E. B. CORNWALL SPEAKER
AT N. Y. F. B. MEETING
Middlebury Man Addrs- Empire
State Farmers Eroute to National
Bureau Meeting

+. 3. Cornwall of Middlebury adj
dressed the New York State Farm Blu
reau Federation meeting in Syracuse,
Wednesday evening Immediately af-
ter he left for indianapolis where as a
member of the executive committee he
will sit in the councils of the Amer
iCau Farm Bureau Federation during
the annual meeting next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. Among the
problems that will be discussed at the
convention are taxation, tariff, Coopera-
tive marketing, a national milk con-
ference, the farm to-market road pol
icy, and similar propositions of para
mount importance to the farmers OF
the nation.
The Vermont State Farm Bureau
Federation has written to the States U.
S. Senators and Congressman in order
to determine their position relative to
these questions.
The genuineness of the effort of the
national organization to study the
problems of agriculture may be learn
ed from the interest taken in its an
nual meeting by such eminent men as
Governor Goodrich of Indiana, Sir
Auckland Geddes. British Ambassador
to the United States, Governor w. P,
G.. Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board, Henry c. Wallace, Milo d.
Campbell, President of the National
Milk Producers Association and such
others who will address the convention.
Mr.. Cornwall is of the opinion that
the meeting will be of untold benefit to
the farmers of the nation in that it will
promote legislation of advantage to
them and begin another advance to-
ward putting the product of the farm
more directly into the homes Of the
consumer to their mutual profit.

For their meals they had the canned

RUTLAND RAILROAD
USES BLOCK SYSTEM
Standardization Telephone Dispatch
ing Method Now Being Installed

A station-to-station block telephone
signal system is now being installed on
the Rutland railroad between Alburg
and Bellows Falls, a distance of about
l60 miles The work is being done by
employees of the Western Union Tele-
graph company.
A system of this character has been
tried and proven successful on the
single track lines of the New York
Central railroad The work on the
Rutland road has progressed as far as
Grand Isle and officials estimate that
Bellows Falls will be reached shortly
after the first of the year.
1t was stated recently that it was
thought probable that the number of
dispatches and operators would have
to be increased in order to handle the
new system efficiently. At the present
time the d:spatching of trains over the
lines of the Rutland railroad has been
done entirely by the use OF the tele-
graph and it is thought that by the
new system the dispatching will be
done much more efficiently and safely.
The Rutland road is the only rail
road on this side OF the state that I'LL
be using this system of block signals,
although the automatic block system
is i'll use on certain sections If the
Boston & Maine irons in the southern
part of the state.

WORKMEN GASSED
WHILE THRESHING
Poisonous Exhaust Piles Up in
Closed Barn, Overcoming Three

While working with a threshing ma
chine in the barn OF c. ]. Matthews,
situated a mile and half from Mid
dlebury, three men were overcome by
the exhaust gases last Friday Her
bert Peacock was the most seriously
affected, being rendered unconscious
for several hours. Isaac Derusha was
prevented from working in the after
noon, having been stricken before din
ner, but recovered without any unus-
ual consequences. George Bell also
was taken i'll while at work in the hay
NOW over the machine. He became
unconscious for a time Upon the res
toration Of his faculties he remarked
that his experience was similar to being
gassed overseas while a member Of the
American Expeditionary Forces
The operator of the machine, Ceylon
Eddy, was not affected by the gases
He was the only one in direct contact
with the machine. His immunity my
be explained in that the volatility of
the escaping poisonous gas brought it
to the roof, where finding no vent it
became imprisoned and in a short
time had so accumulated that the lives
of the workers in the hay NOV were
imperilled The three men stricken
were all engaged in the upper story OF
the barn.
The operation of gas or kerosene
engine is not attended with such i'll
effects unless as in this case the venti-
lation is poor. Ordinarily the gases
are nondiscernable and are quickly
neutralized in the floods of fresh air
and rendered harmless.

So P. G. DROP IN
RAW FUR PRICES
Low Prices Have Prevented Animal
Slaughter

The price made on raw furs IN Bur
lington was published Tuesday by the
Burlington Rendering Company, the
largest buyer of furs in Vermont and
northern New York. The prices as
compared with last years show fall
ing off ranging all the way from SIS
per cent, as in the case OF muskrat,
to so per cent. The effect of the great
reduction in the prices paid is already
manifested in the diminished amount
of furs. which are being brought in.
The quantity sold to the buyers this
year is the smallest in years AS a
result in the reduction in price and
the fact that fewer people are going
into the trapping business it is esti-
mated that the revenue received from
the fur-bearing animals in Vermont
estimated to reach more than S50O,000
last year, will fall below Sl00,0O0 this
wear

The Prices Paid

The price paid for skunk this year
Is $1.75 while last year it reached at
high water mark. S.. The prices paid
for the other leaders are as follows com
pared with the high water mark of last
year: muskrat $50 were $3.50; fox So
were SIS to $40; coon So were $40;
mink $6 were $12 and ermine $50 we're
$50.
The largest falling off in the receipts
of furs is shown in the muskrats, Last
year there were thousands in the com
panys warehouse at this season and
this year there are very few. The rea-
son is that the boys, attracted by the
attractive prices of last year, will not
go into the business this year, as they
have become accustomed to making so
much larger money. This is in the
face of the fact that the price this
year is far larger than the average,
They hate to become accustomed to
lower prices. This has a beneficial
effect in the fur resources of Vermont
as it was feared last year with the
great slaughtr of the little animals,
they would be almost exterminated if
repeated this year and a closed season
was contemplated.
