Statement on Acreage.

A statement on acreage was included
in the report, saying:
The bureaus estimate of acreage in
cludes the amount standing on June
25, and therefore does not include acre
age planted but abandoned before that
late. Usually very little abandonment
occurs after June %. This year, how
ever. the adverse conditions affecting
he crop, particularly excessive rains
and boil weevil have caused material
abandonment since June %. The amount
has not been estimated in acres, but
this factor taken into account in the
condition figure. The December esti-
mate of acreage picked compared with
the preliminary estimate of acreage as
of June 25. will show tine acreage aban-
doned since that date"

come to the pepole of central Vermont
than the storm which began during last
night and continued into to-day. Water
supplies, both municipal and private,
were feeling the effects of the long
continued drouth; industry was being
elogged by the failure of electric com
panies to furnish the necessary current
of electricity through the shortage of
water power; crops were being parehed
by the incessant round of days with
scarcely bit of moisture for a month;
lawns were burned almost as if flames
had spread over them; roads were yer.
table clouds of dust whenever a motor
vehicle passed over them; epidemic
threatened because of the lowered water
supplies In short, conditions were rap
idly approaching the intolerable stage
when the rain burst from the clouds and
brought temporary relief at least But
the relief will be only temporary unless
the rainfall continues in copious quanti-
ties and over period of many days
The drouth is by no means broken. So
if it should happen that there should en-
sue long rainy period let there be little
grumbling, for the land needs water very
much. Indeed, long rainfall would be

Is the case of the Pawlet farmer who
is alleged to have admitted taking the

allowed to rest with the mere admission
of ongdoing when confronted by the
officials of the Holstein -Friesian associa-

animals who placed reliance on the claims
made by the seller? Are they not to be
considered in the matter? If the Pawlet
farmer willfully claimed something that
was not justified and presented those
claims in order to encourage purchase Of
the animals the element of deceit entered
