HOW TO PREPARE
 CANNED GOODS EXHIBIT
Assistant Club Leader Offers Sugges-
 tions to County Members.

Regarding the preparations of can- ned goods exhibits Miss M Estella Sprague, assistant club leader has of fered the following suggestions in bulletin sent out to county club mem bers by County Agent F. C. Warner:
 If possible, have all cans same type and same size. Have all clean. Have labels put on about midway and all cans uniformly labelled. Have name of product plainly written, but not your name.
 A good way to pack cans is to have them carefully wrapped in newspaper or other soft paper-then put the cans into the paste board boxes cans are sold in. pack in a wooden box with masses of newspaper stuffed around the name of the person to whom sent ants your own name. Send insured and marked perishabIe
 All products canned in glass should be stored in a cool dark place. or should be covered to prevent fading If the store-roon1 is damp. and there is especial danger this season. the rubbers soften and decay allowing mold spores to enter
 It is an excellent plan to melt par affine-then twir1 the heads of the cans round in this, so forming 8 coy- ering for the can. Be careful to cover completely where the seal is In stor- ing tin cans. do not pack them too closSly but stack them so the air will circulate about the cans
 In selecting products for your ex- hibit. pick those true to type. have those of 9 kind. as exhibit 2, 8 or A. uniform in size. shape and color Have them a good size for table use and not too large-unless an exhibit of vege- tables which are used to feed stock as beets, turnips. pumpkins. Go over your entire stock and make careful selection.
 Tomatoes should be smooth, round deep, rich red, pink or yellow. War ty squashes are often preferred. Cab pages should be heavy. close heads. Beets--leaye two inches of the stem and bunch five together Potatoes those free from blemish, smooth, good shape-eyes not deep. Sweet corn reeufar rows, buts and tips filled out not too old Gin or out of husk). Leave q few inches of stalk
 Pick off all dead leaves. etc.-clean and wash such products as rcat crops Be careful not to scratch fd. bruise Dry thoroughly then wrap os suggest ed for glass jars-each prJduct wrap ped separately.
 Her directions for a tomato exhibit follows:
 Select six tomatoesr which shah be firm, a rich, deep red. smooth, free from blemish. without stem. and uni form in size shape and color. Also send one quart glass can of toma- toes. On glass can put label neatly pasted and write Tomato on it. Not your name. Be sure name and ad- dress are plainly written on your ex- hibit so it may be returned to you.
 Wrap each tomato also can, care fully in soft paper-pacls If possible in small wooden box-if not a strong paste board one. Stuff crushed news papers all around them good and thick. Be sure and label the box per ishable.

 History of "Howe's Falls"
 At the last session of Congress an appropriation of S10,000 was made in the bill for river and harbor improve ments, for deeping the channel of the Thames river.
 The original cause of the filling ur Of the channel was the fact that in tho year 1910 a man named Howe, who resided on the Shetucket river about a mile above it's junction with the Quinebaug, near where Taft's mill is now being erected attempted to dig a canal across point in the river owned by himself with the intention of in- creasing the fertility and value of his property, but the canal proved toe much for him, the river bursting through and sweeping away the west bank of the river. carrying away as was estimated by Col Bache in 1929 some 100000 cubic yards of soil dowr into the Thames river.
