Take Measures
To Prevent Scarlet
Fever in Fairfield

A consultation was held Tuesday
afternoon by the local health officer,
DR.. Gousse, Supt. of Schools Edward
A. Simoneau, Charles H. Park, a men,
Der OF the school committee, and DR..
6. II. Coombs, who has charge of the
contagious disease division Of the
State department Of health.
II. is evident that the continued
presence of scarlet fever in this town
is due to the failure of the heads Of
families to report to the local health
officer the mild cases of this disease.
The control of this situation de-
Ponds supon finding those who have
been III and those who are now i'll
and those who are carriers and who
have not been i'll.
The health department suggests that
every child in the schools be again ex-
amined for traces of scarlet fever. as
was done by the local health officer in
the spring.
In addition to this investigation it
fs suggested that every case of alb
senteeism for illness be reported to the
local health officer by the teacher.
No child that has been absent be-
cause of Illness will be allowed to re-
turn to school unless they have a GER
tlncate OF recovery and freedom of
contagion from their family physician
Blanks for this purpose will be sup
piled by the local health officer.
Similar outbreaks in the State have
been controlled by these measures and
it is believed that with the coopera-
ton of the parents of the children
that the outbreak will soon be over. a
result that has been secured in SINH
lar conditions in other places.
An official of the State department
of health will assist in a preliminary
examination of all the children.
Let us emphasize that it is the duty
of the heads of families, as well as
the Doctors duty. to report every case
Of suspected contagious disease to the
local health officer
Willful cases of neglect to report
by heads of families have recently
been brought before the courts for
neglect but it is hoped that this will
not be necessary in Fairfield.

The tomato is a most obug1ng
plant for it will grow almost any
where so far as soil Is concerned,
shine. 1t will thrive in stubborn
clay soils as we'll as light, sandy
soils if only a little care to see that
lit has moisture in times of drought
Is taken. The tomato wants a fly
ing start to give full returns for the
the space it occupies and it is i'm
portant to take considerable pains
with the newly set plants.
The care will be well repaid a lit
tie later. Shade the plants from
hot sun until they take hold, see that
they are we'll watered and that the
soil is well fortified. They need hot
sun and abundant moisture to fur
nish ideal conditions for heavy
crop.
The tomato is bothered with a
, few pests although many gardeners
are lucky enough to avoid any
trouble. The huge, ferocious- looking
green tomato worms which strip the
branches in short order are likely
to appear and an equal hideous rela l.
tive, the tobacco worm, darker green
~ SO4OlI SOlIISIlIlISS appears on the
tomato. An arsenate of lead spray
will abolish these customers in
short order. 1t is best to give it
when the plants are small and re-
peat 1t at intervals of two weeks.
A combination fungicide and insec-
ticide is ideal as it will kill both
the willis or other fungus pests as
Well as the worms"
Set stakes firmly in the ground
before setting out the tomato
plants. Give them at least three
feet OF stake, five is much better,
and train to a single stem along the
stake allowing not more than two
main side branches in the most
robust growing types.
1t is not necessary to plant toma-
toes in late June if 1t is desired to
have the crop continue until frost
as the earlier planted varieties will
pass their bearing season by mid
September when the later ones will
come in with full crops. The fruit
ripens much more evenly when
trained to stakes.

Thanksgiving is some distance
away from the Fourth of July but
it is a good plan for the gardener
to give it a thought and save some
Of the money that usually goes to
the grocery for brussels sprouts for
fall festival menus. This is one of
the most consistently expensive
vegetables that comes to market. 1t
was never known to be cheap and
it can be raised as readily in any
home garden as cabbage.
Seed sown in June or July will
Der and this vegetable needs the
touch of frost to be in its prime
| The brussels sprout is a brother Of
the cabbage, but instead of growing
up to one head, he carries numer-
Gus progeny along the main stalk
in the shape of mild and finely
favored small cabbage heads, which
are the Sprouts" The stalk is
crowned with four or five large cab
bage-like leaves. AS these form and
wither and fall, a sprout or min
iature head appears in the axil of
the leaf and the collection along
the Stalks snow Where leaves nave
formed and faded during the grow
ing season.
The brussels sprout needs exactly
the same culture as a cabbage, and
a rich, sweet soil with plenty of
moisture to do its best. A half
dozen plants in the garden carefully
tended will repay the attention this
fall. The taller the sprout can be
-, induced to grow and the more leaves
it can form and lose before reaching
! its full height, the more sprouts
will cluster along the stem.
! One of the main drawbacks to the
brussels sprout is that as it comes
to market it is infested, in too many
cases. with green plant lice or aphis,
and is a great nuisance to clean
and prepare for the table. Soaking
in salt water disloges the plant lice
and simplifies this job but in the
home garden they can be abolished
! with tobacco sprays during their
( growth and clean sprouts can be
4 harvested. This factor, when prop
erly understood, will go far towards
popularizing them as home vege-
table.
The brussels sprout, like others
Of the cabbage tribe, is Danish
speciality and Danish is a good type.

Late Started Vegetables

Vegetables have one great advan-
tage over flowers for the home gar
den. There need not be so great
rush to get them going as most
or the Towering ANIMALS require a
longer growing season than vege-
tables to produce adequate results.
With few exceptions, the common
garden vegetables can be planted
as late as July and harvest very
satisfactory crop. The exceptions
are the very early crops, such as
spinach and lettuce and the early
ra'dishes which spin up to seed in
not weather without tarrying to
produce the desired crops. Peas
also are merely a gambling chance
for the late garden, the gambling
oelns on a. cool summer as peas do
not stand hot weather.
But string beans, lima beans, car
rots, beets, sweet corn, tomatoes,
peppers, elephants, turnips, kohl
rabis, cabbage and caulifiower all
may be planted with an assurance
OF an abundant fall garden. The
care or the late-started garden will
require a little extra effort to see
that the soil does not dry out when
the young plants are getting start
ed, a precaution much less necessary
IN the wetter, cooler spring months.
Inc main work is keeping the soil
stirred frequently. never allowing it
TO cake or crust, thus preserving
the moisture by retarding evapora-
ton.
1t Is we'll to do little extra fer
tlllzlng in midsummer by digging in
a quick fertilizer like pulverized
sheep manure, a garden standby in
these days Of the automobile when
staple manure is becoming q. more
