SEED PROBLEM
! BEING TACKLED
BY z COUNTIES
Farmers of Fairfield and New
Haven Planting With
Eye to Next Year.

Government inquiry having begun
to ascertain the available stocks Of
seed IN prospect for 1918 crops, it is
believed that in Fairfield and New
Haven counties there will be a short
age Of all seeds with the possible ex-
ception OF corn which promises to
show increasing yield and better quail
ity under careful treatment by seeds
men and farmers.
Frederick b. Clark, head Of the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co. Of Milford.
one of the largest seed growers in the
United States. with large acreages in
Connecticut and elsewhere in America
said today that the corn crop prom
ised good results with approximately
1000 acres planted for that purpose by
farmers in New Haven county and
a like number of acres in Fairfield
county.
| 1.-THE farmers throughout this Sec
ton have shown an unusual deter
mination to get good seed he said,
4sand they also have sowed large fields
of rye. wheat and buckwheat for seed
purposes
1.-THE indications are that New Ha-
ven and Fairfield counties next year
will begin cultivation of land which
has been allowed to grow lumber for
several generations. The resumption
OF the milling industry along the
small streams and in larger commune
ties where steam and electric power
is available is indicated by the in
creased wheat, rye and corn produc-
ton this year. Mr.. Clark added
Although committee on seed stocks
of the Department OF Agriculture will
ascertain In the canvas now begun
through the Council of Defense, that
the season in Fairfield county has been
almost too wet for good seed saving
purposes, it will find that corn, oats,
rye and buckwheat production has in
creased several hundred fold.
Glover crops such as crimson clover,
yetch, etc., will have to rely on the
available supply of western seed, it Is
| learned, for none has been saved here
The purity of the wheat, rye and
corn seed will be found far above the
average. Mr.. Clark asserts, for the
Connecticut farmer has taken great
pride in building up seed stocks that
will render the production per acre
larger than heretofore. With wet
season the vegetable market will be
greatly aided and next years plant
| ing Of the cereals promises to be in
excessof any time since the Civil War.
| Throughout the upper sections of
New Haven and Faireld counties,
agents report that clearing Of land on
hillsides not cultivated for two gem
eratfons has already begun and work
Of repairing grist mills dormant since
] the Civil War has also started.
With the higher prices of grain and
cereals the hand production has again
| its chance against the machine har-
vesting and reaping of the bigger
western fields, the produce OF which
| 1t is asserted in many quarters will go
| directly abroad while the smaller
| paintings of the East will be conserved
| for home consumption,

COUNTY and STATE.
FAIRS MAY NOT GET
EXTRA CAR SERVICE
New Haven Road Believes
Troops Movements Will
Interfere.

The New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad Co has announced to
the arrangements of county and state
fairs to be held in New England dur
ling September that extra service
usually provided for these events may
not be given this year. It says:
This action is necessitated by the
fact that the railroads in order to CO.
operate with the government must
give preference over all other traffic
to the movements. of troops to the
training camps.
The contemplated troop movements
Throughout New SFlngland commence
early in September Some of the dates
have not. Changes are necessitated
from time to time and the railroads
must be prepared to meet these
changes. Troop movements must be
made promptly, the equipment must
be ready on time, and after one move
ment is completed the equipment must
be kept modified for immediate use.
LAS in all other parts of the United
States. there are great many state
and county fairs throughout New
England during the fall. This year.
among others, viii be the Connecticut
Fair at Charter Oak Park, Hartford:
sAS " -~1iAaA6 SOi4 NOdiAuy l. Oil a.
ston, Rhode Island; the Great Bar
ri-rton Fair in the Berkshires. the
Danbury Fair and the Brockton Fair.
During the continuance of these
fairs there Is always an extraordinary
amount of traffic requiring an unusual
anout of equipment. The chances are
the troop movements will occur In
some cases on dates conflicting with
the fairs. and IN that case the New
Haven will be unable to supply the
extra service to the public desiring to
attend these fairs. It may even be
necessary to eurtail regular passenger
service during the troop movements.
While the company knows the dates
of the fairs, 1t Is and will remain un-
certain concerning the dates Of the
troop movements until officially noti-
ned by the government 1t Is there

LIBERTY BONDS
State and City Preparing to
to Boost Second
Issue.

With final payment due on the
first issue of Liberty bonds, August
30, local banks in this city which have
subscriptions of nearly So, 100000 to
care for are already planning for the
second issue that has already been
announced by the government.
The new issue, bankers declare, will
bear per cent interest and the older
bonds will be convertible at the new
rate.
Various agencies will be employed
| to disse inmate information upon the
subject Of the new bonds as well as
other national defense information.
lAmong the agencies which will be in
voked in Fairfield county are the
newspapers motion picture theatres,
four minute speakers of the State
| Council of Defense, organized shop
talks by the Fairfield County associa-
ton members, rural telephone ex-
changes which will he requested to
disseminate Information to telephone
subscribers at certain hours each day,
and probably the public school system
of Bridgeport.
! With an oversuIbscription of the
original Liberty bond issue, it is I'M
likely that many of the bonds applied
for through. local banks will be al
lowed to lapse. Takers are said to be
ready for amy upon which final pay
ments are refused on Friday.

Names of Maidens
Fair Bedeck Grim
Guns In Trenches

: : = aI1
Behind British Lines In France.
Aug. 2s-1M Minnie is a. very forward
young lady who lives as a rule in Ger
man front line trenches She has no
pretensions at all to beauty. She is
for use, not for ornament She. is a
trench gun. and her projectiles re-
mind one Of plum puddings attached
to sticks. They fly very irregularly
but burst very regularly in that part
of No-Man's Land furthest removed
from Minnie's temporary lodging.
Just before the latest push around
Ypres. there was a particular Minnie
located a few miles from Ypres, which
was more than usually a nuisance.
The British trench was not well sited.
nor very well protected. Consequent.
" when Minnie was active, she made
things very uncomfortable for the oc-s
cupants OF that British trench. More
over, she had no regular habits, she
worked on no plan, ladylike she did
just about as she wished
The young British subalterns hated
her with persistent, pervaaing ha-,
tired, and concocted many schemes for:
her undoinfg, but to no avail. But
one night, chance brought into the
trench a very irritable old artillery
officer. just as Minnie was active. One
OF Minnie,s buildings soiled his boots,
and thereby aroused in him grim
discrimination to devote himself to her
destruction
He stayed in the tr, nch all that
night. studying Minnie's location ana
characteristics. and on the morrow:
he returned. followed by his ORDERLY.
uncoiling wire as he walked. At the
trench end of the wire a Temporary
telephone was fixed The far end of
the wire led back mile and q half.
to battery Of neid artillery.
Along about noon Minnie opened up
for her midday strafe. Promptly the
artillery officer verified his observa s
tons Of the night before and spoke
few figures INTO the telephone a.
minute later a loud boom announced
the arrival of British shell just across
on the other side of No Mans Land.
The British officer swore softly, and
spoke again Into the telephone. 1ha
flrst shell had been at least 80 yards
OFF. The second was perhaps 20
yards on the other side. Again the
officer spoke into the telephone. and
for the third time the gun spoke.
Bulls Eye sang the officer into the
telephone. and packed up his BELONG
ings In business-like fashion. Mine
ME was deceased.

venir bore a. suitable inscription in
Japanese and contained a scroll, sign
ed by leading residents, asserting:-
THE existence of friendly relations
between your country and ours is ira
ditional. Yet, by the entrance of the
United States Of America into the
present war our interests have be-
come more closely linked together
than ever before; the friendship ex-
listing between us has so naatured that
today we are not only friends but al
lies.
We deem It a fitting occasion there
fore for US to show our high regard
for you and through you our warm
feeling for the American people, by
presenting to you this bowl, May
1t serve both as a mark OF our re-
speet for you and as a token of our
sincere friendship. for your fellow
oountryInen.'
Admiral Knight accepted the gift
as an expression Of the good feeling
borne for the United States by the
people Of Japan.
The entertainment consisted of jug
glery and geisha dances, Japanese
artists painted fans before the guests
and later presented them to the Amer
leans as souvenirs.
