"But,-was he 2"

Two farmers out in Dakota have been trying a little good natured con- test to see whether farming below the chin" pays better in dollars and cents than farming above the ears'' They each have a hundred and sixty acre farm. Both farms lie side bv side, with practically identical condi- tions of soil, climate etc The stand ard, othodoX, routine farming of that locality has long been wheat farming Wheat, wheat, Wheat;-year after year Farmer stuck to it that this was also, the correct way to farm out there Farmer B had been working his brains little, and began to think that a more intelligent treatment of the dirt might pay. So they thried it out. A put 150 acres into wheat: B put fifty acres in to wheat, fifty into corn and fifty into clover Now for the results, in money of the second years. crops:
 A got 5000 bushels of wheat which he sold at 75 cents Total income of his 150 acres. $2,250.
 E got about d thousand bushels of wheat, worth $750: 2,500 bushels of corn, worth $1,000 and 125 tons of clover hay, worth $1,250, or a total in come of S3. 000
 That is. B got $75O bigger gross in come than A because he used his brain to select and follow a more in- telligent system of cropping
 But even that doesn't tell the whole story.
 It cost A for labor. seed. etc, $1,3S7 to raise his crop of wheat: it cost B $l,282 to raise his crops of wheat. clover and corn. That is he not only got $150 more in gross income. but he saved s105 in outgo, making his net $S55 over A.
 Nor does that tell the whole story, either.
 As whole 150 acres are going into wheat again, with nothing but the stubble to blow under to help the com ing crop. B has fifty acres of clover sod to turn under which will return to the soil an average of 120 pounds of nitrogen to the acre:-siX thousand pounds in all of the Costliest fertilizer we are ever asked to buy And you may be sure that the next corn crop will at least say Thank you" for that much help.

He was also taller than any of us Sometimes near CT, sometimes farther. we could all see that red head swinging and jumping Tn front of us. It made me think of the piece" 1 had spoken in school:

There may not be anything new or very interesting to us Eastern farmers about this Western story. We've praCticed rotation for a long time. We've had to, or starve. But a whole lot of us stick right there. We seem to assume that rotation is the last word in farm management that there Is nothing further for us to find out and that, when rotations fail, we must sit down under our losses and bear them as best we may.
 In other words, we've gone back to farming below our chins again.

 It is very evident that the board of trustees of the Connecticut College for Women will see to it that when the building of the colony is completed there will be no nearby objectionable neigh bors as the grounds already se- cured seems ample for many more buildings than will ever be erected and with brOadacres on every side. It IS planned to have the buildings and sur
 roundings just a little better than the best institution of the kind of today and it IS proposed to have the actual college work in full keeping with the sur roundfngs Realizing thac it was de- sirable to have the adjoining Williams farm added to the holdings of the col Iege, Frank l.. Palmer loaned S50,000 for the purchase of a part and then he purchased and presented to the cOrpor- alton the eighty additional acres. The Palmer Brothers since coming from MontvilIe and Norwich have done much for the advancement of New London. They are among the lead ing and progressive citizens, noted for their Iiberality, as well for their con- sideration of the whole people without regard to financial standing. The poor are just as welcome to enjoy the beauty of the Palmer estate in the Pe- quot colony as are the rich, and dur ing the magnificent floral exhibits there is true democratic cOmmingling.
 It will be n.ticed by the few whO/are forever advocating a paid fire depart ment for New London, that the reg ular sum If S14,000 was appropriated for the maintenance of the fire depart ment for the ensuing year. It cannot be beaten for economy anywhere. The efficiency of the service is unQueStiOn- ed and the appropriation is for the maintenance of eight. volunteer fire companies four of which are equipped with motor driven fire apparatus.
 At the annual city meeting appro- pristions were made IS recomne ended by the court of common council and aggregated S/26,S56,03 and to raise that sum a tax of II IS mills was levied. In addition to this is the countythe state and special taxes levied at other meetings during the year that brings the total tax rate up to r 1-2 mills. The principal items in the budget, that is those that amount to BIO. and over are: Aims house and outside poor $15,000: gen eral salaries SIP 800: maintenance of fire department, $14,000 interest on city debt, $605 800; general expenses schools $50, ,000: Manual Training and Industrial school $10,000 police sal aries SPA 900, street lights, S26 900; sinking fund, $10,000; maintenance and oiling streets. $40 000: cleaning state tax. $24706.02: county tax, $12- 3S3.01 There were just forty seven items in the budget. varying from $50. 900 for maintenance of schools to S32 for ringing the church bells on July Fourth and everyone of them was adopted without question The action was so unanimous and the city so harmonious, that Mayor Ma han coult not resist expressing grai- tude to his fellow citizens for such solid endorsement of the good judg ment of the finance committee and the members of the whole court of common council

Dr. Black is one of the rare city officials who performs his duty as it looks to him and without fear or fav
 or, and without consideration as to his future appointment to the office he so ably fills. As pr. Black is hu- man it is but natural that he should err just a little occasionally. He perhaps did make a mistake when he assumed the authority to enter the Nameaug Engine house and attempt to throw the toilet open to the use of laborers employed by the contractor of the municipal building. His action created quite stir and there were threats of prosecution of the doctor and by the doctor in connection with the case. Just about that time the doctor was busy tracing the cause of quite a number of typhoid cases in the city and he kept persistently at it un
 til he found the cause of the disease a nd checked that cause in short or der. His good work in that line seem ed to overcome all feeling against him

Now, in these days of reapers and self binders, I don't want to revert to the services of any red headed Eph- raim with clumsy cradle leading string of struggling sickles across a broiling oat-field. I shouldn't call Ephralm the best farmer in the valley again, just because he could cradle more acres in a day than his mates The farmer who can produce more profitable results at a lesser cost in money, time and labor, is a better farmer than any Ephraim.

We haven't the virgin soils, spread level over wide stretching plains, on which the west erner can work We haven't his natural advantages for crop-produc- ton.

Dr. j. Torrinaton Black, the effici- ent health officer of New London, caused the only discussion at the an nual city meeting when appropria- tions were made for the conduct of the various city departments for the ensuing year The doctor was not op- posed to any of the appropriations but he was insistent that a part of the big appropriation for schools would be devoted to the purchase of new text books to replace some that had been in use for seven years and had become prejudicial to the public health. Dr. Black said it was not right to have the work done for the health of the school children upset by the unsanit3ry text books. He sub mitted specimens of books in use in the schools that lie had taken from his own children. He said he was not only advocating proper text books for the school children in his capacity as health officer but as q private citizen and tax payer and the parent of school children. He declared it was the duty Of the citizens to protect the healtE of the children and he earnestly ar gued for the new text books to re- place those that had become unsani- tary by reason of their long use. After being assured that the matter would be attended to by the board of school visitors, he withdrew a motion instructing the board to use a spec flied sum of he appropriation for that purpose.

A veteran liquor dealer of New Lon don, one who has doHe considerable business with the county commissions CTS for many years, said: T tell you that 1 am sorry that Mr. Moves is no longer a member of the board of county commissions; not that l want ed any favors, but because he is the squarest comm ssioner the county has had for many years. in fact 1 cannot recall his equal in honesty and fair dealing. MT. Moves would give all sides a fair and impartial hearing and always gave just decision and without expectation of favor or fear of any man. and that's more than can truth fully be said of some commissioners Mir. Moves knew all there was to know of the duties of commissioners and conducted the business according to law, and therefore to the satisfaction his superior intelligence, was the guid- commissioners and the real business head. Of course 1 know him best in connection with issuance of liquer li- censes, but it's safe bet that he is as equally efficient in the administration of the county home, the jails and all other county business. His retire ment is a boss to the people of the county and, take it from me, not ev- cry man that has been named county commissioner can fill the place as efficiently as MT. Moves has. It would be impossible for any man to retire from public office with a clean CT and more acceptable record

There Is general regret in New Lon don upon the retirement of Charles D. Moves from the board of county com missioners which was made possible by the reasonable party action of few republican members of the last legfs lature to complete a combine made with a democratic member who sue eeeds MT. Moves as county commits sioner. MT. Moves has served the county faithfully for the past twelve years, the greater part of that time be- ing practically, the brains of the board as one who has had much bus mess with the county commissioner puts it. If the matter of election of county commissioners was put up to the people MT. Moves would have been his own successor by a large majority as party lines would be obliterated with Mir. Moves as a candidate. No body of men in the county have bet ter conception of the work of the county commissioners than have the liquor dealers and they are almost to a man outspoken in their enthusiastic praise of the fairness and ability of MT Moves and regret his retirement, for with him on the board those who had business herewith were sure of square deal and everything was on the level with MT. Moves.
