TURNIPS-THE LAST CHANGE.

Flat turnips may be sown as late as early August, this being about the last chance to plant crop of any kind this year. Good results are obtained by broadcasting in corn and cultivating in lightly, or they may be sown broad cast alone. In the latter case, the seed bed should be well prepared and free from weeds. Cover ewith light harrow or weeder. Use three to four pounds of seed per acre A light dressing of well routed manure will pay, or 800 pounds per acre of a fertilizer high in phosphoric acid. When sowing in corn, fertilizer would not be used. For gar dens and small plots. SOW about one half inch deep in drills about IS inches apart. Do not sow too thick-ene seed every half inch Is enough. When two inches high, thin to about five inches. One-haIf pound of good seed is plenty for a quarter acre.
 Turnips will stand light frosts with out injury, but should be pulled before the ground freezes. The tops may be cut off and the crop stored in any cooi place where there is no danger of freezing Department, Con- necticut Agricultural College

WAYS TO KILL BAD BUGS.
Eaters Easy to Dispose Of - The
 Suckers Cause Trouble


 The state board of agriculture re-
 ports that it has had innumerable in quiries within the past week in re- gard to control methods for some of the more common insect pests and in order that people may be advised along this line. has issued the follow ing:
 The manner in which insects obtain their food is a very important con- sideration of control. and the man ner in which insects obtain food de- bends upon the nature of their mouth parts. There are two distinct types of mouth parts:-Those fitted for bit ting and chewing (caterpillars, beetles etc), and those fitted for sucking (scale, lice, etc.)
 If an insect obtains it's food by bit ing or chewing, a stomach poison, such as paris green or arsenate of lead, is spread over the material be- ing eaten Such a poison would be useless in the case of a sucking in sect, where an insecticide which kills by contact with the insects body must be used, such as miscible oil or ''block leaf 40." If the material upon which the insect is feeding is seen to be eaten, a chewing material shows in sect injury but no trace of having been eaten, sucking insect is prob ably present.
 The potato beetle is probably the worst pest of the potato. The adult beetles pass the winter in the ground In the spring they emerge, about the time the potao plants start to grow and lay their eggs on the under side of the leaves The eggs hatch in grow rapidly, causing considerable damage Potato plants should be sprayed with paris green or arsenate Of lead, according to directions on

There has been talk of the New London Ship and Engine company erecting a number of houses on the land east of the plant, and it is ex- pected now that work will actually start within a short time.
 The houses will be erected on the property south of the Brown house which was recently obtained from the Brown estate. The houses will con- tain all modern improvements and will be strictly up to date. Streets will be laid out through the property, and it is likely that plans for the streets will come up before the next meeting of the warden and burgesses for approval

OPENING NEW COURSE
 IN HOME ECONOMICS Object is to Provide Leaders for This
 Work Throughout State.

A new course for women wishing 10 hrain themselves in home economies iH ybeing opened by the Connecticut Agrf- cultural College In order that enough twill admit to the home economics leaders may be available for this work throughout the State. This inuova ton courses women who have had two yenrs normal school training in in sthution which requires four years high school work for admission. Up on the completion of two years work at Storrs a degree of Bachelor Of Sci- erce will be granted.
 This new course at the Connecticut A Agricultural College is instituted bs- cause of the unprecedented demand upon the part of secondary schools for technically trained teachers in home economies. large part Of this iu- creased call comes because the Fed eral Government under the Smith Hughes Act Is now furnishing funds for technical training in these schools.
 The extension service of the various colleges of the country Is also utilizing an unprecedented number of technic- ally trained women. This work is de- veloping rapidly throughout the coun- try and women must be found 10 fll the positions. In order to antlcipatn this need to a certain extent, there is being formulated this course of i'm struction whereby a woman with two years training may transfer 10 the State college and there prepare her self for future work along technical lines.

POTATO STORAGE IN
 TOWN AND CITY
Good Advice As to How Tuber
 Should Be Kept.

0HOuiO pc NSPha
 The question of storage for next winter has been raised by many anna teur potato growers. The requirements are simple. Most unheated cellars or basements will furnish fair storage.
 Temperature.
 A temperature of 40 to 50 degrees would be ideal, but variotions be- tween 34 and 50 are safe. Take the temperature of your cellar now. If it is 60 to 65 degrees, it will do very well for winter storage, although po- tatoes would probably sprout in late April in such a cellar.
 Potatoes will not keep well in a heated cellar or basement Where there is no cool storeroom provided, it is sometimes possible to partition off of the basement as far as possible from the furnace. No steam pipes should run through this room.
 Keep a thermometer near the po- tatoes If the weather turns very cold and there is danger of freezing, place lighted lantern or oil stove or a tub of water, or both. near the pota- toes.
 Light and Ventilation.
 Storage rooms should be kept dark, especially in late winter and spring. Tn the early winter, before cold weather sets in some ventilation should be provided-for large quanti- ties or potatoes. A IeW DuSHelS Wouiu need very little ventilation.
 Bins.
 For large quantities It will pay to construct a bin. The bottom should be to inches from the floor and the sides the same distance from the wall. The bin may be as deep IS convenient. For small quantities. barrels or boxes will do.
 Cold Storage.
 Tn cities where cold storage is avail able it is suggested that those who have grown a few bushels and have no cellar, will do best to put their po- tatoes in commercial cold storage plants The cost will not be excessive. w. L. Slate, Jr., Connecticut Agri- cultural College.
 More things come to those who do not wait for them.

WISCONSIN STILL LEADS
WITH $4,000 FARM SILOS

There were So, 900 silos of an average
capacity of SO tons in use on Wisconsin
farms in the fall of 1916, according to
the states federal crop estimators.
One farmer in three living on farms of
more than 20 acres in Wisconsin possess
these storehouses for succulent feed.
The figures which have been collected
and tabulated at the state headquarters
office of the federal crop estimate
bureau, located in Madison, show that
about 40 per cent of the total corn
crop of 1916 was placed in silos.
In 1913 only about Is per cent of the
corn crop of the state was made into
silage. The unfavorable growing season
of 1915 in which much of the corn failed
to mature greatly added to silo popu-
larity in Wisconsin. Since then county
agricultural representatives., farm or
CARNATIONS, and bankers have found it
much easier to convince their farm
friends of the value and necessity of
silos as good crop and live stock insur-
ance.
With the present growing interests
in silo construction in Wisconsin, it is
safe to say that the state will easily
maintain the national lead in this pro-
gressive movement as not only the
dairymen but the beef producers of
the Badger state are dotting the land
scape with these watch towers Of
prosperity
Plans for silos and conferences on
construction will form part of the pro
gram for Farmers Week at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Feb. $40.
