IMMENSE VALUE
OF VERMONT'S
FARM PRODUCTS
100000 Acre Hay Crop of
1920 Alone Is Worth More
Than S30,360,000

The census figures recently issued
show that in 1919 Nermont'S dairy
products, not including home use of
milk and cream, amounted to $27,-
IS, 1874. 1t is probable that the fig
urcs for 1920 are even larger the
census ngures indicate that in Yer
mon. produced eggs in 1919 which
were worth S2,73S,345, and chickens
valued at $1,300,150 According to
the United States Crop Reporter,
Ne:mont's maple products in 1920
We're worth S4,149,050, Adding to
the crop values for 1920 the figures
quoted for dairy products, eggs, poul-
nv and maple sugar and syrup, the
total is S7I142,399 This does not
include the sale Of beef, veal, NUT
ton, lamb. wool, honey, and various
othe. commodities which might in
clude forest products. 1t is probable
that the annual value OF Velmont's
farm products exceeds S80,000,000.
This amount exceeds considerably the
total gold production Of 1919 in the
/ nitcd States, which was valued at
&3S,2S5.196.
A comparison Of figures shows that
Vermont stands at the head of the
list in bushels of corn per acre; that
only one state shows a little yield per
acre Of buck wheat and rye and that
only two states east Of the Rocky
mountains exceeded Vermont in
bushels OF potatoes per acre.
In 1920 Vermont had $4,000 acres
OF corn, valued at $1,175.000; oats,
81 goo acres, valued at S2,126,000;
rye 1000 acres valued at $26,000
spring wheat, 11,000, valued at
100000; buckwheat, 5000, valued a,
S17S,000; potatoes, 27000, valued at
$4,3SS,000; hay, 10000 acres valued
at S20,360,000; apples, 100000
bushels valued at $2,400000
These figures show an increase in
production in most instances over
1919, in spite of the high price and
shortage OF help and other adverse
conditions. Every indication points
TO a record ear and bumper agri-
cultural showing for Vermont in
1921.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
HAVE A PROBLEM
BECAUSE OF Flood
Some Portions of City Have
Less Population Than
Before June 3

An important problem facing the
schools ON both the north and the
south side when opening day rolls
around next Tuesday, will be the read
justment necessary as result of the
flood.
Three populous. sections in the cen
tral portion of the city We're stricken
by the flood and regardless of how
many of the children in the various
school sections may have lost their
lives, there is a question where those
living are now located with regard to
the school districts.
Are the refugees families from the
Grove mostly residing now on the
south side, IN district 90, or are they
on both sides of the Arkansas river?
Likewise, are the Riverside and the
Peppersauce Bottoms refugees still on
the. north side. or are they divided UP
into school districts and If the latter,
in what proportions.
It is an unprecedented problem upon
which considerable depends in the
matter of spportionins pupils and
therefore teachers.
District 20 has its school building
Wildeboor ready in the Grove: like
wise district / has its school building
known as Riverside repaired.
The process of adjustment will be
interesting and at the same time a
somewhat arduous task.
District 90 has $50 teachers en-
gagged, and there is waiting list. Mon
day evening there will he a meeting
OF all teachers and the superintendent
and principals at the Central school
auditorium. at which time such ad-
justmsnts as possible will he made.
One hundred and thirty teachers
have signed contracts to teach in Dis
trict number l this year: IS of these
are in the high school; II of them are
special supervisors: the others are
grade school teachers. It is expected
that this will provide a staff of teach
ers for all of the pupils. altho the
number attending this year is not
thought to have decreased on account
of the flood. An investigation of the
Riverside locality shows that there
are SIS or 10 less boys and girls than
We're living there last year This loss

"DAWDLERS" NOT LONG LIVED
Prominent British Manufacturer Points
Out That Active Man of Busi-
ness Reaches Old Age.

Lord Leverhulme, one Of Great
Britain's largest manufacturers, asserts
that more people shorten their lives
by dawdling in England than by
hustling. He is a living proof that
hustling promotes hale old age. He
has always led the strenuous life, and
at 20 is still going strong.
He presided at the annual meeting
of the British Industrial Safety First
association the other day. In his ad-
dress he drew largely upon his Ameri-
can experience. Steps had been taken
there, he said, to ascertain whether 1t
was the hustling. bustling business
man who was supposed to shorten his
days, or the man who crawled and
dawdled through life.
He declared there were men in the
United States today of so 90 and be-
tween 90 and 100 years Of age who
were still In good health and actively
engaged in business, whereas men who
had retired early from business had
shortened their lives thereby.
He thought the crawl Of the dawdler
was largely instrumental In shortening
the lives OF individuals in Great Brit
ain-that the more a man worked,
whether professionally or in other vo-
cations. the more he would conserve
his life and strength and the life and
commerce Of the country.
