NATURE STUDY AT sroRRs.
Teachers Find Gardening an Interest
ing Feature of Summer School.

One of the interesting features of
the summer school at Storrs is the
instruction which teachers are receiv-
Ing in agriculture, horticulture and ma
ture study
Prof AIva T. Stevens is conducting
course in gardening and fruit grow
ing. This course IS designed for teach
ers and one purpose is to inform
teachers along lines which they can
follow in their own school work Ag-
rfculture as a study in rural schools
has taken considerable impetus of late
and the courses offered at the summer
school along these lines are sure to
attract considerable attention.
Friday afternoon Professor Stevens
lectured about hotbeds and coldfraInes
their construction, use. location and
management
sary parts at hand, constructed a hot
bed in the presence of the teachers
and gave explicit directions for making
the best kinds of hotbeds. He told
how homemade hotbeds could be con-
structed at small cost
In speaking of the management OF
hotbeds, he said: THE pit Should be
dug in the fall of the year. 1t should
be filled with old leaves to prevent
freezing. The depth of the pit should
depend upon the length of time one
wishes to use it. The best source OF
neat for a hotbed is horse manure
mixed with loan and straw. Don't
use sawdust. From four to six inches
OF good loan soil may be placed on the
top OF the straw and manure. The
best kind of soil for this purpose may
be prepared from tough turf.
AT first the temperature of the soil
will reach 120 degrees or more Later
the soil will cool. Care should be ex-
erc1sed not to plant when the tempera-
ture OF the soil IS too high

In looking over some old papers at

The proclamation was presented

BLACK BASS FALLING OFF.
The Season. VIII Be Below Normal, the
Way Il Looks to Fry Distributor.

S. A. Grtswold, an employee of the
fish and game commission, who is now
engaged in distributing black bass fry,
said Monday that the outlook for bass
fishing this season was not promising.
That seems to be true locally, as far as
early news Of catches at Gardner Lake,
Lantern Hill and others ponds is con-
cerned. The season opened July 1 and
the reports OF fishermen for the first
few days indicated that the catch
would be larger than usual. But since
then there had been such a falling off
in the number of fish caught that fish,
ermen were inclined to believe that the
season would not be even normal IN
the number of fish caught. The short
age of the fish Is attributed to the I'M
favorable weather earlier in the year.
The state does not own a bass
hatchery of it's own, and all the fry 1t
distributes are obtained at the private
hatchery at Lake Waramaug. New Mil
ford, owned by Henry w. Beaman
Last year there were 10000 fry dis
tributed. It is not expected that there
will be more than 10000 available this
year
The falling off in the distribution. is
due entirely to the fact that the sup
ply at the hatchery will not allow Mr.
Beaman to give the fish and game
commission more. Perhaps the situa-
ton shows the necessity of the state
owning black bass hatchery.
The state distributes fry to owners
of ponds and streams which are not
posted and in which the general public
are allowed to fish. The commission
has received about 500 applications for
fry from all parts Of the state.
Supt. John NJ. Champion Of the fish
and game commission was at Woods
Hole, Mass, Monday attending a meet
ing of officials interested in the lobster
industry. The meeting was arranged
by federal officials and the invitations
were sent out from Washington, D. c.
