Peri!S of the Gas.heater

Attention is being called by the
New York Times to the case of a
young husband and wife who were
asphyXiatcd recently in Yonkers, y.
y. Their deaths at first looked ike
a mysterious murder, for they showed
no signs of violence and their apart :
mcnt had not been robbed. Investi-
cation disclosed that they were vic
TINS of the products of cOmbuStIOn a
gas range and n gas heater having
been found still burning when the
neighbors broke into the fiat. Says
the paper just named:
Both OF these popular conveniences
were in good order, and there had
been no escape of gas in the ordinary
and familiar sense of that phrase. In
reality, OF course, there had been an
escape in great volume OF gas quite
as dangerous as is illuminating gas
in its unconSumed state. and this
peril is not understood. or at any rate
is ignored, by many people. including
no small fraction of the multitudes
who have now resortcd to gas-heat-
ers in their several forms.
important improvements have
been made in recent years on the old
fashioned gas log'-improvements in

coal savers they are to be commended
warmly. 1t should not be forgotten,
however. as the unfortunate Cohens
dd-if they ever knew-that in all
these devices there is potential
danger, and that they are not safe,
as too many people think. simply G.
cause they are we'll connected with
the source of gas supply. and no gas
comes out of them except When they
are burning.
1.-THE burning itself produces other
gases that are fatal to life if brcathed
IN quantities at all large. and the
quantities soon become large in any
room not well ventilated. Bathrooms
in cold weather are apt to be tightly
closed. and therefore none Of
the gas burning devices should be
used in them without intelligent pre-
cautions frequently to renew the air
and to permit the escape of the car
bon oxides.
"GaS-heaters should be connected
with a chimney. if possible. and the
best and safest of all positions for
them Is we'll within Il real fireplace.
The smaller ones. if in a big room
with doors and windows not too well
sealed. are not likely to do immedi-
atelN serious harm in any case. but

There was raised by taxation in
1922 ($637,000 valuation at six mills)
$3,S22.000. One half of this is ST.
oil 900, the part raised from taxable
farm property. This is fifteen per
cent of $293,957.oS In other words.
the farms contribute fifty per cent
of the amount spent by legislative
appropriation and receive back for
all agricultural purposes. fifteen per
cent. This does not seem to me to
be the correct proportion of returns
on the amounts raised.
The tillable and pasture land raised
in Maine alone is equal in acreage
to nearly one-half the total area of
the rest of the New England states
1t is sad commentary that Maine
has to import so much food, which
with a proper system of marketing
could be distributed throughout the
state with a saving in transportation
and other hauling charges.
Other Speakers in Favor
w. II. Conant Of Buckfield. member
OF the council of the experiment, said
that Governor Baxter in his inaugural
address stated that Maine is an agri-
cultural State. He said that it seems
'rat IL ought TO be plain to all that the
experiment station is fundamental for
upbuildin- and maintaining our agri-
culture. and that it had been a disap-
pointment to him to see the station
gradually wither up and get into a con-
di ion to be blown away.
Representative William T. Gardiner
said that he was convinced that too
Sinal p"oportionate expenditures go for
the expenses of.agriculture, and he re-
ferred to expenses Of ether State de-
partments as compared with agricul.
ture. taking into consideration that
Maine Is an agricultural State. Rep
resentative Gardeners father, Robert
n: Gardiner. was formerly a member
OF the Experiment Station Council.
e. H. Libby. secretary Of the Maine
STATE Grange, pointed out that the
orange recommends standing by the
experiment station. He expressed the
opinion that criticism against the sta
tlon comes in cases where people are
mlsinrormed. The farmers cannot
MAKE the experiments alone and in one
evening at home farmer can sit down

Under present arrangements no
state funds are available for travel
or for other expenses for CARRYING OF
investigation work in different parts
OF the State other than at the two
farms. The appropriation for High
moor Farm must be expended in
connection with the work done on the
farm, the same is true for Aroostook
Farm. and the animal husbandry ap-
preparation must be expended for
this work alone. AS before stated
the Adams Fund can only be used
Tor the promotion of agricultural re-
search and is mostly applied to pay
ing salaries OF those carrying on in
vestlgatlon work. The Hatch fund
was primarily intended for CARRYING
on Investigations but it is also the
only source upon which we can draw
Tor general overhead expenses, or for
travel and other expenses in connec-
