BANKS ARE
AIDING IN WORK
PLAN LIBERTY BOND CLUB AND
MERCHANTS DONATE THEIR
SPACE TO THE CAUSE.

The three local banks of Bruins
wick, in conjunction with many
Brunswick merchants, have organized
a broad plan of cooperating with the
federal government looking to the
popularizing of the Liberty Bond
sales. With this end in view, the To-
cal banks announce jointly this morn
ing that they are to organize a Lib
erty Bond club. in the operation of
which bonds in any denominations
will be sold on a basis of weekly pay
ments, the payments to run for fifty
Weeks-$1.G0 week TO be paid for
the fifty-dollar bonds, and $500 a
week Tor the one hundred dollar
bonds. The plan brings the opportu-
nifty of investing in these first-class,
gilt-edge government; securities to the
men of small means as we'll as TO
those who are more fortunate in the
possession of this worlds goods. All
over the United States a spirit of
deep interest has been awakened
and aroused by the patriotic people
who are flOcking to the aid of the
government in floating this immense
two billion dollar loan, the proceeds
of which are to be used to prosecute
the country's war with Germany, and
the Brunswick merchants are to be
commended for their spirit of patriot
ism displayed in the plan they are
this morning. 1t ought to
be said in justice to the banks that
they are doing this work simply as
their bit; that they are not recon-
pensed in any event, and that theirs
is merely labor of love in the good
of the cause. Brunswick people, or
those who live in the Brunswick terri
tory. who are Interested, should take
the matter up with their favorite
bank, as all three of them are work
ing in close conjunction with each
other in the plan.

CLEAN LAND FOR PLANTING
 FRUIT,

This is an excellent time of year for those who contemplate setting fruit the coming year to clear off brush, trees and other refuse such as stone walls thus getting things ready so that when spring opens, stones, stunps and other debris can be quickly taken off and the orchard site plowed and prepared for the years planting of trees. There are many who have de- sirable orchard sites that are not re- turning money sufficient to pay the interest and taxes on the land. This land at slight expense for trees and some labor on the part of the owner can be made to produce. big returns in a few years. It has been shown repeatedly that there is no danger of overproduction of apples especially in the medium and better grades of ap- pies and that there is a good margin of profit even considering the bad years and cost of bringing the orchard into bearing. Many people will put in a large planting of trees this year. Care should be exercised in the selec- ton of slope, soil and varieties. There are some varieties that do exception ally well in this section and one should be careful to use these few varieties. Plans should be made at this time to get all work possible done before the spring rush comes. Trees ought to be ordered early.

COST OF PRODUCING VEeETA- BLES.

This is a period of business. eff ciency and no one thing has greater influence on the efficiency of ones business than the way in which ac- counts are kept Farmers and mar ket gardeners. are rapidly realizing the importance of this and it is sug- gested that market gardeners this year take greater pains in keeping cost accounts on their different crops One very good grower last year said that he felt 1t was not necessary to keep cost accounts any longer as he knew pretty nearly what 1t was cost ing him. Most growers, however, do not know this and should keep their own records. Standards have changed entirely from what they were two years ago. Seeds cost more; fertiliz- CTS, much more and some types of fertilizers it is impossible to obtain 1; labor has advanced materially. These items along with other materials nec- essary to use in producing and mar keting vegetables mean a big increase. It is not possible now to market crops prof1tably for anywhere near what they could have been sold for two years ago. Because of this fact, there are many people in the county who are producing some crops at a loss. They should discover this and discon- tinue so doing The only way of do- ing this is by keeping accounts.

CAMPAIGN FOR FARM ACCOUNTS
 IN LITcHFIELD. COUNTY.

The Litchfield County Farm Bureau began on the second day of January systematic campaign to emphasize the necessity of definitely studying and planning the farm business if the greatest profits are to- be secured from farming. The planning of a more profitable farm business for next year depends upon detailed knowledge of the business done the last year. Since there are very few men who can carry complete details of any business in their head it seems necessary to begin this campaign with systematic work to show the necessity of keeping farm accounts. Under the leadership of County Agent Manchester a series of twenty meet ings are to be held in northern and central Litchfield county. MT. P. K. Whelpton, of the United States De- partment of, Agriculture, MT. B. A Mo- Donald and Mr.. l. G. Davis, of the Farm Management Department of the Connecticut Agricultural College will cooperate in these meetings At Enese meetings general community and farm problems will be discussed and the important items which 8 man must consider in planning his business and the facts he must know to plain it will be brought out from the discussion. MT. Manchester will take with him to these meetings farm account books. These books will be placed fin the hands of men who wish to begin keep ing accounts to secure information for more intelligent planning of their business. 4Ss

PROFITS IN POULTRY.
Should Be Raised as Side Line in FIoeks Not Exceeding 500, Says Ex- pert.

To get the most profit out of poultry raising, run the business side line rather than as a specialized industry. This conclusion has been reached by H. c. Knandel, in charge of poultry extension at the Pennsylvania State College, after obtaining records from chicken farms in twenty four counties in this state.
 MT. knandeIs survey of both poul- try farms and general farms estab- fishes the fact that from 200 to 500 is the most profitable number to be rais- ed in Pennsylvania. He found also that unless adequate help is available the number of fowls should be reduc- ed to insure maximum profits. He considers the following figures a good average, coming as they do from gen. eral and specialized poultry farms:
 Flocks of 100 laying hens or less gave an average annual profit for each bird of s1.71; 100 to 200 hens gave $1.64 profit for each fowl; 200 to 500 hens produces the highest revenue $1.70; 500 to 1000 hens netted sl.67 each year and HOO to 1000 dropped to cents per head.

ANTI SALOON LEAGUE TO .-.
 PROCEED. AGAINST N. Y. c. Unless It Restricts to "Wet" Territory the Sale of Liquor on Trains

New York, Jan. 10.-Unless the New York Central Railroad company issues an order within a week entirely pro- hibiting the sale of liquor on trains. or restricting it to wet territory in which it is lawful, the Anti Saloon League of New York will ask for the arrest of Alfred H. Smith, president of the road, it was announced here to- night by William H. Anderson state superintendent of the Anti Saloon League. ....
 Mir. Anderson asserted that offfciaI Is of the New York Central were notf- fled a year ago of the alleged viola tion of the law. but that they ignored the notice. Other roads in the state replied, however, and the Delaware and Hudson stopped the sale of li- quor on July H." it was said. The Pennsylvania and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads do not sell liquors on their trains and the Lackawanna, ''the only other recog- nized passenger road In the state which continues the sale of. liuuor does not sell in New Jersey or Penn sylvania and in New York is waiting on the New York Central, it's cornpe- titor, for Buffalo business according to MT. Anderson. .;,
 Mir Anderson says he has person. ally gathered evidence upon which to base complaint against the New York Central.
 If it is found necessary, Mir. An- derson added. the league will ask for warrants against the individual mem bers of the board of directors of the New York Central.
