We find that there. is considerable
haziness in the minds of many farmers
concerning the meaning of the term
crop rotation. More than this we
find that great many have no regular
system of rotating crops. The evils
of single cropping are generally re-
cognized and little such farming is
now practiced as compared 70 the
amount done in the south and west
some years ago. But practical crop
rotation means more than planting
different crops in haphazard way; it
means the systematic following of one
crop after another in a regular order
40 that the same, or a similar, crop
appears on the field every so many
years. These crops should be sell
ected, first, with reference to the pur-
pose for which the farm is conducted;
second, with reference to maintaining
or increasing the productiveness of
the land. Happily, plants are Of such
great variety that both these objects
may be reached at the same time.
While the average farmer may not
have time to study the chemical and
biological reasons for such practice,
it is possible for any one to plan a
rotation which. when faithfully fol-
lowed, will tend to enrich both the
farm and the farmer. There are 40
many things that will materially in
crease yield and improve quality, and
which cost only little time and in
telligent judgment that we must again
call the attention of farmers to the
possible gains in these directions to
be made by using the winter months
to plan future operations. First de-
eide whether your farm and farming
requires a three, four, Eve, or more.
year rotation. Make a map of the
farm and begin the plan of rotation
with the field intended for corn next
year, and follow thru with the crops
for the rotation period, to the time
when you would plant corn again il

trouble and worry and will tend t.
greater profits and satisfaction, pro

Much agitation is had throughout
the state over the proposed :odi6cation
of the school laws which will be asked
of the coming Legislature. Commits
sioner Wagner is recommending some
radical changes among which is the
placing of the taxation on a real basis
instead of a rentable or Gctitious
basis. The matter is being well dis
cussed by the Smyrna Parent-Teach~
ers' Association as we'll as other Par
ent Teachers Associations in other
towns. While there is argument
brought out both for and against said
changes, there is no dispute that our
school laws need to be changed and
more up-to-date and progressive
methods employed. DelaGare in many
respects is a back number in relation
to its old, fossilized school laws, but
what is really best will no doubt b'
brought out and generally discussed
before the Legislature when it con
venes next month.

1t had been a hard morning and ev.
erything had gone wrong. Finally the
lady of the house in desperation turned
to her trusty telephone and called 4217.
"This is the trouble department" an

"Is this where you report your trou.

"Yes, ma'am."
"Well, only want to report that Ou

Rose Kiniry and Leta Cowles danced the l Highland fling in a manner that i would have done credit to a first class vaudeville company.

BASKETBALL TEAM
 DELAYED BY STORM
Truck Comes to Aid Of Middle Y town Boys and Also Stalls
EVEN MULES FAIL TO HELP
South School Entered and School Property Damaged-Sunday in the Churches--Iarge Crowd Attends Vaudeville Show in Town Hall.

While on the way from Middletown to New Britain three members of the Middletown High school basketball team and the manager were stalled yesterday on East Berlin hill from little after o'clock until 11:3O last : evening. The car in which they were riding skidded as they were trying to make the hill and became stuck in the gutter and the more the boys tried to get it out the faster it became wedged. The members in the car were Manager Joe Murphy, Win Murphy, the guard, Griffin the guard, and Ruffin, substitute. TNe first car had already outdistanced it's run ming mate, reaching New Britain with a number of players, while the absence Of the others was not discovered until 1t was almost time for the game to be called. But it made little differ ence to Middletown whether they played substitutes or not for they won the game 47 to 19.
 After many hard efforts had been made to remove the car a large truck from the Gulf Refining Co. of New i Britain came along and the boys called for help. The truck driver being -an accomm odating chap started to drive up the hill until he could reach spot where a rope could be attached to the touring car but in so doing his own car skidded and crashed into the side of the stalled machine. The truck being a heavy machine loaded with r400 gallons of gasoline, the touring car did not stand much chance of surviving the crash and the front wheel was smashed off and a hole driven into the body After the second crash another call was sent out for help and three mules belonging to Colonel Jarvis were rushed to the rescue. Strong chains were attached to the front of the truck and then the mules started to pull, but just as the machine was coming over the brow of the hill the said chains parted com pany and the machine settled back into the rut where it still lay this morning.
 An emergency call to Middletowr by the driver of the touring cal Brought out a wrecker from that city with a new wheel and after the re pair had been made the machine was turned and driven back to Middle town as if nothing had happened During the mix-up another car ap peared out of the storm but the drive applied the brakes in time to avoit running his own car into the heal and adding to the confusion.
