puxr,e. rIns pu.sy.

A visitor who was stopping at ho- tel was much disturbed by the snor~ ing of one of his friends sleeping in an adjoining room. Suddenly the snoro ceased and the deathlike stiffness op- pressed the listener. He thought something had happened to his friend. He therefore went into his room and found the friend sitting up in bed.
 The friend said: "I was sleeping with my mouth open and think haya swallowed a mouse"
 The hotel doctor was sent for, who adopted the novel expedient of calling in the services of the hotel cat, and placed a piece of toasted cheese some little distance from the invalid's mouth, the theory being that the mouse, smelling the cheese, would come out to eat 1t, and would there upon fall a prey to the cat. While the remedy was working the doctor went downstairs to have a drink. The patients mind being relieved, he fell asleep and resumed his snoring When the doctor returned he missed the cat--Chicago News.

Look to Future Food Supply.

Owing to the shortage of imported foodstuffs, the production of food stuffs locally is being encouraged by the Straits Settlements and the fed erated Malay states. Even some of the rubber plantations have been con- pelled to utilize portions of their acre age for food products. This stimula- ton of agriculture has created interest In mechanical means to increase pro- duction, and a shipment of tractors made recently sold readily.

Test Seed Before Planting

Practically the only element in crop production that the farmer has completely under his own control is the planting of good seed.
 It is important that farm seeds be tested before they are sown. Other wise, a full crop can not be grown even under the most favorable wea- ther conditions.
 Seed testing for practical results, says the United States Department of Agriculture, can be done much more easily than is generally believ- cd.
 | The essential preparation for mak- ing seed tests consists of providing the simple apparatus necessary and ] of becoming familiar with the gen. eraI purposes and methods of test ing and the features of importance peculiar to tests of particular kinds of seed. Ask the county agent, or write the Department of Agricul- ture for a bulletin.

No Cheap Food, in Sight

Cheaper food is not in prospect within the next year if figures com
 piled from many sources as to the farm labor situation prove to be as bad, as indicated. The latest auth entic statement on this point comes in the form of an announcement from V. A. Sanders, field agent in New England for the U. S.. Bureau Of Crop Estimates, in which he says that the supply of farm labor in this section is 35 to 45 per cent below normal and "115 per cent higher priced than in 1910.
 The problem is not rural one by any means. It concerns cities just as surely as it concerns farms. The only advice the agricultural colleges can offer is for farmers to grow crops requiring a minimum of atten- tion and to supplant, where possible, hand labor with machine and horse labor, At best, little relief can be expected from this source. Higher priced food seems inevitable if far mers are to be in position to bid in the labor market.
 MT. Sanders report says:
 The supply of farm labor is 35 per cent to 45 per cent less than normal and 10 per cent to 20 per- cent less than year ago. Farm labor wages are 10 per cent to 15 per cent above year ago, and about 115 per cent above prevailing rates in 1910. The movement of popula- tion, both of floating labor and of farmers, is to industrial centers, the drawing power being wages much higher than farmers generally can pay, shorter hours, more attractions, diversions and amusements, aided often by the feeling that it is a los ing struggle to operate the farm longer, trying to keep up production The disposition among many persons in cites and in industrial centers to lessen produceon; to forget their du- ties to society as a whole; and the advocacy of policies that hamper and discourage the farmer are hav- ing their certain effect of reducing crop production. These conditions, the indifference and undependability Of labor have forced numbers of market gardeners throughout New England to reduce their acreages, or go out of business,"' while driving many general farmers to give up crops requiring extra labor. Far mers intend to hire . minimum of labor, to exchange work among themselves, or to make the family labor meet the need. C

No Corn Borer Here

Despite the fact that vigorous search by entomologists has failed to discover any signs of the Euro pean corn borer in Connecticut, four western states have included us in a quarantine intended to safeguard their farms against this pest. The quarantine covers corn in ear, corn stalks, celery, green beans in pod, beets with tops, spinach, rhubarb, roat and rye straw as such or when used in. packing, cut flowers or en- tire plants of chrysanthemum, aster, cosmos, zinnia, hollyhock, and cut flowers or entire plants of gladiolus and dahlia, except the bulbs without stems.
 Connecticut is not included in the general quarantine imposed by the Federal Horticultural Board and which includes parts of New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. AS this quarantine was imposed after careful investiga- tion it is evident that government authorities consider Connecticut free from the corn borer. .-

The state department today was still
awaiting complete report on the three
recent killings. These are the murders
Of Gabriel Porter. who was killed by a
Mexican federal army officer; and f.
j. Roney and Earle Bowles, who were
murdered under circumstances yet un-

Of American oil companies.
