MORE MONEY NEEDED
Chittendcn County Farm Bureau May
NnIse Membership Fees

A special meeting Of the Chttenden
County Farm Bureau is called for
saturday, October 80, at one o'clock
Morrill, Hall, to discuss and adopt suit
able amendments to the constitution
and bylaws covering membership fees
to meet present needs
In explanation of the necessity for
action in this matter of finance, atten-
ton is called to the following state
ments:
l. The county favors q farm bureau
with three paid agents working with
men, women, boys and girls.
g A budget covering the minimum
necessary expenditures for the year
ending June 30, 1921, calls for at least
$4,000 more than can be raised from
public funds,
g. To raise this sum by subscrip-
ton for boys and girls and the pres
ent membership fee increased to cover
fee to American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton would require doubling the
present membership and give no chance
for progress
d The American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON is n national organization, re-
presenting the farmer in national econ
omic and Legislative matters. Its
strength lies in the strength Of the To-
cal county organizations.
). The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton recommends placing the County
Farm Bureau on a strong financial and
business basis by adopting perma-
nent fee of SO per year per farm
This membership includes the whole
family and goes to cover the expense
of three or more agents workin with
men, women, boys and girls.
g. \ county is placed on this basis
with strong thorough membershi r
campaign signing members for life
with privilege Of revoking at end OF
any Year, and using trained workers
as solicitors.
I. Addison and Windsor counties
have already adopted this basis OF
work In Addison county. so per cent OF
the men seen have been secured as
members at SO.
s. The adoption of this fee in chit
tenden county would enable the Farm
Bureau with ZOO members, which from
results in other counties would seem
possible, to greatly increase the pro-
gram Of work. All Farm Bureau mem
bers and others interested In agricul-
tural organization are invited and
urged to he present at this meeting.

COFFEE

Discovered In the Thirteenth Century
by a dervish named IIadji Omar.
Made its first appearance in CONSTANT
nOple in 1854
Became so popular that the mosques
were deserted for the coffee-houses.
Introduced into France in 1869 by Solo,
mon Aga, amba ssador Of Mohammed "
First coffee house opened in Paris by
Pascal, an Armenian, In 1879.
The cafe Procope, haunt OF Voltaire
Marst. Robespierre and Danton, opened
in 1889
English merchant by the name Of Ed
wards introduced tho beverage into Eng
land In 1852.
Charles II attempted to close all the
coifce houses, hut was forced TO rescind
his proclamation.
Samuel Adams, Pau! Revere and many
other men prominent in the American
Revolution patronized the Colonial cot.
fee-houses.
United states now consumes more than
!, 900 On 000 pounds 3 year.
Arabia, Brazil, Central America Vene-
znla. Columbia, Mexico ana the East and
West indies are the chief producing ooun-
tries that to-day send the rich harvest
OF their fields TO the waiting markets OF
the world. On the gently sloping hill
Sides Of the coffee country are literally
millions upon millions of coffee trees
Miles and miles OF them stretch up and
down the rolling countryside RS far as
the eve can see-great broad waves OF
green, with the narrow Ines of the rich
soil showing in marked contrast with the
green Of the leaves Here and there on
the lower slopes Of the hills are the
white buildings of tho 'fazendas," great
rounded by gardens filled with palm,
banana. orange and mango trees.
harvesting begins in May and lasts
well into August and September. This Is
what is known az the dry season when
weather conditions are favorable, not
only for the harvest itself but for dry
ing and transporting the crop after it is
gathered In picking the coffee the
boughs are pulled down with the left
hand and held at the outer end. while
the right hand is run along the bough
from the base to the tip, thus stripping
off the berries as well rs many leaves
and twigs In this work of harvesting
all the loborers on the "iazcnda" take
part-men, women and children. Several
hundred or even thousand pairs OF hands
on each large plantation are thus buslly
employed in gathering the seasons crop
In one day laborer may gather enough
coffee berries TO make fifty pounds Of
dried coffee.
The fruit OF the coffee tree when ripe
resembles n crimson cherry or cranberry
in general appearance. This coffee berry,
as 1t is called, contains two seeds, flat
on one side and convex on the other, the
flat sides being together. These seeds
are embedded In sticky, whitsh pulp,
which Is removed by what is known as
the pulping process, and this in turn is
subsequently followed by the various
other processes of drying, hulling, clean
ing and sorting
