"A representative will be in the
county on june 10 to inspect fields Of
wheat and any oats far enough adj
vanced. The advantage Of this in
,spaction and approval IS that the own
er gets free advertising through the
Corn Growers Association. A large
quantity of seed was sold through this
free service last year, and that at q
considerable premium. For example,
Mr.. Riehl, of Potosi, had approved
Virginia soy beans listed at $3.50. A
report from about month ago stated
that he had sold out all Of his seed
and had received orders for more than
$50 bushels which he could not fill.
Further explanation Of this seed
certifcation work will be taken up at
the six community meetings next
week. This will be in connection with
the lantern slides, as announced in an
other article.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKEr

Chicago. Oct. 4.-Reports indicating progress toward peaceful settlement with the Turks tended today to ease the wheat market here. Prices closed ur1- settled at 7sc net decline to 1Ac gain, with December J.06 to 1.06h and May 1.08 to 1.0S1s. Corn lost 1s to Pc, oats finished 1sC down to a shade advance, and provisions unchanged to a rise of 2kc.
 At the outset, wheat values here had an upward slant as a result of higher quotations at Liverpool, but dispatches asserting that the armistice conference at Mudania had reached ap agreement and that protocol was about to be signed led to something of Q setback. This setback was partly overcome later as result of export buying at the Gulf of Mexico and because of closing of spreads here between the December and May deliveries.
 Gossip was current that 500, 900 bushels Of No. 2 hard winter wheat had been taken today for shipment to Europe from ports on the Gulf of Mexico, and that as high as 15c a bushel over Chicago December delivery was paid 1c to Pc more than was obtainable yesterday. Meanwhile, hedges here were being trans ferred, December being bought and simul- taneously the May delivery being sold. At the end of the day, the only month showing an advance was March in which the amount of business done was very small.
 Corn and oats were governed chiefly by the action of wheat, cash demand for corn, however, continued brisk and of- ferings to arrive were light
 Packers buying steadied the provision market. offsetting the effect of lower hog values.

COUNTY DIVORCE RATE
 SECOND IN THE STATE


 Figures recently made public in con- nection with divorces in the state of Connecticut present satisfactory evidence of decline in the divorce rate from the peak reached two years ago. and these figures also present the outstanding fact that in proportion to population marital disagreementS are far more frequent In the centers of population than in the more rural counties of the state.
 The falling off this year being 257, while the decrease from 1920 to 1921 was only 106 The number of divorees granted in the state in the year ending in July, 1922. was 1,125, of which I'll decrees were to women and 354 to men. The record a year ago was 1882 diyorces of which 969 were to women and 413 to men. Connecticut still grants many more divorces year than it used to for there was 50 per cent. gain in the number of decrees in the year 1919 to 1920.
 The greatest decrease Is noted in Hartford and New Haven counties, Hart ford falling off to 74 and New Haven 16s. Fairfield fell off only 10 and now leads the state in number of decrees granted. New London county has five fewer cases. Windham A fewer, Middle sex 10 fewer, Litchfield shows a gain of 22 cases and Holland three.
 In Fairfield county there were seven complaints dismissed, in New London l county II, A1iddlesex two and Windham one.
 Fairfield county containing Bridgeport 1 Is well ahead with total of 376 divorces granted from July, 1921, to July, 1922 l Not only does Fairfield lead in totals but 1 also in proportion to population, being 1.22 cases per thousand of the population Next in proportionate oreer comes New London with total of 86,- or S2 of tho population, the third being New Haver 1 county. with a total of .317, or 76 pel thousand, In connection with the fig ures for New Haven county 1t should b, l pointed out that the county contains twt large cities, New Haven and Water 1 bury, deerees being granted in both 0 1 these cities Deerees granted in Nev Haven city total 243, representing . pro l portion of Is per thousand, and thes figures place the city of New Haven i the unenviable position of leading tn i the state In the proportionate number Q
