RIGHT PRUNING METHODS
SHOWN TO FARMERS

With gathering of some 25 farmers,
including sgriculturalists and fruit
growers from New London. East Lyme
and Waterford in attendance, Prof. W.
H. Darrow, fruit specialist from Con
IectiCut Agricultural college ard
County Agent H. T. Johnson of the
Farm bureau, conducted successful
pruning demonstrations at the farms of
John J. Comstock and Walbur New
ton in Fast Lyme Tuesday morning.
The demonstration at the Comstock
farm was upon apple trees of the
gree1ing type, and involved the most
up-to-date ideas Of light pruning.
Prof barrow, and Agent johnson con-
Quoted exhibitions of late methods
used in grating and budding apple
trees, and they both gave detailed talks
upon the care of the ground in or
chard spaces. Professor barrow
brought along for demonstration pur-
poses some pruning saws of an i'm
proved type with adjustable blades
that could be arranged to hang at any
desired angle, the use of which ex-
cited favorable comment.
Following the exhibition at the
Comstock farm, the gathering repaired
20 the Wilbur Newton place, where ex-
periments were conducted in pruning
the trees of the younger type.
Demonstra tons were conducted, with
detailed talks by the County Agent
Johnson, and by Professor barrow,
advising the farmers how to handle
young trees, and bring them to matur
ity with best results. The feeding of
the soil was likewise discussed, and all
told, both demonstrations were of
much PRACTICAL value to the fruit grow
ers present. Similar demonstrations
were given Monday at the farm of J.
D. Avery in North Stonington. while
others are planned for today (Wed
nesday) at 10 a. M, at the Harry Hol-
dredge farm in Ledyard, and in the
afternoon at 100 on the H. r. Whit
man farm in Waterford.

FIRES SET ON THREE FLOORS OF
THAMES ST. BUILDING, SAYS CHIEF;
FIREMEN COLLAPSE IN SMOKE

and the recall was struck just before II
O'clock
Discussing what started the FIRE, Chief
Stanton said Tuesday night that there
was not one fire but three, on three sep
arate floors, and that he was perfectly
we'll satisfied they were all set On
every floor the FIRE was found practical
ly in the middle of the building and there
was no possibility. he declared that the
blaze had been communicated from one
20 the other. Deputy Taft told him that
he plainly sTnelled kerosene when he first
arrived at the building.
On the main floor Chief Stanton said
he found a pile of trousers among which
there was every evidence that the flre
had been set The same was found to
be the case on the upper floor and on the
basement floor after the fire in the cen
ter had been put out, another blaze was
found in corner Of the room in a paper
box filed with newspapers which was
under a pile Of cloth.
The chief stated that he had investi-
gated all the other sources of possible
cause of fire, such as the electric wiring
which he found intact, and had looked
for overheated irons, but had found none.
In view Of the very positive evidence
that he had found he was sure that
there had been deliberate attempt to
burn the building, and he had SO in
formed the owners, while he did not at
tempt to say who had set the fires
Il was impossible to say Tuesday night
what the loss might be. 1t will be prin-
cipafly from water through the sprinkler
system and from the use Of the chemi-
calls,
Among the several tenants in the
building are the Ideal Pants Co, the
Eastern Pants Co., and Barnet Davidson,
a. commission merchant in the clothing
line One new tenant whose name could
not be learned is said to have moved in
very recently.
Agent Dix, who rs here to deliver the
new American-La France aerial truck,
and has attended at least four fires while
| in the city had warm words of praise
Tuesday night for the effectiveness of
the Norwich fire department from what
he has seen Of its prompt and expert
work He has seen departments in all
parts of the country he said, and, in
| cities of all sizes, and he gives the palm
| to the Norwich firemen.
Agent Dix further said that he consid-
| cred the Norwich department got Won
derful cooperation from the telephone
exchange, and he thought the Norwich
system with the telephone people and tht
fire department working together so wei
was the best he had ever seen.

Association. In this pharmacy. about
fifty years ago, he first prepared cam
phor monobromide on a large scale.
specimens of which. prepared by him,
are now in the National Museum.
In 1874 DR.. Power graduated with
high honors from the Philadelphia
College Of Pharmacy and was award
ed by the alumni association the
highest prize for excellence In chem
istry. 1t was in this college that
DR.. Power formed a close friendship
with Henry s. Welcome. a classmate,
who later founded the Welcome
chemical research laboratories. In Lon
don, and appointed DR.. Power the di-
rector.
Deciding to study further in Ger
many, DR.. Power attended the Uni
versity of Strassburg. which, after
four years of study. conferred on him
the degree of Phi. D. Returning to the
United States In 1880, he took charge
of the chemical laboratory Of the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.
three years later being called to
professorship in the University or
Wisconsin. While there he served on
the committee which revised the
United States Pharmacopeia.
Probably the most important event
In his career was the establishment
by Mr.. Welcome Of his research labo-
ratories in London. Assuming the
position Of director. DR.. Power was
able to devote himself exclusively to
chemical research. assisted by large
STAFF of assistants. The results OF his
fruitful Investigations in plant chem
istry won the commendatfon OF vari-
GUS learned societies and leading sci
entific journals. He was elected
fe,low Of tho London Chemical So
ciety in 1896.
DR.. Power resigned as director OF
the welcome institution In the latter
mart Of 1914, as the outbreak OF the
great war had disrupted his research
work. He returned that year to this
country to be with his family. since
that time he has continued his re-
search work in the phytochemical labo-
ratory Of the Department OF Asricui-
ture.
As a recognition of his success In
~ tho research field many honors
have been conferred on him. In 1908
the University Of Wisconsin awarded
him the honorary degree Of doctor OF
laws. In 1918 the Chemical and the
Linnean societies and the Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great. Britain
Jointly conferred on him the Manbury
gold medal, which was followed by
the presentation of beautiful illu-
minated address and an album con-
tanning the autographs OF many SCI
entific men in various parts of the
world.
On retiring as director Of the Lon
don laboratories in 1914 DR.. Power
was awared a gold medal by Mr..
Welcome. This medal, bearing DIR.
Powers profile in relief and suitably

inscribed. in recognition Of his eigh-
teen and one-half years Of distin-
guished service to science, was pre-
sented to him at ceremonies last year
in the local Cosmos Club, at which
Mr.. Welcome was present DR..
Charles Walcott, secretary Of the
Smithsonian Institution, in addressing
the company OF notables then Assem-.
bled, said:
"Dr. Power for fifty years has spent
his thinking hours among the COM
plicated molecules of organic COM
pounds, and, because he possesses
that peculiar faculty Of exhausting
each subject which he takes up, has
had the greatest influence, both In
America and Great Britain, in rails
ing the standards Of our Pharmaco-
peia. He has gained distinction by
his most difficult and life-consuming
researches into chemical composition
Of plant compounds"
Honorary memberships In various
scientific societies and institutions
have been bestowed on him, together
with grand prizes, gold medals and
diplomas of honor from tho great
international exhibitions at which
products Of research by DR.. Power
were exhibited. He was awarded the
Ebert prize in 1877. 1892 ana 1905. and
was elected vice president Of the
United States Pharmacopeial Conven-
tion In 1920.
Recently President Harding ap-
pointed him . member Of the Na-
tional Research Council. to serve on
the committee Of federal rotations.
