Repair Now Trees Injured
 By November Ice Storm

The extensive injury and destruc- tion of trees of all kinds in New Eng land during the November ice storm has brought many inquiries to the United States Department of Agri- culture regarding the proper methods to be followed in repairing the damage done. The following sugges- tions are made by the Department.
 The first thing that should be done is to remove large broken branches that are now, or may become, a menace to life and property; this is unusually best done by cutting at the point where broken. Attention should then be given to injuries on the main trunk. If limbs have been split, or partially split, from the main trunk, all splintered wood about the wound should be removed with a sharp gouge and mallet, if not so situated that it can be sawed off. The scar should be smoothed in the manner indicated in Farmers Bulletin 1178, Tree Surgery, and treated as an open cavity, or as a large surface wound, as the case may necessitate.
 Attention should next be given to repairing the injuries on the larger branches in a similar manner, and

Winter Exposition in Hartford

The agricultural associations and societies of Connecticut will con- tinue their annual practice of uniting in a joint Winter Exposition to be held at the State Armory in Hart ford on January 25, 26, 27 and 28. Although the fair is of interest, pri- marily, to the agricultural people of Connecticut, it's appeal is by no means limited to the inhabitants of the rural or suburban districts. About 10000 persons attended the winter fair in 1921 and new features of this years exposition make it reasonable to believe that the at tendance will be largely increased.
 The tremendous size of the State Armory at Hartford makes it readily adaptable to the purposes for which 1t has been chosen. The floor com prises approximately 50,000 square feet or considerably more than an acre. This space has been divided into five sections and the first assign ed to poultry exhibits, the second to the Junior Achievement Bureau, the third to automobile trucks, the fourth to trades displays and the fifth to agriculture, state departments and institutions.
 The agencies cooperating in the agricultural section are the State Board of Agriculture, Agricultural College, Experiment Station, Poultry Association, Vegetable Growers Association, Sheep Breeders Asso- citation, Swine Growers Association, State Grange, the State Departments of Domestic Animals, Dairy and Food, Motor Vehicles, Highways, Police, Health, Fisheries and Game, Education, Parks, Child Welfare, Education for the Blind, Tuberculo- sis, Dairymen's Association, Pomolo- gical Society, Bee-Keepers' Associa- tion, Poultry Breeders Society, School for Boys, State Hospital at Middletown, the Mansfield State Training School and Hospital, Hu- mane Society, the Cattle Breeders Associations and the New England Tobacco Growers Association.
 The Junior Achievement Bureau section will comprise exhibits by the DOyo cAld SAIIo CIuD5 III SOuHSCIlCuL and neighboring states. Eight fife and drum corps are to compete for prizes ranging from $1O to $50. The band of the Boys School at Cheshire which played before the legislature at the last session will be a feature of the musical entertainment and the Boys Band from Warren, Mass. comprising one hundred pieces will furnish entertainment for an after noon and an evening.
 A special feature of the show this year will be the automobile truck sec tion. Owing to lack of space at the regular automobile show to come lat CT, it has been necessary to elimin- ate truck displays and several auto mobile concerns will take advantage of the Agricultural Exposition to show some of the latest types of auto trucks which are indispensable to the farmer.

later to the smaller branches. Some times when a limb is broken away, the tree is so weakened at the point of breakage that it may again break in a severe wind, and to obviate this the top must be pruned back more or less severely. In case of split crotchese, the advice given in Far mers' Bulletin 1178 should be fol- lowed regarding the general treat ment, including bolting through and above the crack.
 It is fortunate that the ice storm came when it did, rather than in March or April, for decay-producing germs grow but slowly during cold weather, consequently there is a longer period in which repair work can be done before warm weather arrives. In cases of estates where a great amount of injury has occurred, and only a comparatively small force is available for repairing the damage, the final cutting of long stubs can be conveniently left until early spring, but wounds or breaks on the main trunk, or close to it, should be attended to promptly, in any case before warm weather arrives.
 It is not necessary to fill cavities. It is better in most cases to leave them open. All final cuts should be immediately covered with some good antiseptic and waterproof paint. It will not be necessary to specially treat the ends of long stubs that are to be removed close to the trunk later in the season.
 In no part of repair work should

climbing spurs be used on q tree. Spur marks cause injuries through which it is possible for disease and decay germs to enter and cause damage, in some cases more severe than would have developed from tEe original simple break. For details of treatment of all scars and wounds send for copy of Farmers Bulletin 1178, which can be obtained free from the Division of Publications, Department of Agriculture, Washing ton, D. c.
 Remember that prevention is better than cure. The open wound of today becomes the decayed spot of next year and the deep rotten cavity of 10 years from now. It is better to spend few days or dollars in careful repair work now than hundreds of dollars for extensive tree surgery in 1880.

(Prepared by the United States Department

 Potatoes require 90 to 100 days after planting before any will be ready for use. The tubers are not fully matured until after the vines die, or at least ripen and shed most of their foliage. Late potatoes in the Northern and Northeastern states are frequently caught by frost before the vines ripen, so should be dug just about the time frost first strikes them. Potatoes should be dug when the soil Is reason ably dry, so that 1t will not adhere to

them. A spading fork or potato hook is best for digging them and great care should be taken to avoid spearing or cutting them in digging. Only small quantity should be turned out at once, as they will become sunburned if ex- posed more than all hour or two.
 Store potatoes ill a cool, dry place where they will get plenty of ventila- ton and be in the dark. Potatoes must not be allowed to freeze either before they are dug or while i'll storage. A good, cool, wcIl-yentlatcd cellar or storm cellar forms a suitable storage place for potatoes and under proper conditions will keep through the win ter and into the early summer An other method is to bury the potatoes in a pit outdoors and cover them so that frost cannot get to them.
