrs. Holbrook, who is an officer of
the Woman's Land army.
Last NhlSS CHa1Ion was en-
gagged to come to the farm as head
of unit of 10 young women farmers.
Trouble arose and the girls left, but
q few others came to take their places.
The Scott farm is one of the most
important in Vermont, and its progress
under woman management will be
watched with interest 1t comprises
! about 700 acres, Ct which about 225
acres are in tillage land.
| Some seasons from Us to 80 men have
been employed during the summer sea-
son, but the past season the number
was much smaller because of the scar
city of male help, and female hands
helped make up the shortage.
There is large dairy on the farm,
both purebred and grade Guernseys be-
ing maintained. A large new barn
recently was erected for the herd,
which usually comprises some 60 or
more head, and this barn is one of the
most sanitary and thoroughly equipped
to be found.
In spite of precautions, however.
% head of cattle were found to be af-
fieted with tuberculosis on being test
ed by a federal expert, and they were
sent 70 Burlington and slaughtered.
They were mostly aged COWS.
Mr.. Tenney formerly was EMPLOYED
by Mr.. Holbrook on large construc-
tion jobs, having charge of concrete
and other work. He has rented a ten.
ement in E. f. Pery's house on Birge
street He has made no definite plans
for the future.
