The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Wheat has improved some around
Cottage Grove, according to Gardener
and Lewis, but even so the outlook Is
for but one-fourth to one-third of a
normal crop. The fly did lot of dam
age in that section, and while there is
no report of it's return this spring,
wheat isn't doing we'll Many farmers
sowed their wheat land in oats, others
sowed oats in the wheat for a feed
crop, while here and there is little
late planted wheat, which will make
a fair crop.
Mr.. Lewis reports pastures pretty
good, but not up to average. He says,
too, that the spring pig crop was light
and farmers generally are complain
ing of loss of pigs, particularly of
those which came early. High priced
seed potatoes are limiting planting,
there being no commercial growers.
Farmers are all supplied with help.
Corn will be planted in the place of
wheat, in many instances, and the oat
crop promises to be- large.
Have All Help Needed.
Labor conditions around Oxford
seem satisfactory so far as farmers
are concerned" said Howard Coulter
Haven't heard any one complain of
being shorthanded of late. Wheat
looks better from day to day but there
is far from bumper cropkin sight. too
much fly last fall. Lots OF wheat land
has been put in oats and some will be
planted to corn. AS to hogs the de-
mand for feeders is being cut be
cause of advance in corn and feed
stuffs, though we are still selling a
few in spite of weakness in the hog
markets."
Quit Raising Potatoes.
"No l am not raising potatoes fol-
market any more" said Frank Morton
of College Corner. 81 quit last year
potatoes making a whole lot of work
and uncertain crops and prices make
potato growing a rather risky deal
Mr.. Morton is doing general farming
He has IS acres in wheat, some OF
which has been sown to oats ant
clover, and some of which looks fairly
! good. The fly got some of his wheat
last fall, but SO far, hasn't come back
for the rest of it. He will plant Sc
acres in corn; has all the help need
ed, and SO have his neighbors. he
thinks.
"There's No Food Shortaee."

broken, however, as they were hung

country elevators are filled to the
roof with wheat, corn and oats, with
no outlet. Cash corn has for many
months been above futures, because
deliveries are impossible. Hogs and
cattle have been held in feed lots be-
cause of car shortage, congestions or
embargoes. The 1920 grain crop will
be harvested and threshed before the
1919 crop can all be marketed"
Mr.. Howard recently spent three
weeks in the south. He states that
he found the cotton farmers in the
same shape as the grain growers.
They are unable to sell their cotton

how Jerome is an American, we greet
him. Congratulations, Jerome"
Know Jerome?
Well, his ring moniker Is Jeff Smith.
Not wanting to start in the ring
game under needless handicap, he
slipped the Jerome name under the
corner of the barn. AS for the other
part of the name, he wanted to see
whether or not he could add anything
to the family glory before bringing
the Jefferds into the limelight.
jeff won the aforementioned title
the other day in Paris by knocking
out the French middleweight champ,
Ercole de Balzac.
Jeff was born April 8, 1891, in New
York, and broke into the fistic re,
cord ten years ago. He has met prac-
tically all of the good American
middleweights. Haven't the complete
record of Johnny Wilson, new Amer
lean middleweight champ, at hand, SO
can't say as to whether JEFF has met
him.
Among the stars jeff has met with
much success are Jimmy Clabby, Mike
Gibbons, George Chip, Eddie Nc
Goorty, Gus Christie, Harry Greb and
the late Les Darcy.

MIDNIGHT CALLERS
DON'T STOP TO PAY
Mysterious Auto Driver Fila
Gas Tank and Drives
Of
Police Notified But Car Doe. Not
Pass This Way

Hugh Murphy of Pomfret and the
Putnam police would Like to know who
the owner or driver of a mysterious
automobile is that appeared in POM
fret late last Friday night.
Murphy has a little garage at the
north end of Pomfret stress and sells
gasolene. Last Friday night he heard
a car stop near his gasolene pump
and looking out Of the window saw
two men filling tAe tank of their car
with gas. He called to them and they
told him they had run ont of gas and
asked him TO come down
Murphy put on some clothing and
hurried out. Just as he reached the
street the driver of the ear started his
motor and made of in the darkness
without stopping to pay for the gaso-
lene.
Murphy called up the Putnam po-
lice station. Officers Laird and Glib
ney. upon learning of the occurrence
hurried TO the junction of Pomfre'
and Main streets, but saw nothing OF
the car. Either the mysterious auto
mobile did not come through Putnam
or else it had passed before the OH
GERS reached the spot.
The description of the ear and Its
two occupants tallies somewhat with
the two convicts that. escaped from
Sing Sing. but as they did not escape
until Saturday night it could not have
been them.
