BLEW THREE DOORS OFF. Explosion at Plant of Light and Powef Company Friday Morning.

An explosion of unusual force at the local plant of the Peoples Light and PoWer company at 3 o'clock Friday morning blew three doors off gas con tainers at the plant and put the gas service ouc of commission until we'll along in the afternoon, when normal conditions were restored. The cause of the accident has not been deter mined. Fortunately none of the em- ployes of the plant were close to the site of the explosion and no one was injured. Such explosions have occa- sionally occurred at the plant in the past.
 One Hundred New Houses Needed.
 The considerable number of Daniel son citizens who are contemplating building homes in the spring are grati- fed at learning that local banking in terests are prepared to do their part in advancing money for houses, at present so urgently needed in Danielson, town that has outgrown itself as to homes much the same as do boys who find themselves squeezed in every part in attempting to be comfortable in a last years suit.
 There is need at present of 100 ad- ditional houses in Danielson Laborfng men-an men of limited means-are going to find it possible to own their own homes this spring, under arrange ments that will make it surprisingly easy for them to enjoy the satisfaction of becoming their own landlords. House lots are to be offered at bargain rates by men who want to see Dan ielson grow, banks will loan liberally to prospective builders, and the way to home building smoothed in every re- spect that Danielson may improve to the fullest it's present splendid and greatest opportunity to become a real, hustling, growing town.
 Orders now held by industrial con cerns make certain that Danielson has entered the greatest year of prosperity in it's history. To take full advantage of the possibilities, it is absolutely essential that more houses be built so that employment may be given to scores of families now being turned away on account of lack of housing Any man who owned 50 houses Tn Danielson this morning could lease every one of them before night The cry Is for medium priced rents, homes that families of average income could afford to occupy.

 Almost any single farmer with a small orchard can work up a direct sale among nearby customers, like my neighbor whom I have referred to. if he knows good apple when he sees it. and has spunk enough to throw all others into the cider heap. But he can't do it by trying to sneak a lot of culs into a barrel s middle, in the hope that they won't be discovered till he's got out of hearing down the road He may sell such barrel, once, but he can't expect repeat orders at good prices after he's been found out.
 Larger orchardists. who have to sell in carload lots, will have to come to the cooperative system in use through all the Pacific coast fruit districts, where their combined pick will be sort ed. graded and sold by impartial agents, serving the whole association.
 But there are few of us in that class, yet, here in New England.

Where was Connecticut, all this
 New Jersey is about one-sixth the size of New York. Connecticut is about one-tenth the size of New York. All three of 'em punched together, are about one-third the size of California
 If New York took the feather out of Big Sister California's hat, and New Jersey then hornswoggled it away from New York, why mightn't tiny Connecticut have swiped it from New Jersey?
 But s'pose MT. Hale was busy with something else, just then, and nobody else between Thompson and Green wich cared enough about it to make an effort.
 For years everybody with a palate capable of doing business has known that eastern fruit possesses a flavor and a tang which are usually lacking in products of the extreme west. When California peaches first come on the market, each season, doubtless the most of us hurry to buy some. They surely do look fine. And it's most a year since we've had the taste of a fresh peach. And we sink our teeth into one, instanter.
 Then we discover that the fair glowing, seductive outside hides a stringy, unmellow, f1avorles hunk of practically inedible toughness, which might about as well be pumpkin. Whereupon we unselfshly give the others away to anybody who will take our fifty-cent basket for nothing, and turn our eyes Glastonbury way, to wait till we can get something from there which will be peach as well as look it.

He picks them right and packs them right and delivers them, himself, to customers who can afford a good thing and are willing to pay a good price, provided they can be assured that they will get what they pay for. He has proven to them by past dealings that his word is as good as their eyes, that when he says a barrel will run all alike as good in the middle as at either end, it will do so, to the last apple. He hasn't a big orchard. And he regularly sells more barrels to the cider mills than to his customers, for he simply won't pack inferior fruit.

APPLES: NEW YORK WINS AGAINST ALL COM PETITORS-THEN JERSEY BEATS NEW YORK

(Written Specially for The Bulletin)
 Perhaps some of you may have no- ticed that apples from New York State took the first premium over all the country and the world at the Panama exposition in San Francisco.
 Oh, yes, there were apples there from the Ozarks.
 And from the Michigan apple-belt.
 And from the Hood River valley.
 And from all the other boosted and boasted orchard districts of the whole wide, land.
 Nevertheless and in despite there of and in fair competition herewith, apples from Little Old New York won first place, not only for quality but for beauty and market value.
 As say, some of you may have no- tced this victory of New York over the best showings that the most ad- Vertised Pacific coast orchards could do.
 But doubt if many of you have ob- served that, shortly afterwards, New Jersey apple man won first prize against the best apples New York sent to it's own state fruit show at Rochest- CT. Came right into the victor's country into the very heart and center of its best apple section. and pulled the feather out of it's cap.
 First, New York wins against every thing the Pacific coast can do, right out at the very center of that Pacific coast too. Then New Jersey wins over the best New York can do, right in the center of New York's fruit country.

It is probably true that we can't compete with Illinois in raising corn nor with the Dakotas in raising wheat. We lack sufficient areas of land suit able for producing such crops at low cost. But we have the land and the climate and pretty nearly every other facility for producing, among other things, apples-apples of noble appear ance and highest quality-apples which ought to bring and will bring if pro- perly handled better prices than any fruit from even the most vigorously exploited orchards of Oregon or Wash ington sor California.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-01-29

Compare that method of handling with the system common throughout New England orchards. The apples are picked, often by boys wkc don't care hoot for anything except to get through tnd grab their money, dumped into piles between the trees, left there through rains and perhaps light snows, finally bought in lump by some per ipatetic speculator, who sends his own men and barrels for them.
 His packers are trained to get the most barrels possible and of the lot of any grade that will sell So they put layer of ''platers"-select, handsome apples,-on the bottom, follow it with a basket of "firsts', likewise select ed but not quite so fine, fill the middle of the barrel with bushel or so of small, malformed, wormey cider apples and then finish off the top with an- other small basket of ''f1rsts'', and an- other layer of "platers". Then the head is put on and forced home with a screw, inevitably bruising some of the very best of the top layer, and the speculator sells to anybody whom he can stick, hoping that. whichever end is opened, the buyer won't dig in deep enough to disclose the culls which make up half the barrels contents.

 But when it comes to the actual selling of them in the markets then a bushel box of Rivers from Oregon will usually bring more money than a threesbushel barrel from either New York or New Jersey or Connecticut.
 Why
 Simply because of the difference in packing and advertising.
 The fancy fruit which comes from the Pacific coast is picked with a care old-faShioned eastern apple men would call fussy. It is not yanked off into unlined baskets and then dumped recklessly into heaps on the rough or chard surface to wait the coming of possible buyer, when the other farm work reaches such a point that there is nothing better to do. Instead, it is watched from day to day, on the trees, baby, so that it can be picked the very best. From bough to box it is handled as carefully as if the apples were eggs, and liable to break if dropped or crush ed. It is packed by expert packers who reject every fruit which doesn't come up to strict standard of size and smoothness and color and freedom from ,blemish. It is packed so that one side of the box is just the same as the other side, and one end the same as the other end, and the bottom lay CTS just as fine as the top ones. The boxes are usually papered within, so as to protect the fruit from bruise in transportation, and attractiVely label led on the outside.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-01-29

That's why the average New Ens- land farmer gets $1.25 or s1.50 bar rel for his apples, while the Hood river man get S3 or $4 a bushel box for his.
 It's just a case where the bounty of nature is wasted. and the opportun- tiles offered are ignored, and the what?
 Lord only knows whether it's lack of ambition or of energy or of knowl- edge. It can't be absence of common sense, for every New England farmer between Cos Cob and Passamaquoddy Bay will tell you that's the one thing he's particularly long on!
