APPEAL TO kLETT
 10 SAVE BULLARD
Hartford Republicans Aroused by
 Proposed City Court Change

Hartford. March 21.---The lobby of the general assembly was ehiiNehed late yesterday by evidence that tho rcpublican town committee of Hart ford had taken action to protest the naming of Clarence ". Seymour as judge of the city court of Hartford in place of Herbert $. Buliard, who has held the place for 14 years. The re- port has been current for some days that the senate judiciary committee favored the appointment Of MT. Sey- m our and would so recommend in a reror4 to the senate. Acting upon this nren,ise the committee addressed the following letter to Senator George W. k1ett and caused it to be made public:
 My Dear Senator Klett: At a n,aet;ne Of the republican town com m ittee of the city of Hartford held today 8 report was circulated that the Judiciary committee of the legislature intended to report 8 bill electing Clarence W. Seymour judge of the city court of Hartford. In view of the fact that MT. Seymour was not voter in Hartford until 4S hours before his name was introduced at a hearing of your committee as a candidate for this position, and of the further fact that he is associated in business with a member of your committee who is not a resident of this city, our com mittee wish to record our very urgent protest against this action.
 Our committee feel keenly that no good reason has been shown for re- moving Judge Bullard from the office (which he has honOrably filled with credit to himself and to the party which placed him in office for the last A years but if for any reason your committee have definitely decided to take such q step, we believe that the position should go to some attorn ey who has been identified with the city of Hartford and with the republican period.
 By direction of the republican town committee and at their unani- nous request.
 JAMES N. H. CAMPBELL,
 "Chairman."
 The man whose appointment the republicans protest is 34 years old, 8 native of West Hartford, a lawyer, a graduate of Yale university of Yale Law school. He won a lieutenancy at Plattsburg in 1917, and has since been active in military duty.

Reports Show That It Pays to
Use Formaldehyde at Time
of Planting Crops.
WORK OF DIFFERENT AGENTS
Practically None Of Flelds Given

Disease Farmers Of Porter
County Lost $4,000.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Evidence that 1t pays to treat wheat
and oats at the time of planting with
fOrmaldehyde to prevent smut is given
in reports Of number of demonstra-
tions conducted by Indiana county
agents. Fields Of oats in Dubois coun-
ty. sown with seed treated with for
maldehyde for smut as recommended
by the United States department Of
agriculture and the State Agricultural
college, showed practically none Of the
disease, while fields planted from seed
not treated contained about Is per
cent smut, according to the local coun-
ty agents report.
Work in Warren County.
As a result of the demonstration
conducted by the county agent in
Warren county it was found that a
plot Of oats planted with untreated
seed showed 33 per cent smut, while
another plot in the same field planted
with treated seed was free from the
disease. Other oat fields throughout
the county that were not treated were
infested with the disease in amounts
varying from to 35 per cent.
As the result of the damage done by
wheat smut in Porter county, farmers
will lose about $4,000 on the crop,
according to statistics compiled by the
county agent. In checking up the dam
age done by smut the agent found that
the disease had caused z per cent de-
crease in the county's yield. About
two-thirds of the farmers Of the coun-

PASTURE FOR STOCK IN FALL
Highly Important to Keep Animals In
Good Condition Through Fall
and Winter.

One Of the essential factors in keep
ing live stock in good condition
through the fall and early winter,
which is highly important, is good
fall pasture, says Andrew Boss. vice
director of the Minnesota experiment
station. Nothing excels the grasses
for pasture, though mixtures Of the
grasses and clover are better than Ell
ther grasses or clover alone, and fur
nish the best kind of feed for all kinds
Of stock.
Where an abundance of cultivated
grasses can be obtained for pasturage.
no further attention need be given the
subject. Meadow aftermath contain
ing clover, or timothy and clover,
makes good fall feed. Glover growing
in the stubble field is also an excellent
fall pasture. Pasturing stock on clo-
yer often enables the farmer to pick up
some of the wasted grain, and the
droppings of the live stock are bene-
fetal to the land.

MAKE MONEY RAISING BARLEY
Experiments Show II Will surpass
Corn AZ Ration for Fattenlns
Hogs II Properly Fed.

Experiments at the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station show that barley will
surpass corn as ration for fattening
hogs II it is properly fed. Twelve
lots of pigs were fed, using with some
a corn ration, while the others were
given barley. The return for each
pig over the cost of feed was $14.3S
for the barley-fed pigs, and $12.38 for
the corn-fed porkers.
One of the most interesting facts
brought out was the value Of barley
and whey combination, which netted a
handsome return, and the gains made
with this ration were very rapid.
If you are in a region which is suit
ed for the production Of barley, or If
you have been using 1t as a nurse crop
for alfalfa, do not be discouraged by
the prospect of lower price, due to
the curtailing Of the use of barley in
the brewing industry. Perhaps it will
pay you more than ever as feed for
your hogs and your other live stock.

Costs the United States $780,.
600, 900 a Year for Support.
Public Health Service Urges That
Measures Be Taken to De-

washington.-You pay one-half' Of
one cent every day for the support
and sustenance Of a brown rat, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
United States public health service.
There is one rat. at least, for every
person in the United States. This es-
innate is considered conservative, but
comedies with that for Great Britain
and Ireland. and. also with authorita-
tive figures for Denmark, France and
Germany. The annual upkeep per ro-
dent was computed by the same au-
thorities as $1.SO in Great Britain.
$1.2O in Denmark. and 81 in France.
The depredations in this country will
very probably exceed the estimate for
Great Britain. One-half a cent a day
is considered conservative, but even
on this computation. 1t costs the Unit
ed States $1SO,OOO,OOO year to sup
port its rat population.
1t is because of this terrific economic
loss and the additional fact that rats
are a constant menace to the public
health that the public health service
has issued a warning to the country to

There are three kinds of rats includ-
ed in the survey In this countryside
Norway or brown rat, the black rat,
and Alexandrian rat. The Norway rat,
larger and more ferocious than the
others, has pretty generally killed
them Off, and today the black rat
and the Alexandrian rat are seldom

The brown or Norway rat, since he
discovered America, has literally

that there are at least one rat for ev-

farm there are at least three rats for

showed great aptitude. AS was nat
ural In Germany at that time, his re-
searches soon took him into the field
Of perfecting weapons of war. His
work in this line attracted the atten-
tion Of his government. They gave
him every opportunity for. study. He
was sent to England. America and
France. In those places he studied
at close range the guns used by the
armies, the chemical composition of
explosives and the methods Of manu-
featuring great shells. When he re-
turned to Germany he was given stock

Then came August, 1914. and the
war. According to the inventor, his
efforts were redoubled. The big guns.
which destroyed the forts of Belgium,
were not sufficient. For years. the
