was s33 Cog, 800. This represents a gain Of
s2,a92.0o0 although 1t includes no figures
for beans or tobacco.
The annual report of the Vermont COM
missioner of agriculture estimates the
value of Vermont dairy products the past
year at s22,ooO000. This would give a
total of s5s,4ls,sOo without considering the
value of small fruits, vegetables, field
BEANS nuts and other miscellaneous
farm products. The value of the YER
mont maple syrup and sugar crop for
1918 is estimated at s2,5oo,oo0. This would
make total of between SCI, 10000 and
