New London, Sept. 1.-The fact that 1 New London is the hailing port of the | ships of state senator and representa-
 tive is perhaps a reason why some | republican, tried and true, has not ex-
 pressed a desire to represent the city | in the list of state officers soon to be chosen. That does not signify that the | city has no aspirant for state sena- torial honors, for Frank Quinn Cronin is out for the nomination for the sena- torial district that includes Groton and New London and which was represent ed in the 1915 session by Senator Lu- ciuS E. Whiton of New London. The senator has not as yet announced whether he is a candidate for renomi- nation, but a little matter of that kind
 does not stop another from seeking the honor. Frank Cronin represented New London in part in the last legislature
 serving on the judiciary committed
 and attending every session of the committee and the general assembly, and guarding well the best interests of
 his native city and the state. He cer-
 tainly deserves promotion, and unless Senator Whiton should demand a sec- ond term, Frank will probably receive the nomination. In fact, he is booked for the senate.
 Hardly had it been intilnated that
 Frank o. Cronin was seeking sena- torial honor when out comes Alderman Harry c. Chappell as a candidate for the legislature. He is son of the late Alfred H. Chappell, who was a repre- sentative from New London many years ago. Were the elder Chappell alive, little story of his legislative career would fit in right here. He was truly represen tative of New London, ana had given much of his valuable time to serve his native city in the state and court of common council and took active interest in republican poli- tics. Harry is a progressive member or the present court of common coun- cil and has developed into quite a city father. as he knows all the kinks of the the! city, having been born and always lived right in the heart of New Lon don. He is perhaps entitled to the nomination for representative fully as much as is any other citizen, and rep resentative republican of the younger class. Harry is 9 hustler and will hustle for the nomination. and then it will be all over but the shouting, for the republican nominee is cock sure of election in New London about this time.
 Should Frank cronn be called up higher. and Harry ChappelI be named as his successor in the house of repre- tatives, there would still be room for one more representative, and there is opportunity for republicans to put the most popular young. man in the whole city, regardless of politics, on the ticket, and one that would strengthen it away beyond even the bending point. There is moro than one republican in the city today who are of opinion that the party managers made mistake when they induced him to withdraw from the mayoralty contest and make way for Mayor Rog- CTS. Like Harry Chappell, he is a member of the present court of com mon council and is responsible for the excellent traffic regulations that are in

land rent, labor and other items in
cident othe cost Of production, it is
easy to see that on an average our
oat crop is not profitable one AS
with many OF our other crops, the
biggest problem is that OF getting
higher yields at 4 lower cost.
The chief reason for our low av
erage yields are, in our opinion. as
follows: poor lands and lack of fer.
, tilizers; spring or winter planting:
/ failure to use the best varieties: and
oat smut.
Plant the Oats on at Least Fairly
Good Land
The practice is too prevalent o-
taking the best land for cotton and
corn, apparently under the assump-
tion that any sort OF land will do for
oats. Generally, when all the othe,
requirements are met. oats viii
probably make a paying crop on any
land that will make a fair crop OF

In getting the land in condition to
make good oat crop.
However. where the manure and

Iperience has shown that commercial
fertilizers rightly used will pay. On
most soils in the Cotton Belt VIC
would hardly recommend the use OF
potash for oats: certainly We deem
Its use inadvisable at present prices.
Acid phosphate will pay on probably
all our lands. unless 1t be on some
of the black lands in Alabama. Mis-
