 Body Found in Shack

South Manchester, Oct. IT Pl- State police are Investigating the possibility of foul play in connection with the mysterious death Of Fred erick Drake, 51, Mapping farm hand. Drake was found dead be- side his bed in an old diIapitated shack near his unoccupied house this morning by his wife.
 Mrs. Drake is 45 years old. She had not been living with her hus- band for three weeks and only last week started divorce proceedings against her husband,
 Medical Examiner H. J. Andcr- donk for South Windsor at first cE- pressed the opinion that Drake died from Q combination Of alcoholism and foul play when he first viewed the body, but after questioning the excited wife for nearly an hour an- nounced that he did not believe she was connected with the affair. He was then inclined to believe that death resulted from natural causes. Nevertheless, there was evidence Of a drunken brawl in the shack.
 Everything was in disorder and there were numerous large cuts on Drake's head.

then is wiped off with a piece of

Henna color and bright green are

Since moisture is the enemy oi
1ronwork, and since it cannot under
ordinary climatic conditions be
avoided, paint or varnish protection
is necessary. The film supplied by
either paint or varnish forms a thin
waterproof coat, no more than a few
thousandths of an inch thick, but
nevertheless effective for its pur-
pose. Special metal printing paints
are available to be used for the
first coat. An ordinary house paint
or a coat of clear spar varnish can
be used for the finishing coat. For
painting interior ironwork, such as
stair rails, grilles, hardware, ETC.,
only one coat of fiat black, followed
by finishing coat of clear varnish
is necessary-unless, of course, the
antique finish is desired, when the
varnish coat may be eliminated.
Before painting, every bit of rust
must be removed. A stiff wire brush
will serve for this purpose. Dirt and
grease too must be wiped off with a
little turpentine.

LESS CARS BEING BOUGHT
ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN

The prevailing belief that great
er percentage of motorists are buy
ing their cars on the installment
plan is disproved by statistics fur
nished by finance companies, accord
ing to a survey of the American Mo-
torists' Association, A. M. A., Ma
tional body of the Delaware Auto
mobile Association.
Credit sales of new cars last year
were 10 per cent smaller than in
1926" the association declares. "In
1925, a total of 65.2 per cent of all
new cars sold were bought on time
payments, extending over periods of
from six to 18 months. Last year, re-
ports of finance companies show,
only $751; per cent of all new cars
purchased were sold on the INSTALL
ment plan"
There has been smaller decrease
in the percentage of used cars pur-
chased on the installment plan when
1928 figures are compared with those
of 1925. Of all used cars sold in
1925 62.8 per cent were bought on
time payments, while last year 60.8
per cent were bought on the INSTALL
ment plan, or a decrease during the
four-year period, was only two per
cent.
There were 100000 new cars sold
last year and of this number 1,870,-
900 were financed by different COM
panies engaged in that business. Of
the 3,760,000 used cars that changed
hands during the same year, 1885,
900 were sold on the time payment
plan.
Reports show that of the total
number of new cars sold on time
payments, $500 were repossessed
for failure of purchasers to live up
to their agreements. The average di-
rect loss per repossessed car-the
amount owing minus the amount re-
ceived from sale-was $50 for auto
mobiles sold on IL or less equal
monthly payments of SIS on cars
sold on 13 to 18 equal monthly in
stallments. 1t is estimated that the
total losses on repossessed cars last
year totaled about $3,343,000.
The honesty of the American car
owner, who buys his car on install
ments, is indicated in the reports,
showing that for each 1000 INSTALL
ment sales, an averoge of only AT
persons absconded or skipped last
year.
Another interesting feature of the
finance figure is the fact that the
percentage of "trade-ins" in new car
sales decreased from 72 per cent in
1927 to 69.4 per cent last year. On
the other hand "trade-ins" were in
volved in 1874 per cent of the total
number of used car transaction last
year as compared with 81 per cent
in 1927.
"The reason underlying the re-
duced percentage of cars sold on the
installment plan is the more careful
investigation of credit risks, stricter
financial terms, and the lower prices
of automobiles" said J. Borton
Weeks, president of the American
Motorists Association, in comment
ing upon automobile finance reports.
"The time payment plan has mater
tally aided America in growing auto
mobile-wise and reports of finance
companies show that the average
American motoFist is honest and
lives up to the obligations he under
takes"

COUNTY AGENT SNYDER
EXPLAINS LIME USES

In my previous articles on alfalfa
in Sussex county, wrote about the
variety to plant and the soil and its
preparation. This time 1 want to
tell you about lime and incubation.
The natural home of alfalfa is on
limestone soil or upon soils we'll
supplied with carbonate of lime. No
matter how favorable conditions
may be, if the soil is sour, it will
be necessary to use some form of
lime before it will be possible to
get the best results. Acid soil can
be detected by plants such as sor-
rel growing on it. The best way
to detect the acidity of the soil is
by having your county agent test it
for you. Generally on our soils 1000
lbs. of hydrated lime or its equival-
ent should be applied on a cover
crop in the fall, and then in the
spring when the land is plowed, ar
second application should be ap-
piled.
Alfalfa like other legumes can
make use of free nitrogen of the
air with the aid of bacteria which
find their way into it's roots. Fields
new to alfalfa usually require inoc-
ulation of the soil with alfalfa bac-
terra. This incubation may be ac-
complished in the following ways:
by the application of 300-5OO
lbs. per acre of soil taken from a
well inoculated field evenly scatter
ed and mixed with the surface soil
at once so that the bacteria will not
be exposed to the sun.
BY commercial cultures which
are quite dependable when secured
from reputable firms.
3-By sowing alfalfa with clover
and grass seed and allowing the
resulting crop to stand year. Most
of the alfalfa plants may die but
there usually will be some vigorous
plants remaining which become in
oculated in some way. When the
field is reseeded the chances are
that greater number of bacteria
will be present in the soil for the
incubation of the new plants.

Too late, it is too late!
And shake my fist at Cupid,

FINDS USE FOR SMALL
AND LARGE TRACTOR

81 bought my general-purpose
tractor two years ago for hay1ng
and corn cultivating after reading
articles by farmers in the eastern
states and since that time have dis
posed of all of my horse-drawn corn
machines, except the planters, which
1 pull with this tractor. 1 do prac-
tically all of my moving with it,
which eliminates two or three men.
when my 1880 has more than
it can do, 1 help out on the wheat
farm with the general-purpose and
have pulled, with the best results,
a 30-foot peg-tooth harrow or a IL
foot field cultivator, as well as the
12-foot drill, and find that it will
handle any of these machines, al
though they have been considered a
load for the 1880.
81 do not hesitate to recommend
this machine for any and all farm
work, whether it be wheat, corn, or
haying, as 1 have had the best re-
suits at all work and would surely
hate to part with it."
