Orleans Aid Association.

Plans have been started for the es.
tablishment of a permanent fund tc
assist in defraying the medical ana
hospital expenses of needy patients
from the village of Orleans. This
fund will be deposited in the bank
and will be subject to the order of an
executive committee that will pass
on all requests for assistance by th1
local physicians or institutions.
Such a fund has been uppermost in
the thoughts of many of the local
people. Tuesday evening about q
dozen of the citizens of the village
met to discuss the project The Or
leans Aid association was assumed
temporarily as the working name OF
the fund. A temporary organization
was affected with the following Off
GERS: President, j. G. Turnbull; Sec
retary, {. ID. French; treasurer, r. A.
Bean. An executive committee of
eight persons was elected.
A permanent name, constitution.
and staff of officers will be elected as
soon as an opportunity is given to
the people of the village to become
members and thus help in the direc-
tlon of the association. Nineteen in
dividuals have indicated their desire
W OecoHe cHarCer members by sub
scribing the membership fee of one
dollar each to the fund. This num-
ber will, undoubtedly be increased
within a short time. At the request
of the association, the Orleans high
school kindly consented to repeat the
play, "The ColonePs Maid," as a BEN
eft to start the fund The drawing
class is assisting by making the pos
ters for the performance which will
be given Thursday evening, May IL,
at the Orleans Opera House. Ad-
mission adults 35 cents, children un-
der IL, 25 cents, plus war tax. A
dance will follow the play. Girls
from the Junior Red Cross will have
tickets for sale and will give an op-
portunity to all interested to assist
in promoting this worthy cause.

Special Farm Bureau Meeting.

The Executive committee of the
Farm Bureau met at Hotel Barton
Friday, May 7th. Those present were
Pres. Dutton, Messrs. Shaw, Niles,
Kelley, Williams, Cook, Mrs. j. H.
Bartlett, Agents Abel and Bacon,
Mr.. Carrigan, Asst. state county
leader, and Mr.. Wilson, assistant, in
charge of County Agent work in the
ten Eastern states.
The coming membership campaign
was fully discussed. Mr.. Carrigan
outlined the method of carrying on
membership campaigns in other coun-
ties, particularly those on the $40
family membership basis, and gave
the reasons why such campaigns were
necessary. At present Addison,
Windsor, Chittenden, Rutland, Wash
ington, and Franklin couties have
adopted the $40 family membership
plan.
The committee voted to recommend
that the Orleans County Farm Bureau
adopt the $40 plan, and that a spe-
cial meeting be held at Orleans some
time this month to decide the ques-
ton. The date of Saturday afternoon
May 21st, has been definitely set for
this meeting. E. B. Cornwall of Mid
dlebury, president of the Vermont
Farm Bureau federation, and Mr..
Cooper of the Illinois federation, who
is now working in Vermont and New
Hampshire, have promised to address
the meeting.
(Signed) B. R. Buchanan,
Sec. County Farm Bureau.

The Cost of Production

AS never before the farmer is now
realizing the Importance of cost of
production figures. With practically
all crops selling below cost, it is high
time every farmer who intends to
stay in business, sits up, does some
good, hard thinking and gets busy.
Yes, and busy with pencil and fig
ures. Guess work no longer goes.
The farmer must be protected, but
there is no help for those who will
not help themselves. Americans are
not seeking charity, in fact, no one
expects the farmers to sacrifice in the
sale of their products, but how is a
fair price for farm products to be
determined when the farmer himself
does not know what it has cost him
to produce such crops. The public in
general is willing to pay the farmer
cost of production plus a reasonable
profit if they only know what that
cost of production is, but, when the
farmer himself does not know what
it cost him to produce quart of milk
or bushel of potatoes, how can he
expect to receive the fair price. To
sell below cost is certainly not a
business proposition and cannot long
continue. No one but the farmer can
get the cost account figures. An ex-
ira effort is being made this year by
the Farm Bureau to collect reliable
data, in Orleans county on the cost
of producing maple products, dairy
products and potatoes. Blanks for
keeping those accounts are furnished
free of charge on application to the
Farm Bureau office and assistance in
starting same is available Let's SEE
Orleans county do her share in oh
tanning these cost account figures.

Those who knew him best well saw,
He has fought a good fight, he has
finished his course, he has kept the
faith; henceforth there is laid UP for
him a crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous Judge. shall
give at that. day, and not to him onlv.
but unto all them also that love his
appearing"
CARD-The Blake family wish to
extend heartfelt thanks to all WHO
with kind words and deeds aided

The Future of Our Forests.

At the rate our forests are being
depleted the question arises "What of
the Future" with hundreds of car
loads of pulp, Christmas trees, and
lumber being shipped annually from
our hillsides, the supply cannot last
indefinitely, unless more attention is
gwen toward replacing those remov-
ed
Millions of acres of land in Ver-
mont are idle and should be growing
trees. There are at least 10 acres Of
land on the average farm which needs
planting to forest trees for the pur-
pose in many cases, of growing anoth-
er set of buildings. A large supply
OF seedlings is ready for distribu-
ton by the State Department of Agri-
culture at a minimum price. Anyone
interested should communicate with
the State Department or the Farm
Bureau office.

Butter Substitutes VS.. Surplus Milk.

Butter Substitutes VS.. Surplus Milk.
An official of the N. E. M. P. A. on
a recent trip through Vermont finds
the following deplorable conditions in
actual existence in one of our COM
munities which is only an example of
the average rural community of New
England.
AT the four stores visited by the
official in this particular community,
fully three-fourths of all the trade is
from farmers. Probably large pro-
portion of them are selling milk or
dairy products in some form. In the
past four years the sales of various
forms of butter substitutes has in
creased 300 per cent. That is, for
every pound they are selling in 1917
they are selling four pounds now, and
they are selling the greater part of it
to farmers.
Another community was visited
where one store was doing business
and receiving 95 per cent. of it's trade
from farm homes. The store sends
one team out into the country tax
ing orders for groceries each week.
On the route every family but four
buys more or less butter substitutes.
The average quantity sold is two
pounds per family per week. Some
of this goes to members of the N. E.
M. P. A.. Farmers! Who is causing
the surplus milk reduction in your
milk check?
