FARM BUREAU DENOMINATIONS
 BEGINNING TO SHOW RESULTS

During the last two weeks County Agent Ii. F. Johnson las had an oppor- tunity to look over the various dem onstrations being run in New London county. In all of the four potato dem onstration plots the certified seed pota- toes are ahead of the other potatoes planted In all of these demonstrations aA effort is being made to determine how much value the average farmer can place on certified seed as compared wi.i home grown seed or northern grown seed not certified. Since Maine and Vermont have somewhat different rules for certi- fications it was thought best to try out lots from both of these states to determ- In what per cent. of disease could be expected from certified seed.
 Different fertilizer treatments are be- ing used in all of these demonstration plots. An effort is being made to de- termine whether it pays the average farmer to use fertilizer, high in potash on his potatoes. A two per cent. potash mixture, a five per cent and a ten per cent. are being tried out. side by side, in these different demonstrations. If the average farmer can secure just as good results from the use of a five per cent. as he can from a ten per cent. potash, he will be able to save considerable on his fertilizer bill.
 During the next three weeks the diff ferent top dressing demonstrations will be harvested. In these demonstration plots four different mixtures of chemicals have been applied to determine how much increased= hay can be expected from the use of chemical top dressing. The fol- lowing mixtures have been used: ] Ten tons of manure with 400 lbs of acid phosphate per acre.
 300 lbs. of 6-S-6 fertilizer
 50 pounds of nitrate with 200 of bone per acre.
 75 pounds of nitrate with 300 of acit phosphate per acre.

NAVY YARD coMNIANDANr

T
 The refusal of Capt. Frank D. Ser rien, commandant of the submarine base at the navy yard, to permit an agent of the internal revenue to investigate sales of ice cream and soda at the base for the purpose of collecting the govern ment tax has raised the question as to whether canteens at naval stations are subject to the tax and the matter is being taken up by the navy department and the internal revenue department. Capt. Berrien refused the internal reve- nue men permission on the ground that he had no right to permit anyone to en- ter any building without authority from the navy department and he was merely carrying out orders. He expressed a willingness to furnish the agent any in- | formation he might seek, but that he would not permit him to go through the buildings without proper authority
