Governors Proclamation

Complying with President Hard ing's proclamation, Governor Lake has issued a proclamation to the citizens of the state designating the week of May 22-28 as Forest Pro- tection Week" and calling upon the people to bend their efforts to stop unnecessary waste by forest fires. The governors proclamation follows
 My attention has been called to a proclamation in which the President of the United States has designated the week of May 22-28, 1921, as For est Protection Week.
 In this proclamation, the citizens of Connecticut are asked to plan for that week such educational and in structive exercises as shall bring be- fore the people the serious and un- happy effects of the present unnec- essayr waste by forest fires.
 Connecticut's interest in the sub ject of this proclamation, to my own particular knowledge, is such as to warrant my hearts approval of this subject, and I earnestly hope that such thought and attention will be put upon this subject of forest fire prevention during the week named that Connecticut's resources in tim Der and timberland will not suffer to the extent that they have in years past.
 Signed,
 E, J. Lake Governor

TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION
Fordson Tractor Proves 1t Is of Real
 Value on Farm

The demonstration of the Fordson tractor given by E. s. Canfield at the farm of Felix Consolini last Friday afternoon, was witnessed by a num- ber of farmers and others interested in modern farm machinery. The little tractor worked perfectly, turn ing furrows up hill or down at a speed that would make even horse gasp.
 After showing what the tractor could do with two-bottom blow, it was used to haul boulders from the field and later was belted to wood saw, where it performed with equal regularity. The demonstration proved beyond doubt that the Ford son will do the same work required of any tractor, equally as good if not better than some.

Another Bill on Daylight Saving

Daylight saving was again under discussion in the house when it came time to move an adjournment for the day.
 MT. Landon of Salisbury offered a resolution to have the judiciary com mittee prepare bill making it a misdemeanor for any person, firm or public corporation to use or dis play any clock run on any but cas- tern standard time The preamble set forth that Hartford land possibly other cities have defed the general assembly of the state in advising people to turn their clocks ahead in an attempt to effect daylight saving, and to frustrate the law establishing standard time passed by the general assembly, thereby causing great an noyance and confusion in the ordin- ary transaction of business affairs and social intercourse"
 The resolution was sent to the committee, 57 to 53.

LEAGUE PRICE FOR
 MILK ANNOUNCED
Class 1 Milk to Sell for $2.3O Per Hundred
 Pounds .

The best news dairymen in League territory have received in many months in the announcement that operations under the Dairymen's League Cooperative contract will begin May first and that the milk for May has been definitely sold to all of the large dealers, including many of the manufacturers. During the ne- gotiations for the sale of the League milk for May, which have just closed, many of the larger dealers have shown changed attitude toward the pooling plan and have given some indication of their willingness to CO., operate to help make the plan a success.
 AS was previously announced, pooled milk will be divided into four classes. Class one includes milk sold in fluid form. Dealers have agreed to pay $2.30 per hundred for milk bought under this class for the month of May.
 Class two includes milk made into several different products, the more important being plain condensed milk, milk used in the manufacture of ice cream and in the manufacture of cheese of the soft types. For milk manufactured into products in this class dealers will pay $2.10 for May.
 Milk made into evaporated whole milk, into sweetened whole con- densed milk, into milk powder and into cheese such as Swiss, Limbur- ger and others of similar types, the price per hundred pounds for May will be $1.80. . g. .
 Prices for milk manufactured into butter and ordinary American cheese will be determined by the actual quotations on these products during the month in which the milk is sold, and the actual prices cannot, there fore, be determined until the end of the month. 4'..'. ,
 All of these prices are for 3Go milk with the usual differentials for butterfat and with differentials for freight rates, The returns from the dealers for the different classes of products vii be paid by them to the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association and pooled, the dairy men receiving the average of the whole, excepting for deductions for expenses and with allowances for butterfat and freight differentials.
 The United States Department of announces that Ehare is more surplus milk on hand than be- fore in years. The pooling plan en- ables dairymen to sell all of their milk and to receive for it all that it actually brings on the market, with out having the surplus bear down the price for all of the milk sold. If it were not for the pooling plan, with the large surplus on hand, the price for May milk would have been from between $1.60 to $1.80 per hundred pounds, and even at this price it would have been inn possible to move all of the milk. .. Under the old system, the dealer was able to use the surplus to lower the price to farmers and to keep it up to the consumers, giving as reason the less he sustained in manu- featuring milk that he could not sell in fluid form. Many dealers did have some loss because of surplus.
