treasury department for payment.
This claim of the State of Vermont
for reimbursement for funds paid
out in the spring of 1917 for proper
military equipment to equip the
National Guard of Vermont was the
first claim of this kind to be re-
ceived by the War Department and
was therefore, made test case, all
other similar claims being held up
until this claim was acted upon. Its
course through the various depart
ments has many times been halted
by objections but all of these have
finally been removed and Vermont
will in due time be properly reim-
bursed for this emergency expendi-
ture.
Through the, generosity of James
B Wilbur of Manchester, the Uni
versity of Vermont is to have a
beautiful bronze statue of its foun-
der, Ira Allen. The figure will be
seven feet high, and the costume
that of the period in which Ira Allen
lived. 1t will occupy a prominent
position on the front campus of the
university, facing down College street.
The statue is being made in New
York by Sherry Fry, the noted sculp-
tor, and noted critics and artists
who have viewed it, consider it one
of the finest pieces of its kind that
has been done in this country for
many years.
Because of the shortage of apple
barrels in the vicinity of Rutland, it

windfalls and the owner is offering
the equivalent of barrel of apples
for every barrel picked up for him.
The price about Rutland is from
S1.65 to S1.75 for empty barrels.

though they are not producing more
than their normal amount. Both OF
these factors make big differences
in the receipts of every farmer who
sells milk.
Sales of milk bring back S6tOOO,-
900 annually to the farms of New
England. While only two-thirds of
this is sold through the New England
Milk Producers Association, as the
selling agent of. it's members, the
price received by the other third OF
the dairy farmers is determined
largely by the prices at which the
Association sells. In former years
it has been the custom to have the
county meeting only. for delegates
from the local associations but in
view of the magnitude of the milk
business and the large questions in
volved in decisions which will be
made at these meetings it was de-
cided to throw these meetings open
to all farmers and to invite them in
to take part in the discussion this
year.
