his customary official language be-

"German-Americans" furnished the
key of approach. Quite possibly this
Marathon City audience would have
preferred plain Americans" The re-

Farmer Protected From Taxation

The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton is making forceful effort to revise
the Federal tax laws. AS a result. the
Ralston Nolan Bill with its billion dol
lar tax on farm land may never bios
som. This is also true of the pro-
posed tax of one per cent on sales OF
all commodities, both wholesale and
retail-a tax which would raise billions
of dollars revenue, large proportion
of which would have to be borne by
farmers.
At the National Industrial Tax Con-
ference in New York City last week
the advocates of a sales tax made
strong fight to save it but H. {. Nc
Kenzie and J. R. Howard OF the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation CON
WINGED most of the delegates that a
one per cent tax on the sales OF farm
products cannot be passed on to the
buver. and that the farmers profits
are already so small that he cannot
stand the addtionl tax. Furthermore,
this tax is not economically sound, n
that 95 per cent of the burden oil the
tax is passed to the consumer, who in
the majority of cases is the man Of
small means. while the wealthy classes
would bear a proportion far below their
ability to pay.
The sales tax is double edged for
the farmer. He cannot pass IT on;
he would pay it on his own products.
The manufacturer, wholesaler, and re-
taller can pass it on AS the farmer
is a large consumer of manufactured
goods, he would pay one-half the sales
tax every year on the goods he buys
Mr.. Mckenzie. a member OF the
New York State Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has been representing the
American Farm Bureau Federation be-
fore the National Industrial Tax Con-
ference. This means much for the
farmers as Mr.. Mckenzie has made a
great and successful fight for the farm
er's interests.
The industrial and business interests
have been making a strenuous attempt
to unload their heavy taxes on to
somebody else. Mr.. Mckenzie recog-
nizes that the Excess Profit Tax and
Income Tax need revision. He is de-
termined however, to keep those taxes
He feels that those people who are
best able to bear the burden must
pay their share Of the taxes.

MORE MILK IN WINTER
N. E. M. P. A. Appoints Special Com
mittee to Work on Equalizing Sup
ply and Stabilizing Price

Efforts to stabilize the dairy indus
try so that farmer will receive a more
even income throughout the year from
the sale of milk are being made by the
New England Milk Producers Associl
ton. A special committee is consider
ing ways of stimulating farmers to
produce more milk in winter when it
is scarce, thus tending to equali2e the
supply and stabilize the price This
stimulation is to be given through the
adoption of a rating plan.
Under the present conditions milk
dealers in the cities have had &c go
into a wider and wider field 10 buy
milk enough for the increasing city
trade in the short months, while IN the
months of greater production they
could get sufficient for the city needs
much nearer. At present the dealer
buys all that the farmer produces the
year around, and in the surplus season
pays a lower price for that proportion
of milk which has to be made into
butter, cheese, casein or other dairy
products and sold at a lower price
than whole milk brings.
The proposed rating plan provides
that every dairy farmer will be given a
rating. on the three months in which
there is the least surplus milk, and
that he shall be paid whole milk
prices throughout the year for approx
imately the amount he produces dur
ing these three short months any eX-
cess over this amount to be paid for
at the lower surplus price. This will
tend to increase the supply of milk in
the short months as any farmer will
be DESTROYS of establishing a high rat
ing.
The question of surplus has been a
stumbling block to all plans for sell
ing milk on an equitable basis in the
past. Farmers have complained bit
terly at the low prices they have re-
ceived for a considerable portion OF
their milk during the flush season.
If some practical application of the
rating plan can be worked out by the
special committee of the New England
Milk Producers Association the rem
edy for low prices for summer milk will
be in each farmers hands. If he wants
to get a more even price throughout
the year he must even up his produc-
ton. The higher rating he can estab-
lish in the short months, the greater
proportion of his surplus months milk
will bring the standard price.

Lamoille County Aroused

Lamoille County held a meeting at
Morrisville, Monday evening, the Sth.
Lamoille has had a Farm Bureau only
three years and has not had a Home
Demonstration or a Boys and Girls
Club Leader.
Although they are new at the work
they mean business. Monday evening
was rainy, but the meeting was large
and enthusiastic. After listening to E.
B. Cornwall OF Middlebury, the State
Director of Membership Campaign,
they voted to put on a $40 member
ship campaign next Spring. During the
winter they plan to form strong com
munity organizations and make plans
for getting a Home Demonstrator'
Lamoille is a small county but judg-
ing from the interest aroused at the
meeting it is likely to line up ahead OF
some larger counties.
Four OF the larger counties are put
ting on a $40 drive this Fall. Two
more large counties are planning a
drive in the Spring.

FIVE CROP RECORDS
BROKEN IN 1920
U, S. Farmers Grow Most Corn
Tobacco, Sweet Potatoes, Rice
and Pears in History

Washington, Nov s. American
farmers broke production records of
five crops this year, Preliminary es-
Inmates announced today by the de-
partment of agriculture show the corn,
tobacco, rice, sweet potatoes and pear
crops surpassed in size those of any
previous year in the country's history
In addition very large crops were
grown, in some instances closely APP
preaching records of oats barley, rye,
potatoes, apples and hay. The buck
wheat production record, however, has
stood since 1866 with this years crop
more than 100000 bushels under it.
Final crop production figures will be
announced next month
Corn, king of all crops and of which
the United States grows more than
20 per cent of the worlds output,
reached the enormous total of $780,
10000 bushels That is 75,000,000
bushels more than ever before grown
in any year, This is the third corn
crop to exceed 3000000,000 bushels,
the previous record having been made
in 1912, while the crop of 1917 was - E
second largest.
Value is Less
In point of value this years crop
will not equal that of last year Based
on the December l price which 'as
Sl39 bushel, it was worth S3934,-
$4,000 The crop of 1912 was valu d
at Sl,520,454,000 on December / price
of 4S.7 cents a bushel, and the 1917
crop at S3920,22S,000 with the Decem-
Der price almost $l30 a bushel.
The value of this years crop, based
on the November farm price, which
was S73 cents a bushel, is estimated
at S2,792,S37000.
Iowa's corn crop is the largest of
any state at 44l,660,000 bushels. ILL
nois ranks second with 302,63i, 000
bushels. and Nebraska third at 250,-
99S,000 bushels
Big Tobacco Output
The tobacco crop this year, placed
at 476,444,O00 pounds by the prelimin-
airy estimate, is 100000 pounds rre
than grown last year, when all pre-
vious records were broken. Virginia
North Carolina and South Carolina
exceeded their last years production
while Kentucky's crop this year is 3f,-
100000 pounds less than year ago
Production of rice this year exceeds
by 100000 bushels the previous llrg-
est crop in 1917 The output this
year is placed at 52,29S,00O bushels, al
most half of which was grown i'll LOUIS
lana.
The sweet potato harvest will Show
l05,676,O00 bushels which is 2,OoOOOC
bushels more than grown last year
when the crop exceeded all previous
years production. Alabama's output
is larger than any other states.
TIE crop of pears this year IS placed
at 15,55S,000 The previous largest
crop was that of 1917 when 1921 .0W
bushels were produced. Califcrnia
produced more than 100000 bushels
while New York's production IS al
most 2,250,000 bushels.

SUMMARY OF
CORN VARIETY TESTS

The following table is a summary of
the corn variety tests held in the
County during the past summer Nine
varieties of corn were used. Nine fields
were started but unfortunately only
seven completed the tests.
The first six varieties were included
in all tests the last three were in only
one test and therefore the results of
these are not really comparable with
the first six.
The tons per acre given are the ac-
tual weights of the corn at time
of cutting, no allowance being made
for loss of moisture in handling
The value per ton, from which we
obtained the value per acre, are figures
prepared by Prof H. B. Ellenberger,
U. V. M, Agricultural College, from
average analysis figures, valuing food
matter at hay and corn prices. Corn
in glazed stage is worth $40 per ton,
milk tage Sc, silk stage $3.50 and
tassel stage So.
In studying this chart we wish to
call your attention to the fact that
although some of the larger growing
varieties had a much larger growth per
acre and a larger percentage of ears,
they did not reach the stage of matur-
ity which would give them the great
est value per aCrce.
The Gold Nugget, a large eight row
flint corn, in one test made an excel
lent growth and reached stage of
maturity giving it the greatest value
per acre.
The Oil Dent is an early growing
dent which has been grown in the
County two years and has given very
good satisfaction as a silage corn espe-
cially in the hilly parts of the county.
Early Triumph made good growth
in all tests and was found to be quite
a bit earlier than P. of Nishna. P. of
Michigan and Leaning. U. S. Selec-
ton which surpassed all other varieties
last year still showed up we'll this
year This is a large eight rowed flint
and in ordinary seasons will mature.
Realizing that it costs about $50 per
acre to raise corn. we can see the
necessity of raising a variety of silage
corn that will yield us the greatest
value per acre.
Our racords show that over 2OC
farmers in the County purchased over
1000 bushels of seed corn through the
Exchange, practically all of this being
varieties recommended by the Farm
Bureau. The saving in the use of bet
ter varieties can be estimated only
roughly but it is safe to say that
through the use of better varieties OF
silage corn thousands of dollars will be
saved during the winter on grain bills
