The Professor wrote to Director

him of the communication he had re

Paulke then called n meeting of the
students and demanded that they re
call their letter, first, because it was
not an ethical thing to do. and second,
because they had no right to infringe

prosperity dulls ambition and saving. Lovers Of sweet corn may now have their fill of choice varieties at moderate prices. Local prices are 50 per cent be- low those of New Haven and Hartford Farmers usually specialize in a few crops but sweet corn is an exception-aIl of them seem to grow considerable. There IS sentimental attachment to maize, and to augment this there is a good de- mand and fair profit.
 The meat prices have dropped a few cents per pound when the whole carcass is purchased. This affects the consumer to a very small degree only, except in the case of chicken. The demand for beef has fallen off somewhat, while that for veal and lamb has increased All butch CTS complain that consumers are order ing nothing but choice cuts, leaving great portion of the carcass unsold. This is factor in the high cost of meats, be- cause the surplus turned over to a fer tilizer plant brings much smaller price than the average rate per pound paid for the whole animal. This is made up by higher prices for choice cuts.

Tomatoes were very plentiful and alos underwent a drop. Lettuce and beets are quite scarce. Sweet corn is quite abundant but the price is firm. The pea season is over.
