 Any variety of onion seed will pro. duce sets. but the seed from sets is worthless and should not be harvest ed as it will produce inferior onions.

should make it a point to keep some sort of. garden diary even if it is no more than marking dates on the calender. An ideal plan Is to make a diagram of the garden on suffici- ently large scale to permit of mo- tations of planting dates, maturing of crops and a record of mistakes and vegetables which did not thrive for one reason or another.
 Notes should be made as to wheth- CT the planting produced more than was needed or less, so that another season the quantity of the particular crop planted may be increased or de- creased to suit conditions.
 An experienced gardener knows fair ly well what he can expect but he usually makes few notes A new gardener will find that such record will be of the greatest help to him. It is also useful to note interplanting schemes and good garden wrinkles employed by ones neighbor.
 The plan should show where the perennial crops which are fixed quan- titles and located in the garden.

ion of a bee expert who recently ad- vised all members of bee clubs not to unpack hives before May l.
 There is an old axiom among bee keepers that winter packing should re- main about bee hives until man no longer needs a spring overcoat. This he says is safe rule to follow
 When bees are unpacked in the spring, many dead bees will be found on the bottom boards of the hive. This is natural, and these dead bees should be removed. If the winters casualties are not removed, the bees dispose of their own dead, dragging them out bodily, and tumbling them from the hive, This seriously taxes the strength of the bees and uses up ener- gy that might be expended in work which is another way of saying gath ering nectar.
 Winter casualties among bees are, as a rule quite high, frequently run ming to one quarter of the bees in the hive. It takes two or three healthy bees to dispose of a dead one, so that if bees are neglected in the spring the first thing they do is to put their house in order. A little calculation shows that 1t takes rretty nlarly the whole colony to carry out dead bSSo "tfflt IlAN SS etI . uIADeChtt dIlu DOS keepers do not take the trouble to clean them out.
 Another thing to remember when bees are opened is that the inside of the hive should be wiped out with a sofe cloth, so that it is perfectly clean and dry. This is another job the bees will attend to if neglected, which means more wasted energy.
 Empty combs which are damp or muddy should be placed out in the sun for two or three hours on warm day and then given to good strong colony.

 LACK OF JURISDICTION

Ruling lack of jurisdiction. Commits sioner J. J. Donohue has dismissed the workmen's compensation claim o2 Patrick J. Sullivan of ss Green street, New London. against the rivers. har- bors and bridges commission Of Con necticut and the General Navigation O.. of New London.
 Sullivan, who was a freight handler, was at work at the state pier at New London on November 1e, 1921. when he fell off a bridge with his freight truck and suffered a confusion of the left ankle. An H-ray picture taken the day after wards showed no swelling of the ankle and no bones out of place.
 Commissioner Donhue concludes his finding as follows:
 The evidence shows that the cotton which was being handled by Sullivan at the time of the injury was being taken off of a boat and placed on the dock. the boat, having come from some port In South America. The dock in question was at what is called the state pier in New London. From this fact It Is found that the claim does not come within the jurisdiction of the worllmen's com pensation of Connecticut
 Therefore. the claim is hereby dis allowed for lack of jurisdiction.

MATCHING YOUNG ONIONS FROM
 SETS

Young onions are a standby of all most every spring vegetable garden and there is just one way to get them early. That is to plant onion sets. While the seed onions are coming OH to give 8 later crop of young onions and through the thinning process to give the plants room to mature the big bulbs to be stored for winter, the set onions are coming along and fur nishing the tender young onions for the table.
 The onion set is made for the chief purpose of producing young onions. It is better not to try to grow big onions from sets, as the set has com pleted most of it's life work, although an abbreviated and arrested career. when it is put into the ground, and nine cases out of ten if not pulled and eaten in it's young and tender growth will shoot up to seed.
 Onion sets are merely prematurely matured onions of any type The crop is produced in this manner: The seed

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

perhaps your whole lawn is thin, and supports a good growth of weeds which seem to retard or crowd out the lawn grasses. h either case, there are two treatments which will prove efficacious. First, a liberal seeding with a good lawn grass mixture on the spots which are bare, or over the whole lawn if it is thin; and secondly, the application of a fertilizer which will promote good grass growth. Lack of available clements of plant food is often the cause of poor lawn.
 In reseedfng, it is essential to stir up the soil with rake and prepare a mellow yet firm seed bed. This can be done without injuring the grass to any appreciable extent. At this time it is a good plan to make the first application of fertilizer, which may consist of from to 15 pounds of pull verized manure plus an additional to pounds of bone meal or any oth- CT good grade of fertilizer for each 100- -square-foot area. Rake the fer tilizer into the ground. Then broad cast the seed, and rake it into the soil.
 To give the lawn further assistance top-dressing of about a pound to the square rod of high analysis fer tilizer after month or two when the seeding shows up nicely is recommen- ded.
 Later it will be advisable to use a fertiliz9r containing more nitrogen, since this is the element that promotes grass growth. Either sulphate of ann monia or nitrate of soda may be used at the rate of from one to three pounds per 100 square feet, or a larger quan- tity of a high grade fertilizer such as 4-8-6 or a 5-S-7. This treatment can be made as a top dressing. The next rain or sprinkling will wash the fertilizer into the soil.

 acres, but larger areas should be sprayed.
 Blight is something the early po- tato growers never had to worry about in this country. Chewing insects were the only pest which attadked po- tatoes, and farmers found that paris green, dusted on dry, was the cheap est and best method of getting rid of these insects.
 When blight appeared. the old dus- ting method had to be discarded. spraying with 5-5-50 Bordeaux, 80 to 100 gallons to the acre, with a poison added, was the method of control. La ter an equivalent of ths spray was used in the form of dust. Recent experiments Tn New York state indicate that dusting with cal cium lime dust gives practically tiA same control as spraying with 5-5-50 Bordeaux.

FAVoRs SPRAYING
 TO PREVENT BLIGHT

Should potatoes be dusted or spray ed? Potato growers must use sope means of arresting blight, and the question as to the method is some thing that has been studied with a view to fitting dusting or spraying to local conditions.
 Both dusting and spraying are good methods of controlling blight, but one expert leans toward the latter. Size of the area planted has something to do with the question. Hand dusting may be employed on areas up to three

New York. Jan. 27.--The event OF
the day in today's financial markets
was the rise in sterling exchange, in
the course of which the rate passed
last years highest mark OF S424 l-s
and at S425 IA, went beyond tina,
OF any day since the briefrecovery III
the last days of September, 1919
When one recalls that it sold at S3.S8
last July (when the Loudon devalua-
tionists were beginning to talk Of de-
grading the legal gold content OF the
sovereign so as TO meet the existing
foreign valuation of the paper pound
sterling) the change in the situation
is manifest. ...
1t has been consequence, partly
of the past seasons great reduction
in Europe's surplus OF imports from
America and elsewhere, partly OF
England's continuous redemption OF
its governments foreign loans and
partly of the unprecedentedly large
gold shipments to America.
Price Movement UninterestinE.
Movement of prices on the stock ex-
change was again OF very little interest !
1t was tie meaningless ebb and flow
which usually follows the ending of
concerted manipulation. The only infer
ence OF any value which can be drawn
from the present market is that the at

they were anxiocs to sell on every pos
sible occasion.

but the Victory loan held at the high

Details Obscure. ....
Announcement of the loan and taxa

ment had no visible influence on the
value Of the mark The details of the
plan are in fact left obscure by the
meager eabled summary.
The first result which any intelligent
person might have predicted was the ex-
ceedingly violent depreciation of the
mark the second result was Germanys
decara ton that whsther its government
could or could not have met the payments
to the allies with the mark at its price
of a year ago. 1t could not meet them
when purchase of the requisite gold
credits was costing five or six times what

in fact, direct result Of the allied rep
