MARKET YOUR WHEAT NOW.
Appeal Made to vermonters in the In
terest of the Allies.

St Adams. March lS.--Acting federal
food administrators for Vermont, John i
Gushing, to-day gave out the following
appeal TO the farmers of Vermont from
nited States Food Administrator Her
bert Hoover that they bring all OF their
wheat, except their necessary reserves
for sale To market before May ]:
In order that we may comply with
the urgent demands of the allies for
wheat and at the same time take care
Of our own domestic supplies we urgent
w need this year an earlier and more
complete marketing of the wheat IN
farmers hands than usual The allies are
taking from us 80 per cent OF other cereals
than wheat TO mix in their bread. Inas
much as the people in allied countries
and the soldiers must be fed with bread
baked IN bakeries il is impossible for
them to prepare bread made wholly out
Of other cereals and we must furnish
them with sufficient wheat to maintain
their bakery load II therefore appeals
10 all the farmers in the state of Yer
mont that they shall bring all of their
wheat except their necessary reserves for
sale to market before May |. This Is a
war call and service for [ nele Sam who
is fighting for his life. If your local
miller Is unable TO buy all the wheat
that is offered, market as in the other
customary trade channels through which

THE VERMONT FARMS NEED YOU
BOYS.

Every able bodied youth of IL years
or over, who is now attending school in
Vermont, should lay his plans now to
enlist the coming summer in the big
army of farm hands needed TO carry on
the increased production planned by Yer
mont. The call of army and navy serv-
ice has taken between 5000 and 1000
young men out of the state, large mum
Der of whom came from the farms.
Then, too, the demands of increased pro-
duction in the munitions plants in many
sections of New England and other east
ern states have drawn further on the
young men population of the state and
these workers have in considerable part
come from the farms. These two calls
have made serious drain upon the farm
at time when labor was none too plen-
ty under peace conditions The result is
that the agricultural industry OF the
state is facing serious proposition of
how to get men 10 carry on the produc-
ton that Is demanded Of the state. The
boys in high schools and upper grades of
the other schools can in large part ill
this void BY undertaking some OF the
work on the farm in order TO release Ia
Dor for the work which demands greater
experience There ought to b. several
thousand volunteers in this farm army
