ST. AUSUsTINE, Fla, Feb. 13.-
Although several decisions remain 10
be made in regard to cabinet selec-
tions, Pres't-elect Harding is conf
dent the problem will be solved in a
way acceptable TO all elements of his
party.
Commenting Sunday on reports OF
serious friction among republican
leaders, the president-elect declared
he knew OF no feeling on the cabinet
question which did not grow out OF
the normal and proper activities Of
the friends OF contestinE aspirants
for places I'm his official family. He
said he was satisfied with the prog
ress made and felt the whole situa-
ton was tending 10 a happy solu-
ton.
Mr.. Harding mentioned no names
and did not refer directly to pub
lished stories that some republican
senator's had vigorously opposed GER
tain tentative selections. He did
deny. however, stories that he was
encountering more delay than he
had expected in completing hts cabi-
net slate.
Receives Petitions.
One OF the movements which has
taken on greater proportions recent
y is that for selection Of a southern
republican to the cabinet. The pres
ident-slect said he had received
many petitions in support of Rep.
Slemp OF Virginia and several others
from southern states. but regarded
these as more personal than sec
tionai in their nature. He would
throw no light on his intentions in
regard 10 southern representation on
the cabinet.
Although Mr.. Harding is consider
ing the question OF diplomatic ap-
pointments along with the cabinet
problem, il Is not expected now that
he will attempt any selections for
diplomatic posts before Inaugural
tion. Some OF those now considered
for the cabinet may later be trans
ferred TO the ambassadorial list. but
the cabinet personnel will be defln-
itely determined first

White pine is the most valuable tree
for crop production in the eastern and
lake states. 1t is a highly profitable
crop. 1t makes rapid growth, and has
high stumpage value. In the eastern
states, large areas have been relorest-
ed with white pine and these trees are
depended upon to furnish the future
timber supply of this region. No other
tree can take its place. Vermont has
large areas of land suitable for pro-
ducing white pine that can not be used
for other agricultural purposes. 1t is,
therefore, important that the currant
and gooseberry bushes be destroyed to
protect present stands of young pine
and to insure continued production.
The Department in cooperation with
state agencies has demonstrated that
the disease can be effectively control

1t has been able, at various times in
the past, to render particularly bene-
fetal service to the people of Vermont.
| am thinking particularly of the en-
forcement of the Food and Drugs Act,
which the Department administers
through the Bureau of Chemistry. The
people of Vermont like the people of
other States. are interested in the en-
deavors of the Department to prevent
entrance into the state of adultaTated
and misbranded foods, buu Vermont
people have also an interest, as pro-
ducers, of the largest output of maple
sugar of any state, in the efforts of the
Department to prevent the sale OF
cheaper sugars and syrups under the
name of maple sugar and syrup, and
particularly as Vermont maple sugar
and syrup When the food and drugs
law was first enacted there was being
sold all over the United States large
quantities of so-called maple syrup and
maple sugar, which were composed
principally of low grades of cane syr-
ups or glucose. AS a result of prose-
cutions and seizures made, this form of
misbranding and adulterating has been
very greatly reduced We still find in
stances occasionally where some dealer
tries to ship within the jurisdiction of
the Food and Drugs Act cane syrup
and glucose, or a mixture of these, as
maple syrup.
Sometimes these products are labeled
merely as table syrup with picture Of
a maple leaf on the label, which carries
with it the suggestion that the table
syrup is maple syrup In other in
stances some such name as "mapeline",
which suggests maple syrup, is adopted

court imposed fine and the Depart
ment believes that this particular form
of trespass upon the rights OF the peo
pie of Vermont will not be repeated,
The department will do all it can TN

cheaper syrups are not sold under the

Morev Relieves Brown Of Coaching

The name of Professor Arthur NJ.
Brown, Head of the Department OF
Physical Education, was wrongly
printed with the title Assistant Coach
on the football schedules recently dis
tributed. When Prof. Brown came to
Mddlebury, he took charge II all
varsity sports but the growth OF track,
mira mural sports, and the work of the
Department of Physical Education
made necessary a division OF his duties
last year. The engagement of Dave
Morey as a coach for football and base
ball relieves Prof. Brown of all Off
cial responsibility for the coaching OF
those sports and enables him to de-
vote his time to coaching gymnasium
and track and to the further develop
ment of the Department Of Physical
Education. The establishment Of the
required course in Physical Education
for all freshman men makes necessary
assistance for Prof. Brown in the labo-
ratory work OF that course. Eugene l..
Robinson and Erwin NJ Drost have
been appointed to have charge of this
work under Prof. Browns direction,
This arrangement makes it possible for
Prof. Brown to offer, in addition to
the fundamental course in Physical
Training and Hygiene, Gymnasium
Training, and Athletic Coaching.

of increasing the net income from the
farm. And our specialists suspect that
many Vermont farmers are in danger
of becoming so exclusively interested
in dairying as to neglect such profitable
cash crops as hay, potatoes, winter
wheat, buckwheat and cabbage.
Urges Cooperation With Farm Bureau
In order rightly to solve the problems
that have already risen and that will
arise during the years ahead, great
deal of scientific reserch will continue
to be necessary. Some of that research
we shall be able to conduct in the De
partment, but much of it will be OF
such an intimate and local nature that
it can be successfully handled only by
scientific organizations within the state.
1t is to be hoped therefore, that the
state of Vermont will assume a liberal
attitude toward your state agricultural
college. We are sure that farm organi-
cations such as the Grange and the
Farm Bureau can accomplish great
deal toward bringing about a better
situation in this regard
Departments Interest in A d olson
County
The Department of Agriculture is
giving all the help it can through its
extension forces in carrying sound agrl-
cultural education to the farmers and
housewives of Vermont. We are CO.
operating in the employment OF 10
county agents, one in each important
agricultural county of the state; Z
county home demonstration agents;
and Z county club agents. In addition,
we are cooperating in the employment
of one leader in each Of these three
lines of work at the college and a state
farm management demonstration. You
are already familiar with the work
done in Addison County through those
agencies. The county agent started III
this county in 1915, at the same time
that the Farm Bureau was organized.
We have been greatly interested III the
work that your present county agent IS
doing in the way of a county survey to
ascertain the tendency toward the use
of purebred sires, and we have been
much gratifed also by the interest
manifested by Addison County farm
ers in your cow-tesIing association,
your county farmers exchange and
other organizations designed to pro-
mote better agricultural conditions.
It's Protection of Our Maple Sugar
We should like you to feel that in
these as in other phases of your work
