due to the fact that the vineyards

idea that manure once put on the

take. The air receives some of the
most valuable portions of all fertiliz-
ers so applied. Fertilizers must be
gotten into the moist soil to become

from their business, to take part. This
part Of the city was pretty we'll de-
populated in the morning by people
who wished to witness the parade and
cars went to the center of the city with
big loads all the morning. Cars from
Wallingford brought in their quota of
people from that town and Meriden.
For a time, the Fair Haven cars could
go no further than State street, While
the procession was passing through the
center of the city. The railroad had
the greater part of its cars from the
Fair Haven barns in service.
