May lst will mark the beginning of one of the greatest egg celebrations ever held in Connecticut. Poultry men. wholesalers and retailers of eggs, meeting at the office of the State De partment of Agriculture. made pre- liminary plans for q vigorous cam paign during National Egg Week from May l to '.
 National Egg Week, as the name implies. is national in scope and aims Co stimulate the consumption of q most valuable food. It is conducted at a time when eggs are within the reach of every pocketbook. At this time of the year eggs are compara- lively plentiful, reasonable in price and high in quality. With one dozen eggs having food value equal to two pounds of meat. the value of sub eggs. to a limited extend. in the daily diet can readily be seen as move toward economy.

SHERE THURSDAY
Also maundy Thursday Good Friday
 Easter Eve.

Shere Thursday is the Thursday be- fore Easter. and Is so called, for that in old Fathers days the people would that day shere theyr hedes and clypp theyr berdes. and pool theyr heedes and so make them honest ayensi Easter day"
 Maundy Thursday. called "Shier' rhursday-als "Sheere' Thursday One writer says sheer means purus mundus; 1t may allude to the washing of the disciples feet. On that day they washed the altars.
 Maundy Thursday, the day preeed ing Good Friday, is when they com memorate and practice the command: of our Saviour, in washing the feet of the poor. The kings, queens. lords and ladies of England and the con. tinent have for many years .practieed this custom on that day, washing the the feet of poor men and women in numbers equal to the years of theii reign or as years they are old, and give them shoes, stockings and money Some derive the word from manda- tum. command; but others from maud, kind of basket. Maundy Thursday. says a magazine for July 1779, ''is the poor peoples Thursday from the French maundier. to beg Maundiant is in French a beggar."
 Give to the Poor
 On this day in England and many places in Europe there Is distributed to as many poor as the giver is old boiled beef, herrings. dried cod loaves and ale and as many gowns oi yards of cloth as the age of the per. son giving is "yers of aige and ont for the yere of my Lords aige tc come" It is a general practice oi people of all ranks to dress in theii best clothes on Maundy Thursday The churches are adorned and aims are given to the numerous beggars who attend upon the occasion at the churches where short prayers are said by those who visit several church. es. Some of our ancestors called and still call the day Holy Thursday and gave slices of ham. loaves of bread and eggs to the poor
 During Holy week in Mexico the bells, organs and ehoirs are silent. the stores are closed and there is a gen eral holiday. On Holy Thursday it is customary for men and women to turn out in good clothes as they do in Europe
 Then on Good Friday everything Is changed and the whole country mourns. Sombre black takes the place of the more brilliant gowns of the preceding day; downeast eyes and solemn faces succeed the smiles oi yesterday.

There is one sure way to get greater value in a low-priced car today choose q Six!
 This greater value is instantly obvious when you drive Chevrolet Six. You notice first of all its greater smoothness. There Is no tremor in the steering wheel-no rattle in the floor boards-norumble or drumming in the body.
 In addition to the finer perform ance of it's six-cylinder motor, the new Chevrolet gives you truly remarkable economy.
 It's six-cylinder smoothness saves the entire car from the strain and wear of vibration. This, of course, lowers the cost of maintenance and assures a Ionger-IGsfing, longer sGfiJying automobile.
 From the standpoint of operating expense, Chevrolet Is equally eco- nomical. No other automobile con- sumes less gasoline and oil. No other shows lower expense for tires. And

Control the Corn Borcr

Probably the two-generation Euro pean corn borer will cause some in- jury to corn in Connecticut in 1880. lt is reasonably certain that serious injury will be caused by this pest within the next three years unless the growers take measures to hold it in check as provided by the General Assembly in Chapter I'll, Public Acts of 1929. This act grants authority for the issuance of orders that all corn stubble within the quarantined area be disposed of by April l6. and such orders have been issued. If any stalks now remain in the field they should be either burned or plowed under cleanly at once Inspectors will soon examine the quarantined towns to see that this has been done and if not done. they must know the reason why.
 Growers must help to control this pest. IT they will plant early matur- ing corn. harvest it as soon as pos sible and dispose of the stalks in the fall. the borers will be killed. Where the stalks are cut close to the ground and put in the silo, there will be no chance for the borers to live in the stubble. In case the grower does not have a silo but wishes to feed the stalks. he should cut them in half inch pieces or run them through a shredder to kill the bOrers. If not cut. the stalks should be plowed under eleanly in the fall, and demonstra- tions of such blowing have been held this season. Where not feasible to plow under the stalks, they can be burned in the field together with the larger weeds in and around the field, which may also harbor the borers.
 If all growers practice one or more of these methods. it will still be pos sihle to grow corn at profit.
 It is a violation of Federal and State regulations to transport corn on the ear or stalks from the quar- antined area to points outside. Such violations are punishable by fine not to exceed $500 or imprisonment not to exceed one year or both fine and imprisonment under the Federal Law Our State law provides for a fine not less than five or more than one hundred dollars. The main high ways leading out of the quaransined areas will soon be patrolled in the en- forcement of the regulations, but transporting ears of corn or stalks out of the quarantined area is vio- lation just the same. if no patrolmen are present. and prosecutions can be made if sufficient evidence is obtain ed."-W. k. Britton. Conn. Agricul- tural Expt. Station.
 At the blowing demonstrations the use of wires and proper adjustment of blows were clearly demonstrated as help to blowing under all stubble and trash. The use of a rolling colter and jointer when in proper adjust ment lay over the edge of the top soil SO that it is buried at the bottom of the furrow. The wires may be used by attaching them to the jointer and also one to the beam of the blow. These wires should be from l2 to b feet in length and help very much to carry under the trash which may be on top of the ground.
 Clean blowing means less trouble from corn borerl
