ELECTRIC LIGHTING
 DEFECT CORRECTED
Faulty Fuse Found Cause Of
 Poor Service in Berlin
WILL PATROL BACK ROADS
Government Hopes to Prevent "BOotlegging" of Forbidden Veg etablcs-Vacation School Closing Exercises ToEight-Items.

The cause of poor electric light ing Ill the Warrington ridge section Of Berlin, which has resulted in many complaints recently has been discovered and corrected, it was stated by officials Of the Connecticut Light and Power Co. at the branch office in New Britain.
 The reason for the failure of the lights to function normally was found to be a blown out fuse in one ot the voltage regulators located in Berlin section of the town. The fuse was evidently put out of commits sion by the severe electric storm V hich visited this area on Wednes- day night.
 During the investigation the transformers and lines were found to be in perfect condition.

 In reply to a query as to now the department hoped to take care of the many back reads leading in and out of the section and to pre- vent farmers from "bootlegsing' their products in violation of the quarantine measures. it was stated that there would be soodly num- bcr of patrol scouts sent into the section and these men would be re- sponsible for the enactment of the quarantine as far as these back roads were concerned.

VALLEY DUSTS
COTTON CROP
BY AIRPLANE
Three Hundred Acres
Covered In Hour
And Half

Exit the antiquated methods O
agriculture formerly used in The
Valley. and enter the most modern
in existence.
Recent rains IN this section have
made boil weevil and leaf worms
deadly enemies to the cotton crops
seriously endangering a successful
Weld, but the arrival of a special
ly equipped plane for busting the
fields from the air has materially
lessened the damage the pests may
do.
Work on busting the fields adj
iacent TO Brownsville began Thurs
day morning when a Curtiss- Wright
busting plane. piloted by l.. B. Day
swept the 300-acre tract Of land
south Of the city belonging "a
Kirk Loughridge and Randall
Mathers. A mixture Of calcium
arsenate and paris green Is used
the former chemical for boil weevi
and the latter for the leaf worms.
The mixture consists OF 100 pound!
calcium arsenate TO 10 pounds
paris green. according TO PILOT
Day.
Hour and Half
The busting Of crops from the
air is said to be 80 times faster
than when done by ground ap-
paratus, the 300-acre tract having
been completed In an hour and o
half. The busting plane. sweeping
over the field, lays a heavy cloud
of poison dust while the foliage !:
still wet from the rains or dew
and the soil too wet for ground
busting.
Ideal conditions for busting /:
when the cotton IS still wet witt
