NO CLUES TO
 MISSING MISS ATCHISON. Brother Does Not Believe She is in the
 River

Although nearly two weeks have passed since Miss Flora E. Atchison disappeared from her home in Baltic, nothing has been heard from her, and the searchers who have been on the lookout for some clue as to her where abouts are practically at sea-
 If perchance she ended her troubles by resorting to the waters of the She tucket river, the body should have fioated by this time As nothing has been seen of the body, Dr. E. C. Atchi- son of this city, brother of Miss Atchi- son, does not think she is in the river.
 If she is in the woods in the neigh borhood of her home it seems probable to him that the numerous searchers who secured every part of that locality would have found her. It is possible that she made her way to Montville and that the woman seen there soon after her disappearance who answered the description might have been she. But this clue has been apparently lost, as nothing more has been seen of that person,

CONNECTICUT FARMS.
Board of Agriculture Issues Pamphlet
 With List of Those for Sale.

The state board of agriculture has just issued pamphlet of ITO pages in which is given a list of the farms for sale in the various counties, whose owners responded to the invitation of the board to have their places listed in the book. It is an attractive looking booklet, with numerous cuts, and gives very complete details of all the farms listed.
 In New London county there are IT, in Windham county 21. and in Holland county 24
 In a paragraph contributed by the Connecticut Pomologica1 society, un = der the title What Do You Know About Connecticut, are presented some facts not generally known or realized It states that Connecticut raises more corn per acre than any other state in the union. Connecticuts average yield per acre for the ten years from 1900 to 1909 was 36.S bushels, her nearest rival being Massachusetts with 36.1. She easily maintained her lead in 1910 and 1911 with average yields of 52.2 and 4S.5 bushels, respectively, each Of these figures being absolutely unequal ed for state averages at any time in the history of the country. The com bined averages for Ohio, Iowa and Indiana and Illinois for 1910 and 1911 were SIS and BAT, respectively. And on the basis of acreage value, Connec- ticut has nearly doubled her western rivals.
 An acre of small fruits will produce more in Connecticut than in any other state in the union except Florida. Con- necticut small fruits bring in S19S.S4 sper acre. In Massachusetts, $175.50; in New York, S127.S0. In the great early market garden states of New Jersey and Delaware they bring in $1.20 and S74.S0, respectively
 An acre of vegetables in Connecti- cut will bring in more than any other states in the union except Massachu- . setts and New Hampshire Connecti- cut vegetables bring in $120 96 per acre. Massa chusetts can easily beat this. New Hampshire can beat it by five cents. No other state except Florida brings in over S1OO.
 A crop of Connecticut tobacco Is worth more per acre than that of any other state. The acreage value in 1911 reached the enormous amount of SS3313 In Massachusetts it nearly reached this amount, while in many Of the large tobacco producing states It averaged under $100 per acre.
 Only two states surpass Connecticut in the average yield of apples per tree. While there are praeticaIiy no satls- factory statistics to be had upon crop production or crop value of apples, the 1910 census shows that Connecticut apple trees yielded more in 1909 than the trees of any other states except New York and Colorado, and brought a larger gross return than those of any state except Massachusetts, New 1ork Colorado and Arizona

GROW CLOVER ON FARMS or STATE
Professor Een Says That Secret of Permanent Agriculture
 Danymen's Institute Held at Preston CityInterest- ing Topics Discussed.

Growing clover as the one certain means of soil restoration for ConneCti- cut farms was the text of an instruc- tive talk given by Prof. William N. Esten of Storrs Agricultural college, who was the principal speaker of an institute held at the Preston City Con- gregational church on Tuesday under the auspices Of the Connecticut Dairy mems association.
 He illustrated his lecture with a chart showing the value of the differ ent elements in the soil and placed phosphorus as the keystone to per petual agriculture and made the inn pressive statement that II every one should grow five acres of clover per year, they would increase their land values by four million dollars, besides the crop they would gather. This would be arrived at because of the nitrogen content added to the land.
 He gave his hearers the information that the lowest cost per acre for put ting lime into the land would be S3 cents and for phosphorus 25 cents, if bought in large quantities, and he criticized the railroads for the freight rates they charged on these low grade commodities east of Danbury with the rate they charged for the western part of the state. In the western part he said it was $1 per ton. but in the east ern SIPS per ton. In Illinois there was a rate of 50 cents a ton anywhere in the state, and he said he believed that if the railroads could be brought to see the benefit that lime would do on the soil of New England they would be willing to bring it almost for nothing, such would be their increase in freight from increased shipments of produce by the farmers.
 Professor Esten spoke for about two hours, and was frequently questioned by his audience of about 4U ar the 1n- stitute. At the end of his talk he re- ferred to the milk cases in which many farmers of Ledyard and Plainf1eld have been prosecuted by United States government officers, but in which the government lost their case when one or two of the Plainfield farmers con tested it. Professor Esten said that his testimony in these cases had surely been right and the government was
Norwich bulletin., 1914-04-08

wrong, and as result all the Ledyard cases still unsettled had been nolled.a
 F. E. Duffy, president of the assocla- tion, was another speaker, and in the course of his remarks upon The Sele.t- ing Feeding of Dairy Cows he sub stantiated what Professor Esten had said about clover. He gave an example of his own experience in buying some nine acres of waste swampy land at S130 an acre. where after draining and blowing at a cost of about $200 per acre, he fertiized with 20 loads of manure to the acre, he got corn from two to four feet high the first ysao and the second year little better.
 Then he put on two and one-ha1f % three tons of limestone per acre and the next year sowed oats and clover He got a moderate crop of oats and good clover, but the year following an immense crop of clover and then 35 loads of timothy hay four feet high This great increase was because of the lime he put on and the soil was made habitable for the bacteria that would grow crops.
 The address of welcome when the institute opened in the morning was made by Arthur E. Shedd, master Oi Preston City grange. The first speak CT for the forenoon was Frederick H Chase of New York city. a member oi the progressive national committee. He opened his remarks by announcing that his talk would be on Agriculture in Alaska and Dairy Farming in Alas ka but that those before him would know just where he stood politically before he concluded his remarks. He told of his experience in Alaska, where green cucumbers sold for $2.50 each and other vegetables in proportion. Ie said the men there were willing to pay almost any price after living on beans and bacon for siV months at a time IT, oTz @f servation of the national resources as advocated by Theodore Roosevelt, anG said that he is now interested in the movement of applying the matter o1 conservation for the people.
 Luncheon was served by the ladies of the church and at the afternoon ses- sion Professor Esten and MT. Duffy spoke.

FOR VOTING MACHINES. City Meeting Will Consider ProPosi-
 ton This Week.

The city meeting called for Thurs day evening on the matter of whether the city will adopt the use of voting machines is exciting considerable at tention and it is the opinion of those who have finger on the public pulse that the meeting will vote to use the machines.
 The big argument for them on the ground of accuracy and speed in ob- taining results and the fact as shown by the last town election that no votes are lost. There were none thrown out at the last town election, while at the city election there were a large number that had to be dis carded. There is some saving in ex- pense also, d city election costing from $500 to $500. The city would use the machines owned by the town if the city meeting votes to adopt the ma chimes
