SALISBURY MERCHANTS
ASK NEW PARKING RULES

AS a measure to speed up traffic
on Main street in Salisbury and at
the same time afford more conven-
fence for out-of-town shoppers
there, Salisbury merchants have
this week requested the mayor and
City Council to put into effect 10
minute parking limit with parallel
parking.
Experience has proven that the
two-hour parking limit, previously
in effect, has led to unnecessary
congestion of the Main street and
has not given. the out-of-town shop
per an opportunity to find a space
to stop long enough to make small
purchases and accumulate packages.
Another new feature is the offer
of the merchants to furnish free
parking for their shoppers. Many
of the larger stores are now pre-
pared to take care of the out-of-
town shoppers car if it is driven to
their store and the request that it
be parked is made.

Grand Championship. Last year
half-brother, Oxford Wexford Noble,
won the purple, and for three con-
secutive years, 1922, 1928 and 1924,
FERNS Wexford Noble, the sire of
Rochelle, was invincible.
Rochelle is an exceptional exam
pie of Jersey type, carrying plenty
of scale and being very straight
over the back. His style, masculin-
ity, and refinement, made him a
very popular grand champion. Pro-
duction records figure prominently
in his pedigree. His dam, Rochettes
Princess, has a record of 933 lbs. of
butterfat and his sire's dam was
formerly the highest record import
ed COW with record of 95S lbs. of
butterfat. Breeders will now await
with interest the development of his
progeny, for with such an Inherit
ance much will be expected.

CEDAR CHESTS PROTECT
AGAINST MOTHS

Experiments conducted by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture have demonstrated the value
of chests made of red cedar, (Juni-
perus virginiana). However, to be
effective these chests must contain
in the body proper at least 20 per
cent of three-quarter inch red-cedar
lumber The attention of the public
is called to the fact that chests
made of neutral woods lined with a
red-cedar veneer are not genuine
red-cedar chests and can not be de-
pended upon to kill clothes moths.
Experiments have proved that
clothes moths can develop from the
egg, through the worm or larval
stage, to the adult moth in chests
lined with red-cedar veneer. They
can not do this in genuine red-cedar
chests that are in good condition.

Farrell feel justly proud Of her ac-

Segunda las she is called, is quite
a large COW, and breeders at the
ringside unanimously pronounced
her as one of the greatest examples
of type ever seen in the Jersey

was also the sire of the COW winning
