STATE SHEEP INDUSTRY
New Laws to Help Development in
 Next Few Years

Within a few years Connecticut will be one of the leading, if not the leading, sheep raising state in the country, in the opinion of state off, cials and others who have watched the growth of the industry in Connec- ticut during the past two years. Add ed to the growth during that time, are the new laws, which became effec- tive July 1, and which are classed by agriculturalists as one of the best pieces of legislation enacted by the Legislature in many years. This is the so-called roaming dog law, which allows farmers to slaughter dogs found on their premises doing mischief.
 Dogs have been the chief cause of farmers refusing to further the sheep industry in this state because the canines do more harm among flock of sheep in one season than any other animals. James M. Whittlesey, state commissioner of domestic animals, said that he has received numerous letters from farmers in which the agriculturalists say they intend to raise sheep, simply because of the protection given them by the 1919 General Assembly.

These are only minor instances which we cite for example only, but undoubtedly there are numerous matters that our new officers would have brought before meeting of this kind to be thrashed out.
 The caucuses of both parties is another question that should demand the attention of every voter. As they are now held in the middle of the afternoon, when most people are at work there are seldom enough pres ent to convince passer-by that these men are nominating those who will be elected to look after the towns business interests.
 Massachusetts has good system of holding their annual business meeting after the election. There would be little difficulty in doing the same here. If both caucuses and the annual business meeting were held in the evening, it would afford almost everyone the opportunity of attending and having a voice in matters and there would be far less talk of "cut-and-dried" affairs and no one could say they were not given an opportunity to have a voice in mat ters which concerned them.

COW TESTING ASSOCIATION

An association of farmers was re- gently formed in this town that is sure to grow and prosper if they continue to employ an expert and will follow his advice. This new associa- sIon is called the Canaan Cow Test mg Association and was organized for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the dairy herds of it's members. .-- .
 We have heard and read much about slackers during the past two w three years, but little was done on ghe farms hereabouts until recently so discover slackers in the farm herds ard fiocks. Now comes number of our farmers who form an association and employ an expert in discovering stacker cows.
 This is a great step in the right direction to improve dairy herds, in crease the farmers profits and re, duce the cost of milk production thus benefting both producer anc consumer. Every farmer in towr should be a member and eventually will be or he must take a back seal and lose money while his neighbol makes some. .a

per day and expenses. The motion to employ policeman was lost and the matter of having a town manager was left to the select men. A motion was made that the town clerk investigate the matter of securing copies of the Land Records at Falls Village affecting North Ca naan and report at the next annual meeting.
 It was voted that the matter of renting the town hall be left with the selectmen, but that its control must be kept in North Canaan. It was also. voted that the selectmen be in- structed to notify the Tidewater Oil Co.,, that permission is granted for the erection of tanks on Railroad Street.
 The East Canaan Improvement Society was granted permission, if the town had authority to give it, to improve the land in East Canaan near Strattons' store for a memorial park.

Annual Business Meeting

A larger number than usual were present at the annual business meet ing which was held at o'clock. After some discussion it was voted to ad- journ the annual meeting to the first Monday. in March for the pur- pose of making tax rate.
 J! B. Reed stated that the town must pay $6600 as it's share of the cost of Butchers bridge, $6000 for the Blackberry river bridge and a new bridge needed near H. |. Lyles' residence would probably cost an other $60O0, then he moved that the town borrow $15,000 in bonds to be known as the Cement Bridge Bonds. The motion was car jed.
 The budget as pre pared by the selectmen was adopted and it was voted to give $500 to the visiting nurse association and $500 to Canaan Hose Go. for equipping it's new truck. Voted that the town clerk be given 5 cents per name for making a gen eral index of the Land Records.
 A new law recently passed requires that revaluation of all property be made every ten years and for this reason the work of the assessors will be greater than usual this year. It was voted to allow the assessor $4

TOWN MEETINGS

We were more than ordinarily inn pressed this week by the town meet Mg and election of town officers. Not because of the fact that we hav,: democratic officials this year where we had republican the year before, but because the annual business meeting took action on the several matters brought before 1t by officials who unless reelected that same day, would have practically nothing to say regarding the matter.
 Take for instance our selectmen who prepared budget of expensec for the coming year. Not one of them were reelected, yet this same budget holds good and the new town athers must plan their work accord mg1y. By this same token our town glerk agreed to see to certain things regarding the land records of the town during the coming year at his avn expense. Undoubtedly he meant if he was town clerk, he would do thus and so. The question naturally arises: will or can our new town clerk perform these duties as agreed to by his predecessor?

It is not the quest of money Which leads to life's great song But the helping hand and cheerful
 smile, That carries us along. One is happiest when doing good, Wherever they may be, Whether on the plain or in the wood Or upon the great blue sea. Life's darkest moments have a ray
 of light, To those who in the Lord have hope, Trust in Him and win the fight, And ascend the worlds great slope.
