Keeping Tabs on Potatoes

A large number of Vermont farmers
are planning to keep record of the
expense of growing potatoes this sea-
son. V doing this they hope to be
able to decide on the acreage of pota-
toes they can afford to plant under
existing economic conditions.
These accounts will be kept on blank
forms, prepared by NJ ?. Rasmussen,
Farm Management Specialist of the
Agricultural Extension Service of the
University of Vermont and State Ag
rcultural College, arlington, VT, and
the forms will be furnished free Of
charge to any Vermont farmer who
asks for one. These forms are so
simple that anyone can readily keep
them and learn his cost OF production.
ANY grower who is interested in learn
ing what it costs him to grow his pota-
toes, can secure these forms by apply
ing to his local County Agent at the
Farm Bureau Office or direct from the
Agricultural Extension Service, Burl-
ington, VT.
1t is to the interest of both producer
and consumer that accurate cost OF
production figures on farm products be
obtained so that production may be
made to coincide more nearly with de-
mand and thus avoid much dissatis-
faction incident to the payment OF
too high or too low prices A very
low price discourages the farmer from
planting and as a consequence the con-
sumner suffers from a scarcity OF pro-
duct with resultant high prices. If
prices are too high, the consumer eats
less and the farmer is equally bad off
BY asceuaining costs and the most
efficient methods of production, it will
be possible to introduce a stabilizing
influence which will work out for the
best interests of all concerned.

HEALTH COMMITTEES
tuberculosis Association Proposes to
Organize One in Each District

The Vermont tuberculosis assoca-
tion proposes to organize a public
health committee in each of the ten
health districts of the State. In order
to do this, the association has asked
each of its two thousand members to
vote for one person in their respective
towns to represent the town on a dis
trict health committee 1t is proposed
to call these representatives together
from each town and have them elect
a smaller executive committee, which
shall meet every month with the dis
trict public nurse, the district health
officer and the secretary of the Yer
mont tuberculosis association,
The Tuberculosis association is grad
ually placing a nurse in each of the ten
health districts AS soon as a nurse
begins work a number of problems
arise which it is felt could be answered
much more satisfactorily by a COM
mittee composed OF residents OF the dif
ferent districts. than from the state
office 1t is expected in the course Of
the year to organize ten public health
committees which will appoint eXecu-
tive committees which will meet regu-
larry every other month In these
meetings the towns will be represented
by their chosen delegates, the State
Board OF Health by the District Health
Officer, while the secretary Of the Yer
mont tuberculosis association who will
attend all the district meetings will be
able to give each district committee
the benefit of the experience of the
Others.
The first work for the district nurse
S to see that the cases Of tuberculosis
are under proper supervision. From
this, the work will expand to such ed
vocational work as the formation OF
Modern Health Crusade and the organ
ization, with the help of local physi
clans of clinics for nose and throat
troubles as well as for tuberculosis
If this organization is successful, event
ually it is planned to tackle the big
problem of defective eyesight and un
cared for teeth in children.
The purpose of the district commit
tee is not to duplicate work that is be-
ing done in any localities by Red
Cross or local societies. but to make
sure that every portion OF each dis
trict is served as far as it is possible.

TROUT STREAM COURTESY
Farmers Can be Made Friends if
Fishermen Respect Their Rights

Napoleon Bonaparte remarked that
the extra effort required to make an
absolutely wrong thing absolutely right
was so slight that he wondered why Sc
many failed to take it. With the
trout season Just around the corner
and the sportsmen of the state busy
oiling reels patching boots and Snug
Cling new and expensive rods into their
homes in anticipation OF the opening
day, the State Department of Fish
and Game think it wise to call atten-
ton to the fact that the average fish
erman is the farmers guest and should
conduct his excursions to agree with
the usages of hospitality.
A gate left shut that was found
open; or a gate left open that was
found shut may seem an unimportant
thing to a man eager to reach favor
lite trout pool, but it may mean a
serious financial loss to the landowner.
If the carelessness becomes habitual
the farmer has only one recourse for
protection-to close his land to the
public.
Inc IuleS WHlCH mOSl spun lSlutH OD-
serve are simple and, as Napoleon re-
marked, require so little extra effort
that it is strange that they are ever
broken
Leave gates, fences and bars as you
find them.
Walk around the edge of a planted
field and not across it.
Be careful OF matches and cigarette
butts.
If dog is with you keep him away
from the farmers livestock.
Farmers are human, and most of
them are sportsmen; it does no harm
to look UP the landowner and get his
permission to fish on his property If,
on your way home, you can manage
to stop at the farmers house, show
him your basket and thank him for
the days pleasure. He will appreciate
the courtesy and the brooks on his
farm will never be closed against you
The present freedom enjoyed by
Vermont sportsmen can be curtailed
most effectively by failure to respect
the rights of the landowner.

better hurry up and "come across with
it,"
Forbes, prepared for such an emer-

instead. He dashed around from be-

against the door Of his shop and, with
his revolver leveled, turned to face the
intruders.
