Monday, September 6 The Big Day at Island Pond Labor Day Celebration RACES SPORTS STREET PARADE Ball Barton Dance in i Games Band V Evening 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.
