Ebert :. Brigham, commissioner of
agriculture, who was one of the COVER
nor's party yesterday during the days
program which was the opening event
of the Eastern States Exposition, stated
that the Vermont exhibit Is the best
exhibit that Vermont has shown since
1919, and having attended each one since
the state began to exhibit, MIR. Brigham
is in a position to give a good opinion
on the exhibit The maple sugar tea-
lures are about the same as they were
a year ago with the addition of a
cleverly arranged flow Of sap from two
trees which set each side of the booth
occupied by the Grimm evapOrator COM
paHy, in charge of r. c. Holman of Rut-
land. Probably one of the most inter
esting things in connection with these
was the action of Lieut.. Gov. Wood of
New York, who stuck his finger under
the flowing sap to ascertain II It was
sweet. Mr.. Holman also has a full dis
play of the Grimm equipment.
Julian Dimock displays another Me
IntOsh appre tree upon which the APP
pies were still hanging just as he did
last year, with Misses Clark and Smith
in charge of the exhibit.
From a Nermonter's point OF view.
Governors dav was Successful, partIcll-
larIy so in that Governor Hardness made
an excellent address, to which governors
who followed him referred in their COM
HARNESS. referred to Ncrmont's pride
in the exposition, and then said it is not
an exhibit of a single city but shows
that isolation is not occurring in the
modern world. Rather the trend of the
times IS cooperation and this Is what
is making the exposition successful. He
then referred to problems of the present
day and said that something is develop
ing that in time to come will eliminate
the striking that has been taking place.
The law of supply and demand has
been passed and blocs must 90. Capital
and labor must get together. Those who
have supported blocs must give way and
everything in this country must work
for the interest of the country II the
nation is to retain its standing in the
world.
