POETRY
TIE LAMP IN THE WEs

THE LAMP IN THE WEST. Venus has lit her silver lamp, Low in the purpie west, Casting a soft and mellow light Upon the seas full breast; In one clear path, as if to guide Some pale, wayfaring guest Far out, far out the restless bar . Starts from a troubled sleep. Where, roaring through narrow straits. The meeting waters leap; But still the shining pathway leads Across the lonely deep. When I sail out the narrow straits, Where unknown dangers be, And cross the troubled, moaning bar To the mysterious sea, Dear God, wilt thou not set lamp Low in the west for me?

NORWICH MARKET REPORT FOR
 GROWERS AND DEALERS

considerable surprise was registered Tuesday when potatoes reached a new low level The opinion of many men whose ideas are respected was that S2 would be the bottom price for potatoes. Reports came from large producing areas that farmers refused to dig their crops at the then low prices, and some potatoes were withheld for some time. However, the car lot shipments have increased, and the New York market is quite depressed. For this reason the price has again drop ped and now stands about $4 per II peck barrel. This price put the farmers re- turn in precarious way. His producing cost runs very high and in some cases is more than the receipts This is sufficient evidence to conclude that over short pc riods the cost of production does not reg ulate price, but contrarily it is regulated by the demand or the consuming quality in relation to the amount offered Some farmers have decided to get as great return as possible by peddlng their po- tatoes directly to the housewives. This is a means fo getting a greater return which in itself is considerable The diff ticulty is that it takes him away from other work in which he is a specialist. At this season weeds ought to have been combatted and having finished on well
 
 time which may be used to advantage by retailing his potatoes. Also some farm CTS believe it to be desirable to let ripe potatoes remain in the ground until prices advance. If the vines are green and wet weather is common, the notatoes are very likely to rot because of fungus. However. if the vines are dried brown and the soil drains quickly, the danger or potato rot is diminished,
 The Tomato Crop.
 A great change las occurred in the to- mato crop. Ten days ago tomatoes sold at 20 cents per pound. Since then they have dropped to cents per pound, and the big problem is disposing of the crop. Now that many people are at the shore. consumption is not up to it's possible voK ume. There is hardly any occasion For despair at the tomato price, however. for s1 per 25 pound basket for the remainder of the season is a price which will yield good returns. This crop also was being retailed by farmers to some extent dur ing the last week.
 This is the period at which lettuce. peas and beets show signs of scarceness. Only few growers are bringing in let tuce. To get crop at this season re- quires foresight, as it is not a hot weather crop unless nurtured in an ex- tren1ely careful fashion. Peas have practically disappeared from the local market. Most Connecticut cities have peas shipped in from Long Island, where cooler climate is conducive to pea pro- duction at this season.
 Huckleberries Are Plentiful.
 There is a bounteous supply of hucl1le- berries and blueberries ripening under natures guidance alone in outlying areas. Automobilists pass through Franklin square frequently with a busheI full of them.

Most men know love but as a part of life; They hide it in some corner of the breast Even from themselves and only when
 they rest In the brief pauses of that daily strife Wherewith the world might else be not
 so rife. They draw it forth Gas one draws forth
 a toy To sooth some ardent ,lliss-exacting boy) And hold it up to sister, child or wife An, mel why may not love and life be
 one?
 Why walk we thus alone, when by our
 side, Love. like 2 visible god. might be our
