Farmers of State
 May Now Purchase
 Soy Beans at Cost

The Connecticut Committee of Food Supply has purchased sixty bushels of soy beans for seed and will dispose of them at cost to Connecticut farmers who wish them. No orders will be filled less than one busheL The price will be cash The Mammoth Yellow will cost $6-35 bushel, f. o. b. Hart ford, and the Medium Green will be $685 a bushel, f. O. b. Hartford.
 The soy bean is comparatively a new crop in New England but the Connecticut Experiment stations have tested out their value for the past four years and found them satisfac- tory for the following purposes; for green feed in late summer, for silage with corn, for soil improvement, and for seed production It is very de- sirable to plant the soy beans with si- lage corn to increase the feeding value of the silage
 The crop is grown very similar to field beans; that is, in drills two and one-haf feet apart, soy beans should be planted at corn planting time and given good cultivation until well start ed. but after they are a foot high there Is no danger of weeds getting ahead of them They can be Jeff standing until most of the leaves have dropped off then handled and thresh- ed similar to field beans

O'Gorman, Silent Statesman


 When it comes to getting there by dint of hard work James J. O'Gor- man recently United States Senator from New York is certainly among those to be mentioned in the front rank The former solon was born in New York city on this day in the year 1860. He grew to manhood sur rounded by politics and entered po1i- tics in the days when Tammany Hall was very powerful under the leader ship of Richard Croker, whose pro- tsge he became. His chief charac- teristic is that he keeps his mouth shut until he has something to say, anh he soon became known for keep ing every promise he made. O'Gor- man continued to rise in his own way when Ne joined the Democratic club of which Croker was the chief. tThe young man soon attracted the atten- ton of the Boss and that started him out for bigger things. While winning the regard of the Tammany hall ele- ment O'Gorman was nominated for a judgeship and was elected. In 1900 he was elected to the New York Su- preme Court, where his decisions at tracted wide attention. He was elected to the United States Senate by the New York legislature in 1911 and his term expired March 4 last.

 The capital stock has been paid ana secured agreeable to the act of lncor- poration; and the company are now ready to receive proposals, and to commence the business of Insurance The amount of capital is sufficient to inspire the confidence in the ability which they may sustain, and the bus tness will be conducted by the direc- tors with liberality and fairness.
 The practice of insuring against loss by fire is becoming more general and the necessity of a company TOT this purpose has been long exper- fenced, particularly for the counties on the seaboard and the western parts of the state; the citizens of the state are now invited to insure their dWel- lings and to avail themselves of thai security against calamity by f1re which the Legislature intends te furnish. The terms of Insurance will be made to the Secretary of the Com pany, who will receive and answer al letters on the subject.

THE WHIPPING OF MIGRANTS,

Three and a half centuries ago whipping was administered to va grants in England. The number of these had considerably increased by the dissolution of the rnonasteries and despite severe punishments vagrancy increased. The monasteries had up to that time taken care of the poor who were now left destitute. Condi- tions became so bad that on Nav E. 1893, an order was passed directing all guardians of the law to search for vagrants and these were taken to the market place of the nearest town and stripped and whipped until thev bled. It made no difference whether the vagrant was man or woman. the whipping was administered in the prescribed, form. The number of whipping posts was entirely made quate to take care of the number of persons who were punished and so posts began to spring up in great number all over the land. Conditions remained the same for more than a century and it was'not until 17e1 that the whipping of females was expressly forbidden by law.

HOW TO GROW EGGPLANT

Eggplant is a difficult vegetable for the amateur gardener to handle. says a bulletin from the National Elmer gency Food Garden Commission. whose garden instruction, approved by experts of the national Depart ment of Agriculture, is printed daily. It is a hot weather plant, therefore it should not be grown where the summer season is short. Nor should 1t be attempted In poor soil, nor by anyone who is not willing to give it plenty of attention. It requires one or more transplantings, and if it's growth suffers any check the crop is likely to be a failure.
 Inasmuch as it is not safe to set out eggplant in the garden much be- fore the middle of June, and because the plant requires Aong growing sea- son, the seeds should be sown indoors or in an outdoor hotbed. One third of an ounce of seed will produce enough plants to make a row 100 feet long. These seeds are usually sown thickly in rows in the seed boxes, and when the plants are large enough to handle. they are trans planted to flower pots filled with rich soil.
 Plants should be set IS inches apart and the fruits may be eaten when they are three or more inches in diameter.

TRAINS FOR PASSENGER

Daniel Willard Says We Will Have to Furnish Cars
 to France and Russia

Washington May 5.-Curtailment of passenger train service and ship ment of the country's entire output of rolling stock and rails to the Allies were forecast by Daniel Willard, in speech before the National Defence conference of governors and repre- sentatives of State Defence Councils.
 Already, MT. Willard said, the Fed eral Councils general railroad oard is working on plan for readjustment of schedules. Other nations at war, he said, have discontinued passenger schedules entirely, but the American government hopes to bring the rail- roads to their highest point of eff ciency by eliminating duplication and reducing the number of passenger trains, as far as possible without in- conveniencing the public.
 Of the fourteen thousand passen- ger train locomotives in the United States, the railroad board hopes to re- lease four thousand for freight trains.
 "It is vital that France and Russia have locomotives and cars," said MT. Willard we will have to furnish them. How can we do 1t? We can do it by getting along with equipment we have and putting into forcemeasures of greater railway economy.
 'tThe general railroad board of the Defence Council, comprised of five railway presidents, is working on these measures now. By reducing the time allowed shippers to load and unload cars we will have 245,OOO freight cars for one trip year. Ger many has reduced our present limit many has reduced the loading and 1In1 1oa finoa n Siy reduce our present limit from forty eight hours to twenty-four hours, and although it will cause some inconven- fence it is in the interest of all the people.
 There will be more wartime rail- road usiness than the lines can han dle. The country's system are haul ing more freight than ever before, but they cannot carry all that is in sight and it will be necessary for the Gen era1 Railroad Board to decide which classes of freight shall have prefer ence. Already the Board has said coal must go first and we are filling the countrys coal yards for the .next winter. What is the next most inn portant commodity remains to be de- cided. The Agriculture Department asked that seeds and agricultural inn plements be moved and they, too, are being given preference.
 'I shall give you an instance of what we have accomplished in econ omy of transportation. Heretofore the railway lines have taken coal from the East to the Pacific Coast in steel cars and returned the cars empty. The railroad Board has ordered to ship pers to put their coal in box cars and these cars are now being returned i loaded with freight. It caused some l inconvenience in unloading, but ev- erybody concerned agreed to accept the change.
 ''we are now rushing coal from the central fields to the Northwest by way of the Great Lakes and all other
 freight goes behind thee oal. I can say I believe this means there will be no coal shortage in that region"
