 and condition of the land such that i
 is possible to operate several good trucl farms. It is very common in both east
 ern and western parts of Connecticut fol i land to be so hilly and so ladened witt stones, occasioned by one or more gla
 cial periods of recent geological eras + OK, horse or tractor. Incidentally sucl that it is impractical to till the soil witt such degree that the farmer must fee soil is frequently devoid Of fertility t,
 his growing crops with fertilizer, thereb. consuming most of the product of hi I toll and frequently forcing him to aban , don the land. As we criticize the spars II population in rural areas it is well t consider what possibility a farmer ha l of making a living on many nearby farms and with regret we are often oblified t answer that his chances are nil. How ever, it is an economic waste to the na lloH 10 ALLOW tne area to go nou-pFo
 ductive. It has the possibility of rais ing a crop of sheep and we learn wit Interest that many Connecticut farmer ) are breeding herds. In any event. tn r ground may be planted to forests whih e will yield favorable remuneration i ? twenty to thirty years. Being awar y that this nation is to go on into pos t terity, the. distant view of such matter I deserve consideration. dI. Our truck farms are now yielding thei -zi products. The lateness of the season ha 7 deferred the time until now when nativ n garden delicacies may be enjoyed. Dali loads of beets, cabbage, peas, lettuc
 i carrots. greens, etc. are being offered B Native eggs and veal are also on tn '. market acss. q i,, A husband on earth is worth two ' the other place-SometimeS
