FARMS IN NEW ENGLAND


 Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, in ono dK his publications. recounts a motoring trip he made through New England last summer and does much to dissipate the view pretty generally held in the west that farms in this tier of states are most ly abandoned"
 The senator writes that he didn't find any at all. He passed by thou sands of agricultural plants and found the buildings and equipment comparing more than favorably with those in the middle west. He made allowance for the difference in ob- jectives. for differences in the aver age plots cultivated and the lack of great wheat farms in New England. But he found farms, and plenty of them. and If there was . greater proportion of truck and fruit farms hereabouts than in his native state, that did not detract from the fact that the farms were being cultivated.
 To look upon New England as de- funct axriculturally is . mistake which the senator easily proved to his own satisfaction. Al for New Englanders themselves, they have known all along that the country side does not look particularly and in the summer time the offerings of fruit and produce along the highways are too many rather than not enough.

New t is with ''minsisA smstions'
 that readsnts oe this paradise ea
 sylvan beauties realise that the
 railroaA is abandoaed. Passenger tramc between Hsrtferd and Muler- toa and points between is turned over to buses. The milk trains, it \ assumed. will continue to wend their way parallel to the fence posts aleng the right of way. Perhaps now and then another freight train will keep the rust of the rails: but the the most part the great railroad ad- venture Of 57 years aso has been . failure in 1898.
 The year 1871. when the line was opened, is not 70 far in the rear for many . memory to turn back to the settlements of those times Many railroads had been built, and the ad- vantages to the towns enjoying this marvellous means of transportation was conceded on every hand. Pro- motors of new lines were never out Of sight. Stock was sold to trusting individuals by the bucketfull. Build ing new railroads was the 'sure thing of the period: nobody could lose," pers1aded the promoters.
 In those days the worst fate for a town was to be ''off . railroad" Nobody paused to consider that towns and cities had grown to fair proportions even before railroads were invented: the outlook was changed to one that without . rail- road no town could continue to progress, and the town not linked with other hustling communities with rails was bound to pass into oblivion. Thus 1t was common. in building railroads. to turn and squirm to the right and left, espe- cially taking care to tap" those towns which were most adventurous in providing security purchasers.
 At a later time trolley lines were built somewhat on the same plan the trolley between New Britain and Meriden, for instance, which instead of going direct takes in" numerous other towns to the west of the logi- cal route before making an east bound dive to Mertden.
 The tendency today is for more direct travel. The buses have no diff ficulty at all in beating the rail- roads and trolley lines that gyrate as they so. The buses take the short est highway between any two points: and of course, they can give better and quicker service if the owners operating them do not also happen to own trolley lines and railroads and are willing to permit them to do their best.

AN AUDITORIUM FOR HARTFORD

New Britain, which mas oIs' cussed" the possibilities of possess ing | public auditorium for many years-and is as close to having one as when the discussion started-is more than mildly interested in the good fortune of Hartford. which Is ,o obtain such a public asset with out the expenditure of discussion or money.
 That means, of course, that Hart ford is to get the auditorium as a gift. That Is the easiest and best way to obtain such things, relieving a city of certain necessary and oner- ous details; and certainly does not increase the precious tax rate.
 The auditorium-to-b in Hartford will be q gift of Mrs. Appleton Hill yer, in memory of the Rev. Dr. Horace Bushnell, her father. Mrs. uilyet set aside the tidy sum Of S3,0o0, 900 for the project, of which s1,50e,00 will be expended upon tho erection of the building at Trinity street and Capit Il avenue. AS work will be begun in a few the auditorium will be com- pleted in about a year and a half.
 Hartford then will not need to look with envy upon the good for tune of Springfield. which built one of the finest public saitoriums in New England. For years Hartford has had reason to boast of its prog res and prosperity; and 1t certainly has been more prosperous than Springfield. Yet all the progress and prosperity 1t could muster did not provide an auditorium-any more than it does in New Britain. It would seem that something more than material affluence is needed to obtain such things.
 ! The man in whose honor the Hartford auditorium will be named was one of those rare personages that bring honor and real progress to q community, and this irrespect- i've of the bank balances. He was pastor of the North Congregational church in Hartford from 1853 to 1859. It h said of him that he "fostered every influence which tended to the improvement of the minds, habits, manners and prin- ciples, as well as the surroundings, of the people," It was he who advo- cated setting aside the land around the state capitol for park, and despite the opposition of conner cial interests his aggressive cam- paign ovcrcame all opponents of the plan. The park later was named in his -.honor.
 : The daughter of this citizen of Hartford shows that practical public service remains a watchword in the family. The city is entitled to con- gratulations upon it's coming good fortune, and also upon numbering the public-spirited donor among it's citizenship.
 New Britain also has been aided in it's development by public-spirited pfilanthropjsts, who saw further aficld than the slow plodding civic fathers. That is how the city acquir- ed Walnut Hill park; how it is ac- quiring. in the years to come, inc Afix W. Stanley property for park purposes: and how quasi public in- stitutions obtained equipment Of distinctive value as community as- sets.
 The same story has been told of innumerable other cities. Not hing succeeds like public gifts.

ANTELOPE MAN DOESN'T
LIKE WIDE SLEIGH IDEA

Antelope, Mont,
January 20, 1928.
To The Producers News:
The sleigh law is now in effect but
how can it be enforced? Who will
hang the bell on the cat? the mouse
said Tin congress).
That law, called Bill No. So, is for
helping out and to break auto roads.
But If man with a team and a load
of grain met an auto shall that auto
have full road or half? Who is to
be ditched? If that law is to favor
town automobiles because the farm
horses are to break the roads with
these extra wide sleighs, then have
our honorable men representing Sher-
idan county failed to work for the
farmers as they claim to do.
How many will go to town, of the
farmers, if that law was enforced &?
All holiday shopping would be undone.
II that law is to be enforced, there
Will not be room enough in Plenty
wood for all the arrested farmers be-
cause the will rather go to Jail than
to pay fine. And the cor imple-
ment dealers are in it too.
Such laws demoralize the reonle
and it is deplorable indeed.
L shall not argue ANYMORE but LET
the farmers think for themselves of
the injustice they get from failed
farmers and corrupt politicians, who
nave very good luck to be lawmakers
In order to settle some dispute
among the farmers l shall let YOU
