Democrats more than held their own Mon- day in the annual borough elections. Nauga- tuck remained true to Jeffersonan principles by returning Warden Frank Green to office by safe majority. The warden was opposed by woman, Miss Emily Sophie Brown who wasn't making her bow to politics this year. Miss Brown has served as New Haven county commissioner Southington provided the fireworks of the day by upsetting Dr Almond J. Cutting well known member of the state dental commission. as warden after he had served some sixteen years in that official ca pacity. A democrat was elected in his place and practically the entire democratic ticket was also swept into office as was also the case in Naugatuck. Pennington was as republi- can as ever electing complete ticket. Thomas Hewes member of Governor Cross s staff. was the defeated democratic candidate for warden. The Naugatuek valley looks safe for democracy for few more years. The l932 elections also do not loom as break in the luck. It wouldn't surprise the writer one bit to see the democratic party carry the entire state ticket next year, not to mention increasing its congressional seats.

The rugged. peculiarly jagged character of the steep hills walling in the narrow Naugatuck valley, below Torrington. has made that district a distinctive scenic feature of the Connecticut landscape. Industrial development and urban growth have tanned 1t somewhat. but Is still, remarkably picturesque, suggestive of the "wild and romantic aboriginal times. High Rock, near Beacon Falls. is typical of the territory. Last Sat- urday 1t was announced that the, Whittemore family, of Naugatuck. had presented a two thousand acre tract of the High Rock wilderness. on both sides of the river, to the public through the state park and forest commission. The late Harris Whittemore was formerly a mem Der of that commission, and his son, Harris Whittemore. Jr. is a present member. The liberaiity of the gift deserves wide appreciation.

"A sMlLEs THE THING"

The bare limbs leaf as summer
 comes.
 Rare flowers come to hand, The grass throws off its mantle
 brown.
 And greens throughout the land, The robins and the blue birds glint As they pass on the wing. And even sparrows try their best, In choir grim to sing. It's summer magic, bless the feat, Things that were dead arise, And daubs of earthly paint are seen As morning tints the skies. The dormant worlds in tune once
 more,
 The pipes of Pan are loud, And happy faces show themselves, In every summer crowd. The gold that marks the race of men,
 Is naught to natures power. For gold with all its buying force. Could not create a flower, Nor bring green leaves to wonder
 tree,
 Or flowers to nearby dell, And yet fair nature gives it free. The things that gold would sell.

CROPS LACK WATER
RESERVE IN SOIL
MeteoroIogist Says AgricuI-
ture Operates With Hand
to-Mouth Rainfall.
BY THOMAS II. HENRY.

American agriculture Is operating on
a shoestring this Summer.
It has no reserve captain the form
of water In the Subsoil from 10 to 80
feet below the surface-to carry 1t over
a few weeks of rain depression.
This is the way j. B. Kincer. chief
Of the division OF agricultural meteorol-
ogy of the Weather Bureau. character
ICES the present condition of the
bumper crops in most parts of the
country. In sense there has been no
recovery at all from the great 1880
drought and crops are living from hand
to mouth, entirely dependent on the i'm
mediate IainfaR.
July Rain Abundant.
In most parts of the country. Mr..
Kincer's maps show. this has been
fairly abundant during July, but in most
cases 1t has come in the nick Of time
to keep the fields and pastures in good
shape. Last Summer they were in bet
ter shape to stand dry period because
they could draw from the deposits in
the subsoil. They exhausted these de-
posts and nature has done nothing to
replace them.
A characteristic of this Summers
rain, Mr. Kincer points out. has been
the extreme "spottineSs." Last week,
for example, there was one-tenth OF an
inch of rainfall at Lawrence, Kans.
while a few miles across the country, at
Kansas City. there was eight times as
much, and few miles further east at
Brunswick, Mo-, there was 80 times as
much. Baltimore has twice as much
rain as Washington, and Lynchburg,
Va. about $50 miles away, nearly twice
as much as Baltimore. Asheville, N. c.,
had only three-tenths of an inch, while
Knoxville, Tenn. had three and a half
inches The same picture obtains over
the whole Eastern and Central parts OF
the country. Almost always rain has
arrived just when crops were ready to
wilt.
Little Snow Is Cause.
Besides, Kincer points out, it has
been a very hot Summer through most
of the Eastern and Central States. This
means that the evaporation of surface
water has been more rapid than usual
and that the luxurious vegetation has
absorbed more moisture Even in the
best regulated of Summers very little
moisture can be spared for the subsoil
reserve. The reserve of water must be
laid away during the Winter when
there is little evaporation and no thirsty
vegetation. The reserve Is replenished
best by heavy SHOWS which melt gradu-

IOWAN SUES TO HALT
RADIO STATION BAN
Norman Baker of KTNT, Musca-
tine, Starts Second Appeal Ac-
ton in D. c. Supreme Court.

Norman Baker of Muscatine. Iowa,
yesterday filed suit in the District STU
preme Court to compel the Federal Ra-
dio Commission to revoke its recent or
der ruling of the air Station KTNT,
owned by the petitioner. He attacks the
constitut.onality of the radio act Of 1927.
He already has appealed to the Dis
trict Court of Appeals from the order Of
the commission, but In the present suit
he claims that the requirement OF the
stations before the passage OF the act
waive their claims to any particular
wave lengths or to the ether is unconsti-
t.onal. He signed the waiver. ne states,
he was subjected thereby amounted to
signing away of his right Of free speech

ally rather than by heavy rains which
flow into the streams and are wasted.
Last Winter there were few such SHOWS.
The situation Is illustrated, Mr..
Kincer says, by the fact that although
there has been much more rain this
Summer, wells and deep springs which
held up during the 1890 drought now
are going dry all over the drought area
as the last traces Of the subsoil re-
serve are drawn upon. So few weeks
of drought probeb bly, would be disastrous,
especially at time when the corn tas-
sells are forming through much Of the
corn area.
East Fares Well.
States East of the Appalachians have
Jared well from the ''hand-to-mouth
rains, especially during July. But
Florida had the dryest June the State
has ever known, 80 per cent below the
previous low record for June, 1898,
when 2.14 inches of rain fell. 1t was
less than one-third Of the normal
Georgia had the dryest June on record
and Tennessee the second dryest The
July rains fell just in time in all these
States.
While the actual drought was broken
late last Fall, Mr.. Kincer points out,
IIlC AOt tIlC 1hoL Ildll Ol 1901
was above normal only in New England,
Arizona and New Mexico and conse-
quently only these States had any re-
punishment of the ground water sup
ply. In the Northwest-the only Sec
ton effected disastrouSly by drought
thus far this Summer-the precipita-
ton was only half normal. The Mid
die Atlantic States averaged about 90
per cent normal an dthe Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Valley States about IS per cent.
The South Atlantic States had some
heavy Winter rains, but the slight ac-
emulation was wiped away during the
dry June. The territory from Kansas
and Iowa north missed the July rains,
with the result that they are In the grip
of a disastrous drought. Some of the
grain crops have been irreparably dam
aged. Only the Winter wheat crop Is
certain.
Freaks Cited.
There have been some curious freaks,
Kincer points out, due to the fact that
there Is a critical period in the life of
nearly every corp when moisture is
necessary. Thus oats are most suscep-
tible when the heads are filling out,
which comes later, according to the lati-
tude.
The present drought struck the Kan
sas-to- Montana belt just when the Iowa
oats were going through this critical
period. To the south they already had
passed through 1t and to the north
they had not entered it. So only the
Iowa crop was badly damaged. A time
ly rain could save the Northern fields.
Pastures through much of last years
drought area, especially in the South
Central States, are getting into bad
shape. Fruit, concerning which there
were dire predictions because Of the
probable effect of last Summers
drought in preventing bud formation,
apparently did not suffer as badly as
was thought, and some bumper crops
are predicted.
