HARTFORD COUNTY
 LEADS THEM ALL
Phone, Auto, Running Water All
 Necessary to Farmers

What formerly were regarded as luxuries. now are necessities on the farm, and Hartford county is the best agricultural county in all Of Connecticut, according 10 Benja- min l. Southwick. Hartford county farm agent. who spoke at q meet ing of the Kiwanis club at the Bur- rift hotel at noon today. Mir. South wick stated that the agricultural products Of this county even with the tobacco raising clement re- moved. would exceed any country in southern New England, He add cd also that this county is the greatest tobacco raising county in the United States.
 Some Of the reasons why this is a good agricultural county were cited hy the speaker. The country has 375,ooo people, more than the entire state Of Vermont. Ii is cen trally located. has the state capital and is accessible by means Of good roads to the markets of New York Boston and Providence.
 The income of the people in the towns and cities is not dependent upon any single industry and there is little danger of any serious ef- feet of slump. The county has more workable, level land than any county in southern New England Of the 9 towns and cities in the county. only one cannot be reached by state roads.
 The school facilities Of the coun. ty, including two state normal schools and two state trade schools, are among the best.
 According to Mir. Southwick it is an exceptional farmer today who does not have telephone. modern plumbing equipment with bath rooms and running water in his home, and the automobile to the farmer is a necessity.
 He quoted some statistics to show that Hartford county has 23 per cent of all the farm population of the state; 20 per cent of all the farms; 2S per cent of all the good roads; produces 26 per cent of the value or farm products raised in the state; 45 per cent Of the state ex- penditure for farm labor goes to Hartford county; GO per cent of the value Of farm products sold comes to Hartford county.
 
 He told of the work of the county agent, the county farm bureau and others connected with the depart ment.

674.12 short Of the total OF the proceed
ing year, according to the annual re-

Bureau collected 331o, O33.S5 last year,

1,O|)OCARS RUSHED
TO SAVE BIC CROPS.
Wheat Pihng Up Along
Tracks in West as Situa-
ton Grows Acute.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, July 16.-With
thousands OF bushels OF the $780,
000, 900 Kansas wheat crop piled IN
the open because of. lack Of trans
portation facilities, railroads are
rushing trains OF empty box cars into
the grain belt in an effort to prevent
damage from sun and rain.
/. Harvesting OF the bumper crop has
exhausted storage facilities and as
the piles \of wheat increased along
the railroad right Of ways farmers and
ba mixers found the situation acute.
Demands for cars deluged railroad
offices. already taxed by movement OF
grain from other States.
1000 Cars En- Route.
Reinforced with extra crews, rail.
road officiaIs concentrated on speed
ing the unloading Of wheat mt termi-
nails and prompt disDatching OF cars
to the production centers. More than
!. 900 empty cars were reported to
have passed through here yesterday
en- route to Central>and Southwestern
State points, while hundreds Of cars
are converging on the wheat centers
from other terminals.
Attention was focused on the situ.
alton yesterday when farmers ct Sub
lette, in southwestern Kansas. re-
ported more than 100000 bushels OF
wheat piled along the tracks. Rain,
they said, would cause the grain TO
heat when placed in an elevator.
necessitating constant handling until
1t dried.
Movement Started Earlier.
Movement of the Kansas crop started
earlier than usual this year, railroad
officials say, because Of more gen
eral use of combine harvesters. These
machines cut and thresh the grain
in one operation. When binders are
used, they explained, the bundles are
placed in shocks and often stand for
weeks before being threshed.
Gov. Paulen said yesterday that AL
though Kansas farmers had a
bumper wheat crop O large portion
of the money received probably would
be used In liquidation Of obligations
incurred in less prosperous years.
This. he said. accounted In q way
for the haste to market the crop
while prices were Arm.
