Addison End of Seven Counties /;
Cooking Team 0utcOOkS Them All

The Addison County Farm Bureau
exhibit was awarded second prize
among seven competitors at the State
Fair in White River Junction last week.
Chittenden County received first prize
and Windsor third. The exhibits con-
sisted of dairy products, vegetables,
grains. fruits, maple products and
honey in the Agricultural department,
and cooking, canning, clothing, poul-
try and household management in the
Home Demonstration sections.
One of the features of the entire
agricultural exhibit of the Fair was
the sugar house and equipment in min
iature, with syrup, sugar and sugar
cakes in attractive shapes prepared by
Mr. York of Lincoln.
The corn exhibited by the County
was judged by very many as the best
that they had seen this year.
Nearly every town in the county was
entered and the exhibit was quite fully
representative of its farms and their
owners skill.
The Boys and Girls departments
at the Fair were likewise featured bv
the Addison County exhibits. That
more than $50 jars of canned goods were
shown is proof that our young peo-
Pile are not going to be outclassed but
by eXceptinal effort The number of
premiums won will attest their success.
The cooking team won first prize in
the general county-team competition.

On the heels of the reports of large
increases in imports of agricultural and
especially dairy products, comes the
unwelcome news from the milk manu-
facturers that their storehouses are
/ full of milk products and that thev
must close their factories for at least
several months; on the other hand the
COWS continue to give milk, nature re-
fusing to close down these, her great
natural laboratories for producing the
best and cheapest food that can be had
in the market anywhere.
For the first eight months of the
year foodstuffs imported were valued
at Sl,366, 100000 as against the relative
ly small imports of S790,000,000 for the
same period last year, the imports in
food stuifs this year being nearly twice
in value what they were for the same
period last year.
The imports in frozen lambs from
Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina
were l,446,746 carcasses or 1850 l44
pounds The dairy imports for the
rirSt eight months of this year are:
butter 25,59l,969 pounds, cheese and
cheese substitutes 9732, 1872 pounds,
condensed and evaporated cream 49,
06374l pounds and casein l723S,S55
making total in dairy products and
substitutes this year of 71,626,757
pounds. The total for last year was,
in the same period, but %, l507S4 For
the first eight months of this wear
922,6S9 dozen eggs were imported as

NEW DAY FOR DISTRICT
Coming Ceremonies Will Be
In Honor Of Late J. Sterl-
ing Morton.

Every State society in the Dis

can Forestry Association to plant
a tree on Arbor Day, April I6. in
honor of the late j. Sterling Nor
ton' once Secretary of Agriculture,
VINO fathered Arbor Day. The DIS
trict Commissioners have just pro-
claimed Arbor Day for the first
time.
"A tree is the finest memorial that
can be erected to the memory of
Mr.. Morton" said Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the American
Forestry Association. Through his
activity. the first Aroor Day in
America was celebrated in Nebras-
ka, forty-eight years ago. Other
great prairie States, seeing the need
OF trees, took up the idea, which
has spread. until now every State
in the Union obberves Arbor Day
at one date or another. The first
Arbor Day in Nebraska was cele-
brated on April 10. but later the
date was changed to April 30 Mr..
Morton's birthday. The American
Forestry Association will at once
begin making plans for a nation
wide observance of the fiftieth an
niversary of the birth of the father
of Arbor Day on April %. 1922.
TT would be a splendid idea for
each State to plant a tree here In
memory of Mr.. Morton. and I know
that the Nebraska Society and the
Nebraska Congressional delegation
will be glad to take the lead in the
planting"
