 An old man stood at the corner of Main and Prospect streets. sadly reading a letter, just given to him by a passing postman, when there came along an inauiring traveller from distant city.
 What is this beautiful building across the street, that resembles Grants Tomb? It is mausoleum of some great Bristol citizen or per- haps memorial to . war hero?'
 No" replied the old man, sadly folding his tax bill, that ss,0oo classic is simply a councils tomb for city taxes"
 Committee Rejects Bids
 All bids for the erection of the new East Bristol school have been rejected by the building committee of the Fifth School district as bs. ing too high. according to state- ments, emanating from the commit tee today. The committee referred the bids to Architect Harold A. Hay- den and also requested the architect to make some alterations in the plans.
 The original plan of the district was to erect a schoolhouse to cost about $90,000 but some change will probably be necessary, committes members think, in the building plans, because of rising costs of construction.
 Shower for Miss Rawlings
 Miss Mabel Rawlings, teacher in Grade I in the Forestville school. was given a surprise shower Thurs day evening at the home of Miss Helen Bowen of Woodland street, Bristol, all the teachers of the school being present. Miss Rawlings was presented with many beautiful and useful gifts.

Stable Manure Valuable
Fertilizer for Rhubarb

Rhubarb is the strongest feeder of
all vegetables. Stable manure, espe-
cially COW manure, is valuable because
it supplies the humus, conserves mois-
ture and furnishes plant food. In
tensive and successful growers use
from % to 40 tons or more per acre.
Manure is probably most effective
when applied in the early fall, al
though spring dressings are often
made by successful growers. During
thu early spring this manure is supple
n.ented at from two to three-Week in
tervals with heavy applications Of nj
trate of soda. This is to force the leaf
growth and to produce large stems.
Where the manure cannot be OBJ
tanned in such large quantities, COM
mercial fertilizer containing 4 to q
per cent of nitrogen, 8 per cent OF
phosphoric acid and from 6 to s per
cent of potash, should be applied at
the rate Of 1000 to 1000 pounds per
acre, depending on the character OF
the soil. This application of fertilizer
Is supplemented by applications Of
nitrate of soda at intervals of four to
six weeks.

Many of the noxious weeds have

USE ICE BOX CORN TO
COMBAT COLD SPRING

Wisconsin farmers are indebted to
ETY. Of corn.
Over In OzauRee county In 1928 there
were two cornfields side by side. There
was q frost early in June and as a
result one Of the fields of corn was
frozen badly while the other was I'M
injured. The difference between the
fields lies in the influence of an Ice
box.
About ten years ago B. d. Leith,
agronomist at the Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture, set out to breed
hardy variety of corn which would
be suitable for silage production in
central and northern Wisconsin. Selec-
lions were made from Golden Glow
for earliness of maturity, large stalk
and medium-Sized ear. The seed was
placed in an ice box at 45 degrees
Fahrenheit for four to six weeks.
The ears whose kernels grew best
were used in planting and from these
ears the same selection was again
made. AS result of this selection
we now have variety of corn which
will mature in northern Wisconsin
and which is more productive in this
area than any other strain. This cold
resistant Golden Glow natures from
one to three weeks earlier than any
other variety.
After the variety had been well
established cooperative tests were run
among farmers in connection with the
Wisconsin Experiment association. The
Marinette county school Of agricul-
ture later bought the entire crop of
one farmer in the northern part of
that county and sent the seed out to
the boys and girls in their club work.
The variety has now been we'll es-
tablished all through the state.
The yield of silage in 1924 was from
20 to so per cent over that obtained
from two other varieties of corn grown
at the same time and under the same
conditions at the station farm at the
wisconsin College of Agriculture. Ac-
cording to Leith it excels not only
In yield of stalk but also in yield of
ears.
Mr.. Axes, Of Carson county, South
Dakota, filled a 10 ton silo from IA
acres of cold-resistant Golden Glow
in 1923. The average height of the
corn was ten feet. 1T is the best
corn / have ever raised and the best
corn / have seen west of the Missis-
sippi river. and until something bet
ter shows up, it is the corn 1 am go
ing to raise from VOW on declares
Mr.. Axes.
During the last few years the Da-
kotas and Canada have been heavy
purchasers Of this corn, which was
grown in Wisconsin fields. Farm
ers in the southern part of the state
may also profit by its use in years
when the corn planting time il de

Seed Poultry Yards for
Prevention of Diseases

Success with chicks depends large
ly upon the condition of their runs.
The most effective prevention and con-
troll of diseases and parasites trans
mitted through the soil, is to provide
a heavy growth of vegetation which
will clean up the soil. This applies
particularly to coccidiosis, intestinal
worms, and tuberculosis.
Alsike, blue grass, and timothy or
vetch and rye are very satisfactory
seed mixtures for broOder runs and
poultry yards. A generous application
of lime will aid in the growth of vege-
tation and cleansing the soil. Seeding
the yards in this way not only over
comes the disease contamination of
the soil, but provides an abundance
of green feed in the yards which is so
essential for the chicks in the spring"
The brooder houses should be moved
so rhe ground occupied by chicks this
year can be seeded now. They should
be placed on new ground each spring
and the following year they may be
returned to the ground on which they,
now stand.

Reduce Danger of Bloat
bv Careful Management

While there is always danger from
bloat when cattle are on alfalfa or
clover pasture, this danger can be very
much reduced by careful management.
The danger Of alfalfa Is perhaps no
greater than that of clover.
When cows are turned on clover or
alfalfa pasture the first time, they
should not be turned on 1t until all the
dew is dried off. The cattle should be
we'll fed before they are put onto the
clover or alfalfa. Leave them on the
pasture for a short time the first day
and then each day they can be left q
little longer until they have become
used to it after which they should
be left on the pasture all the time.
both day and night.
Until they have become used to the
pasture they should be closely watched
so that If any should bloat they can be
treated before 1t is too late.

of Agricuture)
In a report on live stock improve
ment under the better-sires plan just
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, California re-
ceives mention among the states no.
ticeably active in such work. The
principal other states, mostly In the
central west and east, are: Kentucky,
Ohio, Nebraska, Vermont, South Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, New York and Penn
sylvania.
Live stock owners who place their
breeding operations on basis which
includes the exclusive use Of pure
bred sires receive a suitable sign for
their premises and helpful literature
on animal breeding.
During the early part Of the year
live stock owners in the following
California counties qualified for par
ticipation in the work: Los Angeles,
Orange, Sonoma and Ventura.
The activity Of the Golden State in
this means of live stock improvement
is due chiefly to the interest and en-
ergy Of county extension agents In the
counties mentioned. The work Is OF
an educational nature and involves no
expense aside from that incident to
the purchase or use OF pure bred sires,
which the department urges "A the In
terest of improved domestic live stock.
Experience shows that good breeding
results In numerous benefits and
greatly increased financial returns.

Destructive Gypsy
Moth Being Checked
Spread of Insects Occurs
When They Are Young.

The gypsy moth has proved such q
destructive insect in New England
and New York that the New York
State Conservation commission, In CO
operation with the federal government.
has established barrier zone in an
attempt to stop the westward spread OF
the pest. In spite of the fact that
this moth Is a winged insect, 1t does
not occupy new territory through Its
power of flight. On account OF the
extreme weight of their bodies the To-
males are unable to fly.
The spread of the moth occurs when
the young caterpillarS are first
Matched from the eggs. The cater
pillars have long hairs growing out OF
their bodies. These hairs, it is thought,
together with the silk which the cater
pillars spin, help to buoy them from
a half mile to five miles from their
starting place.
Last year, in order to learn about the
winds which caused this gradual
spread of the caterpillar aeronauts,
1000 hydrogen-flled toy balloons were
sent up by the commission. Each bal
loon bore a numbered tag requesting
the finder to return it with record
of the time and place where 1t was
found. Over 400 Of these tags were
thus recovered by the end of the sea
son. They were found practically
throughout southern New England, q
snumber being picked up on both the
eastern and southern coasts. One bal
loon was found off Yarmouth cape,
Nova Scotia, proving a drift Of about
400 miles in eighteen hours. Seven
covered distances of ITO to 145 miles.
One drifted IS miles at the rate OF
100 miles an hour Another remained
in the air six and quarter houIs

lease, evidently carried back by a
