NOT PROPER PERSON TO
BE HEALTH OFFICER.
New London's Acting Mayor VIII Not
Allow DR.. Black to Withdraw Resis-
nation,

Acting Mayor Alton T. Miner Of
New London on Thursday emphatical-
ly refused to accept the withdrawal of
the resignation Of DR.. J. T. Black as
health officer and caused a letter to
that effect, giving his reasons, to be
forwarded to DR.. Black. He wrote as
follows:
DR.. j. T. Black, New London, Conn:
About noon today, 1 received from
Deputy Sheriff Tubbs a letter from
you, and later found on my desk in
my office another letter from you, with
a note Of explanation from Rev. Mr..
Kerridge. Each note was to notify
me that you wished to withdraw your
resignation in effect June LIST.
Allow me to state that cannot re-
ceive your request Of withdrawal for
the following reasons:
A vacancy exists in the office Of
health officer and can only be filled in
a manner prescribed by law.
Further, I am fully convinced you
are not a proper person to be health
officer; that you are tenperaInentally
unfit for the office; that you do not
possess the qualifications which the
law requires; that you are not a suit
able person to have the autocretic
power with which a health officer is
empowered.
My convictions are based largely on
your entire conduct of the Perkins
case-your hasty action in resignine
office in the midst of epidemic.
Your relations with the financial in
terests of the city, your willingness
and activity in endeavoring to place
the responsibility for your own lack OF
self-controI and discretion upon the
acting mayor of the city when you
knew the facts did not warrant It,
proof of which you acknowledge by
conditions exactly the same as previous
to your resignation.
Yours respectfully,
A. T. MINER,
Acting Mayor.
New London, June 2, 1915.
G. Had1ai Hull, counsel of DR.. Black,
Thursday afternoon reiterated his dec
laration of Wednesday that Acting
Mayor Miner has no voice in the APP
pointment of health officer and that
he is in duty bound to accept the with
drawa1 of the resignation rendered by
DR.. Black, and that If any physician
attempts to interfere with the orders
of DR.. Black. that physician, whether
appointed by Acting Mayor Miner or
not, will be subject to arrest, and that
County Health Officer Arthur NJ
Brown of Norwich will take a hand in
the mixup that will bring about I'M
pleasant experiences for someone.
Acting Mayor Miner was to have
appointed DR.. Blacks successor or
Thursday evening, but owing to uucer-
tainty as to the legality of his action
he deferred the appointment and has
retained counsel
Acting Mayor Miner would not d.
vulge the name of his probable ap-
pointee, but it is generally understood
that DR.. E. c. Chapman is his probable
choice.

committee to go before the common
council in regard to the matter. The
Medical society is strongly backing DR.
Black.

should then be applied any time dur
ing the Summer previous to July
first, disked in as already stated and
thoroughly worked in order to get a
compact subsurface seed bed, and
the capillary attraction restored.
Then during July or about the first
of August 500 pounds of acid phos-
phate per acre should be applied and
the land thoroughly disked again. II
the field is well filled with humus II
would not be necessary to turn under
a green crop, but 1t is necessary to
have a plenty of decayed vegetable
matter thoroughly mixed through
the soil, and the purpose of this hui
mus is not only to furnish plantfood,
but to put the ground in proper
mechanical condition so that the air
and sunlight can get down into the
ground, and so the soil will hold
water like sponge and not compact
like brick.
A heavy coating of barnyard ma
nure would be good, with or without
the green crop. With plenty Of ma
nure or a heavy green crop, ground
phosphate rock, 1000 pounds per
acre, would take the place Of acid
phosphate. Remember, alfalfa loves
phosphate, but it demands lime, an
alkaline condition of the soil. Lime
stone we have in abundance in the
state, but it must be ground.
Preparation of Seed Bed.
During August the field should be
disked in order to kill all germinat-
ing weed seeds. The land should be
leveled and the top two inches should
be put into the finest kind of tilth,
just as you would prepare vege-
table garden.
When to Sow Alfalfa.
= The ideal time for Kentucky is
from the Goth to the. 25th of Au-
gust, provided there is moisture
enough in the land, and if large
amount of humus has been plowed
under and the proper surface culture
has been practiced, there will be
enough moisture preserved to germi-
nate the seed readily. AS late as the
first of September may be safe, as
we have proved in many cases, but
it is best 10 sow between the goth OF
August and the first of September In
order to get good growth OF alfalfa
before cold weather sets In.
The reason for sowing In August
is twofold; first, the plant can get a
good start in the Fall and make a
vigorous growth in the Spring,
smothering out all weeds, and then
it is ready to produce its normal
growth and number Of cuttings dur
ing the year; the other reason is that
Spring seeding is apt to suffer from
the hot, dry weather in May. have
seen Spring seedlings succeed, but
would not recommend it on all soils.

@NE has only to look at the prog
ress already made towards the
completion of the palaces and
buildings and at the exhibits being
rapidly put into place to answer the
question as to whether the Panama.
Pacific International Exposition will
be ready on February 20, the open
ing day.
The same is true of the question
as to whether the European war has
seriously interfered with the National
and international character OF the ex-
position. There has been no with
drawal from participation on account
OF the war and in several instances
appropriations have been augmented.
The agricultural exhibits will be
seen under four different heads.
These are: Agricultural, horticul-
tural, food products and livestock.
In the Agricultural Palace, which
covers seven and one-half acres of
ground, are on exhibit the farm ma
chimes and tools as well as the raw
products of the earth.
Working Models.
The manufacturing companies have
sent their products for demonstra-
ton purposes but not content with
this have in all instances added work
ing models and moving exhibits.
The International Harvester Com
pany has mounted every type of ma
chine which does its work moving
parts in the machine so that they
are constantly operated by means of
individual electric motors. In addi-
tion actual demonstrations will be
given in the demonstration field pro-
vided for this work.

seeded last April that produced three
crops during 1914, but that grew on
deep, rich, river bottom land. Ordi-
narily l would urge seeding to be
put in during August in preference
to Spring seeding.
What Kind Of Seed to Use.
BY all means | would recommend
Western-grown seed and never inn
ported seed. In the first place, the
Western, or homegrown, seed, that
is, from Kansas or Oklahoma, is ac-
climated. 1t has a robustness that
no other grown seed seems to pos
sess. I would never use imported
seed, for the reason that you do not
know what you are buying, and ten
to one it would be Turkestan alfalfa,
which produces small plant of slow
growth; and this imported seed has
been domesticated, some calling 1t
dwarf alfalfa, but / consider it as
having no place in the agriculture of
Kentucky.
= In buying seed you should get
samples and have them tested at
your agricultural station and test
them yourself, too; this is easily done
between two pieces of blotting paper.
l have been often asked how much
seed per acre should be used in Ken
lucky. l am a great believer in. a
plenty of seed, and would recon-
mend from rs to 80 pounds per acre.
l have never yet seen field OF al
falfa that was too heavily seeded. If
every seed that you put into the
ground could be counted on to grow
then half this amount should be suf-
ficient, but | believe in having the
whole field covered not only with a
heavy growth of hay, but with Wig
orous growth of young plants.
How to Seed the Ground.
Some farmers who are clever in
seeding clover either by hand or by
the small seeding machine carried
across the shoulder are expert
enough in getting good stand. 9th
ers use the wheelbarrow seeder and
some use the seeding attachment to
the wheat drill. have seen good
stands secured by sowing with the
hand broadcast and crosswise.
would by all means recommend put
ting alfalfa in with the best seeding
machine especially made for the pur-
pose that can be purchased. vls-
tied a field this past Summer that
had been so seeded, and / do not
think there was six inches of ground
that did not have its proper proper
tion of plants growing. Proper at
tention to the seeding will secure
uniform depth and even growth and
a full crop. / would lay great stress
on the seeding of alfalfa as well as
other crops and would urge that good
seeding machines be used for the
purpose, as we must remember that
alfalfa is permanent crop. for years,
hence we should make our prepara-
tlons, especially in seeding, very
thorough.
