STATE HIGHWAY
 DEPT BIG PROJECT
Cut Off at Milford and Elimination of Grade
 at ThOmastOn
WORK UP FOR BIDS

The so-called Milford cutoff, which will carry the Boston Post road around the center of Milford, and the elimination of the railroad grade crossing on Main street in Thomaston, will be among this years major highway construction jobs in Connecticut, Highway Coms missioner John A. Macdonald anS nounced to-day in putting both projects together with two others in Fairfield and Middlebury up for contractors bids.
 The Milford cutoff. travelling from New Haven towards Bridge port. will leave the present right of way of the Post road a few hundred yards east of the point where it turns into Cherry street, Milford. It will swing northwest, circle the center of the town, pass over the railroad tracks and will rejoin the Post road at the point on the Devon side of Milford where the present four-lane con- crete pavement begins. The cut off will be about two and three quarters miles in length and will be constructed of reinforced con- crete pavement, four lanes wide. First operations on the Milford project were started about one year ago with grading and drain- age work and with the construc- ton of the -abutments of the bridge which will carry the highway over the railroad tracks and electric overhead equipment. The bridge will be similar in many respects to the famous Southport cutoff which carries the Post road over the tracks in Fairfield, although not as large since the span can be built on a more direct line over the tracks.
 Concrete and steel bridges will be used to carry U. s. Route No. 6 over the tracks at the Thomaston railroad station. Their construc- ton involves difficult engineering problems due to the extraordinar- fly steep grade of Plymouth Hill which descends directly to the present grade crossing. Both the crossing and large part of the grade will be eliminated by the project. The job will involve about quarter of mile of re- inforced concrete and macadam pavement on the approaches to the bridges. The Fairfield job calls for the improvement of surface drainage on the Post road at Fairfield Gen. ter and includes the installing of 1906 feet of reinforced concrete pipe, catch basins, manholes, etc. Another bridge project will take place in Middlebury with the con- struction of twelve foot span. "I' beam bridge. with reinforced con- crete slab over Swamp Brook on Route No. about one mile west of the Waterbury town line. Contractors sealed bids on the

city's street department and will al- low no autoist to knock his little push cart around. Yesterday after noon when big car started push ing his perambulator around Nick used his other symbol of trade his shovel and put two dents in the rear of the auto. <
 of course no autoist will stand for such treatmentito his car. When Jay Hirleman of Sunyside avenue, Oakville, leaped out of his machine and faced his aged and enraged an- tagonist there was little set-to. at least the police deducted that there was for Nick received a wall Iop on the nose and had to go to a doctor for repairs. The doctor found that the "beaker" was brok- en. Nick can figure that it was in defence of the city's property his refuse can and send the bill to Su- perintendent Thomas Fleming.
 Hirleman admitted. today that the collision between his auto and the push wagon was an accident. If Nick's nose was broken in the encounter that was also an accident for he made no attempt he claims to hit the aged man. r
 Patrolman James Brennan ar- rested both Hirleman and Nick and charged them with breach of the peace. Both sides presented evidence today and gave the three De Cicco brothers great chance to grab off generous portion of publicity for an unusual stunt. The three boys were great help to the accused and to the state.
 Attorney Pasquale DeCicco was counsel for Nick. Gustave DeCicco did the next best thing for Nick He was a witness for him. Now there's Peter DeCicco a little man physically, but a big gun in the Italian republican ranks. He's g president or something. Peter is also court interpreter and he in- terpreted for Nick.
 Judge T. V. Meyer after learning the details of the push wagon and the big auto with the dents sus- tained from the husky shovel blows on Nick's part and then was iTI- formed of the fractured nose, de- cided that there should be time out for the consideration of all these momentous facts. Decision was reserved until April 25.

WELL PROTECTS
ROOTS OF TREES

Gardeners who have observed the
activities in the Agricultural Depart
ment Grounds will be interested in the
following release from the press service
of the department:
Recognizing that tree roots must
breathe, Government tree specialists
have provided extra breathing facili-
ties for few large trees temporarily
remaining on the grounds of the De-
partment of Agriculture, where soil is
| being filled in around them in re-
grading the grounds.
Although soil was filled in to a
depth of several feet, the tree special
lists left windows open for the trees.
First they built stone wall around
| the trunk OF each tree, forming a well
from the top Of the fill to the former
base of the tree. The trunk bark of a
tree will not change to root bark, but
with most kinds soon rots if in contact
| with the soil. The well prevents this,
allowing air around the bark of the
tree at all times. The wall is of loosely
! piled rock, allowing air to penetrate to
| the soil around the wall.
The tree roots, which In the growth
OF the tree have adjusted themselves
| to certain leYels, will smother If a
thick layer OF dirt Is placed on top
of them. To prevent this the tree
men placed several layers of stone and
gravel around the base OF the tree, ex-
tending them out about 10 feet beyond
| the wall. At several points In this
| area drain tile are placed from the sur
face of the I'LL to the porous material
beneath. Air then reaches the soil
above the roots through this tile and

THE CALYX SPRAY

In very few weeks, perhaps days,
ol.r fruit trees will be coming into
bloom. This should mean more than a
period Of admiration, because at the
end OF blooming comes the psychological
time for fighting the codling moth and
other serious pests. In fact, If the home
gardener is able to spray only once
while the apple or pear trees are in
leaf or flower. the calyx spray should
be the one applied A combination of
lime sulphur with arSenate of lead gives
the spray power to kill both plant dis
eases and insect. Each 1915 gallons of
spray should contain one quart of LIQUID
commercial lime sulphur, about one
quarter pound of arsenate of lead pow-
DER and one pound of hydrated lime
The arsenate of lead should be mixed
to paste with water an hour or two
before using.
II one Is unable to secure the LIQUID
lime sulphur, II ounces of the dry mate
rial may be substituted for the quart of
liquid mentioned above. The spray
should be put on with a pump outfit
equipped with fine nozzles so that a
thorough distribution can be secured
without drenching The facts of the
matter are that the young codling
worms enter the apple or pear blooms
aOout Tie Time tne petals ran and De-
fore the calyx lobes close in together
II there Is poison present, the insect is
killed as it begins eating. Otherwise it
enters into the heart of the young
apple or pear with the result of worm
ridden fruit at harvest time. This one
calyx spray will not kill all the codling
moths, as there are later broods. but it
Will go long way toward the produc-
ton OF clean crop of fruit. LIQUID
lime sulphur may be secured In quart
or gallon cans from many of the numer-
Gus hardware and seed supply stores in
and about the city.
