CONSIDER MODEL PLANS FOR
 BUILDING HOUSES HE

Prevailing housing conditions in Nor wich have been taken up by the housing committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The committee will endeavor to have va- rious plans of homes prepared and fig be placed on file for the inspection ot anyone who is planning to build he ( or tenement house during the com4i.s; summer.
 In this way it is hoped to secure relia- ble information on these matters in the community. The committee will also consider the fire hazard in Norwich. In. terest in this matter has been arcused by the recent confagrations in various cities
 in this section of the country.
 All progressive communities are mak.
 ing every effort to take precautions against conf1agrations. through city ordi- nanees compelling owners of property to use non-Combustible roofing. This matter will of course have to be worked out gradually and cover a period of 10 to 1s years. If such an ordinance is passed ir | Norwich, every roof in 10 or 15 years | time will be covered with non-combusti ble roofing.
 Another safeguard which the commit tee has under consideration Is for :i, conservation of the water supply. An ef -tort is to be made to have meters placed | in all the consuners' property. Whil, | Norwich has not suffered any water fam | inc of late years. it is felt that precau tions should be taken to conserve tn
 supply.

CHAIN OF EXCHANGES FOB
 FARMERS NOW ORGANIZED

At a meeting held at Palmer Hall in Fhchville Tuesday night the Yantic Co., operative Exchange was organized. F. s. Armstrong was elected president, George Kahn, vice president, Nelson Stark treasurer and W. ". Tibbetts Pearson, Elisha Waterman and George k. Brush make up the board of directors. Elijah Abeil and Thomas Newman were elected auditors.
 At this meeting 1t was voted to capi- talize this exchange for s1e,000 with 200 shares of stock at $50 each. Plans are already under way to have the capital stock paid in before February 18th as the men wish to begin doing business in the near future.
 Following the organization meeting the directors held their meeting and yot- ed that s2 commission should be charged on all feed handled. $1.00 to be paid to
 the manager and S1 to be turned into the association treasury.
 With the organization of the Yantc
 exchange a line of exchanges straight
 down through New London county is completed Beginning at the northern part of Lebanon we find the exchanges in the order names covering large part | of the territory through the county: Chestnut Hill, Lebanon, Yandc, Norwich, Preston and Waterford. while Jeyett City of at one side takes care of the business in Lisbon and Griswold.

 Information has recently been received 1 from the extension office at Washington l giving the results of northern grown seed l potato campaign which was put on by l the farm bureaus in Massachusetts dur 1 ing 1920. In as much as Connecticut l conditions are similar to Massachusetts conditions tfris information should prove 1 interesting to the men of New London | county:
 The result of potato demonstrations | in Massachusetts in 1919 showed that l northern grown seed potatoes yielded a 1 the rate of 79 bushels per acre more thar 1 local grown seed. With this as a basi:
 a campaign was put on in 1920 through the count yagents to induce farmers tt use northern grown seed. How well thi campaig ign succeeded is shown in the fol lowing summary of statements by thirty six seed potato dealers in the state: Ii 1919 thirty-six dealers in seed potatoe
 sold 4Q.44s bushels. In 1920 they sol,
 S5,511 bushels, an increase of 45.0s
 bushels or about 119 per cent. The thir ty-six dealers sold enough seed to plan about 5.700 acres out of 900 acres il the state. The increased acreage plant ed to northern grown seed in 1920 owe , 1919 amounted to 5000 acres. The in : creased yield, on 5000 acres due to tn I use of northern grown seed amounts [ 237 900 bushels, and this valued at s1 , : per bushel would amount to sS55 5,500.

wOoDMAN's AXE LAID
 TO ANCIENT OAK TREES

Two large oak trees, among the last of the guaNdians that have steed watch over the city for the past l5e years, be- meath whose boughs notables in Nor wich's history have gathered from time to time. fell to the Woedman's axe on Thursday. These two trees, one g red oak and the other a white oak, were on the property Of Jonathan Starr at Ill Rreadway, in the rear of his residence. In years gene by there was row of these oaks extending along the high em- bAnknaent in the rear of the old Jonathan Trumhu property and the properties ad- joining.
 As years passed, the number grew less | until only two remained. These fell prey to old age and became a menace to the houses at the foot of the bank on Chest nut street MT. Starr, realizing the dan ger, had them removed. The work was done under difficulties, as one of the trees leaned far. out over the bank. Several ot
 the tree experts rejected the task until one was found recently who would take
 the contract, with the result that they
 are fast becoming frewoed. Tho basel
 of the trees measure about three feet 1T diameter and the rings show them to bs at least 150 years old.
