THE COAST GrARns.

At various times throughout the year
we hear about the rescaes which have
been made from shipwrecked vessels
about ships that are salvaged and others
that are given assistance but we get
little idea from such reports about tire
service that Is being rendered through
out the year by the ever vigilant coast
guards.
The men and vessels in this service
are constantly at work patroling their
fixed territory or responding to calls for
help and it is a case of go. whether the
distance be long or short. the weather
good or bad.
Some idea Of the work that is involved
Is indicated by the fact that during me
year ending with June the coast guard
assisted in one way and another vessels
that were valued at over s66,ooooo9, g
record in the history of the work. There
were 27Ss instances where service was
performed. The guards are not con-
fined to relief and rescue work They
are engaged IN the enforcement of the
federal laws and in more than 1900
eases did they board and examine yes
sells in the carrying on of such work.
value attachtd to their service because
Of what is accomplished it is to be re-
allied that valuable help is given
through the service Of the wireless. Get
ting in touch with stations or vessels by
ships in distress is a different problem
than 1t was some years ago when signals
had to be depended upon, but what II
means to have an efficient coast guard Is
well revealed by the fact that there were
$4,000 persons aboard the vessels thai
were given assistance Of one kind oil
another by the cutters Of this depart
ment. To those people there must have
been a big measure Of relief to know
that the government was ready witt
such assistance, but how much greater
Thanksgiving there must have been OF
the part of the 1921 who we're rescued
from peril by the Esards. Such an agen

where a decline in the number of corn
raising farms is noted.
In New England for instance there are
$4,000 less farms raising corn, Connee-
cut having $500 of that number, and
Connecticut has the most farms of any
of the New England states where corn
is raised. Connecticut raises over two
million bushels Of corn but It was grow
ing about half million less in 1918
than it was ten years previous. In the
decrease of farms Connecticut is suffer-
ing in the production OF corn and at a
time when high freight rates are costing
more to bring here from the corn belt.
Considering the avilable land, the
nearness to Connecticut users who must
buy corn and the present day freight
rates there would appear to be a chance
for the corn raisers. In the ten year
period there was an increase In the
amount of corn produced for sale in the
state but considering the production and
consumption there is an opportunity for
still greater increase to the advantage
of the producer.
1t may not be possible to raise corn as
cheap here as in some other states but
It ought to be possible to come near sup
plying our own needs with the right at
tention directed to corn raising.
