grading bill should commend itself tC
all who have the best interests of the
apple industry at heart. Vermont ap.
pies are second to none and established
growers can command a premium in
New York markets.
But a barrel of apples is no longer a
barrel of apples, The trade demands
to know something Of the size ant
color of the apples in that barrel and
must be assured that every barrel
stamped as of a special grade contains
apples Of that grade. In this respect
the West can give the East valuable
pointers. Go ahead and say that East
ern apples have better flavor and
that the Western variety has only color
and size. The fact remains that the
Western apples can pay a 75-cent
freight rate on every box and yet out
sell the Eastern apple in the big mar
kets.
Why? Grade and pack is the answer
The eastern jobber or commission man
can order a car of extra fancy Hood
River Spitzenburgs with perfect safety.
They are as standardized as Ford cars
in the markets The same thing applies
to extra fancy, fancy and &C" grade
apples from Washington, Idaho, Ore
gon and Montana. The buyer knows
what he is buving and that the fruit
he buys will be of uniform quality
throughout The old "face and fill"
method is as obsolete as the dodo with
the progressive Western grower.
These grades are defined by law by
the state commissioner of agriculture
and are subject to revision They are
not subject to the within of an appoin-
tive official. Befort the 1921 grade and
pack rules are adopted, the commits
sioner will call a conference of all the
fruit growers and it may last several
days.
The growers suggest the changes
with the sales agencies represented to
soft pedal" any too radical change
that may undermine the prestige of
the product in the Eastern market The
commissioner takes the recommended
tions of the conference and usually in
corporates them in establishing the
grades The grade and pack confer
ence is the most important meeting of
the year for the northwestern fruit
growers.
A standard container is only second
in importance. 1t matters little wheth-
er it be a box or barrett should
always be the same size The buyer
and the consuming public must know
exactly what to expect in quantity
when a box or barrel is purchased. Be-
cause the western grade and pack are
standardized much of the selling is
done by telegram. Standardization
means stability and satisfaction.

Discrimination

1t is being talked quite freely that
State Treasurer Scott is showing dis
elimination against Vermont state
banks and trust companies in placing
the deposits of the state. According
to his own statement there was little
over two millions of dollars on hand
January /. OF this amount SS00,00C
was in United States certificates, $780,
600 on deposit in Boston and New
York banks, 100000 in Vermont trust
companies, and S4lS,Q00 in Vermont ma
tional banks
1t is well known that the trust COM
panies pay the State tax on deposits
while the national banks do not. De
posts in trust companies are not sub
ject to individual tax while deposits
in national banks are supposed to be
put in the tax list.
OF the total amount on hand the
report of Treasurer Scott shows that
much more than one half is placed out
side of Vermont. Is this for the best
interest of the State?
Theme is a feeling that Vermont
money should be used for Vermont and
yet here is the State Treasurer plac-
ing a larger part of the States funds
on deposit outside the state. 1t seems
a better policy would be to distribute
the money among many banks in Yer
mont and let the people all over the
state get the benefit
AS the deposits are now placed a
few banks get the lions share and
the New York and Boston banks seem
to be favored at the expense Of Yer
mont Let there be more equal dis
tribution of the State money among
the banks of Vermont. Keep Vermont
money at home.

A TALE OF A CAT
Being the Second of a Series of Barn
yard Adventure

Emery E. Wisell, our well known
coal dealer, is exhibiting to his friends
Tom Cats valedictory in the form
of several deep gashes in his right
hand. story accompanies the proud
demonstration of the felines earnest
ness of course, the second OF a series
of tales of adventure with cross grain
ed species of the domestic animal. A
short time ago he had figured in a
bull-rescue story, in which Sir Hol-
stein had been dressed for sacrifice
but delayed the death blow for several
hours by jumping into the partly froz-
en- Greek. Mr. Wisell himself related
the following to a Register reporter.
For long time there has existed a
Tamany clique among the Cat Party
of Seymour street. Mr.. Tom Cat had
long ruled supreme until the advent of
equal suffrage. His power then seemed
doomed unless he could rally to his
standard the female of the species. His
younger and more comely rivals had
made serious trespass on his district.
To offset their inroads into his forces
he decided to gather his chieftains in
a last conference The most influential
of the ladies were also invited in an
effort to win their good graCes for their
club and sorority support.
The rendezvous of the Conference
was the Wisell barn. The proprietor
had noted the unusual number OF fe-
lines of every hue that had for an hour
passed his window and turned toward
the barn, yet prepared for his Sunday
afternoon nap without more thought
of it. But when the cats were called
to order they Immediately set up a
protest against Mr.. Tom Cat that in its
unanimity and forcefullness discomfort
ed Mr.. Wisell no less than Mr.. Cat.
The former threw off the bed clothes
in a rage at the interruption of his
dominica slumber and hurried to the
barn. The latter in the interim Shrek
ed in an effort to argue in vindication
of his feudal rights. The din surpass-
ed anything that had been heard in
the neighborhood for many moons. Mr..
WiselPs charge on the assembly hap
pened in the midst OF Toms appeal
There was an immediate pouring of
cats through every exit. Tom alone
maintained his position on the window
sill, from which he had many times
presided at gatherings of his species,
and challenged the intrusion.
"You radical", hurled Mr. Wisell at
him as he entered the barn, 81 will
teach you the results of disturbing an
honest mans sleep with your wind
jammi1ig" He aimed blow at Tom
with his fist. Tom escaped humiliation
by sidestepping and then clinched,
burying his fangs in the enemy's hand
Mr.. Wisell grabbed him by the throat
and the wrestling match was on. Mel
ther side thought of quarter. Tom sue
ceeded in again driving home his teeth
in his opponents other hand, and
pleasurably bathed his face in enemy
blood. When Mr.. Wisell improved his
deadlock and strangle hold the end was

College Entrance Exams

Principal Abbott of the Rutland high
school in his annual report says that
only grade A pupils in this school and
probably in most Vermont high schools
have much chance of passing the ex-
animation of the College Entrance
Board The show for the average pu-
pill is not bright Certain colleges
want only grade A pupils in their
freshman classes, That being the case,
pupils below grade A in high schools
might as we'll trim their ambition and
go to colleges not requiring board ex-
aminations, and at the same time save
their pocketbooks They will be just
as well prepared to meet the battles of
life and perhaps better.
