thing more profitable than Sumac and other growths from which the owners never receive any profit. The time is coming when many will have to look for employment outside the factories, and it would be good plan t encourage a back to the land movement. so that people who fail to find openings in the shops may be able to turn their hand to something else that gives promise of an honest livelihood. Why is it that almost everything families use on the table the year round comes from other parts of the state, and much of it from outside the state? The answer is that Connecticut, once noted for fine farms has practically gone out of the business and the rural pop ulatio- fiocked into the crowded dis tricts. The same is true all over New England, and they have a similar complaint in many countries of the old world. The result of this is that there are too many applicants for positions in the cities and few will ing to do anything on the farm.
 It is only a few years ago, so to speak, when a very large share of the prosperous citizens of Water bury were engaged in farming. At that time the local market was far from being as good as it is now. The farmer had to go from house to house find custmers and frequent ly had to take his stock home or sell at a sacrifice. He would not have to do that these times, but probably he si making money easier in some other line of endeaVor

SOLDIER BONES
 HARD PRESSED BY
 HOOVER REGIME
Secretary Mellon Will Ap= pear in Opposition to the Cash Payment as Mouth= piece of White House
BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent )

Washington, Jan 2S-U. P) - Administration pressure to prevent further immediate compensation for World War veterans developed to- day in the midst of a sharp senate engagement over the Muscle Shoals power and fertilizer project.
 The effort to obtain a showdown on Muscle Shoals involves the war department appropriation bill. It may prevent final enactment of that measure and might lead to a special session of congress.
 Secretary of Treasury Mellon has accepted an invitation to appear be- fore the senate finance committee to- day to express the administration S opposition to cash payments of vet erans' adjusted service certificates. A determined group in the house and senat eadvocateS cashing the certi- ficates now. President Hoover may find this situation as difficult to deal with as that created by his opposi- tiOn to relief appropriations insisted upon by the senate.
 With Muscle Shoals and the vet erans' compensation proposals shar- ing attention, prohibition momentar- fly is in eclipse. The Howell bill for drastic enforcement in the District of Columbia was set aside yesterday to permit cOnSlQeratlOn or the war department bill. Supporters of the bill warned that the action was tan tamount to killing the legislation be- cause other supply bills or reports on them probably will consume most of the senate's time between now and March 4.
 But critics of the Wickersham com missions prohibition report will not wait for the Howell bill to turn up again before resuming their attack. Resolutions now pending and likely to be considered soon would sum- mon members of the commission to explain their report before the judi ciary committee. Another would re- quest the commission to submit to the senate all testimony not taken in confidence and all findings of com mission investigators touching on prohibition.

 There have been several two-min- ute and ,five-minute sessions of court here within the past few weeks, but to-day without a single prisoner in custody or a lone case transferred from previous hearings, it was not necessary for court officials to pay their morning visit to police head quarters.
