BISHOP BREWSTER WARNS.
Says Persons Giving For Relief Should
 Investigate First.

The following warning has been signed and authorized by Bishop Crauncey B. Brewster of the Prot estant Episcopal diocese of Connec- ticut:
 '"T.ie public is advised in the case of solicitation on behalf of Assyrian and Armenian Christians. to make some inqury, as there are persons from those districts who have made begging a profession. It would be wise in all cases to write to such an authority as the Rev. Paul Shim- mon, Room 27s. Metropolitan build ing, New York city.
 A Hartford clergyman of the denom- ination said Thursday in explaining why the warning was issued. that it was practically certain that Episcopa- Hans in Hartford had been victim ized by two men claiming they were soliciting for Assyrian relief. Pos- itive evidence of fraud was lacking at present, he said, but the matter might be placed in the hands of the police for investigation and possible action. It was said that a good sized sum had been secured by the two mn.

to go from a state in which there is more labor than is needed to one in which there are not men enough to cultivate and harvest the crops.
 is this: State and federal agencies will work together to list every will CT who needs help and every man will ing to serve America by doing farm work and then put the worker in touch with the man who needs his services.
 The farm management demonstrator connected with the Connecticut Agri- cultural college at Storrs. who works under the direction of the department of agriculturIe has been instructed to work and take up this farm help problem, working as an agent of the federal governments with the Connec- ticut Committee of Food Supply. Mir. Whelpton told a reporter in Hartford yesterday that the depart mept of agriculture has under consid- eration the proposition of providing a government emblem for every work CT who enlists in the agricultural army throughout the country this year. A decision should be reached in a few days. The Connecticut Committee of Food Supply also is considering the plan of a state badge for agricultural
 volunteers in Connecticut.
 I. G. Davis. state county agent leader who has headquarters in the offices of the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply In Hartford, has iS- sued a warning regarding the effect of limestone on potatoes. ''Be care ful how you use lime on potatoes" '" says the warning. The use of lime on land devoted to potatoes is very conclusive to the growth of scab and may utterly ruin the crop. While lime cannot produce scab and can be used freely if potatoes are treated with for1nalin the soil is absolutely free from the scab fungus. It's use will re- c111f in, nf e fungus exists either in the soil or on the seed.
 IL is better to keep lime off the po- tato soil and use it fer other crops. This is a real danger and amateur potato growers should be cautious.

to so out of business unless some thing Is done right away.
 A meeting of the Eastern Connnec- ticut members of the New England Milk Producers Association is to be held in the county agents room in this city on Monday next at II o'clock in the morning In connection with this meeting County Agent F. c. Warner has received the following let ter from the secretary of the New England Association:
 According to reports received by us. several things, including the lack Of grain and the soaring prices, are put ting the New England dairy industry in a decidedly precarious position. Few people, farmers least of all, re- cognize the seriousness of the situ- ation. You a student of conditions will appreciate the necessity of quick and effective action We appeal to you therefore to assist us in awakening the consuming and the producing public to the real situation and its possible consequences. For this purpose we have called mass meetings of dairy men in nearly every county in New England on Monday, May 7th at such named below, designate. Will you not cooperate with them in making this meeting a success by assisting in preparing for it, by attendance and participa tion?
 Grain we must haveI Shall we buy or raise it? Can we buy it at any price? Can we raise 1t? What will it cost to buy 1t or to raise it? What must we get for our product? Can we substitute something else for dairy ing? What is best to do anyhow and how shall we go about doing it?
 We believe the most important ag1-i cultural duty in New England today is to keep the cows on the farms.
 How can it be done? The public when it appreciates it's danger will be will ing to help. The dairymen must show the necessity that something be done and their willingness to do their part.

The usual routine for turkeys during
the fall must suffer a change. Eighty

appetites of fall turkeys used to make
the average farmer vince, though no
real waste happened. This is imprac-
ticable now. Turkey-raisers who are

summer as his conscience would al

and August my turkeys. having range
over stubble fields, seldom had more
than one meal a day. Loose wheat and
