NORWICH TOWN
Flock Sf Juncos Noted at Bear HiII- Julia L. Williams Hame on Fur louah-The Weeks Visitors.

The word from Bear Hill is that a flock of tuncos arrived the twenty second. Chewinks have been seen and heard until quite recently. The cedar groves now harbor plenty of robins and occasionally one is seen about the house.
 The 1uncos are very tame birds, coming about buildings and picking up crumbs thrown out-not often seen so early as the twenty second of October. Their. song, a sweet trill, is beautiful when given by a whole flock all together. The cheWinlS win v ters in southern United States. They are ground birds and spend much time scratching among leaves The male bird in black. white and brown, is quickly noted, but it's mate mostly in brown, is not easily seen. This last summer their song of tow-hee-e was, uptown, almost constantly heard dur ing the day. The notes of the friend ly bIack-capped chickadee are now almost the only bird sound.
 The Audu bon Society's annual meet ing at Fairfield Saturday of this week offers special attractions this year to bird observers. During the past year ait but one county in the state was visited by the school secretary. In her lectures to the schools she show ed mounted specimens of birds taken from Bird-Craft Museum at Fair field.

MAKE WAR ON INSECTS
Campaign to Teach Every Farm
er and Keeper of Foods.
Reduction Of Only 5 Per Cent Of Pres
ent Losses Would Result In Saving
Millions Of Bushels OF I'm.
portAnt Crops.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
In an effort to reduce the enormous
annual loss Of food caused by attacks
Of insects on growing crops, stored
food supplies. and live stock the bu-
rcau of entomology of the United
States department Of agriculture, in
cooperation with the extension serv-
ices of the states, Is to begin q vigor-
ols campaign to teach insect fighting.
Covering the country as effectively
as possible with emergency funds made
available In the food production bill
just enacted by congress the entomolO-
gists will deal with every pest of i'm
portant crops. Should the campaign
planned result in a reduction Of only
5 per cent of present losses from in
sects IN amount a%gsregating millions
Of bushels 1t Is estimated would be
saved. It is expected that an effective
campaign would result in even q larger
saving.
Specialists will give demonstrations
to small groups Of farmers, fruit grow
ers and others in regions where their
services are most needed. Wherever
1t can be done persons in the community
where the demonstration Is being con-
Quoted will be asked to assist in pre-
pairing spray mixtures, emulsiOns, pol
sOned bats, dips, washes and the like.
These persons, so far as practicable,
then will be requested to assist in the
application Of these and other eas
ures in order hat each community In
which demonstrations are given will
have one or more persons acquainted
with methods Of assembling and apply
Ing insecticides and In the use Of other
remedial measures.
Specialists in rice insects will visit
rice fields. Men familiar with the in
sect pests Of the orchard ard vineyard
will be sent to those states where fruit
growing Is an important industry. In
the large trucking areas of the country
and elsewhere specialists familiar with
the insects Of truck crops will be de-
tailed. Men familiar with the insect
pests Of cereal and forage crops will
work in states where these crops are
Of most Importance. and will give spe-
cial attention to such important pests
as the Hessian fly, chinch bug and
joint worms.
In case Of serious insect outbreaks
men will be available to concentrate
effort in the infested territory, to pre-
vent, If possible, further spread Of the
pest. 1t is planned to give attention
also to demonstrating and disseminat-
ing information about methods for the
prevention Of insect losses to stored
grains, -four and other products, In
mills, warehouses and g~ranaries, and
for the reduction of losses to other
| stored food products.

GOOD WORK OF INCUBATION
That Legumes Are Benefited 10 Shown
by Several Experiment Stations
Increases Growth.

Farmers sometimes question the ad-
visibility Of inoculating legumes. That
legumes are benefited by incubation
has been shown by several experiment
stations. The Wisconsin, Illinois and
other stations have shown that i%nocula-
ton gives decidedly beneficial results.
In the first place, incubation in
creases the total growth Of the plant.
giving greater yields Of hay. In most
test cases the hay crop has been in
creased about 20 per cen and IL some
instances it has been doubled. Not
only is more hay produced, but the hay
is richer in protein and consequently
of higher feeding value, according to
w. A. Albrecht Of the University of
Missouri college Of agriculture. Cow.
pea hay from plants, %inoculated at the
Illinois station, contained 26 per cent
protein while plants not treated car
ried but 15h per cen of this valuable
food constituent. incubation enables
the plant to get nitrogen from the air
in addition to that from the soil. This
not only conserves the supply, but
when the crop Is turned under 1t In
the nitrogen content Of the
soil.
incubation, then, Is beneficial be-
cause 1t increases the yield and i'm
proves the quality Of hay and enriches
the soil through the nitrogen of the
air. These benefits justify the expense
and trouble of incubation.

RYE SEEDED AS COVER CROP
Planted In Cornfields It Frequently
Can Be Utilized as Late Fall or
Spring Pasture.

Rye seeded as a Y crop in corn
fields a frequently be utilized for
late fall and early spring pasture, or
a be allowed to mature and be
hogged down with satisfactory results.
At the last cultivation of corn. rye
can be seeded at the rate of six to
eight pecks per acre. 1t will furnish
nutritious pasturage by fall in favor
able eason In the spring the crop
may be used for pasture or blowing
under, or hogs may be turned into the
field after the grain is ripe.
Six pigs averaging A pounds in
weight were fed on a quarter Of an
acre Of rye for 40 days at the Ohio
experiment station. During this time
they made an average daily gain Of
half a pound. While hogging down the
rye the pigs were fed a fifth of q
pound Of tankage apiece daily.
Rye MS a general rule cannot COM
pete with corn for hogging down, nc
corling to specialists at the expert
msnt station. 1t may be substituted
economically for corn when it is diff
cult to harvest and thresh and when
its price per pound is about the same
as that of corn.
