HUNDREDS OF NEW TREES PLANTED
 IN SEASIDE PARK
Park Commissioners Following Recommendations of Head
 of Yale Forestry School

Seaside park is receiving the atten- tion of forestry experts. Many trees have been cut down in accordance with recommendation made by Prof.
 J. W. Tourney, head of the Yale For estry school who investigated the
 parks of the city last spring and an- nouuced it necessary to cut down many of the trees because they are dying off. The park commissioners have had over zoo young trees planted in the park to replace many Of those that have been destroyed. Included in them are quite number of young spruce and pine trees.
 The percentage of poor stock in the park was amazing even to the Park Commissioners who realized that con- ditions were not just right c. F. Her thai, the Broad street florist who is a forestry expert, is handling the work. On the boulevard between the Barnum monument and the bathing house have been planted 150 poplars, on each side of the driveway. The poplar is not harmed by the salty sprays from the sound PoplarS also have been planted from the Howe monument to the Bar mum nlOnumentlt " Over 100 naples have been planted on the speedway. or the continuation of Waldemere avenue between Iranfs- tan avenue and the BarnuTn dyke Over 100 sycamore naples and Norway ma pies have been planted on both sides of the speedway.

 The governor read the contract carefully as he does every document that is placed before him for his sig nature. He picked out a number of words spelled in the sirnp1ified way.
 That is the simpHfied method of spelling that has been adopted by our department said the clerk, ''but thus far 1t has extended only to a few of the long worlds
 Well. said the governor. with a smile, q don't approve of simpIified spelling at all It savers too much of the bull moose''
 Then the governor signed the con- tract and the clerk went off wonder ing whether his chief would take the governors tip and return to the old fashioned way of spelling.

LARGE GAINS FOR ANTI-SUFFRAGE
 CAMPAlGNERS

Hartford, Nov. 13.-The annual meeting of the Connecticut Assocla- ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage held it's, annual meeting Monday, and elect ed the following officers: President, Mrs. Daniel A.

Hopkins of New Haven.
 The meeting was held at the home of Mrs Charles H. Talcott, and the reports of the various committees showed that the organization, which started in December, 1911, has been rapidly growing, and the rapid enrol ment of women in Connecticut in the anti-suffrage cause shows that the women about the state are not as fa- vorable to suffrage as some suffrage campaigners say.
 The most interesting report was that of Mrs. Jacob H. Greene, chair man of the state work committee. With Mrs. Markr am, sb has been or-

Old Fight Renewed in Demand to be Recognized as Indepen- dent Organization
Convention Favors Mem0riaIiz-

 Outrage Upon Union Organizer

Convention, Hall. Rochester, N. Y., Nov 13-Directly charging bad faith to the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor officials of the International Association of Steam and Hot Water Filters and Helpers demanded, today, that the fed eration recognize it's existence as an Independent organization.
 The executive committee has return ed the per capita tax of the organiza- ton and gone on record that it had ama1gamated with the United Plumb CTS, Gas Filters and Steam Filters un- ion. eThe credentials committee of the convention now in session refused ! to pass on the dispute and made no rec ommendat thus placing the respon- sibiIity of either upho1ding the execu- tive committee or reversing it directly to the hands of the convention
 The representative of the steam fit ters who desire independence from the plumbers argued at length on the mer- it's of their claim. They cited prece-- New Orleans and Toronto-where it was held two trades were separate and distinct and insisted that the attempt of the executive committee to com bine them into one sama1 a1garnated organiza- ton would cause trouble.

 This. is foEmer Congressman William Hughes, of Paterson, N. J., who will be elected successor to United States Senator Briggs by the New Jersey leg. islature in January It was planned to invite Hughes to come to Roches- ter before the convention adjourned if. possible.
 It is expected that the convention will take some action on the treat ment accorded organizers who have tried to unionize the carpet industry at ThompsonviT1e, Conn Organizers who have been assaulted. shot and stabbed will make personal reports and members of the, convention said, to- day. that they favored menroria1izing Governor Baldwin, asking that 1egis- Iation be passed to force the legal au- thorities to protect all organizers.
 It is expected that resolution will be introduced placing the federation on record as favorings the naming of commissioners of labor in the various states on the recommendations of the various state federations of labor. This will be done chiefly to meet the situa- ton which has developed in this state where up to date all avowed candi- dates for the cornmissionershfp are. politicians and only two of whom are in any way affiliated with organizeda labor. <.t+sg.fa gs

CORN CULTURE IMPROVES.
Plenty of Room Left for Betterment
OF Farming Methods.

only in one way was the National
Bank Circular for August right in de-
ducing from this years yield of corn
per acre in the United States the con-
clusion that the last 80 years have
brought no Improvement in the culti-
vation of that crop says The New
York Times. Taking the whole crop
together the deduction seems and is
true, but 1t ignores the important fact
that even in the broad view the acre
yield has been maintained for this
long period, and such would not have
been the case had there not been
general adoption OF methods better
than the old one
The method consisted merely in
utilizing the natural fertility of new
land and moving on to other new land
when that was exhausted. We have
done better than that, and some of
us much better Corn is one Of the
cereals that has been the subject of
intelligent and careful study in recent
years, and whoever will can now buy
pedigree seed that is sure to yield
larger returns than that secured in
the former fashion, which was by
picking out the biggest and best form
ed ears.
Such specimen ears, it is knwon,
are often produced by. strains that do
not raise large crops per acre, the ears
being as few as fine. The pedigree
seed is selected on wholly different
principle, and is the result OF just such
an effort TO secure certain congeries
Of desirable qualities as is made by
the breeders Of horses, COWS, sheep.
pigs, hens and dogs
This much, at least has been gained
in the 80 years and the number of
farmers availing themselves of the
advantage is steadily though slowly,
increasing. The old fellows don't
learn because they can't. but the
young ones can and do. Corn, which
is a wide cross fertilizer, is not bred
to strain as easily as are the small
er grains like wheat and oats, and that
perhaps accounts for the comparative
slowness Of its Improvement.
