FARMING IN CoNNEoT1CUT.

That there is room for the efforts Which are put forth from time to time to get greater production from the land in this state, and therefore make it pos sible to more nearly contribute to the requirements of the people of Connec- ticut, is well illustrated by the dis closure made in the last census to the effect that in the past ten years there has been a decrease of 287,000 acres of improved land in this state. This re- veals a movement in the wrong dtrec- ton. We not only have not been go- ing ahead but we have failed to hold our own. We are going backward at a rapid rate and it is time that attention was directed to opportunities that exist through taking advantage of Connecti- cut soil for producing greater percent age of the foodstuffs and materials con- sumed and used here.
 A pretty good answer to the inquiry that is often made as to why the state seems to be flooded with goods whicr have been brought from the other end of the country when it is next to i'm possible to get native products Is fur nished by the census figures. Connec ticut is steadily growing in population and yet those who are contributing tC it's requirements are each year putting forth less efforts to supply the demand It is natural under such conditions ths outsiders should be catering to oul wants.
 That conditions which prevailed dur ing the period of the war were respon sible for a large part of the reduction in improved farm land seems probable and yet regardless of those condition the vast amount of unused and vast ! land and the chances which prevail fo meeting the consumption requirement: of the people of this commonwealth ol so much better terms from within it borders than from without doesn't ap pear to get the serious attention tha | 1t deserves.
 That there is need of an awakenini there can be no question Efforts di rected along that channel are certainl, well aimed. Connecticut is an indus trial state and yet it's farming activitie 1 ought to show an increase rather thal a decrease in view of the facilities, tn | demand and the available land.

High Heads

High Heads
 The ear is the pivotal point from which most of the comparative head measure ments are made. Sometimes the ears themselves are out of normal position and in such cases, usually discernible at glance, you should measure with your eye from the positions where the ears ought to be.
 The head which is scientifically classed as high is measured by the distance from the ears up. It is really a question of the head shape, rather than the face and 1t is the sign of certain pronounced men tai characteristics.
 You'll never find a high headed man or woman who is lacking either in ar- bition or aspirations. Such people also are quite conscious of ideals, you'll find, and are inclined to guide their lives as | much in accordance with ideals as with motives of expediency alone
 If you want to know just where a high headed man or woman is going to stand just make it a point to learn their l ideals. With these as your guide you can pretty nearly always tell in advance 1 what course they are likely to take un- | der given circumstances, courses very often at wide variance with what appear 1 on the surface to be their best interests. | Take concrete example. Suppose two men have ideals of truth. One is high headed. The other isn't The time comes when it is to be to the advantage of both to lie It wouldn't be true, of course, to say that high-headed people don't sometimes lie under temptation But you could be pretty sure that the high headed man would have more of an instinctive resistance to this temptation 1 than the low headed man.

Stories That Recall Others
A Little Story

Little Helen, one of the active young sters was missing her sister who was old enough even to go visiting and to stay away from home three whole days and nights She was getting wore lonesome every hour and after having been told several times by her mother that Louise wouldn't be home until Friday, finally hit upon a plausible pretext for getting sister home.
 Mother, let's write and tell Louise that we have a new baby at Cur house. know she would come then"
 "But we could not write that, that wouldn't be the truth and it isn't nice to tell things that are not true"
 That apparently settled the matter but Helen added: "Well, we could tell her it was a new baby doll when she got home, that would be all right, wouldn't it?"
 Lumber High, Too.
 Every time I put my hands in the water of my washing machine I get a shock said the first speaker of the gos- sip club. "Itogot so bad I had to call bup the company and have them send a man to locate the trouble. Then when he arrived the old machine just wouldn't shock anybody. He told me I received shock because I stood on the wet floor and that machines that were in cellars often shocked the users. The next time it shocks you just stand on a dry board while you lift the clothes out of the wash hN said. Then he charged we s1.75 and left"
 And you know lumber is awfully high too," remarked another member of the gossip club.

FARM PRODUCE DOWN
 FARMERS SEEK COOPERATION


 Hartford, Aug. 24.-The just issued figures of the federal reserve board upon the wholesale value of farm products, placing them at Is per cent above pre- war levels, is having a most powerful effect upon producers as it ultimately must upon consumers. In the table of commodities that the farmer much buy, the per cent advances still average 54 per cent above pre-war levels, some of the more important being: 41 per cent in groceries and provisions (which of course include these same native products) clothing and clothing material (that also is agriculturaD S6 per cent; fuel 99 per cent; building materials 103 per cent and so on up to house furnishings still naughty in their war paint prices of 174 per cent above normal.
 The Country Gentleman is led to re- mark editorially "There is as yet hardly speaking acquaintance between bush el of wheat and a loaf of bread. The tagging of retail prices shows the ten acity with which every man hangs on to all the price which he may by any pos sibility extract. The more hands it passes through therefore, the slower will the commodity come down and the longer | it will be in reaching bedrock "The farmers stuff goes at once and direct to an open market where 1t brings whatever competitive buying will pay for it with no artificial inhation." Yet at the same time he must pay, with his own deflated money the still artificial re- tail prices, whenever he buys. | But he is about thru buying at retail while selling at wholesale.
