 The agricultural department has just issued bulletin showing the value of the crops in the United States during 1909, up to December 1. For Connecticut, the report shows that the hay crop is the most valuable one, be- ing estimated at $1O,sS5,000.
 In ordinary years, considerable ex- pense is saved by snowfalIs, as when the snow once gets on the ground enough usually remains to prevent the roads wearing. This winter there has been no snow to stay so far and in consequence the wear and tear of trav- el comes on the road direct.
 Mentioned among those attending the funeral of Rev. M. F. Rigner at Seymour were Rev. Fathers William A. Keefe of Norwich, Arthur O'Keefe of Taftville, Ignatius Kost of South Coventry, Thomas H. Cooney of Gros- venordale, P. J. OReilly of Montville, and C.. A. Leddy of Mystic.
