Canaan not provided with any sort of sewage disposal and more serious aspect is that there is no possibility of this very necessary convenience being hereafter provided in these buildings without sewerage system.
 The Board of Trade is giving the mat ter serious consideration because they know it to be an imperative need. So far as they have felt the public pulse, they find that the majority of the Canaanites realize the gravity and danger of the present situation and are in favor of taking remedial measures at the earliest opportunity.
 It is something that should not be delayed, in fact it has been delayed too long already. The typhoid fever cases which have existed Ill the village in the recent past are regarded as very forcible demonstrations of the effect of upsani- tary buildings and surroundings. Sewer age will go long way toward correcting these undesirable conditions ana it would appear to be proposition that should meet with the favor of every Canaanite.
 The fire district needs sewerage and it must have it if the health of the people is to be preserved and if the village is to keep abreast of the times.

AN IMPERATIVE NEED.

In another column of to-day's paper appears call for a meeting of the Canaan Board of Trade tomorrow eve- ming to consider the question of sewerage.
 A recent issue of the NEWS contained an editorial pointing out the necessity for sewerage in every thickly populated community and to no place are the statements therein made more applicable than to Canaan. Sewerage is the greatest need of the village at the present time. The soil has become so thoroughly saturated with the overflow from scores of cesspools as to be menance to health and to permit continuance of this con- dition of affairs is to deliberately invite an epidemic of some dread disease. The situation is most serious one and the installation of system of sewage dis posal seems to be the only practical means of providing the necessary sani- tation. At the present time there are both business places and residences in

Crop Prospects.

Reports from the farming districts in Northwestern Connecticut and the extreme southern part of Berkshire County are as one, that the agriculturist will have the best season in many years The hay crop is of excellent quality and heavy, but the yield from lands well fertilized each year will be but trifie greater than in season when the crop is put down as an average one. Potatoes are doing well, no cases of blight or rot to speak of having been reported, and the crop should be large one, barring the appearance of an unforeseen destroyer. Garden truck is looking fine, and berries of all kinds are and will be unusually plentiful, especially the blackberry. In some sections there are hardly any apples on the trees, and the crop at best will be only one-half. Tobacco down through the Pennington Valley is expected to fetch its owners about s40, 900, if de- structive hailstorm does not upset their calculations. AS yet this season none has visited the tobacco growing belt. '- Springfield Republican.

Last weeks NEWS told of the Mary Watson Memorial, better known as the Vacation House, near Canaan, its pur- pose and what 1t is accomplishing. It is an institution fostered and main tained by the Episcopal church and that religious body deserves all the words of praise accorded 1t because of the work it is doing to assist the Connecticut branches of the Girls Friendly Society of the United States. Here is provided place where worthy, self-supporting girls of limited means may go and spend a vacation at cost which is not pro- hibitive. The Memorial has no endow- ment fund to rely upon and the volun- tary contributions are neither large nor regular If more people who are abun- dantly supplied with means would interest themselves in these institutions, they would place themselves in a way to receive the everlasting gratitude of these young women who are not largely endowed with this worlds goods and to whom even the brief, two weeks respite from the humdrum existence in the work-a-day worlds means much more than is supposed by those who travel the easier paths of life.

It is probably pleasing to the farmers to know that their wares will be much in demand when the manufacture of denaturized alcohol commences. It is said to have been proved for a certainty that it can be manufactured from the potato. Many farmers, however, will have but few of the tubers to sell to the alcohol mills unless the crops in future years are larger than they have been in the past. When some fellow invents & gimick that will grind potato bugs up into something with commercial value, then the farmer will don the smile that won't come of.
