ers would specialize on their corn and
breed I'D varieties especially adapted
to their own localities, the entire crop
of the state would be increased on an
average Of five to eight bushels per
acre" said Manley Champlin, assist
ant agronomist of the state college,
at the corn school here. There are
enough differences between counties
or even between sections in the same
county" he said, "to warrant SpeclallZ-
ing on corn in order to make 1t adapt
ed to peculiar local conditions. IN
such case it might be well to give the
corr the name of the county, or Sec
ton or some name to distinguish II
from other varieties and thus enable
other farmers to buy seed intellgent-
ly."
Andrew Palm, better farming agent
for Codington county, followed with
an address on Small Grains and Corn
in South Dakota" In substance hi
said: South Dakota has been and IL
a great wheat state, but she is tar
greater as a corn state. Corn grow
ing is important because a cultivated
crop like corn is of utmost Importance
in a successful system of rotation.
This will clean up the land and make
possible the production of better
crops of small grain"

Plans for the addition to the Elks' home on Main street have been pre- pared and bids have been received -up- on them which will be reported to an early meeting of Norwich lodge, No. 4S0, by the special committee in charge
 The new plans have been prepared after the lodge recinded a vote to &C., cept plans which contemplated a building to cost about 10000 and ap- pointed a special committee to proceed with securing a new set. This commit tee have been in consultation with ar chitects Cudworth & Woodworth with the result that new plans have been evolved and have already been put out for bids.
 They provide for the new addition to be erected on the rear of the present building, in size SS feet inches long and fl feet wide over ali. It would project like a wing on each side of the three of the present building and would be two stories high above the basement and have an entrance on Park street

R. C. PLAUT's OPTIMISM.
Strikes the Right Key in Opinion of
 Hartford Paper.

Business confidence is the caption Of an editorial in the Hartford Times which discusses present conditions and the future.
 Would that the optimism of a Norwich business man might prove contagious it says: R. c. Plaut, president of the Plaut-Cadden com pany of that city. reviewing war con ditions abroad and peace conditions here, and keeping in mind the proven theory that war or conflict destroys what has been produced. and pro- duces nothing useful" expresses the opinion that in the near future "un- certainty In this county will be changed to certainty money will be released and manufacturing will go he continues, every square foot of ground, every brain, every hand, every wheel, every ship and every railroad will ind that it has not only all it can do. but more than it can do. to take care of what is in reality right now knocking at our door"
 This view corresponds singularly well with that obtained by Henry J. Wylie secretary of the Hotchkiss Brothers company of Torrington, from Dun's Review. It is reported by the Torrington Register that in response to the request of MT. Wylie for an expert opinion upon the business out look, the Review wrote him under date of August IT, in part, as follows:
 The consensus of opinion is that the elimination of foreign competition will compel our mills and factories to sup ply the vast quantities of merchan- disc that ordinarily would come from abroad. A great increase in our trade with South America and other coun- tries is also anticipated, and the be- lief is growing that in the very near future our manufacturers will be taxed to meet the demand placed upon them. The settlement of the freight rate case, the organization of the federal reserve board, the prompt action of the secretary of the treasury in pro- viding the banks with emergency funds and the passing of the shipping bill by congress are all regarded as factors tending to restore confidence and the effect is already seen in re- newed mercantile activity in several directions. =" Taking the outlook altogether, there is every reason to look forward to exceptionally prosper ous conditions after a short period of preparation.
 Apparently there are business men among us who believe with President Wilson that the biggest thing Ameri- cans can do for their country is to keep out of the European muddle, and with cool calm judgment avoid talking war and politics and talk business keeping alert with a view to creating 1t as opportunity offers Hartford Times

The advertising man. ager and the billposters were to Will fmantic Thursday and from the Thread City they expect to work their way up through Mansfield and Storrs into the heart of Holland That is Stafford territory, but so is Washinton county, over the line in Rhode Island. Kings ton territory. The management of the Norwich fair has this year re- solved to bid for business between Providence and Hartford and Sec retary Charles D. Greenman gets a great many inquiries from the cities of the state as well as from the towns, big and little, in New London, Wind ham, Poland and Meddlesex. In the higher tier of Windham county towns yesterday the men on the advertising carN heard much talk of the fair at Norwich, and they believe the whole sale paperhanging stunt, though rather costly. is to prove a paying invest ment. Practically everybody that has been interviewed about the races is glad there vii be a s400 race every day. The 2.17 on Monday, the 2.20 on Tuesday and the free-for-all on Wed nesday will all carry that amount of money.

 We're going to have one. but the plans are all in enbryro as yet,'' said he. "Of course it will be bigger and better than the 1913, which was simply a feeler. We had over 150 kids last year. We ought to get 800 this year. With the help of my associates I will try to SCOUT the county systematically this time, for I have sneaking idea New London county babies are in a class with the handsomest babies in the world. I shall have a good deal of help in getting the baby show on a good basis this year, and I hope the people that see it will like it. I under stand the big show at Lake Com bounce last week was all right, and l will try to get some ideas from the women that put on the Compounce show
 The Central Labor Union of Nor wich will, as in past years, work with the New London County Agricultural September fair a big success. The Labor day crowd of 1913 was enor- nous. but the Labor day gate receipts this year, if all plans do not fall by the wayside. will be a great deal larg- CT. The members of the union will sell tickets and get a share of the re- ceipts.
 The management will put it's best foot forward the first day of the fair The fastest class, the 217, will be trotted then. It will be a s400 race The airship will make its first flight then.
 The night fair will open Labor day night. It will go the full three nights of the fair, and it is expected to see the lighted grounds filled from gate to back fence. The 1913 night fail made a hit, especially by virtue of the fireworks, and this year there will be more rockets and bigger set pieces than before.

which attracted the attention of his companions who tried to kill the snake but were unable to as it glided of in the nearby grass. The boy was so frightened by the snake that he fell out of the tree but did not in- jure himself. Picking himself up he ran all the way home and his mother put some linament on the wound that took down the swelling. The tree was deserted for the rest of the day by the youngsters who feared that the squirmer would likely be back again looking for another victim.
