Egg Laying Contest at storrs

For some reason or other Barred
 Rocks in the laying contest at Storrs seem to have the edge on the other breeds, for the last four weeks pen of this breed owned by H. B. Dennl- son from East Lansing, Mich, has finished at the top. In the eighteenth week of the contest this pen was again at the top with production of 59 eggs Twice during the past week this pen made perfect daily tallles and hens No. 155, 157 and 159 all made perfect weekly scores by laying seven eggs each. Two other pens, ot Barred Rocks entered by w. H. B. Kent of Cazenovia, N. Y., and Pur- due University at Lafayette, Ind, tied for second place with 53 eggs each. George Phillips pen of White Leghorns from New Haven, Conn.,, Woodbridge Orchards pen of Wyan- dottes from Woodbridge, Conn.,, and F. H. Sampson's pen of Reds from Springfield, Mass, all tied for third place. with 50 eggs each. "A pen ot White Rocks from Dover, Mass, R. l. Reds from Grafton, Mass, and White Leghorns from Wallingford, Conn.,, tied for fourth place with 48 eggs each. .s4 ..t .e
 The total yield for all pens was 3829 or yield of nearly 55 per cent. This was 266 eggs more than the expected production computed on records accumulated for period of years. The birds have started the month of March with total margin ! to date of more than 5000 eggs over the average yield for this season o1 the year. Of course this ''velvet'

Keeps Feeder Pigs at Home
 Until Finished for SlauRh

A cooperative live stock shipping association in Indiana helps to keep feeder pigs at home instead of send ing them to market when they are offered by members for shipment. This feature of cooperative work has been called to the attention of the United States Department of Agri- culture, which thinks the idea a good one. Farmers who desire feeder pigs inform the manager of their wants, and when pigs of the feeder type are brought in on shipping day all but a few head are kept at home until finished for slaughtering. Only enough are sent to market to deter mine the prevailing market price. Those retained are sold to farmers desiring them at the Buffalo market price less transportation and market ing cost, the usual costs assessed against those animals going to mar ket.

Lightning Protection Means

To Be Standardized
 THere are practical methods, prac- tices, and appliances for protecting buildings against lightning, but be- cause of interruptions agents who a score or more years ago succeeded in selling equipment that did not pro tect, all methods and equipment came into disrepute among farmers and others. In order to put the mark of official and scientific sanction on lightning protection methods, there was recently appointed, through the collaboration of the Bureau of Standards, the Weather Bureau, and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, a committee to prepare a code. Progress already has been made in the solution of this problem and many well-established principles have been made known to interested scientists and workers. It is hoped that the work of this committee will result in developing practical meth ods, practices, and appliances and make farm buildings and other structures safer.

Tree seeds vary greatly in the amount of time they take before they sprout. Seeds of the Kentucky coffee tree must lie in the ground at least two years before their hard coats are sufficiently softened to e allow the sprout to escape, while cottonwood seeds die within few hours if they do not fall on favorable soil.

Tribute and Tax.

Tribute is money, commodity of value or service rendered by one ruler or state to another in token of sub- mission. while taxes are financial bur dens imposed by a state upon It's own subjects, In early times there was not this distinction, for, under the feudal system especially, taxation, tribute and rent were often identical.

Picric Acid Available

For Eastern Farmers
 In connection with the distribution of picric acid for land clearing now being carried on by the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, about 300,000 pounds of the material has been made available at Edgewood, Md, where it had been stored by the Army to be used in the manufac- ture of poison gases. The compara- lively low freight rates that will apply to this point are expected to make the offering of this supply very attractive to landowners of the northeastern section of the country The only charge made for the picric acid, which is shipped only in car load lots, is that to- cover drying cartridging, and shipping.

Eighteen Foot Bridges the
 Rule on Federal-Aid Roads


 Few highway bridges with width of roadway less than IS feet are now being constructed on improved roads, according to engineers of the Bu- reau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agricv lt@..re. In the past some of 12 feet and a good many of 16-foot width have been constructed in an effort to economize but it has proved short sighted ecohomy. Only one line of traffic can pass over 12 foot road way and 16 feet of width will not accommodate two lines in safety. Many of the States such as Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Massa- chusetts have found it advisable in replacing old bridges on important roads to make them wide enough to accommodate three and four lines of traffic. .s.# I

Seed corn grown in Connecticut is of unusually high quality this year, according to J. s. Owens, crop specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College. Mir. Owens urges that only high yielding varieties be selected for planting.
 It is pointed out that seed corn entered in competition at the Win ter Exposition in Hartford in ,Janu ary, tested from 95 to 100 per cent in germination. This is considered an unusual showing.
 Experimental data at both Storrs and New Haven experiment. stations indicate that varieties should be carefully selected, as differences of nearly 30 bushels to the acre have been noted in variety tests. It is contended that corn varieties which will not quite mature in thls climate before frost, VII give best results for silage. ..... ..
 Connecticut holds another world'2 record. This time it is COW, Eau vic's Star, owned by A V Barnes of New Canaan, that has brought the Nutmeg State into prominence by breaking all world records for milk production for the Jersey breed,
 In one year Fauvic's Star yproduc~ ed 2O,616 pounds of milk. The best previous record for the Jersey breed was by Passport, a New York COW, and was for 19,695 pounds of milk.
 The new record is attested to by the dairy department of Connecticut Agricultural College, which superin- tended the years test. The figures have been checked by dairy experts in neighboring states and found correct. The test closed February 24. ~e Sat .-- sssiis
 This record furnished another good illustration of the assertion that .blood will tell''. The sire of this COW was Fauvic's Prince, first prize mature bull at the National Dairy Show in 1920. Eighteen daughters of this bull averaged more than $50 pounds of butterfat at two years old.
 While this establishes new milk record, her production of 1005.s pounds of butterfat lacks but 35 pounds of being a worlds fat record for the same breed. It is, in fact, a butterfat record for all breeds so far as Connecticut is concerned.
 Fauvic's Star had an average fat percentage of 4.88. k

Launch Movement to ObSerUe Centennial
 Of Use of Steamboat
ByAssOoiatsd Press

n
 Atlanta, Juno 4.-A state-wtde movement to devise preliminary plans for a great exposition in prin- eipal Georgia cities in 1928 to cele- brate the centennial of the beginning of steam navigation on the ocean in Savannah has been launched, accord ing to an announcement Sunday by Secretary of State s. c. McLendon.
 The United States, foreign govern ments and every state in the union will be invited to participate in the exposition, 1t was stated. A meeting of several hundred Georgians, fnclud- ing city and state officials, will be called at an early date to perfect plans for the celebration.
 During the past few years sugges- tions have been made that an expost- tion be held in Atlanta in 1926. Re- gently, Secretary McLendon proposed the maritime exposition to be held in Savannah, and at 8 conference of of- ficiais of both cities 1t was decided to unite and make the celebration statewide. One part of the exposi- ton, largely industrial and commer- cial, will be held in Atlanta, accord Ing 10 planS. Another part WAtSA will include maritime features, will be held in Savannah. The third will be held in other principal cities of the state. each working to obtain part of the exposition representing products of It's particular section.
 The Savannah" built in Savan- nah and under command of Capt William Scarboro, made the first ocean trip of a steamship. going to Liverpool and other foreign points in 1919.
