TELLS WHY ACTION
SHOULD BE TAKEN
Vast Number of Spores Being Dis
charged and Continued Warm
Weather Will Aid Them-Specimen
Now on Exhibition
(By N. J. Giddings.)


There is every prospect for another
very serious outbreak of cedar, or ap.
pie rust again this year in many sec
tons of Berkeley county. The cedar
trees contain fully as great number
Of gals or apples as they had last
year, and it win soon be too late to
90 effective work in cutting out the
cedars.
The weather, which has prevailed
for the past few days, is ideal for the
spread of rust spores, and there were
vast numbers of spores discharged
Saturday and Sunday. Any apple
leaves. which are opened out enough
to catch the spores have already been
infected. but the spots will not be-
come visible for two TO three weeks
Fortunately the York Imperial buds
have not opened enough to receive
much infection yet, but a few warm
days viii bring them out very rapidly
and another rainy spell at that ,ime
will severely infect them
There have been many cedars cut
In the county but there are many more
to be destroyed and some of these
should have immediate attention. The
men who have only a few cedars
which are near an orchard should see
that they are gotten rid of at once.
There is part of a tree on exhibit
ton in the window of The World
Publishing Company. This specimen
was cut from a tree along the road
side near Inwood, and it shows how
numerous are the cedar apples on
trees in that section. There is also
specimen in the office of the Peo-
pies Trust Company which shows the
vast numbers Of spores when are
discharged at one time from, a cedar
apple.
The new crop pest law is now in
force and an inspector has already
been appointed for this county. 1t
is the aim of those in charge of this
work to use reason and discretion in
it's enforcement but not to permit it
to be disregarded. Some citizens of
the county are complying with the
law in the proper spirit, and it is
greatly to be hoped that all will do
so.

WATCHING PERSONS
 EXPOSED TO SMALLPOX.
New London Health Officer Taking All Precautions Against Disease Spread ing.

About o dozen morepersons have beeen taccinated in New London in connection with the discovery Satur- day of smallpox on the person of the negro woman, who formerly resided in city, Mrs. Bessie Jackson. All these had been exposed to the disease by coming in contact with the Jackson woman Friday and Saturday. It is likely that there will be several more vaccinations, although all of the worst exposures have been taken care of.
 The precautions of the health officer to prevent the spread of the disease are not confined wholly to yaccina- ton. Monday he caused to be disin- fected three more houses in which the Jackson woman is known to have been during her stay in New London, and the police station, where she was last Thursday as a witness in a police court case. The disinfecting is being done by inspectors of the health de- partment, and Dr. Ross E. Black is doing the vaccinating in connecticut with the case.
 Monday afternoon Health Officer Black had the inside of the pest house, in which Mrs. Jackson is iso- lated with her two children, covered with building paper to keep out the cold and make the place more com fortable and habitable.
 Under the direction of the health officer every person who has been in any way exposed EO the disease through Mrs. Jackson, is to be exam ined every day for symptoms of the disease, so that if any break out with the disease they may be given imme- diate attention.
 James Dixon, the negro stable hand who had been exposed by contact with Mrs. Jackson, and who it was suspect ed had taken a hurried departure from the city, is at his home. He has been vaccinated, but not quarantined, as there was nothing that would warrant that precaution in his case. He is, however, being kept under observa- ton as one of the worst exposures.
 There is said to be no cause for alarm in the presence of the disease in New London. The disease has been epidemic in the eastern part of the state for several weeks and it is con- sidered remarkable that New London has not experienced more of the smallpox than it has thus far.
 The other two cases of the disease are getting along nicely. Mrs. Abby A. Churchill who until Saturday was isolated in the pest house. but who is now in the new contagion ward of Memorial hospital, will probably be re- leased Thursday George Brown, who is quarantined at his home in Cape Ann court. will be under guard for a few days longer.

Train No. r. an accommodation from Willinlantic on the Central Yer mont railroad, was deraned just north of the bridge at Waterford Tuesday evening at 715 o'clock, but although two of the coaches plunged down the embankment into the Thames river, no one was seriously hurt.
 A broken rail is said to have caused the accident.
 The engine and tender passed over the rail in safety, but the next two coaches left the rails. One coach fell head first into the river. Fortunately there were only three passengers, two women and a man, in the car and these were rescued without difficulty,

110 MILLION GALLONS MORE
 TO FILL BOTH RESERVOIRS.
Water Situation Here is Unparalleled
 Reservoirs Filling Fast.

Upon a visit to the reservoirs on Tuesday afternoon Supt. John J. Cork cry found that each had gained five inches in the last A hours, FairvieW standing at 21 inches down from full pond and Stony brook at 2S inches down At these measurements he said that Fairview would have about 400 million gallons in it and Stony brook about 325 million gallons.
 To fill FairView 50 million more gal Ions will be needed, and to bring Stony brook to the brimfuI point will need 60 million more gallons. This should be accomplished some time during the winter, he said, and by the time the spring rains arrive it looks as if we would hardly have any place to put them, which will be an unparalleled condition in the water supply of Nor wich.
 We now have present supply O. about 725 million gallons in storage capacity of S3S million gallons. Mead ow Brook is now pouring a full pipe into Fairview, while the Stony Brook reservoir is receiving fine supply from two 16-inch pipes which are both discharging about half full from the rstream that flows into the basin back of the old grist mill dam.
 The watersheds have never been iu better condition as far as being cleaned up of all rubbish and loose brush and leaves, and both reservoirs are receiving supplies of exceptionally clear and bright water.
 The house for the Venturi meter ol the Stony Brook line has been com pleted and is awaiting the installation of the meter, which is here in the water department shop and will sooG. be put in.
 Superintendent Corkery has had the pump house at the Tradink Cove brook pumping station moved out to Stony Brook, where it has been used to con struct a fine and commodious tool house, which is nearly finished.
