More Money in Sugar This Year

While there is not the normal in
crease in the number of sugar makers
who are buying complete new equip
ment this year, those sugar makers who
have been operating their bushes show
a disposition to work them to capacity
this year. Attracted by the high prices
OF last year, they are buying buckets
with which to tap every available tree.
In spite of the fact that maple sugar
makers in Vermont can sell every ounce
of sugar they can make at a price sew
eral times that of few years ago, and
that the Vermont output is more eager
ly sought than that of any other State
in the Union, the Green Mountain
State is not turning out anywhere near
the amount of maple sugar of which it
is capable 1t is estimated that at the
present time there are 100000 maple
sugar trees in Vermont which are not
tapped. This means that less than 40
per cent of the possible output is being
produced The amount of sugar which
can be obtained from tree depends
entirely on the weather, but a pound
to tree would not be large and that
would mean that Vermont is neglect
ing to make $500 tons OF maple sugar,
which would mean a fortune coming
into the State.
This year, with an even break Of
luck, the sugar makers ought to do
well. Last year one great handicap was
the lack OF labor, but that will not ex-
ist this year, and with prices keeping
up as well as they are, there should be
a big increase in the revenue.

We are pleased at the prospect oil
turning the clocks ahead again this
summer We can appreciate that it
isn't a boon to the farmer in haying
time when under the daylight saving
schedule he has a hard time keeping
the hired man in the fields during the
late afternoon when hay is ready to
move. But daylight saving does mean
a great good for a great number and
farmers in this section appear to have
made nd serious protest against the
plan. Beginning the last Sunday IN
March the clocks are turned ahead.

nificant fact that the Exchange mem

bushel for their wheat than has been
received by others who have sold in

Figuring from the reports turned into

estimated that the 1918 wheat crop OF

The Speakership.

Speaker Dana of the Vermont House
Of Representatives won his reelection in
handsome manner his vote being even
greater than those close in his counsel
had predicted. Representative Alexander
Of this city ran second, but he was far
from polling the number of votes he had
looked for, and Dana's victory was de-
cisive.
The cause is not difficult to discover.
Speaker Dana was confessedly the repre-
sentative of the agricultural section of
the population, and when this element
starts out to secure something in the
House, IL seldom meets with disappoint-
ment. Having convinced the agricultural
interests that he was worthy Of standing
as their representative, it remained only
10 coaut the ballots,
The re-elect speaker is hard worker
and he devoted himself tireIessly to Sc
cure the realization of his ambitions to
preside over the deliberations of the
House at this session. He received yalu-
able assistance and without doubt he
feels under obligations TO former Senator
Foote of Addison county, who was an
enthusiastic Dana man from Che start
and lost no opportunity to further the
interests of his friend.
Another element entering into Speak
or Dana's success was the prestige that
goes with having once held the office
Among the representatives Of the 1917
session made him their speaker
when the vacancy came-Mr. Dana had
active champions and then influence was
in the main exerted in his behalf. This
assistance was mighty factor.
MIR. Alexander seemingly had been
promised more support than he actually
received The trend toward Dana was
marked Tuesday night and undoubtedly
several who had honestly intended to
support Mr.. Alexander yielded to the in
fluence, often dominant in politics, Of
securing a seat on the band wagon be
fore it had passed by.
Mr.. Cudworth had every justification
OF aspiring to the speakership, but his
inactivity was costly. To work for pc.
litical preferment is hostile to MIR. Cud.
worths nature, but the general run of
men seem to be actuated by the feel
ing that what is worth having is worth
working for Therefore, the London
derry mans small vote is not an indi-
cation Of any weakness, except the
weakness that seems generally to be in
herent in the receptive attitude"
Speaker Dana joins long line of dis
tinguished Vermonters who have pre-
