FAVOR A CHANGE IN
GENERAL LICENSE LAW.
Several Appeared Before General Com
nnittse on Excise Regarding Striking
Out Five Siener Petition.
Especial to The Bulletin.J


Hartford, March 1s.-Deputy Judge
John II. Barnes. George W. Rouse and
County Commissioner c. d. Noyes of
Norwich were among those who APP
pearsd before the joint committee on
excise this afternoon in favor of the
change Of fhe general license law pass
ed on the last day of the last session,
known as the five signer law" by
striking out that section of the law
which requires that every license APP
plication shall be signed by five men
who sign no other application and who
shall be property owners and taxpay-
crs There are three bills affecting this
point, the principal one of which was
inaroduced by Representative Loos Of
New Haven.
N. r. Kendall, the head Of the brew
ers' state organization and their chief
lobbyist before the legislature, is back
Of the measure. The claim Is that the
present law causes the brewers and the
saloon men a great deal of needless
trouble. that there is considerable graft
connected with getting signers who
have signed no other application, to
say nothing of the difficulty of this,
The county commissioners now have
the absolute right to pass on licenses
according as their judgment dictates,
and who the signers are or what they
are plays very little part in their con-
sideratlon of the matter
On the other hand. the temperance
people are of the belief that in this
law they have great step toward the
better conditions that they seek to
bring about and are 10th to part with
anything they have gained.

is evident that the farm crops common

In order that a crop may be adapted
to dry land culture 1t must possess
certain characters. Some of these
which seem essential are strong early
growth. comparatively strong deep
roofing system and early maturity.
These characters are of value in as
sisting the crop to progress rapidly

cool so that maturity may be reached
before the hot days of the summer
