BEAT OUT ARMY WORMS.
Farmers in Brooklyn Hustling to Ge.
 Crops Harvested in Safety.


 From various parts of the central portion of the town of Brooklyn re- ports came in Wednesday of the spread of the army worms. There are millions of them in that territory feeding on crops that are being ruined. Some whose fields have been at tackled are making fight against the pest but others are letting them have their own sweet way.
 At the jail farm a constant watch was being kept Wednesday for the appearance of the worm and preven- tive measures were taken to keep the worms out of the truck gardens and other fields where crops are growing. There are plenty of men at the jail to .squelch the worms at that place, if they make an appearance.
 Throughout towns in this part of the county farmers were hurrying their harvesting work Wednesday and many fields of oats are to be saved by cutting and housing before the worms get a chance at them Killing ly appeared to be safe from the worms up to Wednesday night At least no farmer out of many who were asked about the matter reported them in this town.
 Twenty years ago the army worms visited Killingly and wrought much destruction The experience that some farmers had with them at that time are still remembered, as well as the methods used to fight them and these measures will again be used if the worms appear here.

JAIL PRISONERS NUMBER 11s
New High Record Established Wed nesday-onIy se Cells in the Institu ton.

There were 11s prisoners at the Windhan County jail In Brooklyn on Wednesday, new high record for the institution. the nearest approach to it being in 1906. when the number passed a little over the hundred mark. As there are but s6 cells in the institution its capacity is being test ed close to the limit. Prisoners are not being doubled up," however. There is but one prisoner in any of the cells. The number in excess of 96 are being kept at night in a large, airy room, where cots have been placed. This group includes old-tim- ers regular visitors to the jail. men who have served term after term and are we'll known as to habits, temper ment and trustworthiness by the of ficia1s.
 The unprecedented advent of pris- oners is due in large measure, 1t Is claimed. to the fact that shops are closed in many of the large cities in New England and that rowing unem- pIoyed are using the summer season wandering about the country and get ting themselves into trouble by petty offences.
 Many of the men are being kept at work on the jail farm and on jobs that have come in number this sea- son for Jail help to do. This means 8 source of revenue and will aid in a measure in meeting the big ex- pense of keeping the prisoners. Most Of the men are in for short terms. 30 to 50 daysy but there are some at the jail who have longer terms to serve, some Of them more than @ year.
