CHECKUP IS MADE
 ON CORN PEST BAN Federal Scout Investigates Farmers Compliance With Rule GAN PREDICT NO RELIEF
Believes Stations Will Be Establish ed Along Highways from Town Garritys Wed 3z YcarS-Glec Club Concert Great Success.

Further interest in the corn borer situation has been awakened by the fact that A. E. Russell, field scout of the agricultural cNperl- mental station at New Haven IS making in investigation of the con ditions of the fields of Kensington and Berlin and will be here for Bev- eral days.
 Certain measures for the preVen- tion of the spread of the destructive pest were prescribed by the station officials last fall, and it is, with the idea of checking the results of these measufes that the scout is working.
 All stalks left standing through the winter should have been cut or plowed under before the 10th of April, According to the advice of those in charge of the program. and it is expected that severe criticism will be in store for those who have not complied with the ruling. It nothing more serious is done with them.
 Some feel that the visit of this agent might bring some good. as they believe that his mission may be to bring about a change in the quar- antine status, but to these can only come disappointment. It was learned today that Mir. Russell had discussed the plan of the station to inauguratc and maintain scout stations at the outskirts of the town for the pur- pose of enforcing the letter of the measure.
 It was his belief that one of these stations would be set up in the Vi cinity of the New Britain boundary. and he suggested that its location would in all probability be in the vicinity of Willow Brook park.
 He stated that the matter is con- paratively new and those responsible for the eNtcrmiuation of the pest are wont to go slow in their handling of the situation. He expressed the hope that this year would sec some deti- nite measures adopted for the sue cessful prevention of future lnfcc- tions.
 Stream Closed
 tN i'iuC Iliiio [ loil tNlAN N'eN''fS S association has taken another step in it's crusade against the sporting gcntry's cncroachment on it's mem- bcrs' lands. In addition to posting many acres of valuable hunting grounds it has also voted to close the Blue Hills stream for the coming year against the trcspassing of am- bilious anglers.
 This action was taken after the discovery was made that trout in- habiting the stream were very small. It is also the intention of these men to restock the territory if the fish can be obtained.
 That the restrictions will be en- forced is evidenced by the fact the association at it's last meeting vot- ed to give a bounty of S10 for the arrest and conviction of anyone found hunting or fishing in the posted areas.

The new New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad timetables. is lsued for distribution today. show that changes made in the schedule of trains between this city and New York will not help the situation existing in Berlin, where long waits are necessary, but will only tend to make this condition worse than be- fore. According to local officials of the road the train which formerly stopped here at 11:33 a. m, stand. ard time, now does not stop until 11:3S d. n., thereby causing a five minute delay in reaching Berlin, This particular train, the official continued, will reach Berlin just three minutes too late to effect pro per connections with the metropolis It is possible that the railroad au- thorities will inauguratc bus line between Bristol and Berlin in thl near future to correct this. However, the 6;tl a. m., standard time, train leaving here has been made a through train, going directly to Boston. A through train from Boston, which leaves at 1 p. m. standard time, arrives in Bristol at 4:49 D. m. The train which former ly left Bristol at 11:52 d. m, stand ard time, has been changed to leave here at 1915 p. m. for Waterbury
