Assault ON Dairy Bill
| An unexpected assault on the stat,
dairy building measure tH-33Sl which
was so solidly backed by the farmer.
of the House last week, was opened by
Mr.. Hunter Of Proctor, who opposed
the bill on the present high cost Of
building. Mr. Weeden Of Rockingham
agreed with Mr.. Hunter
Mt Peet Of ST. George came TO the
support Of the bill. declaring that the
farmers want il and they should have
lii.
Mr.. Smith Of Wells offered an
amendment 10 spread the cost Of the
building over the biennial period, but
the amendment was lost.
Nr. Luce Of Pomfret answered Mr..
Hunter and, declared that enough
would be saved in the dairies Of the
State in two years to pay for the con
struction Of the building.
/ Mr.. Blood Of West Windsor didn't
/ look at il as a farmers bill entirely.
He thought that the saving to be made
from the manufacturer Of by-products
OF milk into cheese would cheaper
these products and thus help the CON
sumner. He declared that 5000 pounds
OF skim milk is wasted every day in
the State.
Mr.. Wishart Of Barre City, who vot-
ed for the third reading Of the bill
last week, opposed it today. He asked
why the State should subsidize the
dairy industry by training men at the
expense Of the State so that the large
creameries in other states can have
these experts that have been trained
here. He declared that other indus
tries in the State are not asking for
any such subsidy and he did not see
why the farmers should.
Mr. Capron of Leicester thought the
matter should be allowed to go over
for two years.
Mr.. Wales Of Weybridge said those
who wanted to learn to make cheese
could go into the cheese factories and
not ask the State to help them.
Mr.. Bailey Of Colchester entered a
rIoa fa, Tho ,yopna ,,,ap of Tho Ctato
and said that they should be given
the chance to grasp the opportunities
Offered by foreign markets and put
Vermont on the map as a cheese max
ing State. Mr. Bailey tried to get
through an amendment making one
half of the appropriation available in
1922 and one-half in 1923. Mr.. Dyer
said this would not help financial mat
ters any and the amendment was lost.
Mr.. Smith Of Barre town was sur
prised at the new stand taken by his
colleague from Barre city and called
his attention to the fact that corpora
tions often ask for exemption from
taxation, but farmers are not often
exempted.
Mr.. Wishart replied that he knew Of
no corporations in Barre city which
were asking for exemption, but he did
know Of several creameries which had
sought exemption.
Mr.. Hadley Of Craftsbury said that
the commissioner Of agriculture had
estimated that when this dairy college
got into operation, it would save the
dairymen of the State about two mil
lion dollars year. Mr.. Cushman Of
Rochester declared that out Of thel
thirty million dollar estimated values
Of dairying annually in the State, only
about three-tenths is shipped out Of
the State. We should have better
training for taking care Of that which
remains here.
Mr. O'Brien Of South Burlington,
called attention TO the fact that one
Of the largest condensed milk fac
tories in the State closed down during
the last year and farmers had had
trouble in finding a place TO market
their milk He thought this new dairy
college would help matters
Mr.. Mckinley Of Stowe also sup
ported the bill. He said: 81 can't con-
ceive that any farmer living in Yer
mont should oppose this bill"

demned and killed as tuberculer, which
