 banks and under the pretext that he
 wanted 10 flash a big roll, would ask
 Tor s50 or slOO worth of s1 bills, it
 is said. He would not take them un-
 less they were new ones.
 Ii is believed that his activity was
 brought to light by Policeman Thomas
 Feeucy. who has been trailing him,
 end watching every move and trans action he engaged in for about three weeks. The bills that were spurious bills that have been circulated in New Britain were Of si0 denomination, and the police were not able 10 say if they were produced at the same plant. The police refused 10 state whether Feency's investigation reveal cd any connection between Wrinkle and the local commercials, which were or q sl0 denomination.
 Cianhonc seen With Wrinkle
 C1annones connection with the counte rfpiters has not been revealed as yet. but he is thought to have been active in the circulating of the coun- terreit money. When in New Britain the other day, he was in company with Wrinkle nearly all the time, ex- ceptine for a while during the after | Loon when he went to a theater with | his wife. who accompanied him here. l He was trailed from here to the Bay { port house. It is thought that he car l ned the bills collected by Wrinkle to . Long Island where they were raised.
 E.F another Connecticut man arrested in New York in connection with the case. His movements while in Hart ford have been under the constant surveillance of County Detective Ed ward Hickey for several weeks. He lives at 54 Main street in that city.

 A copy of the note reaching he senate just as it was con- 1ening caused a decided stir among senators. It was passed around and talked over in many whispered consultations. The effect on the pending legislation 'ould not be immediately as- ;essed,

DELAWARE SOIL TEST SHOWS
GAIN FOR FERTILIZER

The Delaware Experiment Station
has, just published the results OF a
15-year soil test with fertilizers,
which will be of rather wide
interest.
The soil on which this test was
conducted is called Sassafras silt
loan and is generally regarded as a
good soil. There are many thons-
ands OF acres of it in Delaware,
Maryland, and New Jersey.
On this soil it is rather surprising
to find that potash was the most
effective fertilizing material, phos-
phoric acid being second, and
nitrogen third. 1t should be stated,
however, that the crops grown
were corn, oats, soybeans, wheat,
and hay. With truck crops or
fruits the results would probably
have been different. When acid
phosphate>was applied in addition to
muriate Of potash, the profits in
creased and were still greater where
complete fertilizer was used
The value of lime on this soil
A
was found to be questionable. The
hest results with lime were secured
ON the plots that also received
potash, either alone or in COM
bination with other fertilizing
materials.
Acid phosphate alone increased
the Yields Of corn, soybeans, and
nay only slightly and gave but q
fye-bushel increase in the yield Of
wheat, while potash alone Increased
the corn yield by 13 bushels, and
where both lime and potash were
applied the yield Of corn was In
creased by &c bushels over the I'M
treated land. IS
Where complete fertilizer and
lime were used, the average yields
were corn SO.8 bushels, soybeans
2S.3 bushels, wheat 29.S bushels,
and, hay 5O66 pounds per acre.
without fertilizer but with lime. the
Yields were corn 43.1 bushels, soy
beans 1873 bushels. wheat 1913
bushels, and hay 2977 pounds per
acre. In other words, fertilizer
fully doubled the total yields.
