Rough Estimate Shown
Certified Spud Seed

Three years ago or in 1923 I was
interested in the planting of better
seed by the county agent, says A.

project leader in Somerset county.

Quimby of Cambridge and planted
a seed plot that year. Although ]
did not have a chance for a good
comparison. when digging time came
around, I found that the certified
or improved seed yielded 112 bar
rels to the acre, while my old seed
only yielded between 20 and so bar
rels. The next year I planted all i'm
proved seed from my plot, and again
had a seed plot of one acre planted

year they yielded better than 12O
barrels to the acre. I have a seed
plot again this year of an acre,

Der unit is that each seed is cut and
dropped separately, then a skip LEFT
and another seed planted. In this
way all the plants from one seed
are located side by side. If one or
two or more of the plants from one
seed are diseased and the others do
not show any disease, they are re-
moved just the same. In other
words all the plants from one seed
are removed regardless of the num-

Fifteen hundred cows tested for
tuberculosis in Kennebec County
and not a single diseased animal
found is the record thus far mace
by those herd owners who have their
cows tested under the voluntary &C
credited herd plan by paid veteri-
narians this year.
These cattle are located in the fol-
lowing towns, 1877 cows in Fayette'
1O4 in Litchfield, Ill in Manchester,
164 in Monmouth, pa in Readfield,
osS in Sidney, 139 in Windsor, and
1852 in winthrop. Most of these cat
tie have been tested at least three
times and the very small percentage
of disease which was at first found
has been weeded out.
i.Tbe testing has been done by the
local Farm Bureau and the Exten-
sion Service working in harmony
with the veterinarians in the coun-
ty. The local dairy leaders have
xlade q survey of their communities
to find out who wish to have their
cows tested and have notified the
county agent who has arranged with
someone to do the work. The lead
ing veterinarians in the county are
making a special price of one dol
lar per herd plus twenty-five cents
per cow where one hundred or more
cows are to be tested at once. Thus
far this year all the paid testing has
been done by Drs. F. j. Russell l.

MRS. CREED, SIDNEY
: PIONEER POULTRY
ACCOUNT WORKER

To Mrs. Dorcas R. Greed, OF Sid
new. belongs the honor of having
enrolled the first cooperators in the
poultry account campaign which Is
now being conducted by the Extern
sion Service and the Farm Bureau
in Kennebec County. The campaign
began with a series of Conferences
on August 26th. and Mrs. Greed had
signed up - poultry owners to keep
accounts and returned the cards to
the Farm Bureau office before cards
had been received from any other
community except Albion.
The object of the campaign is to
stimulate interest in keeping poul-
try accounts in order that poultry
men may change from "guess SO"
to know so'' and have firm
foundation of knowledge of facts
upon which to base changes in their
methods of management Wherever
necessary to make more money.
The Extension Service will furnish
an account book free of cost to every
poultry owner who asks for it and
will try to keep an account In II
through the year. The book gives
an opportunity to take an inventory
at the beginning and again at the
end OF the year, and to record all
expenditures and receipts through
the year. When the book Is closed
it will show the average production
per bird and the average labor IN
come per bird for the year.
The Extension Service will go fur
ther than that and supply at stated
intervals the persons keeping &C
counts with up-to-date information
about the poultry business and espe-
cially with information as to meth
DDS which accounts kept in the past
have proven most profitable.
At the annual meeting last Octo-
Der the Kennebec County Farm Bu-
reau voted to conduct the poultry
account campaign this fall, and at
the community planning meetings in
the winter most of the Farm Bureau
locals Endorsed the movement.
Late in August these conferences
Of local poultry leaders and farm
management leaders were called by
the county agent to formulate and
adopt plans for reaching every poul-
try keeper during the campaign. In
case a community had no poultry
leader or farm management leader
one was appointed by the COM
munfty chairman.

Accredited Herd Work was nrst
made a part of the Extension pro-
gram in the county in 1922. Ar
rangements were then made by the
Extension Service and the Farm Bu-
reau with the State and Federal De-
partments of Agriculture to give test
free of cost to the cattle of farmers
in the county who wished the WORK
done. The Departments furnlsheo
the tester and the tuberculin free OF
charge and the local dairy leaders
found out who wanted their COWS
tested, and arranged with someone
for carrying the tester about and
notifying the cattle owners when he
wa7 coming. Usually the charge fol-
this service was ten or fifteen cents
per COW, although a few public
spirited leaders did it without
charge.
In 1922, 95S herds containing COOS
cows were tested under this plan,
and in 1923, 1887 herds with 9l2l
cows were tested. Since it is the
policy of the Department of Agri-
culture to give only two free tests
where no reactors are found it be-
came necessary to hire a regular
practicing veterinarian to do the
work in a great many cases in 1874

unit Is the only safe way for a man
to keep his seed up. You can not

roguing out the diseased hill a num-
Der of times each year, fairly accu-
rate control can be secured of the
disease. If the rest of the remain

strain can be gradually bettered.
The picture gives an idea of the way
1t Is sometimes necessary to remove

have been removed from three rows

and have kept a potato cost account
for number of years. They show
just what every item costs, ETC., and
every farmer in real business
should keep accounts.

ty Farm Bureau at the present time.
Mr.. Cheviott originally moved here

and a total Of 800 herds with 1881
cows were tested this year.
The test work proved that there
was very little tuberculosis among
cattle in the county when testing
began, and has now lowered that
small percentage until less than one
out of every two hundred cows IN
the county arc diseased.
One of the by-products OF the
work in the county as well as IN the
rest of the State has been the in
creased demand for milking COWS
by farmers in southern New Eng
land, who are shifting their bust
ness from New York and Vermont
to Maine because of the low per-
centage of disease. The number OF
COWS sold from Maine on the Brigh-
ton market for mixers is increasing
by about a thousand year accord
ing to reports by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Other towns where the farmers
will test this year are Benton, Gin
ton, Winslow, Vassalboro. China,
Augusta, Belgrade. Oakland, Pitts
ton, Mt. Vernon, Wayne, and West
Gardiner.

were served which were attended by
326 men, women and children. The

1t would be hard indeed to tell
whether the flock of capons was not

is a very old procedure as it was
practiced hundreds of years ago in
European countries. Last year in

profit made per capon over what

Attorney Casale Talks on "Doublc
 Jeopardy" - Inauguration Cerc- . mony Heard on Radio.

There is nothing in the constitu- ton of the state of Connecticut which prevents man from being sentenced twice for the same crime. according to Attorney S.. Gerard Casale. who spoke to the New Britain Kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel today on Double Jeopardy"
 MT. Casale referred specifically to the Volstead act and quoted Gov ernor Smith of New York, who said that a man violating the 18th amendment or the Volstead act could be prosecuted by the federal laws and then the state officials could prosecute him all over again.
 If man Is punished under one law, he is punished sufficiently and we have no right to punish him again for the same offense." he said.
 Portions of the inaugural cere- mony at Washington were heard on n radio outfit. Entertainment was furnished by "The Serenaders." :" The attendance prize was won by Dr. T. r. Feeney. T. K. McAllister of Springfield told some interesting things about the Springfield kiwanis club.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 LISTEN ID ADDRESS
Radio Set Installed in Central
 Junior High

If George Washington our first president, had been told that chill dren would ever sit in Connecticut schoolhouse and listen to the inaug- ural address of one of his successors, he would undoubtedly have thought that he was talking with a person of far less vcracity than he himself was reputed to be. Yet 500 pupils of the Central junior high school filled the auditorium of that building to over flowing this noon and did that very thing.
 A five-tube receiving set was in stalled in the auditorium by H. c. Dumont, woodworking instructor at the school, but outside assistance was called in because the reception was weak. A local radio man came to the rescue and, after installing new tubes. restored the set to perfect or der, much to the relief of the chil, dren, who had been growing uneasy.
 The children grew restless as the program failed to come clear as the set was put in order, but every few minutes someone would start a "Sh" which would be taken up by the whole assembly and then all would lapse into quietude. That they could not be blamed for this, which was partially due to late start at Washington, was evidenced by the announcement over the radio that the crowd in front of the Capitol steps was also restless. When the program finally began and the set was in order, all were quiet and at tentive, no reprimanding by the teachers being necessary except a finger placed to the lips here and there once in while. Pupils and teachers alike were interested in the program and thrilled by the knowl- edge that they were listening to the first inaugural address ever broad cast.
 The crowd of 75,000 which was on hand in Washington was dwarfed into insignificance by the large au- dience which heard the ceremonies by radio. Twenty-one stations re- layed the program all over the coun- try. The reception was fairly good, but there was considerable fading. Static was almost missing. although the 1 o'clock whistles created a spurious sort. The site of the in- auguration, the preparations, and the ceremonies were explained from a station located on the capitol steps and the Marine band furnished a concert. The listeners were informed that the senate and house of repre- sentatives were filing 10 their seats Soon came the strains of Hail to the Chief" and then Chief Justice Taft speaking in a voice which carried re- markedly well over the radio, ad- ministered the oath. President Cool idge's speech was none too plain al first, but as he warmed up his voice became louder and more distinct, his address being punctuated frequently by bursts of applause.
