WILLIMANTIC

Windham went gloriously over the top in spite of the serious disadvan- tages 1t encountered from the gener- al Illness, and the crippling of the canvassing force by influenza Those who have studied the local effort in previous campaigns felt little doubt about the result of this one. and their confidence has been justified. Wind hams quota was S537,000, and the to- tai subscriptions recorded amounted to S704, 200. This amount was divid- ed as, follows: s474,1O0 through the Windham National bank: S153, 300 through the Willimantic Trust Co.,, and s76.S0e >~bseribed by operatives through the American Thread Com pany. Deducting 20 per cent. to give credit to the outlying towns which placed subscriptions through these banks, Willimantic can be safely credited with s55N000 a good $50 900 in excess of it's quota. Over fifth of the entire amount came in Saturday. resulting in a tremendous rush of business at the banks and the Thread Company. The Windham National bank reported a grand total of 2,S2S e1ihscrirt ons: and the Willjmantic Trust Company 1000 subscriptions Tho ho1i- -salesmcn who came from Hartford to boost the campaign seem to have had very little effect on it.

PURE BRED PIGS IN SOW
LITTER PROJECT

The Delaware Pig Club members have
fed and cared for a number Of grade
pigs and 46 pure bred pigs in the Breed
ing project during the past summer. This
project is about completed. Thirty-five
Of the pure-bred sows should not be en-
tered In the Sow and Litter contest.
The pig has enriched more stockmen
in this country than any other class OF
farm animals. The brood-sow is the unit
of production and on most successful
farms has been pure-bred. The quality
Of the boar is even more important than
that Of the brood SOW, so he should also
be pure bred. The real profit in raising
pure bred hogs comes from raising lit
ters OF pure bred pigs. Experience has
shown that the first litter Of pigs can be
produced cheaper than any subsequent
litter. Club members have mad experience
in feeding and caring for pure bred pigs
in the breeding project and should now
be prepared for the more difncult but
more interesting and more profitable Sow
and Litter Project.
