Bob Aspinalrs Birthday

Last Monday was Bobert AS
pinall's birthday, but the pain in his
big toe was so great that he couldn't
for the life of him remember whether
he was ten or 100 years old. The
day was celebrated just the same. A
few friends were invited in and
games were played until late hour.
One of them was "ring toss" and
Maynard Bush won the prize, a
pretty volume of "Evangeline," Mrs.
Jim Ewart getting the BOBBY prize,
a chamois skin purse. There were
many more games and then they
pulled taffy, ate nuts and apples and
trod on Bob's sore toe, and had a
good time Those present were d.
Ewart and family, Mr.. and Mrs. Jim
Ewart, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry McNiel,
Mr.. and Mrs. Maynard Bush and
Rev. DR.. Drake.

This was never clearly proven and
the legal points were the jurisdiction

Bright sunshine has been the prevail

week past. The precipitation was light

average number of clear days was 4,
partly cloudy. 2 and cloudy. l.
The week began with day tthe 9th)
slightly cooler than the normal, as was
also the 10th. The temperature ranged
above the average generally for the rest
of the week. The minimum fell to near

degrees during the clear days, with gen.
eral benefit to vegetation. The weekly
mean temperature for the district at
large was 81, 2 degrees above the
mean for the previous week.
Although the rainfall for a month has
been deficient, the week past has not
relieved the want. A shower on the 11th
gave from so to .15 OF an inch of rain
In Connecticut and Rhode Island. over
the remainder of New England the
amounts measured were considerably
less. on the 18th there were light
showers; al a rule less than 10 of an inch

The continued clear, almost rainless
weather for a month in the greater por-
tion of New England although il was
most favorable to the starting OF vege-
table growth. has become injurious dur
Ing the week past by retarding growth
because OF want OF moisture In Con-
neticut and Rhode Island the shower OF
the 18th has been very beneficial.
Grass generally suffers most. Oats
are up in the south. and are being sown
most in the northern sections. A large
acreage Of potatoes has been planted i'm
the south and are being put in In the
north. The soil is rather dry for the
termination OF planted corn. Stock has
been turned out to pasture. but finds the
feed rather short.
Fruit is blooming: apples moderately:
pears, plums. apricots and other fruits
quite well. Strawberries are doing very
well in the three southern states. The
cranberry bogs are being drained.
There is a general complaint in Mas
sachusetts OF winter killing of berries.
Trees in the south have almost full
foliage. In central Massachusetts the

OF the ground in most OF the section is
hard. and the roads dusty.
The growth of oats has been checked
by lack of rain. but not seriously Rye
Is heading along the southern coast. and
looks well elsewhere. Corn Is coming
up in Massachusetts,, but here. as in the
more southern states. rain is much
needed. In the three northern states
this crop is being planted.
Drought is beginning to affect grass IN
northern sections. In Massachusetts
the hay crop promises at this time TO
be short.
