Falls Below Average

Brattleboro. Vt, Dec. 29.-The
apple crop of Vermont is much
smaller than was estimated. accord
ing to reports thus far received and it
is now thought that the 1928 yield
will not exceed 10000 barrels. IT
was estimated at l2S.000. The Yield
is below the average, owing to dry
weather.
There is a marked tendency for
farmers to let the small orchards
die off. doing practically no plant
ing. The commercial orchards, how
ever. are thriving and there has been
much planting. This is true cspec-
tally of Windham county.
The tendency now is to plant Nc
Intosh Reds. Fameuse and Northern
Spies. Greetings are not planted for
the reason that they are not consid-
cred hardy enough and there is little
planting of BaldWns
The counties which are raising
most apples are Addison. Rutland,
Bennington, Windham and Grand
Isle. The largest crop of apples
picked this year was in the Everett
Orchards in Bennington. approx
matcly 5000 barrels. In Grand Isle,
one orchard produced 5000 barrels.

Shooting Beer Is
New Vets Device

Washington. Dec. 29-It official re-
ports are to be trusted, the prohibit
ton units drive on breweries IN the
Pittsburgh district has not only made
that section of the most desira bic
beer markets in the East, but has
given rise as we'll to a new bootleg
ginS pastime known as shooting the
beer"
"Bvewerics are putting out little
beer said a message today from
Acting Division Chief Pierce at
Pittsburgh. They are very closely
watched. WHAT little is coming i'll
seems to be coming from eastern
New Jersey. 1t is believed the reason
we have so much trouble with beer
shipments is due to the fact that we
have, by our seizures, put the price
of beer up to oversee, which makes
this about the most desirable beer
market in the eastern portion of the
United States.
1T has also resulted in the manu-
facture of what we term shot beer
made by taking barrels of near beer
and. with a force pump. putting into
the barrels two or three gallons of
alcohol. giving the beer an unpleas-
ant taste. We have seized several of
the outfits for shooting beer"
