NO JUNE MEN
To Be Sent Out by Local Board
 Class 1 Order Modified.

After early indications that all of the Class 1 general service men in this district might be called out for service this month, a communication received by the local board Tuesday shows that the district is to get off exceptionally easy so far as the June 24 call for men is concerned. No quota has been as signed to the district for this month, according to Tuesdays announcements, so. unless new ruling is made, no men will be sent out this month.
 The board received on Tuesday number of applications of limited ser vice men who are desireus of getting into the spruce produetien branch of the aviation service. These appliea- tions have been accepted and placed on file and the proper officials will be mo- tified tomorrow of the number of men available from this district.
 A considerable number of young men who have become 21 years of age since June of last year were at the office of the board during Tuesday and reg istered for service. Several men reg istered here who are from other dis trices.

WHEN PEAS SHOULD BE
 GATHERED.

Peas, to be at their best, should be gathered while still small and tender Furthermore, the chemical changes that take place in this vegetable are more marked and more rapid than in almost any other. There is all the difference in sweetness and in flavor between peas that have been off the vine from twenty four to forty eight hours when compared with those gathered in the forenoon and served at the midday meal. So we say that for one who really cares for peas the best way to have them is to grow them.
 FIa growing peas we have not found the strictly dwarf varieties best. Per- sonally we prefer the semi dwarf kinds, as they require less room and yield more ahundantly. If hits of brush are not available for sticks, a few short kindling pieces may be driven into the ground on each side of the rows about or 19 feet apart. Binder tWine or cord of any kind may then be strung on these a round being added from time te time as the vines gain in height. Late varieties, such as Champion of England, require strong stakes or trellises not less than four feet in height. ''-Farm and Fire side.

GET READY FOR THE
 SPRAYING CAMPAIGN
This Like Other Work Should Be
 Planned Ahead.

The average man dosn't wait until his machine needs greasing to buy the grease. He keeps a supply on hand, both for regular use and for .emer- gencies. Again, he doesn't wait until the time for blowing to buy his plow. He plans ahead and has his plaW on hand and in working order, ready for use when the ground is ready to be turned over. He prepares ahad of time.
 The same precautions should be taken in regard te spray materials and appliances. Make it a point this year to be prepared, Be ready, Pur- chase your spray materials new and have supply on hand. Dent fool yourself thinking there will be no in seets on your crops this year. We all hope that there won't be any, but the fact remains that they are always prevalent than others, but they are ad- ways there, waiting fer an opportunity to start WeFk and when they get a firm feetheld yeu can be sure they make the most of it. You probably realize this fact from past experience. Yeu can, however, prevent them from damaging your ereRs by spraying at the proper time and by using the right kind of poison.

sTATE PRODUCES FOOD.
Greater Interest Being Shown and Larger Acreage of Small Grains is Resulting.


 The agricultural departments of the county farm bureaus and the county agricultural agents are devoting every moment at this time to helping the farmer find labor and the seed which is essential if a maximum crop of food is to be grown this year. In many cases also they are meeting re- quests from farmers for advice as to methods, management and sources of supplies. New growers of food who have taken up production from pa triotic motives are coming to the county agents in increasing numbers for help and guidance in their crop production enterprises.
 The work which the county agents have done in helping meet the seed corn emergency has been outstanding. In February it became apparent that almost all of the available seed corn in the northern states had been de- stroyed by unfavorable weather. The county agents have worked in co-op- eration with the state experiment station, the Connecticut Agricultural College and the schools in trying to convince farmers of the necessity of testing every ear of corn and in dem onstrating the methods of conducting these tests. County corn shows were held in every county with a large at tendance. Seventeen hundred and seventeen samples of seed corn were personally taken by county agents and sent to the experiment station for
 testing. Through the farm bureaus over five thousand bushels of high testing seed have been sold. To re- 1 lieve the situation in the middle west
 six carloads of high grade seed corn
 which brought the farmers of Con
 necticut a total of $1S,a64, was shipped to North Dakota and Wisconsin Through every available agency the 1 farm bureaus have endeavered to bring about the testing of every lot of corn

Every pig horn this spring should be grown in such manner that it will produce the greatest possible amount of pork at the least possible expense.
 We need more meat; our allies need mere meat. The world shortage of meat is astounding. Raising hogs is the hest and quickest method of increasing our meat supply. A hog makes five times as much food value as 3 steer or sheep can make on the same aJDaunt of feed.
 We can raise 1900 pounds of pork while we are raising 400 pounds of beef or mutton. The best COW on earth can produce aply ahaut 2,aeh hounds of meat in year; a hog can easily produce 7,560 pounds.
 Pork is the only meat that can be shipped in ordinary cars or can he transported eheaply to all parts of the world Not enly must we produce as much pork as possible, but we must produce it as ehesRly as Ressible.
 This means that we must utilize pasture in feeding hogs. If we have only a few pigs, we can fence of a
