TIM FL Y FAR M TOPICS
 by the County Agricultural Agent

Last year many apples were sold as second grade on account of black sooty fungus growth on them. This was due to a fungus growth, which had plenty of freedom in the wet weather and thick trees. However it can be controlled to large extent by applying late July spray.
 The spray should be made up of 12 l-2 pounds cf dry mix and l l-2 pounds of arsenate of lead in fifty gallons of water This spray will con- trol fruit spot, sooty fungus, apple maggot. codling moth and leaf skele- tonizers. The spray should be ap- piled in the last week cf July or the first week in August.
 Apply your spray material and get a better price for your apples.
 Now is the time Co see how poor your pastures really are. On prac- tically every farm milk production has decreased and if we look for the reason We find it is because the pas lures are getting short of feed.
 This can be overcome by getting ready to mix up those pastures for another year. Pastures like other land will run down if not fertilized. Pas ture experiments at Storrs Agricul- tural experiment station have shown that the most economical treatment is a topdressing of one ton of ground limestone and 500 pounds of super phosphate. No blowing is necessary. This treatment can be applied at any time of the year although fall treat ment is recommended because of more time at that time of the year to do odd jobs.
 If ycu are doubtful of the results either take a trip to Storrs or try an acre on your own pasture and see for yourself.

 County Agent.

 To Protect Bricks
 Representing the Connecticut Brick Manufacturers Association. c. w. King, Hartford, appeared before the earthenware subcommittee of the Sen ate finance committee in regard to the tariff rate of SIPS per thousand on bricks as written into the tariff revis- ion bill by the House.
 Mir. King urged that adequate pro- tection be given brick, attributing the declining of the brick industry in Com necticut to the foreign importations, even though it is only one-half of one per cent of the domestic seaboard pro- duction.
 Senator Edge. chairman of the sub committee, during the hearing pointed out that there has been steady de- cline of brick importations during the past three years. and wanted to know why. Witnesses had no explanation for this other than to explain that do- mestic production has declined cores pondingly.
 Mclean Greatly Missed
 While tariff making is in process in Washington these days, numerous comments may be heard on Capitol l Hill on how the absence of Senator George P. Mclean is more apparent than it has been since the Senator re- ! tired last year.
 When the Fordney- MeCumber tariff was written in 1922, the presence of l Senator Mclean was very much felt, according to old-timers who like to re- member the fight that accompanied the enactment of that measure.

MOSCOW, September 2l.-The Rus
sian plane Land of the Soviets was
reported by the Soviet News Agency
Tass, to have landed early this morning
on Attu Island. the extreme West OF
American territory in the Aleutian
Islands.
The agency reported that the plane
left Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, en-
route to New York last night and
covered the $50 miles to Attu Island
by way of Bering Strait at an average
speed of 1l2 miles an hour. A violent
storm ragged while the flight was in
progress.
Dutch Harbor Next Stop.
The next stop planned is at Dutch
Harbor. CUnalaska), whence the plane
will proceed to Seward, Sitka and Seat
tie. The crew of the plane consists Of
pilot S. A. Shestakov; second pilot,
P. E. Bolotov; navigator, S. V. Ster-
1ingov, and mechanic, D. V. Fufaey.
The Russian airmen ploughed through
thick banks of hail, rain, snow and
fog, on their flight across the Boring
Straits, the only favorable factor being
that 1t was almost constant daylight
enabling the flyers to proceed on a di-
rect line.
Natives of Island Flee.
The great chain of the Aleutian
Islands was sighted after the flyers were
five hours out and Comdr. Shestakov
decided to land on Attu Island. Ac-
cordiH% to brief wireless dispatches
from TIA plane, the natives of he
island at first fled when they saw tie
big machine in the sky lowering over
the island, but later returned to their
dwellings when the plane descended.
Upon being treasured that the unex-
pected Russian visitors were not hos
tile, the natives welcomed the airmen
heartily and placed all their slender
resources and supply of food at their
disposal.
After resting here for a day or two
and printing their machine for the ad-
ditional 3,500-odd miles which still face
them, the four flyers will proceed over
the rest of the Aleutian islands and
head for Sitka.
