VERMONT CREAMERY AND
MARKET NEWS LETTER

Approximately 10 percent Of the
milk produced in Vermont is manuacf-
tured into the various dairy products,
the balance or approximately 30 per
cent, is shipped as market milk for
fluid purposes. Under the existing
market demands for manufactured
dairy products, there is a very limited
demand or skimmilk products. This
shows, then, that at least so percent Of
the skimmilk from the milk which is
manufactured is without a market.
The returns to the farmer for the
skimmilk which is sold in the form Of
manufactured products is low compar-
ed with the returns when marketed
through calves.
Vermont is now recognized as the
leading state in this section Of the
country in the eradication Of bovine tu-
berculosis from its herds. With the
rapid progress which is being made in
Vermont this important work is at
tracing the buyers in other states
who are constantly purchasing cattle.

HERE'S A LEAK To BE STOPPED
Chance For the State of Vermont to
Save Money.

Save Money.
Did you know that right in the teeth
Of all the need for economy in the con,
duct Of State affairs, the State Of Yer
mont wasted half a million dollars last
year in its educational work =? Yes
wasted It, threw il away. good tax
money.
How was this done? By providing
school-instruction for Vermont chill.
dren whose parents did not take the
trouble to see that they went to school
This statement can be verified by
the simplest possible arithmetieal sum
by taking the cost to Vermont of a
years schooling for a child. and multi
plying it by the number Of children in
Vermont, who last year, simply did
not take what was provided for them
Here is a leak that ought TO be stop
ped. And the parents of school-chil-
dren are the only ones who can stop il
Did you ever think that every time
child is kept away from school with
out serious cause, good money is be-
ing wasted? +? II is your money, too
You have paid, you, every taxpayer
for running that school; the State has
put in more money out Of other
peoples tax-paying to pay for an ex-
pensive special instruction for the
teacher; the teacher has given years
Of her life TO get ready for teaching
that child who doesn't come to be
taught
An immense amount Of thought,
time, effort, and great deal Of money
have been spent to get that educa-
tional meal ready to be consumed, to
set the educational table for the little
guests who stay away.
Such wastefulness is not at all char
acteristic Of the sensible, thrifty,
thoughtful, level-headed way in which
we Vermonters manage our other af-
fairs. Probably it comes from the fact
that we simply have not realized how
foolish and shortsighted it is to per-
nit children to be irregular in their
attendance at school.
Who are the children who are most
irregular at school? They are usually
the ones from the poorer families, with
rneagre home life And those are
the very ones who most need regular
and thorough education. In a few
years they will be our citizens. On
them will depend the prosperity OF our
district, town and State. They will be
the neighbors our children will have
about them They need and should
have the best schooling we can procure
for them, and they should have it with
regularity, or it amounts to very little.
Every good citizen, man or woman,
should feel personal responsibility
on this point. The truant officer can
do little unless he is backed up and
pushed forward by strong public inter
est and public opinion of the right
sort. Every good Vermonter should
know what the rate Of attendance in
his district is, and should take steps to
improve it, IL it is poor.
