THE struggle of the 100000 wooden strikers
in Yorkshire has been completely neglected
by our union membership in this country. AS
a result of the traditional sectionalism that ex-
listed in the struggles of the textile workers
here, it has been difficult to make our leader
ship in the past grasp the idea of a national
union operating north and south of the Mason
and Dixon line, and as a hangover from the
old methods we find ourselves confronted with
q situation where our leadership has done moth
ing to rally the textile workers for the support
of the great struggles of the wooden strikers.
Coming as result of the attempts of the
English Wooden Manufacturers Association
and their agents in the reactionary unions to
impose cut of 5 to per cent and an accom-
panying increase in the number of looms per
worker, the strike has great significance for
the American textile worker especially N the
wooden section.
At the present time there is a developing
struggle between the bosses of both countries
for the control of the world wooden market and
especially the American wooden market.

HOMRADE HOLMES and myself were arrest
ed on the 18th of January while distrib-
uting leaflets at the Vscose Silk Mill in Mar
Gus Hook, Pa, charged with sedition and con-
victed. Holmes was sentenced to the Hunt

was sentenced from to 20 years in Delaware
County Jail and $4,000 fine. The case was
appealed to the State Superior Court, but the
awfully "fair" judge, McDade, refused to let
US out on bail pending the appeal. This case
was genuine railroadng case from the very
beginning.
War Industries in Chester
Marcus Hook is a small industrial town
right next to Chester, town of heavy war
industry, such as the Baldwin Locomotive, Sun
Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, General
Steel Castings, Ford's, General Chemical, rayon
plants and many other such factories which
are indispensable to the bosses when they carry
on a Last winter (and l told now
even more acutely), the general business de-
preston with all its consequences showed it's
face clearly in these factories. The speed-up
grew to the extent that, for example, at Fords,
men tainted on the jobs and many brought
their lunches back home-not having time
enough to eat it on the job. Industrial &C.
cidents increased, the already miserable wages
of the white and Negro workers were cut again
and again, on account of this, many factories
were either completely shut down or began to
run part time, many workers were laid off
and thousands of workers were walking the
streets unable to get a job.
Hunger was creeping into the homes of these
metal, chemical oil, textile and other workers
Of course, the Bosses grew greatly concerned
with the welfare of the workers, so they wrote
in their Chester Times" that "a committee on
unemployment was going to be set up, to IN
vestigatc the unemployment situation in Ches-
ter and vicinity" Meanwhile, more and more
workers were being thrown out OF their jobs
land their homes when they could not pay
remit, wages cut, speed of work doubled and
trebled to an unbearable extent

1t is becoming the usual course of all the
weak and cowardly elements, who shirk from
the growing sharpness of the class war and
who wish to run away from it, that they seek
and find refuge in the camps of the rene

slanderous attacks against the Party and the
Comintern, and where, in recognition Of their
services to the enemies of the workers, they
run no personal risks of Imprisonment or bod

MALES AND FEMALES
Ratio of Sexes Important Determine
 ton of Census

One of the most important facts to be determined by the 1880 census in Connecticut will be the ratio of males to females in the state, Dr. Joseph Hill, acting director of the census bureau says.
 Whether the males will continue to uphold their numerical superiority to females in Connecticut, despite the growing immigration restrictions which tend to cut down the males more than the females. will shortly be determined.
 In common with all the New Eng land states. Connecticut had slightly fewer males in proportion to females in 1920 than in 1910. In 1920, there were t0l.5 men for every hundred women in the state, while in 1910, there were 1928 men to every hun dred women.
 The census this year will reveal whether the decrease in the superior number of males has continued to a point where women now outnumber men.

FertiIining Corn and Grasses


 Most of the farmers in Windham County use manure on corn. l often wonder if they realize that by using superphosphate with this manure they would increase the efficiency of the manure? In manure used in the or dinary form nitrogen and potash are relatively high but phosphorous is the limiting factor of the growth of plants when it is used as a fertilizer alone. By adding this phosphorons in the form of superphosphate. or acid phOs@ phate as 1t is probably more common ly known, one can substantially in- crease the yield of his crop from the same amount of manure.
 We believe that if farmer were to use fifteen tons of manure per acre for corn and 800 pounds of super phosphate in place of the common amount of twenty tons per acre he would secure larger yields of corn and have five tons O. manure to use in top-dressing his grassland which would also increase his hay yield
 Superphosphate is one of the cheap est fertilizers on the market, selling today for around twenty dollars per ton. Thia means that in the above recommendation the farmer would have to spend S5. per acre for fer tilizer in seeding his corn.
 Where the corn field is Co be fol- lowed by grass it k very wise to ap- ply some lime. especially if the field has never been lined as is the case with most of our Windham County farms. This lime will not only in- crease the yield of corn but will in- crease the yield of hay as well. We have many experimental figures to prove this statement. If one IS seed ing grass the recommendations apply ing to corn as mentioned above would also be excellent recommendation for grass seeding. l think that all farmers realize the value of good clover and alfalfa hay and the neces- sity of using lime in growing them. The crop increases from the use of this reinforced manure In Ohio ex- periments have averaged l0.5 bushels of corn and 900 pounds of clover hay above land that has been manured without the phosphate reinforce ments.
 An easy method of application of acid phosphate is to divide your 500 pounds among the fifteen loads of manure at the rate of about thirty five pounds to a load, spread evenly for q top dressing after it has been loaded into the manure spreader. An- other means of using 1t is in the stables where it helps to absorb liq- uids and keeps down the odor of the stables

SCOUT MEN HOLD
 LAST SESSION
Pass Cooking Test With Result ant Delectable Dishes In-
 cIuding Hunters Stew
Outing a, Boy Scout. Camp. Saturday

The Putnam sc0utleader's training course conducted by Scout Executive Sellman during the past three months had its closing session Saturday after noon and night at the Putnam Boy Scout camp north of Woodstock. The scoutmasters and assistants assembled at St Theresa's haIl at 70 in the morn ing from whence they drove to the camp. The camp is situated on a beautiful natural pond and the site has many interesting features.
 Upon arrival at the camp the scout men all passed their second class cook ing test of one-half pound of steak and two potatoes cooked over an open fire. Each leader made twist and preparations for the individual dish es for supper were begun. Arthur Pominville and Dona Charron made an Indian Seneca dinner which con sists of digging a hole one and half feet deep. placing hot stones on it, and putting chicken. vegetables, etc, in the hole. covering over with wet huriap and then with soil until no steam can escape. The dinner was left in the ground for five hours, at the end of which time, it was removed and found to be we'll cooked.
 Hunters Stew Wins Prize
 Seoutmaster Edward Donovan made 2 tasty kabob of onions and cut steak on a stick. Scoutmasters Frank Glea- son and Harry Trask from Woodstock made a large kettle of hunters stew. which was declared to be the best dish cooked. and which was awarded gold razor prize contributed by one of the scouters. All the men made bread tests on a stick furnished by Scout master Howard Ludlow of Norwich.
 After the noon meal the leaders followed a tracking trail made up of the common wood signs The trail led to. the summer cottage of MT. Trask and the treasure consisted of a bag of kisses. Answering a call to help find a lost boy scout. the leaders spent two hours searching the sur rounding trails and hills for the scout. After long search the scout was found. He had strayed about two miles from the camp site.
 In the late afternoon the leaders demonstrated Co one another different methods of judging of distance; the pencil method, the staff method, tri- angulation method. shadow method, etc. Scout Executive Sellman made a panorama map and also made a flat

State Seed Law
 Aiding Farmers
Label Attached to Each Package Civ es Complete Information About
 Qaality-Deaiers Cooperating


 Connecticut farmers can no long CT justly say that they do not know Che kind of seed they are buying, de- clared Leonard H. Healey, Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture, upon bis return to Hartford from a prelim- mary inspection and sampling oi seeds in the large wholesale houses throughout the state. This inspection work by the State Department of Agriculture marks the inauguration of the enforcement of the Connecti- cut Seed Law.
 Connecticut is large consumer of seeds and has some of the largest seed houses in the east located within her borders. In the past, however, no guarantee whatever has been re- quired in regard to purity and ger mination on a large part of the seeds offered for sale. The last session of the legislature enacted a seed law re. auiring that all grass seeds and field seeds shall have label or tag attach. ed to each package, giving the com. mon name of the seed, together witf germination test, percent of purity and the name and address of the dealer with certain requirements as to mixturesD. Farmers are urged in purchasing seed to buy only such seed as is labeled in accordance with the state law.
 Seedsmen throughout the state arc showing a gratifying willingness tc cooperate with the State Department O, Agriculture in the enforcement oi the law. In more than seventy-iivt per cent of the places inspected the : dealers already have their seeds label ed In accordance with the state regu lations. In the few cases where tho label was not attached giving the re euired information it was found tC ] be largely confined to those seeds ear ried over from last year when sucf 1 labelling was not necessary.

Good Flowing to Control European
 Corn Borer

 Corn Borer
 The European corn borer has come Co stay and he has an enormous ap- petite. He k capable of eating any part of your crop of corn; stalks. grain, leaves and tassel. Then he will finish up with a nice dessert consisting of almost any vegetable you grow. Such an appetite is a costly one--es- pecially for you. Therefore. why not help to control it7
 Your government. your state, your neighbor. your county agent--in fact, everybody k declaring war on this corn borer. You are already familiar with the requirements of the state for blowing under of all old corn ground within the quarantined area before April 10. The fact that such law exists must make you wonder why so much emphasis is pus on blowing for corn borer control. Flowing must be effective if state passes law com polling it to be done"-you reason. That is true. Clean blowing is one of the most effective means yet found to control this pest You will bear Tn mind that just ordinary blowing IS not enough. The blowing must be clean, completely burying all stubble and vegetation.
 The corn borer has introduced new problems in blowing requiring new methods to solve them. These new methods involve such problems as depth to plow, width of blow bottom, adjustment of coulter and jofnter and the very important practice of pro- per attachment of covering wires.
 1t seems that the corn borer doesn't like to be plowed under. If he is, he tries to get on top again and 1T he does get on top, he must md some shelter nearby. If no shelter such as cornstalks is at hand--he dies.
 Therefore. blow clean by blowing with a better adjusted blow, one with wider bottom-not less than four teen inches and preferably sixteen inches. Use long smooth covering wires properly attached to the blow beam These wires perform tremen- dous service in helping to bury trash.
 The Farm Bureau will soon an- nounce county blowing demonstra- tion. There will be expert plowmen at the demonstration who will operate properly adjusted blows and improp- erly adjusted ones. Some of the blows will be equipped with covering wires. Others will not. You are the judge as to which does the better job. Come to the demonstration prepared to render a decision If you own blow that does not seem to operate properly--ask for advice on how to adjust it. Bring the plow along and have it adjusted. if you want Co. Use your blow and every other means at your command in a united effort to control the European corn borer.
 Demonstration are being arranged for April 10 in Woodstock. and April II in Canterbury.
 Further details will be published later.

In former days it was the custom for people to visit their Mother Church on Mid-Lent Sunday, and to make their offerings. The practice of mothering. or going to visit par ents upon Mid-Lent Sunday, or as We now have a Mothers Day IS really owing to that good old custom. It seems to be called Mothering from the respect so paid to the Mother Church.
 The fourth Sunday in Lent is some times called the Sunday of Refresh ment." The reason may be the Gospel for the day, which treats of Christ s miraeulously feeding the five thou sand or of Joseph's entertaining his brethren. In some localities in Eng land it is the practice on Mid-Lent Sunday. to visit their parents and make them d present of money, a trinket. or some dainty for " regale of excellent furmety." Furmety IS derived from frumentum, wheat. IL is made of whole grains of wheat or barley boiled plump and soft and then put into and boiled in milk, sweeten- ed and spiced. For Mothering Sun day it was made of ale. sugar and spices.
 Putnam Becomes Town
 The town of Putnam was ineorpo- rated in May ls55-just seventyfive years ago in May It is also the thirty fifth anniversary of the city. As soon as it became manifest to the gather ing multitude" that the villages in the vicinity of Pomfret Factory were to be consolidated plans were made for the establishment of churches These inhabitants were meeting-goers faithfully attending service in the ad- jaeent churches. and enjoying reli- gious gatherings in their schoolhous- es. As the villages increased in popu- lation 1t was interesting to see the families and foot travellers starting of OF a fair warm morning for the West Thompson, Pomfret and Xiii lingly Mother Churches to attend di- vine service to be followed by a Love Feast (hand shaking).
