Cattle--Arrivals of beef steers today
totaled only 400 head as compared with
800 head last week with substantially
larger amounts for the last month. In
spite Of the light arrivals beef was very
slow to move, practically nothing being
done on the early rounds. later when trad
ing got under way prices were all the
way from steady to Csc lower. Quality
was only mediocre. She stock market
also was very slow, packers bidding about
quarter lower and finally filled their
orders at the decline, demand was for
inbetween kinds at s75o@s.oO. Light
weight stockers were fully steady to strong
but good heavy feeding stuff was steady
to 10@15c lower.

PINE BLISTER RUST
Established Principally Litchfield County

The Agricultural Experiment Sta tion at New Haven recently issued an interesting bulletin describing the efforts being made in Connecticut to stamp out the white pine blister rust. Dr. E. H. Jenkins, director of the Station, says:
 "The Blister Rust is established in some sections of Connecticut, prin- cipally in Litchfeld County. So far the actual damage from the dis ease has not been large but there is always danger of its spreading and causing great destruction. AL though the effects of the Blister Rust on white pine is somewhat simi- lar to that of the Bark Disease on Chestnut, it is totally unlike the Chestnut Blight in that it can be easily controlled. Without currant or gooseberry bushes of some sort in the immediate vicinity of white pine trees, there is sight possibility of these becoming infected with Blister Rust. If you wish to protect your white pines, you should destroy all currant and gooseberry bushes (~ild or cultivated) within. 200 to 300 yards Sef them"

COUNTY GAME WARDEN ARRESTS HIS DEPUTY
Appeals from Justices De- .a cision. Claim Case
 of Spite

County Game Warden I. P. Horn beck of Falls Villa$e last week ar- rested one of his deputies, J. Morton of Thomaston, also Emil Harder and Frank Morton. of Thomaston and Robert Lamphier of Waterville on the charge of violating state fishing laws in having black bass in their possession on May 30.
 The fish were caught in Bantam lake. The prisoners claimed that they were perch and admitted that six of the fish weighed one, and three-fourths pounds apiece. Wit nesses for the state said the fish were black bass. Justice Arthur Wagoner of Falls Village who heard the evil dence at Morris, where the four men were taken into custody by, special arrangement with Warden Hornbeck found the accused guilty and fined each $15 and costs, total of $43.09 in each case. .s4. :A.
 An appeal was taken to the next term of the Superior Court. The men claim the case is the result of spite as one of the states witnesses was arrested some time ago by Deputy Game Warden Morton for discharg- ing firearms near the lake on Sunday and at that time stated he would get even. The men also claim that the fish they had in their possession were not bass but perch.
