No one appeared to either approve
or disapprove of the proposed budget
for Atlantic County for the coming
year. The budget amounts to $2,129,-
527 so, and the Freeholders advertised
a hearing for Saturday afternoon last.
The resolution was introduced by
Chairman Robert Willis of the finance
committee and passed. The total
amount to be raised by taxation for
the operating of the county, and its
contribution to various state assess
ments during 1926, is $1,59S,954, as

Explanation of
New Rabbit Law

The department of inland fisheries
and game is receiving many inquiries
at the present time regarding the
rabbit law as amended by the last
Legislature.
1t is now close season on rabbits In
Androscoggin, Sagadahoc and York
counties, although under the law, as
amended by the 1925 Legislature, 1T
is open season in the remaining
counties, viz. Aroostook. Cumberland,
Franklin, Hancock. Kennebec. Knox,
Lincoln, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscata-
quis, Somerset, Washington and Wal
do, in territory open to hunting, I'M
til the last day of March.
1t will be noted by the law that
during the respective close seasons it
shall be unlawful for any person to
hunt, kill, catch, pursue, or have any
rabbits, or parts thereof in possess
sion, except alive; therefore, at the
present time residents of Androscog-
gin, Sagadahoc and Waldo counties
cannot hunt and kill rabbits in the
other counties where hunting is legal
and transport such rabbits to An
droscoggin, Sagadahoc or York coun-
ties. although If taken alive they
could be so transported.

So called, about four miles to its

way at point approximately 400
feet easterly of the steel bridge at
Bartletts Mill, in the town of Kenne-
bunk.
1t is understood that the Automo-
bile association and other strong in
terests will support the change in
the location of the road in order to
do away with the many curves on
the present road from the underpass
to the Murtagh stands, a short dis
lance from Bartletts Mill. II the
change is not made as contemplated
it will probably be necessary to re-
build the old road and for this rea-
son many are said to be in favor of
the straight road being rebuilt in
preference to the present road.

Calls Attention to
Forest Protection
Laws for the Towns

Hon. Neil l.. Violette, state forest
commissioner, in communication
sent out Monday to members of
boards of selectmen. says that with
the approach of the forest fire season,
he wishes to renew the annual offer
of cooperation, and to call their
attention to certain facts relating to
forest fire projection in their town.
These facts are noted on Pages
50. to 63 of the 1925 Forest Manual,
a copy Of which is being sent you
under separate cover" continues
Commissioner Violette in his COM
munication.
"This manual contains on Pages
81 and So the forest fire laws APP
plicable to your town, on Pages Ga to
81 list of watchmen outside of the
Maine Forestry District appointed
by this office, and a list of deputies
appointed by selectmen in 1925. We
are also sending a book containing
permits to burn brush and BURBERRY
lands.
1.-The present law provides that the
selectmen of towns shall be forest
fire wardens therein, and authorizes
them to appoint one or more persons
to act as deputy forest fire wardens.
Since the selectmen are ordinarily
too busy to give the forest fire pro-
blem the attention it, deserves, I
believe that it will :, in most cases,
be desirable for you to take advan-
tage of this authority to appoint
deputies. These deputies might well
be supervised and the work of fire
protection throughout the town CO.
ordinated by one of the selectmen,
especially designated to handle the
forest fire situation.
please let me know the name and
address of this selectman in case
he is SO designated, and also the
names and addresses of all deputies
whom you may appoint.
I'm conclusion, let me express my
appreciation of the interest which
has been shown by the municipal
officers ~f organized towns generally
in handling the forest fire situation,
and to repeat my assurance that the
department is ready to render any
assistance in its power"

Kansas Starts a 3
Filter Family Contest

Lawrence, Kans.. Mar IS "a. P.)-
A new social classification. based
not upon blue ancestral blood but
upon the red blood of the living, is
possibility of the not remote future.
That was the thought in the mind
of DR.. Florence Sherbon, of the Uni
sity of Kansas faculty, when she
launched a new venture six years
ago at the Kansas Free Fair at
Topeka-a Filter Families" contest
The time may come" Doctor
Sherbon said, when the family not
possessing a eugenic certificate will
be looked upon askance by the
certified family"
Thus was born an idea that has
since been adopted by six other
states and by the National Eugenics
Society. In the last six years 523
persons. comprising 1876 families have
been examined a participants in
the Filter Families Contest in the
Kansas Free Fair.
The purpose of the eugenics con-
tests, Doctor Sherbon points out,
is first to arouse family pride in be-
ing well-born and to spread inform
alton concerning heredity and con-
conduct.

Hay Principal
New England Crop

Wakefield, Mass, March Is ca. P.)
Grass still has the call on New
England farms. In spite of the mil
lions made in other crops it is hay
that continues to form the backbone
of New England agriculture.
The extent to which the farms of
this section are grass covered is
strikingly shown in figures compiled
by the New England Crop Reporting
Service. OF the 4,377,306 acres I'M
der cultivation in the major crops
in New England in 1925 hay was
grown on 3,556,00O acres or 1917 per
cent.
Next to hay but far behind in the
amount of land devoted to its rails
ing came oats with $4,000 acres.
Corn was grown on 240,720 acres and
potatoes ON 10000 acres.
These four leading field crops are
grown extensively in all the New
England states. Except in Maine
and Connecticut hay is by far the
most valuable of the four. In the
five years from 1920 to 1924 inclu-
sive the potato crop was slightly
ahead of hay in value in Maine, the
great potato state, and last year it
was worth nearly four timse as
much. In the same five-year period
tobacco was considerably ahead of
hay in Connecticut but in 1925 it
dropped behind it.
In the New England states as a
whole hay Is usually far ahead of
