REPORTS TO FARM BUREAU
 ON CLOVER SEED TESTS

Professor J. s. Owens of Storrs col lege as recently sent to the New Lon- don County Farm Bureau office informa- ton on clover seed which should prove of value to the farmers of this country, says a statement issued Saturday at the Farm Bureau office in the Shannon build ing. During the past year it has been very noticeable in a number Of fields that were seeded down that the clover started well last last fall but that this spring there is hardly clover plant to be seen in these fields.
 Professor Owens states that some tests will be made at the college on clover seed samples taken in this state. Any men in New London county who have some clover seed left over are at liberty to call on the county agent to take sample of this seed and have it test ed at the college.
 Many times the county agent and col 1ege specialist in Farm Crops are asked to explain what has happened to some farmers clover field,' says Prof. Owens. After seeding last year the young clov- CT plants started nicely, but this spring sweet vernal and red top have taken the place of the clover. There will always be some mortalities in starting clover, but the one factor the past year has been l the importation of seed from southern | Europe. During the past several months | from 100000 to 100000 bushels of this seed have Come into this country each week. hTe Indiana Agricultural Expert nent Station has just given us a re- l port on a comparison of clover seed secured from several sources.
 The test at Indiana consisted of two l lots of seed from Italy and native seed from Indiana, Ohio and South and Nortf | Dakota, sown on separate plots in whea last fall. A good stand was secured witt both tic European and native seed. anC 1 their condition was much alike when win ter set in. However, by the last weel of April the Italian clover had died ou
 completely while the clover from na
 tive seed showed no winter-killing ] whatever, and was in splendid condition Indiana farmers are also having experi | ences which further prove the expert | ment stations trials.
 Imported clover seed is just as uncer
 tain for Connecticut as for Indiana, ant the experiences of Connecticut farmer
 are proving that 1t does not pay tt
 buy just "c,over' seed. Clover and alfal
 ia seeds Cthis is almost equally true O | all farm seeds) should be purchased onl
 when their origin is known. One yer
 practical solution to this problem is fo
 groups of farmers to purchase from othe
 farmers who produce the seed desired
 The situation suggests the question

In letter sent out to the members of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, President Charles F. Wells urges them to support the proposed charter revision which comes before the city voters at the election today CMonday). President Wells also urges the members of the chamber to support the Sl2.OOO sporo- priatlon for the proposed white way for the main streets of the city which will come up for action at ths city meeting sometime within the next week or ten days

Both of these matters stand for the progress of the city. Our charter was adopted about fifty years ago. and there is scarcely a thinking person who does pot believe that it Is time for revision because Of the large number of amendments now attached to the chart CT. The installation of the beginning of White Way for Norwich Is a step in advance. for If Norwich Is 10 compete successfully with other cities of the | state 1t must he progressive. and it has been the experience of over three hun dred cities that have adopted a White Way in the business section Of being the best means of arousing civic pride in their respective cities.

CLOTH THEFT CASES ARE
 CONTINUED IN CITY CouI

The cases against several men pre- sented in the city court Saturday morn- ing on charges of theft of cloth from To- cal mills were continued until June IS in order to accommodate States Attorney Hadlai A. Hull who desired to be pres ent at the hearings.
 Three sailors and a civilian charged with breach of the peace were present. cd i-t0re the court. One man paid SIS and the others were discharged.
 Those who were arraigned on the cloth theft charge were Joseph Zebruski and John Jasnatch of Norwich, alleged to be peddlars of stolen cloth; John Bibo and Peter Lastic, alleged to be in the ring that has been doing the stealing, and simon Rincavich and Mrs. Mary I1apouch all of Norwich. alleged to be receivers of stolen goods.
 The state was not ready to go on with the cases Saturday morning, desr- ing more time to secure evidence and and make more arrests. There is said to be evidence enough to convict all of the above but there are several persons who are being sought who are known to be in the ring that did the actual steal ing, and until these persons are arrest cd, the state does not desire to take final action.
 County Investigator William E. Jack son, Matthew R. Malinoski, special off, cer and court interpreter; Lieut. Will liam Lewis of the Central Vermont road police, and Capt. E. W. Roche of the New Haven road police, who have been making investigation and arrests, are working on aR entirely new angle that promises to make sensation if it de. velops as it now points. It is believed that wholesale and retail merchants. not only in eastern Connecticut, but in Mass achusetts, Rhode Island.
