From th New England
Milk Producers Association
Vermont dairy farmers have
more help from members of
their families than farmers in
any other northern New Eng
land state, according to the da
ta recently secured by the de
partment of statistics of the
New England Milk Producers
Association. The figures show
that the wives, daughters.sons
and other members of the fam
ilies, working without pay, do
24 per cent of all "the dairy
work on the average farm.
With this efficient help the Ver
mont farmers get along with
only 27 per cent of hired labor.
These figures are in striking
contrast to Massachusetts
where the dairy farmers have
only seven per cent of help
from members of their families
and are obliged to hire more
help and put in much more
time , themselves. New Ham
pshire" families do 17 per cent
of the work and .Maine 16 per
cent. But the Maine farmer
does much more of his own da
iry work and has only 7 per
cent of hired help.
One reason why Vermont
families make such a good
showing is the large percent
age of work done by boys un
der 18 years old. The records
show that more than 13 per
cent of all the dairy work is
done by these boys, while in
Massachusetts they do only 4
per cent, in Maine 5 per cent
and in New Hampshire 8 per
cent. Vermont daughters, on
the ether hand, are next to low
! .,.; in the list, with less than 1
per cent of work to their credit
i Connecticut girls do more than
seven times as much work on
dairy farms according to the.se
statistics. Vermont women do
more dairy work than th worn
en of any other state but Conn
ecticut and they do eight times
as much as Massachusetts worn
en. !
These figures were secured
by the New England Milk Pro
ducers Association in its effort
to determine the actual cost
of producing milk on the aver
age New England farm. The
percentage of home" labor runs
high. It is not "paid for direct
ly but it must be taken into ac
count in determining costs.'ihe
.relatively large percentage of
work which is done without
cost by members of the aver-
ilage Vermont dairyman's fami
ly may be one reason for the
common beiief that milk can be
produced in Vermont much
cheaper than in other states of
New England.

Last Friday being an ideal
summer day, eleven ladies of
Christ Church . Guild, be
took themselves around Birch
Point, each with a well filled
lunch box, and such a picnic as
they had cannot easily be des
cribed. The principal busi
ness of the day, centered at the
Rectory. The outside having
been newly shingled and other
wise improved.the interior had
to be prepared for the polish
ing and decorating. So each
"Fairy'' with her magic wan.
circulated thru the rooms fro: f
basement to garret, and by
their good works we all know;
they belong to the "Good Fair
ies."
