POULTRY RAIsERs TOLD
 ABOUT WESTERN METHODS

A very successful poultry meeting was held Monday evening at the office of the New London county farm and home bt1- reau when the Norwich Poultry club held their regular monthly meeting The men as usual reported on their records for the previous month, and this was fol- lowed by an instructive talk by R. E. Jones of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege, on the trip which he took to the Pa cific coast this past summer. Professor Jones used lantern slides to illustrate the many places of interest which he visited He presented pictures of one farm which was visited by the party where pen of birds were seen, all of which had trap nest records of over 300 eggs per bird The best bird in this pen produced 33e eggs this past year. On another farm a picture was seen of bfrd which produced l in two years 54S eggs. the best long dis tance record that is known. One of tho outstanding things about many of the western poultrymen is the large amount of trap nesting. They seem to be deter mined on securing high egg production and one farm on which 5000 birds were kept had an average egg production o 1 19S eggs per bird.
 The western poultrynan cannot pro duce eggs any cheaper than the easterl pouhryman. Grain, labor and practical ly all other items that enter into the cos of egg production are as high as they ar, in the east. Lumber is the one exception 1 in expense. A man can buy lumber fo putting up new houses much more cheap | ly than he can in this section. The pric l of eggs, on the other hand. would discour age the eastern poultryman. At one tim this summer eggs were selling at 2Sc fo extras and 1Se for bullets. The easter7 poultryman cannot remember any tim this summer when the price of eggs wen anywhere near this price, if he had a req
 sonably good market. At the time Pro
 lessor Jones was in that section eea were selling for extras 35c to 37c and a
 about that time they were brtlging in th
 east for the same quality and grade 60 per dozen.
 Two other outstanding factors enabl
 the western poYltrymen to get by on
 small margin of profit. and these tw
 factors can be duplicated by the easter
 poultrymen. Big business and high prc
 duction are the outstanding factors. Bi
 business by keeping instead of 300 to 70
 hens from 1000 to 5000 hens. And hig

CONNECTICUT GASOLINE CHEAPER
 EVEN WITH STATE TAX

EVEN WITH STATE TAX
 In his "whiriwind speaking tour'' Mr. Fitzgerald has seen fit to criticise the gasoline tax enacted by the last session of the general assembly. He criticises this tax and fnfers in his shrewdly adruit manner that if elected he would elimin- ate it. He does not give the people of the state any inkiing as to where he would replace the $600,000 6 year now received in this manner.
 For the edihcation of Mfr Fitzgerald and for the information of the people of tee state, the republican state central committee has made an Investigation of the price of gasoline in six adjacent states and the comparison in those states with Connecticut as to the cost of gaso- line is interesting.
 Gasoline was purchased in Connecticut with the one cent tax included, at cost | cheaper than that of New Hampshire Rhode Island, Pennsylvania. Massachu- | settes and Maine. The period of time con cerned in the analysis extended from January l, 1922, to October l, 1922, a matter of nine months. The average price for gasoline during this period 1T Connecticut was .2802 cents with the tax | included. The average price for the nine months period in New Hampshire was | .2900 cents in Massachusetts, 2S4t cents; in Rhode Island .2900 cents ir l Pennsylvania, .2940 cents; in Maine | .2S00 cents, and in New York PITT cents The price of gasoline in Connecticut a: compared with these states runs exactI, | sfx tenths of a cent gallon cheaper 1 throughout the entire period and thu state is benefited by over $500, ,e00 il taxes in the bargain.

OcToBER APPLE BLOSSOMS
 FROM CANTERBURY FARM

Ms William Davis of Elm Arch farm. Westminster, Canterbury, has sent. The Bulletin a spray of apple blossoms from 8 tree of the Maiden Blush variety.
 The tree has blossomed, Mrs. Davis says, twice a year for three consecutive years. The first year it blossomed an old crehard'st told her that it was a sign that the tree would die. but it is healthy and growing finely yet, and is now 6 CT years old. Mrs. Davis writes As apple blossom time is my favorite month in iiie year, you can well imagine I pay particular attention to that tree and visit it very frequently. It is cu- rious sight now to see the blossoms fall ing to the ground covered with petals than look off over the hills to see the leaves falling all around you, rain of autumn coloring. You know old Winter will soon be here and not even untimely apple blossoms can hold that old mon arch in check for long.
