RESULTS OF POTATO
SEED TESTS AT STORRS

For several years the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Storrs has been
trying to answer two questions, name
ly Ia why do certain strains OF po-
tatoes yield better than others Of the
same variety? (b) where may SEED
from the best potatoes be obtained?
MANY farmers have noticed the
progressive reduction in yields when
year." says ]. S. Owens, crop special
list for the extension service. THE
Difference in yielding ability Of diff
ferent lots OF seed purchased from
seedhouses or local stores Is frequent
Iy seen by farmers in their own fields.
TIL necessity for knowing just why
these variations occur is apparent. To
wait until the crop is grown to learn
the quality OF the seed may mean an
profitable crop.

planting seed from many sources for
q. period of years. going back to the

FISHER FINDS SYNTHETIC
GOLD PROCESS A FRAUD

Berlin, Jar. "a (By the A. P.).-Ths
search by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale for
'moonshine'' gold came to an abrupt end
today, when he was Informed by an IN
identified scientist that the German who
had claimed the discovery of a synthetic
gold proctssl was a fraud and had a
prison record.
DR.. Fisher will leave tomorrow for
home. He came to Berlin primarily to
study the German currency problem and
his investigation into synthetic god was
incidental.
In a statement to the correspondents,
Professor Fisher said today that tht pur-
ported inventor offered to demonstrate
his process for making synthetic gold but
| that for some unexplained reason Profess
| sor Fisher did not accept IL The alleged
| inventor submitted smaples of gold to
| the reichsbank which he alleged he had
made. This was found to be SO per cent.
pure. but the bank was without proof
that the gold had been made artifcially.
| This occurred in 1917. but why the bank
did not investigate further Professor
Fisher does not explain in his statement.

FARM CURED MEAT

The price Of feeds and pigs con.
tinues to drop but retailers manage In
some way to keep the cost Of hams
and bacon up to high mark. Today
the choice hams and bacon from 225
pound pig costs a farmer about all
that he can get for the pig If sold.
The man who cures his own meat
and usese the proper precautions vir-
tually cuts the cost of pork that he
eats half in two. according to j. A.
Stmms. swine specialist for Connecti-
cut Agricultural College. Not only is
this true but meat of the very highest
quality can hardly be obtained except
where it is bred right, all on the same
farm. Everyone knows that the New
England housewife will cook right, for
her savory and tempting dishes have
made her famous in every corner of
the country. The farmer who breeds
feeds and cures the pork should be-
| stir himself to furnish his wife a pro-
| duct OF as good quality as she will fur
| nish him on the table.
The right kind of a pig TO butcher
Is one that Is deep, smooth SIZED
strong backed, full manned that is not
exceedingly fat but gaining randy,
ant that wighs alive eco to. $50 pounds
He should also, be properly fed so thai
the lean and fat meat are well mix
! ed and that the meat is firm and OF
! the best flavor. This sort of pig il

PROVE VALUE OF
LIME FOR CLOVER

Conclusive proof Of the value of life
In growing clover came out at the re-
cent soil Improvement extension school
held In Monson. Rush Plumley of that
town reported that last year he used
lime on a piece he sowed to oats
and clover and that never since he
has been farming did he get such a
second crop Of clover as he cut on that
field. This was due entirely to the lime
Mr.. Plunley thinks because he left an
unlined strip for purposes of compa-
rison and on this strip practically no
clover grew.
At an extension school was conduct
cd at Monson the topic was soil fer
tility and the question of maintaining
fertility through the use of manure
and Of commercial fertilizers was dis
cussed at length. The use Of lime was
taken up and samples from rs fields
were tested for aeidity. 1t was found
that all but two of them were strong
ly acid. These two had been lined re-
Gently. So much impressed were the
farmers regarding the beneficial eff
fects OF lime that it is probable that
they will get together and order car
load comparatively.

trolling acidity of the soil it has an
other highly beneficial effect in its

S7e8, I61.32 STILL OWED BY
REP. NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Chicago. Jan. q (By the A. P).-The
republican national committee still owes
S708.161.32 for the campaign of 1920
which resulted In the election Of Presi-
dent Harding. according to figures made
pubic today by Fred W. Ephan, national
treasurer.
This amount will be reduced Thursday
however, when Mr.. Upham meets the New
England finance committee at Boston.
The New England committee will report
funds raised since their last report.
The outstanding Indebtedness includes
S521 $50 borrowed from the New York
Trust, Empire Trust and Chase National
bank of New York s127,5o0 borrowed
from the First National and Old Colony
Trust Of Boston, and s1431132 borrowed
from the. Croker National bank of San
Francisco.
At the close OF the campaign In Novem-
Der, 1920, the committee was $1,683.0Oo
In debt including S1,405 600 in loans,
$f92 600 in unpaid bills and $4,000
owed to various state committees. In
fifteen months s1,400 600 has been col.
lected, of which s741,5o0 was applied to
the loans, the state committees paid off,
unpaid bills settled, sSS.000 interest paid
and $233,5e0 spent for the operation Of

$4,000 cash on hand.
