Ridgefield Press: Most editors are &C., quainted with the man who takes more papers than he can read, and consequent ly has no use for his home paper. But let his neighbors pay him surprise visit on the occasion of birthday or wedding anniversary, or let his fellow church mem- bers make him present, then he wants mention of it in local paper, although he is taking so many papers that he can- not help his local paper by subscribing for it or patronizing it in any way.

The word popular" is abused and over worked. If you pick up local paper you will find that all the merchants in the town are popular, as we'll as all the law yers and citizens generally. Strangers who come on business are popular folks who die are popular, and so are those who marry. Miss Sadie Rouch," says an Ohio paper, "was married on Tuesday to an extremely popular young man whose name could not be ascertained." It is a glorious country, isn't it, where man may be unknown and popular at the same time.

(Hartford Times.) STORRS AND VALE.

The farmers of Connecticut are inter- ested in the bill to make the Storrs Agri- cultural School an agricultural college, and about all of them favor it. It is de- signed to convert the school into an agri- cultural college within the meaning of that term, in order that the agricultural college fund annually received from the United States government may be given to that establishment. The money (some $15, 1000 yearly now) is given to the states for the benefit of agricultural colleges; but the fund has gone, for the thirty years since its beginning, to the Sheffield Scien- tific School at Yale college. The Yale school is in no sense an agricultural col lege. It graduates no agriculturists, as the Storrs school does. The latter is felt by the farmers to be their school; and they favor it's enlargement into an agri- cultural college, by broadening it's scope and system, in order that the government fund may go to it. It needs the money; the Sheffield school does not need it. The original grant was for the aid and benefit of agriculture not for the cause of a technological education. The Storrs school seeks to qualify young men to become successful farmers, by giving them the chemical and other knowledge necessary forsthe best treatment of worn or poor soils, and the proper knowledge for all other things in or on the farm. Thus equipped, a graduate of Storrs can make "the old farm" much more remun- erative. It is needed knowledge. The farmers did not, at first, favor 'school learning" for making good practical farm CTS; but they have found out that there is a real, practical value in the system carried on at Storrs, and they favor that school now more generally than they did.
 Under the wider system proposed by this bill the usefulness of the school will be increased.
 The only argument made by the Yale school is the claim that the state has made with that establishment perpetual contract, which, like the old Hartford bridge charter, could not and cannot be interfered with hereafter by the state it. self. The claim cannot be maintained.

The cost of getting rid of single new insect pest in comparatively limited area is wildly presented in the report of the Massachusetts state board of agricul- ture on the work of extermination of the gypsy moth. Thirty towns in the state in the vicinity of Boston cover the infect ed district, and in 26 of these work cost ing the state about $75, ,OO0 has been done during the year. This, however, includes examinations in many other towns where the moth was reported. Two years or rnoro-h ys,sssy.s .-4 ti>ae work, and the pests have apparently been greatly reduced in numbers. We do not know the cost to date, but the outlay during 1891 could have hardly been much less than last year, and an appropriation of $150, ,000 is the smallest amount deem- ed necessary for the effective prosecution of the work during 1893.. At the best, therefore, it must cost Massachusetts, over $500, ,000 to rid herself of this single destructive insect, but it is the judgment of the commission that the end fully justi- f1es the outlay. There is great deal of exceedingly interesting matter in this pamphlet, which includes colored plates of the moth in it's different stages of de- velopment. as we'll as illustrations of its work. and map of the infected region.

It was written by Dan iel Lord to Thomas Turner, another we'll known citizen who lived here all his life with the exception of about six years. He was at that time living in New Canaan. The letter is dated Willimantic, Oct. 16, 1857, and says:

AGRICULTURE IN EUROPE.

IN Franco asparagus must have two
qualities and flavor. The soil
must possess a double property; it
must be light and rich. The richness
can be obtained by manures, but the
light quality is a purely geographical
question.
The violet crops in the south Of
France gave only moderate yield this
season, not quite sufficient to supply
the local manufacturers. For several
years the violet plants have suffered
from blight that has injured the
Towering.
EFFORTS are being made to have a
sanitarium established, as q landing
place for foreign animals subject to
slaughter, near Newcastle, England,
in order that cattle and sheep from
Canada and America may be imported
there direct.
ROSE plantations, started two years
ago in the neighborhood of Leipsic,
Germany, gave such brilliant results
that they are being extended. They
kept well during the last long and Sc
we're winter, and their condition this
season has left nothing TO be desired.
