WILL HELP FARMERS TO
 HAVE CERTIFIED FLOCK

A letter is being sent out to the mem-
 bers of the home egg laying contest and
 adult poultry clubs from the farm bu-- reau office, calling attention to the plan
 which has been in operation for the last
 two or three years whereby owners of
 poultry f1ockS may have them certified
 fer production and for freedom from
 white diarrhoea provided records have
 been kept during the past year. fProfes- sor R. E. Jones, the poultry specialist
 at the college, is anxious that all appii- cations for this sort of work be Tn as soon as possible So that definite plans can be made for taking care of the large number of men who are bound to what this sort of work. From the amount of poultry kept in New London county, there should be a number of men who would be interested in this sort of work.
 The plan briefly is this: Professor Jones will handle all of the birds in anyones flock on which records have been kept during the past year and will select a pen of breeders which he feels sure have averaged during the past year to produce eggs 160 eggs or more per hen. The breeding flock should also be tested for white diarrhoea so that any one who has this work done can adver- tise eggs for setting purposes kanofheT spring from a certified flock, certified both fer production and for freedom Sfrorn white diarrhoea. The nominal charge is made for this sort of work simply to cover actual expenses. s5 is charged for the farm visit and 1c per bird for cerificatioE and Sc per bird fol testing for white diarrhoea.

 ther information for those who want 1t

PROHIBITION OFFICERS TO
 WATCH CONNECTICUT FORTS

Liquor smuggling is at it's height now, it seems, for during the summer the rum runners appear to work best, which. fact has led prohibition enforcement agents to become moro active in their search for the liquor craft that are said to be work ing New London, Bridgeport, New Haven and other ports in the state. It is known that Long Island sound has become the home of the liquor traffic, so the officers are on the alert
 James L. McGovern of Bridgeport, col lector of customs, Assistant United States Attorney George H. Cohen of Hartford. officers of the prohibition navy" and prohibition enforcement men held con- ference in New London last week for the purpose of making more effective the blockade of ports in this state. Liquor laden boats outside the three-mile limit transfer the intoxicants to smaller craft, which carry the stuff to the shore.
 The officers have discovered such cases and they are determined to curb the practice. The famous Jennie T. which was seized in the act of discharging 8 l:quor cargo. is one case while the Will liam C. Bickei, which was libeled We'd nesday by the United States government on the charge of transporting liquor worth more than S25,0O0 from the sIoop Grace and Edna to New London, Is an- other The Bickel is seagoing tug and is said to be worth more than 40,000. The libels carry probable penalties of sl01 900 on three allegations, with the forfeit of the boat on two others. It is thought that powerful financial agents must be behind some of the smuggling when such an expensive tug is used in the smuggling. Private operators of small means would find it difficult to finance the shipment of the liquor until such a time as they received payment for it, it il thought.

He men toned a very kind act performed by the great Gladstone of England, who visited a dying friendless boy between the ses- sions of Parliament. and gave him fruit and little Testament The speaker urged all present to take the time and speak kind words and perform kind acts. for they mean much to those about us.

POTATO DEMONSTRATION PLOTS 4
 IN COUNTY SHOWING RESULTS

A number of potato demonstrations were established by the New London County Farm Bureau this past spring to determine the value of different sources of seed potatoes. Certified seed was se- cured from Maine, Vt, New York state and also second crop seed from New Jersey. In few of the demonstrations certified and northern grown sesd was also used beside the other lots of cer- tified seed bought from local dealers. It is interesting to note that the certified seed so far bought from men with a rep utation for putting out good seed is showing up in advance of everything else. Two lots of seed bought from To- cal dealers are showing up very poorly, while another lot bought from another local dealer is practically as good as the
 lots of certified seed bought direct from the growers themselves. It is too early to know yet what the results will be but the indications are a good deal as they were last year when certified seed bought direct from the growers of known rep utation outyielded everything else.
 An attempt is being made this year
