THE STORY OF RICE

We are inclined to be indignant at
the suggestion that what is good
enough for us is not good enough for
the Belgians and the English, yet
think what storm of protest we
should have raised if our soldiers had
been asked to live on soy beans or
some other food that they had never
tasted before.
This reluctance to adopt new food
is shown very strikingly in the history
of the rice industry in the United
States. Rice was introduced into
America in 1895, and our population
has increased a thousandfold since
then, yet today we cultivate less than
a million acres of that remarkable
cereal. In Japan, where all the cuti-
waited land is only one third the area
Of the State of Illinois, they grew nine
times as much rice as we do. More
human beings live on rice than on
wheat. There are provinces in India
inhabited by millions Of people where
rice constitutes fifteen sixtecnths Of
the diet. But Americans do not care
for rice today, and consume only eight
pounds apiece a year. They like sugar
better, and, although, pound for
pound, il is less nutritious than rice,
they each eat almost ninety pounds of
Il in twelyemonth. The taste for
rice and the knowledge how TO cook il
properly remain to this day local ac-
of the Carolinas.-l

WOOL IMPORTS DOUBLED

Imports Of wool during the ive-ye
prewar period, 19l0-l9l4, averaged
207 75S3,742 pounds annually, or some
thing less than half the present i'm
ports, according 10 the Bureau Of
Markets of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. As the popuIa-
ton Of the United States has been in
creasing so have the imports Of wool.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1918, this country imported 379,i29,-
934 pounds. During 1919, the total
amounted TO 424,4li,644
pounds, or more than double the pre-
war average. From January to Aug
ust, inclusive, Of the present year
(eight months) more wool was inn
ported than during any Of the prewar
years mentioned, and If the present
average monthly imports Of 3G,238, ,382
pounds is maintained throughout thc
months Of this year, The
United States will import more than
i30, 900 900 pounds during the present
year.

Clayton & Levin Have Opened Offices

o. r. Clayton, formerly editor of
the Londonderry Sitter, who has been
a member of the Evening Banner
staff during the past one and one-half
years, is moving his law Office from
the Norton Block on South street to
rooms in the Richie Block, recently
vacated by the Bennington branch of
the American Red Cross. Mr.. Clayton
was admitted TO the Vermont bar in
1900 and has since divided his time
between the practice Of his profession
and newspaper work. Some months
ago he opened the Office on South

during the afternoon and evening and
has established business which he
finds will require his undivided atten-
ton. He will sever his connection
with the Evening Banner on Deem
Der 1st.
Mr. Clayton has formed a law part
nership with Reuben Levin Of Man
chester Depot, son of H. Harry Levin,
a former Bennington merchant, and
well known in Bennington. Mr.. Levin
has been practicing during the year
that has elapsed since his graduation
from the law school of the University
of Maine. An office will be maintained
in Manchester Depot and same will be
in charge of Mr.. Levin.
During the Is months that he has
resided in Bennington, Mr.. Clayton
has made a place for himself in the
respect and esteem of the people of
the community and has established
himself on an excellent footing with
the legal fraternity.
In Mr.. Levin he will have the
assistance and cooperation Of an en-
orgetic young man with the recently
acquired teachings of the profession

es IN Queen City Storehnuse
Burlington. Nov 23,-A drc Of mys
terious origin broke out Saturday
night in the building on South Win
ooski avenue occupied as a storchouse
by the Ferguson and Adsit Co, on the
upper floors and the A. d. Pease Gram
Co ON the lower floor and basement
The fire burned through the entire
night and considerably destroyed the
contents Of the building. Only the
walls and part Of the floors are left
The damage is estimated to be more
than $4,000 Of which 100000 repre-
sents the loss to the Ferguson and
Adsit CO., in leather, harnesses and
other leather goods.
The Pease companys loss consists
of hay, bran, cotton seed meal and
rye straw. Thirteen streams of water
We're kept on the fire which created a
dense smoke. Six firemen were overl
come and dozen more were partially
overcome. There is no theory as TO
how the blaze originated, A man had
been through the building and found
everything all right an hour and a
half before the blaze was discovered.
This fire broke out at almost the
same time as the big blaze at the YER
mont Hardware CO., the preceding
Saturday night.

Census and every two years there

Census and every two years there
after.
An enumeration Of the mines and
quarries OF the United States was
made for the first time in lSa0
! The Sixth Decennial Census, taken
IN 1910, was the FIRST one to cover
agricultural statistics. now one Of the
most important payts Of the entire
census.
The Department Of Agriculture
assisted the Census Bureau in prepar-
ing the list Of questions TO be asked Of
every farmer at the coming census
United States marshals acted as
enumerators at the first nine decen-
nial censuses. Each marshal had as
many assistants as were necessary to
properly cover his allotted territory
About $50 people We're engaged in
taking the first census Of the United
States. The 1920 census will require
the services of 10000.
The statistics Of the first census OF
the United States were published in
one small volume consisting of 56
pages. The statistics of the 1910 CEN
sus requires II volumes having an ag-
gregate Of more than 10000 pages.
There were 6,36l ,502 farms report
ed at the last decennial census, valued
at more than 40 billions Of dollars.
The 1920 census is expected to show
more than 100000 farms.
The Census Bureau prints special
supplement for each State in the
Union containing all the census fig
ares relating to the State in question,
Congress extended the scope of the
1920 census by providing that cen
sus Of forestry and forest products
should be taken. These subjects were
never specifically covered by any past
census act.
1t required Is months to complete
the enumeration work for the first de-
cennial census in 1890 In 1920 the
Census Bureau plans to complete the
enumeration work for the entire coun-
try in from two to four weeks and an
nounce the population figures in less
than three months from the date the
enumeration work is completed.
A heavy concentration on ages end
ing in five and zero are always report
ed at a census. The Census Bureau
has made many efforts to overcome
this inaccurate tendency on the part
Of the people when stating ages.
Every census has disclosed the fact
mat there are more men in the United
States than women.
In 1914, the year the last manufac-
lures census was taken, there were
275,0 900 manufacturing establishments
The Census Bureau expects
about 100000 establishments to be
listed in 1920.
The statistics g.thered by the Cen
sus Bureau in regard to farms are
used quite extensively by the Depart
ment of Agriculture in its work of
aiding farmers.
The ingenious machines used by the
Census Bureau to count, sort and tab
ulate the information gathered by the
census cnumerators are the product Of
the Bureaus own laboratory. The
sorting machines will take care Of 300 |
cards per minute, the counting ma
,hine can do 500 cards minute and |
he tabulating machine is capable Of
handling 400 cards each minute.

1t has been theory that the build

called, would in no way benefit the
man who is in need of more depend
able road for local purposes, but wher-
ever tourist traffic has been given an
open road, local trade has increased.
both for the farmer and the local
merchant, and farm and other real
estate values have increased
1t has been a fact that those inter
ested in tourist traffic have been the
leaders in the movement for good con-
tinuous routes and it is too common
error to conclude that they are the
only ones to benefit from such roads.
Let the State build continuous lines
Of good roads,--trunk lines, so-called
along any route which will best
serve the people Of Vermont, and the
tourist will soon find them. The tour
ist does not care particularly where he
goes in Vermont 50 long as he has a
