HINTS FOR
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
Given in Exhibit of Connecticut State
Experiment Station.

The Connecticut State Experiment
station at New Haven has an exceed
ingly interesting exhibit Of the work
that it is doing in it's big tent near
Exhibition hall. 1t is all to do with
his issues and practical problems that
the up-to-date farmer, and not only
the farmer for that matter, but every
citizen who is looking for progress, is
concerned with, and staff of ex
perts are there to give anyone who
is interested detailed explanation and
advice. Five departments of the eX-
pertinent stations work are shown and
these are Botany and Plant Pathology.
E. NJ. Stoddard; Chemistry, John P.
Street; Plant Breeding. D. F. Jones;
Forestry, State Forester, w. o. Filley,
and Entomology, NJ. P. Zappe. Each
department has it's own material ex-
cellently arranged. and the work that
has been and is being done and the
beneficial results are conclusively
shown. OF timely interest to local
farmers is the demonstration of meth
DDS of control of potato blight, and
the means of doing away with rot and
scab on peaches is an exposition that
ought to be of profit. A seed testing
exhibit shows the results of germina-
tive and purity tests and under the
head of plant breeding comes a won
derfui exhibit showing the superior
varieties of corn most suited for Con-
n0CIlCuI BTOWl0B S0CUTeu Dy the pTO-
cess of selection. In the same way
with tobacco, a display is made of
new hybrids. that are most likely to
do we'll in this state. 1t was remarked,
by the way, that tobacco is Connect
cuts most profitable crop.
The department of chemistry is par
ticularly striking as here are shown
tons analyses of foods and drugs. OF
3A patent and proprietary medicines
It is shown that not over so have any
realszmerit and since 1907 of 2945 sam
pies of drugs and alleged medicines
1853. or AZ per cent. were found to
strength. The Importance of this sort
of work is great and its results WILDE
of the greatest public benefit.
In the department of entomology
there are collections OF the Connecti-
cut insects that make the private col
mires their excellent mounting and
accurate classification. Particular
stress is given at this time to mos
quito control and also to the sradi-
cation of the gypsy and brown-tan
moth, problems which are of especial
interest in New. London county. ]. w
Davis from the experiment station is
in the county scouting and spraying
now for the gypsy moth, which fer
merly so infested the southern part
of the county. especially at Stoning-
ton. In the last year or two it has
| been very largely killed off.
In the line of forestry, the work Of
1.-The fire warden and importance of fire
control are featured, and there are in
teresting photographs of the nurserie:
| where seedlings are being raised. A
| Sc year old chestnut forest at Scotland
Is among the pictures.
There are many more interesting
items that strike the individual visitor
md visit to this display is stinru
| lating as we'll as enjoyable.

ADMINISTRATION OF
PHILIPPINES CRITICISED
BY Taft Before the Commonwealth
Club of California.

San Francisco. Cal. Sept 6.-Severe
criticism of the administration of the
Philippines by Governor General Har-
rison was voiced today by William H.
Taft in an address before the Com
monwealth club Of California Mr..
Taft said that Governor Harrison,
whom he designated "a Tammany
congressman of long standing" knew
nothing about the Philippines. their
people or their problem. and that his
first act in ONCE was to place himself
under the virtual control of Manuel
Quezon. a delegate to congress from
the islands and "a Filipino politician
OF not the. highest standing in the
Philippines
The wholesale removal OF important
able and experienced American officials
OF the soy eminent to make room for
Filipino officeholders was decided upon
by Governor Harrison. said Mr. Taft,
after counsel with Quezon and Mr.
OsInena. the speaker Of the national
assembly.
THE effect on the whole service
continued Mr.. Taft, was so distress
ing that Mr.. Harrison felt obliged TO
announce that he was not going to be
as radical as reported
In general, the Philippine situation
is such, he said, that continuation OF
the policy now being pursued in the
ISLANDS might eventually demand the
intervention Of the American govern
ment in met tas same mAuIci as tho
