type often lay heavily, but when they once stop. it is hard to start them up again. The death rate, too, among such hens is often very high.
 The wedge-shaped hen with the heavy end of the wedge to the front is lacking in ability to digest much food.
 Hens with small abdomens will not be able to digest enough food to main tain egg production and vigorous growth.
 Small, weak. inactive hens, with long, slim heads and long peaks, are generally lacking in vigor and are very likely to be victims of disease. Breeders report that such hens often lay heavily for a short time, but they lack the strength and vigor to stand up under continued egg production. Their chicks are likely to be weak and hard to raise.
 The good egg-type hen lays l50 or nsoee eggs in a year. She is strong, vigorous. and capable of standing the heavy strain due to heavy egg pro duction. Her head is neat, feminine, and clean, with no extra flesh. Her beak is short, strong, and slightly curved. Distance from eye to the point of the beak is short, while the eye itself is large, bright, and prom inent. Practically all good laying hens have long, broad, and deep rec tangular bodies.

Potato Late Blight Has Made It's Alp
 DearanCe

County Agent Frank L. Davis has noticed the late blight of potato ap- bearing on a few farms in Windham County. Since this is the disease that caused the greater per centage of po- tato TO. last year. it would be advisa- ble for all those raising potatoes to take out their potato crop insurance by spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
 Ali those who are not in the habit of spraying over five times would do well to pat on 8-4-50 Bordeaux mix ture for the last two sprays; this meaning eight pounds of copper sul- fate, foa- pounds of lime, and fifty gallons of water.
 The County Agent has also noticed plant hce growing in some potato fields. aud 1t would be we'll to look on the unde- side of the leaves from time to time, dae to the fact that plant lice work exceedingly rapid when they start. but can be completely controlled by a thorough spraying with Black Leaf 40, ene-half pint to fifty gallons of water, if it is put on in such a manner that the insects themselves are covered with the spray.
 Watch the potato crop; it is one of our important next winter food crops.

Manter and Stemmons From College
 With County Agent

Mir. Stemmons, Agricultural Editor of the College, and Mr Manter, who does field photographic work, were with the County Agent this week. A picture of L. H. Healey's soy bean de- menstration was taken. and d visit to the potato spraying demonstration of the Daigle Brothers of Pomfret was made.
 The Daigle Brothers potato propo- sition on the Styrnbrough place in Pomfret, is worth the while of any farmer in Windham or other counties to go to to observe. The vineseshow wonderful vigor, and even the Green Mountain variety has large number of marketable tubers throughout the field. This potato proposition on the part of the Daigle boys is known on Long Island. as well as other places, and some of the Long Island men have expressed their desire to visit the potato fields of Daigle Brothers in the near future.
 Those near at hand should certain ly take advantage of the sight that the potato field offers at the present time.
 The County Agent intends to get some definite figures on the yields caused by the different grades of fer tilizer which are being used in com pariscn. These are ASA, 5-S-7. and 4-S-6. He also intends to get some definite figures on the value of spray ing vs. no spray

"An enterprising Philadelphian got q
bright idea the other day." writes we'll
known financial authority in a Philadel-
phia paper today. "Tired of trying to
stir his fellow-citizens," he continues.
"he determined TO go to the du Points and
point out how they were concerned in the
development of great terminal at Hog
Island and also in tenant factories and n
buyers exchange here.
Everybody with anything big seems
to go to the du Points these days
The Philadelphia writer explains that
the 'enterprising Philadelphian was
cordially received, but was told that the
du Points were not interested, and, in
effect that their interests lie in Whining
ton. The writer concludes his comment
on the reported interview as follows:
The enterprising Philade lphian in ques-
ton thinks OF moving TO Wilmington.
He believes it would not be difficult TO
put through a terminal proposition and
possibly, ten structures on the plan Of the
Bush tenant factoriesP
This Indicates how PhiladeIphians are
beginning to realize the wonderful busi-
ness and port possibilities of Wilmington.
incidentally, the du Pont Company, il
was learned today, has manifested no
interest IN the disposition of Hog Island,
