PEACH TREES SUFFER
Extremely. Cold Weather Means To- tal Failure Of Crop This Season New England Farmers Believe.

Springfield, Feb. 9-The peach crop cording to the best informa ton which the horticultural adviser of the league can secure. He has talked with a number of peach growers in the east .ern part of the. state as well as Hamp- den county growers; also with J. S. Hale of Connecticut. All are agreed that the cold snap in December killed most of the peach. buds and that the cold winds of January have finished the remainder. There is apparently some damage to the wood also.
 The failure of the peach crop this year offers a good opportunity to do some needed pruning. Peaches are borne on the wood growth of the previous year and the 1921 crop will depend. in large measure, on the growth this season. Pruning will stimulate: and make the trees more , vigorous and in better bearing condi- ton. Ii may also serve to bring the bearing wood of trees down nearer the ground and make picking easier.
 The old system of dehorning trees is seldom pIacticed now. It is too severe. With young thrifty trees the pruning should not be much more
 
 the trees do not need the extra stim- ulation of a severe cutting back. With older trees. especially those which have been allowed to grow tall, it will bring the new bear ring down within reach and will materially increase the vigor Of the tree. Only in cases of old trees with only few more years of bearing before them should regu- lar dehorning be practiced. It will serve to stimulate new growth and perba ps prolong the bearing life of the tree a year or two.
 Cultivation of the peach orchard should be continued just though the trees were bearing. In the last off year 1918, many growers failed to continue cultiva lion and practically all Of them now realize their mistake. It will not be necessary to fertilize so heavily as in normal years, however. for there is less of a demand on the vitality of the tree and the pruning in itsellf furnishes enough stimula tion for a good growth. The fertilizer may he reduced one-third or onc-haf.

SC0RNS ROMANCE
No, Never!'' Cries Expected Bride When She Sees Man Friends Had Picked for Her.

New York, Feb. 9.-Just when Ellis Island officials thought they had another case rivalling in heart inter- est that of Emily Knowles and her war ba by. Carlotta Giorgini, an at- tractive cs-vear-old Italian widow, the heroine of this story, had to go and spoil 1t all.
 Carlotta was made widow by an Austrian bullet. Recently friends in >Cietto, Italy, her home. arranged for her to come to America with her baby to Marry Pasquale Graziano, of Wilkes-IBarre, Pa.
 The law excluded Carlotta. how ever, the ground that she would have to support herself and her baby. and who would care for the child while she was at work: She answered this question by telling of her wedding plans. She was told that Ellis Island does not conduct matrirn onia l bureau. and unless she was able to furnish bond that she would not be- come a public charge she must return to Italy.
 Antonino Ricciardi, representative of the Society of Italian Immigrants arranged papers under which the widow would be admitted. with the understanding that she was to marry Graziano.
 But when her suitor arrived from Wilkes Barre, bringing a handsome cloak and other articles to complete an elaborate trousseau, Carlotta stamped her shapely foot and vowed never-no. never-would she marry this man her friends had chosen for her.
 They never told me that he had four children" the widow exclaimed. II would rather take deportation than marry him"

Subscription Toward Fund.
 After complete isolation for three days, Berlin is once more in touch with the world, the state highway de- partment having opened the turnpike as far as here The department, working from the Meriden end, have reached only to the town line so that travel from New York and New Haven will be suspended until the road is made fit. Nine automobile trucks and touring cars are stalled at different points along the highway from here to the town line, most of them having started out from Meriden this morn - ing for Hartford. The farmers along the route were busy this morning bulling the machines out of the drifts.
 The trolley service is now running nearly on schedule time although hin- dered by automobiles and trucks which block the tracks all the way down from New Britain. Many Ser lin resid dents who have been shut up for the period of sthe storm took the opportunity of getting out of town this m morning to do their shopping in the city.
 It was not an uncommon sight yes terday to see many residents shovel ing the snow from the veranda roofs, the heavy weight of the snow causing the structure to sag. The roof of the Westfeld freight depot collapsed late Saturday afternoon from the accumu Iation- of ice and snow and garage in Vast Berlin lost it's roof due to the ex cessive weight.

Dodd; East Berlin. R. O. Clark; Ken sington. Claude w. Stevens
 All the Berlin people have been asked to respond to the drive which will close Tuesday night if the wealth CT does not interfere. The snow has kept a great many at home and for this reason it is expected that the managers will have little difficulty in catching every one in.

Who 1t Was That Had a Desire

While visiting in Nashville, Tenn,
my ventriloquist son and hired q car
and driver for sightseeing tour,
writes a correspondent. In leaving the
city we passed a private cemetery
where the gravestones were close to
the road, and noticed that our driver
put on speed and rolled his eyes
toward the spooky-looking plot.

earthly groan come seemingly from
beneath the nearest stone, but turned
In time to watch my son grlnning be-
fore the colored driver put on a burst
of speed that nearly threw us out.
Then came another groan that seemed
to come from the seat next the driver,
and a deep voice that said: "Boy, I
want you"
That was just before we went over
an embankment and our driver lit rum
ming in the road. 1t was an hour after
he disappeared in the distance before
we caught ride back to the city.

for the success of the sales. In addi-
ton, each county farm bureau has a
committee in charge of the sales local
ly. Auction sales were also held in
San Joaquin and Shasta counties. 1t
is expected that this system will ex-
pand throughout the state during the
coming year and that it will proYe up
plicable to other products which are
capable of Standardization.
The business last year included 1873
auction sales at which 543 carloads of
live stock were sold for 81, 100, 330.79.
1t is estimated that the sales brought
a direct increased return to the farm
ers of $166,946.97 over the prices the
stock would have brought otherwise.
This is but one example of the help
given by the county agent in organic
ing farmers for selling live stock. One
hundred and three county agents in 10
states report this service as an impor-
tant feature of the work last year.
Furthermore, 1873 county agents in Ia
states report that they assisted in or
ganizing livestock shipping associa-
lions In their counties.

Anyone in United States May
Make and Use 1t Without
Payment of Royalty.
QUITE EASILY CONSTRUCTED
Sample of Grain Is Evenly Divided
and One-HaIf Is as Representative
of Whole Original Sample
as the Other.

A device with which q sample of
grain, to be used in grading a given
lot. can be evenly divided so that one
half will be as representative as the
whole original sample, has been de-
signed and patented by the United
States department of agriculture, and
anyone in the United States is free
to make and use 1t without the pay
ment of royalty.
A representative sample of given
lot or shipment of grain which is Sc
cured by means of probe, usually has
to be divided into smaller portions for
one or more of the tests to be applied
in determining it's grade. Haphazard
reduction of the size of the sample has
been found wholly unreliable, and con-
sequently the device shown in the ac-
companying photographs, known as
Modified Boerner Sampler, has recent
ly been put out by the bureau Of mar
of agriculture. 1t is similar in prin-
ciple to sampler designed by the bu-
reau year or two ago, but is so de-
signed that it can easily be construct
ed of block tin or brass by any tin
smith at about one-third the cost of
the original.
Working of Device.
The sampler is cylindrical and
stands about thirty inches. The sam
pie to be halved is poured into hop
per at the top, which is emptied by
pulling lever that removes a cap
over the lower end of the hopper. AS
