IN SPITE OF THE DRoUTH.
One Corn Field in the State Did
 Mighty Well.

While most of the corn fields in Ham, den, Woodbridge and other neighboring towns are blighted, it is not so every where. To show the failure of the crop, out in Woodbridge one small field of corn which, with sufficient rain, should have yielded 1,20O ears of corns yielded only two dozen ears. And so of most of the corn fields hereabcuts Out in Deep River, however ore corn field did well, as says the Deep River New Era
 During the past two years the New Era has printed many accounts of big corn fields, but they have always been located either in the outlying districts Of Deep River or Iu other towns.
 Now one has been discovered right in the center of the village and 1t is doubtful if anywhere in this section could it's equal be found. The field Is owned by Gilbert R. LaPlace on Kirt- land street and though only about an acre in extent the yield promises to equal that usually garnered from twice that amount of land. The corn is of the Dent variety and came from seed brought home by one of MT. LaPlace g relatives while on a western trip. The stalks, vigorous and stout. average seven feet in height and each stalk, al- most without exception has two ears which average IA inches in length. In spite of the extreme drought the corn has continued to thrive, though fre- quent and close cultivation has un- doubtedly helped it."

CONNECTICUT RAINFALL
 SHOWS SHORTAGE Up to September First the Precipitation Ten Inches
 Short.
FOUR YEARS RECORD.
Interesting Facts Together With Figures Covering
 Twenty-Five Years.
(Hartford Courant.)

The seriousness of the prevailing dry weather in Connecticut, and the large accumulated deficiency in the
 precipitation for this city during this summer, seem to command consider able attention With this In view a "Courant" representative made an
 examination of the weather records compiled by the weather bureau to- gether with the records made by oth- CT reliable observers in Hartford be- fore the weather station was estab- lished here, but in cooperation with the Ct partment and tse signal service
 The drouth had its beginning dur ing the early part of July and con tinued with increasing severity until the close of August, seriously affect ing all vegetation, so that yesterday found all crops in an Infavorable con- ditian. The ground ls eOl dry for
 blowing and fall seeding and pastures afford but little feel for live stock, yet the uper-abundance of dry weather
 was beneficial to the farmer in harv-
 citing grain and for cutting and cur ing tobacco. ....-.. .....
 The total rainfall for July was 1S6 inches or 225 inches below the normal for thirty-three years and the
 total for August was 1.0S inches or 353 inches below normal. During Au-
 gnust measurable amounts of rain oc- cured on only four days, although
 there were other days on which in- appreciable amounts occurred, and
 the total makes up the driest month
 in Hartford since February, 1901, and the driest August since 1899. During the month just closed the most con
 spicuous dry period was from the 7th to the 18th inclusive, during which in terval the total rainfall was merely
 a trace" that is, the amount was too small to measure, On the 17th there was a slight shower amounting to .0S of an inch, followed by anoth- CT dry week. On the 24th however there was a fall of .64 of an inch, and it proved of inestimable value to all crops not then matured and more
 especially to corn and tobacco. The temperatures for August were not out of the ordinary, excepting that the
 maximum, 94 degrees on the 18th, is the highest for the year, The mean 1 for the month was only slightly above the normal.
 August has not alone been dry
 month, for Local Foreeaster Neifert pointed out to the "Courant" man
 that with the single exception of
 June (with It's departure of 96 of an inch above the normaD each month
 this year shows deficiency and that
 It is a ord-breaking year for lack
 of precipitation, regardless of the cold
 and cloudy days of last spring and early summer when there was so ! much complaint from people who be- lieved there was such an abundance
 of moisture. The following table
 shows that the total precipitation
 from January 1 to August Sl il elusive
 was only 1867 inches.

was that of 1885, with a total rain fall of 9.59 inches.
 For the last four years the precipi- tation has been showing annual de- ticiencies, and, since January, 1904, there are only fifteen months that show on the credit side of the rain fall account. The total deficiency for 1904 was 2.25, inches; for 1905, S.1L 1907 (to date) 1O.S9 inches. There are numerous beliefs advanced as to the cause of this continued lack of precipitation. The weather bureau of ficials merely state that thus far sci ence has been unable to determine the true cause, save that the track of the storms crossing the country has been north of the normal path and that the storm areas have been compara- lively small, so that the precipitation zone has been well to the north of Connecticut Whatever the cause it is not difficult to see why failing streams, wells and springs have to be reckoned with.

Ont of BattIeship Names.

A peculiar if not very serious diff ficulty has arisen to confront our growing navy, It is the question of names for future battleships. The present law is that all battleships must be named after States, neither the commemoration of cities nor nav al heroes being permissible. All though the navy at present numbers but twenty-nine of these fighting mon sters, the supply of State names has been exhausted with the exception of Utah. The present difficulty arises from the fact that for years before the existing law was passed it was the custom of the navy department to give the names of States to warships of various classes. Soon the sole re- maining State name on the list Utah, will be given to the new 20,000-ton fighter, and then the government will have come to the end of its resouces so far as titles are concerned. go Post.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
"Another Taxpayer" Calls for the
 Nomination of Alexander Troup.

AIOlHer IaXpayeF OdIlS TOT the
 Nomination of Alexander Troup.
 New Haven, Conn, Sept. 2, 1907. To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 In your issue of Saturday morning I read very interesting letter by Tax Payer" on the necessary qualin- cations of the man the citizens of this city should elect to the mayors office at our next election to come off short ly.
 The disappointment in the above letter was Tax Payer" did not sug- gest some citizen known to him who had the necessary qualifications to fill the bill as mayor" of our city.
 Kindly let me finish his letter by suggesting the name of the Honor able Alexander Troup." It is not necessary for me to tell you, MT. Ed itor, that Mr. Troup has all the re- quirements contained in "Tax Payer's' letter, but has the additional qualif- cations of knowing the government from "A to "Z," and has the sand. He knows every weak spot in our gov ernment, there Is not useless piece of political graft in the city hall he could not lay his hand on at once, Do you doubt for moment that ev- erything wrong in our city govern ment that came under his notice would cease to exist on sight if he were mayor?
 MT, Troup is not candidate for this office or any other office. This is in his favor again. There is not a politician of the what is there in it' kind in the city who would not oppose him; another thing very much in his favor
 It seems to the writer that if the "citizens" got together in a public meeting and drafted such man and compelled him to stand for the office of mayor" itwould be much more sat- isfactory than allowing men to an nounce themselves as candidates whose ability to fill such an office is mainly conceit and ignorance
 There Is another kind of citizen who carries all the votes in his vest pocket for the candidate who will stand a good phcking. This system has so disgusted men of the necessary ability to fill the office that they will not allow their names to be used by either party as candidate The peo- pie can stop this by the above method when they get ready, and now is the time.

More Men in Sight.

Three things must be had if our army is not to lose 10000 men and our navy more than an equal number every year through assertions. Oppor- tunity to rise from the ranks is the first. A reasonably attractive garrison life is the second. Decent pay is the third.
 Secretary Metcalf has done much to supply the first need for the warships. Almost his first. act as head of the navy department was to give an appli- cant for a commission a second trial at the examination in navigation be- ca'lse the jackie had had no practical training in advance. When another failure resulted, an arrangement was ordered whereby the enlisted men could obtain instruction from an of ficer we shall see," argued the sec retary, whether the fault is in the man or in the system" They did see. The applicant passed handily
 To-day earnest men with heads on their shoulders, whose characters are worth regarding, have better chance to rise from the ranks than ever they have had since the first fight of iron clads. More progress can be made along this line in the army Both ser- vices should have as much of it as possible.
 The human appetite for play, the second need, is being better and bet- ter met. Athletic contests between squadrons or garrisons, boat races, contests in markmanship indoor en- tertainments in winter, libraries and improved service schools have rid the service of the old stigma that it necessarily degenerated the enlisted man. Here, also, more progress can be made, but it is a mistake to think the advance now registered is not considerable.
 
 Metcalf, Mr. Taft and MT. Cortelyou, the latter as the official best qualified to rearrange the pay tables, have con- ferred over and agreed upon a bill to raise the pay of the men of both branches of the. service. The assump- ton is fair that, they have done their work carefully and with an eye to the good of the country, but no less with a full appreciation of the problem as seen by practical soldiers, sailors, and accountants. The understand ing is that the President will examine l it before December next and that when it reaches congress it will have the support of the administration forces solidly. If that program shall be followed, the. difficulty of getting good men for our army and navy is largely solved. The remainder of the solution consists of. informing the men by modern means of the three things they will find there. Washing ton Times,
