PARK is POPULAR WITH
FARMERS THIS SUMMER

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., (Spec-
iaD-The parade of the American
farmer into Yellowstone National
Park goes ON. Thousands of far
mers each year make their pill
grimage to this land of wonders,
but this year seems to be a record
season for organized farm tours.
Maintaining their record for
bringing in the largest groups, the
farm parties We're particularly
numerous during the first half of
August. The Pennsylvania Farm
er party, known as the Three Ma
tions Tour, holds the record for
the season with 211 persons in a
body touring Yellowstone. In this
group were farmers from Penn
sylvania, New York, Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey, and West
Virginia.
There have been farm parties
from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,

NEW METHOD CHECKS
LOSSES IN POULTRY

Bozeman, Mont, (UP)-Pull-
Drum disease, one of the most
serious losses of the poultry in
dustry, may be effectively reduced
as result of recent research by
the United State department of
agriculture.
A new test for the disease makes
it possible for the poultry grower
to determine within a minute or
two whether a fowl is infected.
This is tremendous stride over
the old method which 1equired
that each chicken be tagged, re-
corded, and sample of blood sent
to a laboratory for considerable
period.
Using the new method an ex-
perienced tester may catch u
chicken, make a pin prick, get a
small drop of blood, mix it with a
drop of diagnostic agent on a slip
of glass and complete the test
then and there. The improved
method has been assigned to the
secretary of agriculture for the
public benefit.

N. P. AGENT STRIVING
FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
IRRIGATION PRACTICE

Billings, Mont, (UP)-Improv-
ed irrigation practices are needed
in Montana, and this need has
heen pressed home to agrieultur-
lists by the relentless dry spell
which has spelled ruin to hundreds
of farmers.
This is the opinion of Irving j.
Courtice. agricultural development
agent for the Northern Pacific
Railway.
He is working in cooperation
with the extension service in land
leveling demonstrations which will
be given this month and next.
Two carloads of equipment will
be taken on the tour which will
include most of the states agri-
cultural regions.
Leveling and proper ditch loca-
ton, Courtiee said, are fundamen-
tai to successful irrigation, and
while net highly technical, must
be done with forethought and a
certain skill. Homemade equip
ment of simple construction can
be used.
The tour will start from Sidney
August 20, and continue daily
until the Missoula and Roman re-
giens are reached about Septem-
ber Is.

A New Charter, Yes

Reading over the interview that E. O. Goss of the Scovill Company had with Democrat reporter. we are inclined to agree with many things he has to say about the condition of our city government and its finances. It IS a pleasure to listen to what Mir Goss has to say after the ranting and raving of partisan critics for so many years. It reveals clearly the difference between a man who is really intetested in the welfare of his native city and one who is more concerned over obtaining the power that. others afe yielding. But after this IS said and done we still remain uncon- vineed as to the advisability of the city man ager type of government for Waterbury.
 No one will deny many of the facts that Mir Goss presented in his brief interview. The city tis still struggling to lift itself from financial depression. And everything is against it. Times are hard Property owners are hard pressed to pay every day bills, let alone heavy taxes. If the Hayes administration can acquit itself as nobly in lo3l as it did in 1930 we believe that it should be continued in office for no other form of government could aetu- ally do any better than that. not even the city manager type. economical as it is claimed to be. Which brings us to an important point that we might mention
 While city manager advocates are telling us that substitution of this system would result in great saving to the city they aren't re- vealng the huge salaries that would be paid the city manager and the dozen or more bureau heads who would run the business of the city. For instance the eity's legal department would not engage in any outside law work. but would devote its full time to the city. All well and good, but how much would the city have to pay legal staff to give its full time to municipal affalrs' gcod deal more than it is today.
 Another point that frequently disturbs us when the city manager is mentioned $ the fact that politics will probably play as important part in the new as in the old form of gov crnment. T here will be wire-pulling to name the city manager and certainly when he takes over the business he won't look to the people for advice or information, but will look to those men who hired him, the mayor and the aldermen. And the people won't have the opportunity of voting down this high-paid executive every two years as they have the chance to oust their mayor and other elective officials today In democratic form of government the people should never be deprived of the right to pick and choose their officials. Reorganzc our charter by all means but don't change the form of govern ment. sf

Fix The Roads Now

This is the time of year when the dirt road problem is most apparent. And 1t is the time of year when legislators who are interested in securing funds for dirt road improvements should take their more stubborn fellow legls- ators out into the great open spaces where one automobile IS just as useless as another when passing through mudhoes.. There is eonsid- crable elation among dirt road advocates over the fact that $3,00O,000 will be allotted to getting the farmer out of the mud. The amount first demanded was S5,000,00O but the lower figure was reached as a comprom- ise.
 However, we might point out that demo- cratic legislators remained firm in demanding $5,000000 appropriation even in the face of opposition from those who so clamorously demanded that amount when the General As sembly first convened. Also we might point out that 1t was the democratic delegation in the legislature that asked for a change in that provision of the dirt roads bills which permits any town to vote to spend the money to which it is entitled on state aid roads other highway improvements such as come under its jurisdiction instead of using the money for dirt road improvements.
 Every town in the state will shortly be notified that there is $l7.75l and some odd cents due it as its share in the $3,000,000 fund that is to be used for such purposes Every town is given 60 days to accept its share of dirt road money. Should it fail to do so the money will be divided among those towns that do make application for aid How ever. we doubt if many towns will pass up the opportunity to secure $l8,000. But we wonder what some towns in the rural regions can do with even $l8,000? It will take good many years before they have the farmer out of the mud
 For example Terryville has lO9 miles of rural roadway to be supervised and worked. The $l8000 is going to come in handy but will it serve the real purpose of the bill and insure every resident on these lOo miles of roadway of resurfaced highways that will withstand the wear and tear of snow. rain. and thaw. Meriden with nearly 60 miles of dirt roads has a number of projects in mind. but will have to forego some because in actu- ality S18,000 doesn't enable city to do lot of road work. Time will probably prove that the democratic legislators were right Tn holding out for the larger appropriation and for demanding that the money be spent solely for the betterment of dirt roads and not for any highway project that controlled town meeting might vote.

Greens

Perhaps, if a census were taken, 1t would be found that most persons dislike spinach. Nevertheless, there are evidences of existence of spinach joke like the old mother -in-law joke. Spinach has become sure-fire laugh bringer, in spite of the fact that there are many people who really enjoy eating it. as there are many people with likable mothers in-law.
 An honest newspaper man who doesn t mind speaking the truth even if it makes peo pie laugh at him, writes: T am an enthusi astic spinach fancier and require no outside encouragement. am fancier of spinach not because I think it is good for me but because l like it. He explains that spinach IS for him an inclusive word covering all the diff ferent kinds of greens familiar to him in his boyhood - narrow -leaved dock, marsh mar igolds dandelions, mustard tops, horse-radsh tops, beet tops, and So on
 This liking for greens has endured steadily, and spinach is but the most common form of greens 5tanabe on the market" If the diet dictators would stop telling us how good spin ach is for us we might all forget our compexes against it. And wouldn't it help to experiment with some of the other varieties mentioned by the sef-styled 'fanciet?'

ming mate on the 1932 ticket. It is a sug- gestion with some possibilities. The young governor has made good in his present job. and his name has large popular appeal. But whether Roosevelt will want the vice-pres- deney. assuming he can have it. is something else. The plight of the present occupant of that high office is not one to make him envi- ous. It has been evident for long time that Charlie" Curtis, the once happy senator. is a very disillusioned viee-president In his former position. he was majority floor leader and legislator of importance. Now his chief activities are banging a gavel and hoping for an opportunity to break tie-vote. No won- der one hears gossip from all sides to the ef feet that Curtis will gladly step down from his senate throne in I932 in order to minge with his colleagues on the floor again. It is generally conceded that the senatorship is his for the asking.
 Other leading republican vice presidential possibilities besides young Roosevelt are Sec retary of War Hurley. and Hanford Mac Nider of Iowa. now United States Minister to Canada. Of all these prospects, the possible candidacy of Porto Rico's governor undoubted- ly has the most piquant aspects. Imagine one Roosevelt contending for the presidency on the democratic ticket, as seems likely, and another trying to reach the presidency on the shoulders of the g.o.p. It has been sug- gested that if such situation does occur, the democrats might give Marcus Coolidge of Massachusetts the vice presidential nomina- ton and complete the confusion of names.
