 interests of Windham county farmers
 have shown, during the past few weeks, that only about one fifth of the corn tests up to S5. the minimum standard for good seed corn and that some of the tests showed as low as 26. This is believed to be due to the un- favorable corn season of 1917.
 The farmers association stands ready to assist all farmers in having corn examination tests made and: has also compiled Hist of persons who have seed corn that tests up to S5 per. cent. or better.
 . As an effort will be made this year to raise a tremendous corn crop in. Connecticut farmers are particularly urged not to plant seed. corn that has not been thoroughly tested, so that they will be protected against a crop failure by reason of using corn that will not gerrninate.

PRoFFERs OF s1ooo EACH FROM TWO CORPORATIONS

Announcements made Tuesday in-

 in which Danielson is vitally inter- ested think so well of the Droposal l that a motor driven chemical trIck he
 added to the borough's fire department
 that they have offered to contribute
 generously toward the purchase of 1 one
 | Chief A. P. Woodward of the fire de- l partme1t has received the promise of Sl,O00 from the Quinebaug company l toward the cost of the truck and the E9ron1ise of another s1,000 from the connecticut Mills company toward ! meeting the purchase price of the ve- h1cle. The significance of these gifts Is particularly apparent from the standpoint of added fire protection
 when consideration is given to the facs that the major portion of the prop critics of both of these two big con cerns, upon which the prosperity of Danielson largely depends, is outside of the borough limits.

InOuSn these properties are not within the borough they are serv- ed by the same hydrant system that serves Danielson and no person who knows Danielsop or it's people doubts for minute that the services of the fire department, today, or at any oth- CT time. would not be available to pro- tect them in case of danger as much as though they were within the heart Of the borough district. Damage to them would mean damage to Daniel sons important interests.
