 storrs, Local Agent)
 Wednesday, Jan. 27-It is re- ported that the East Shore and Norfolk areas in Virginia have ex- perienced the warmest winter for many years which has resulted in the rapid growth of truck crops. Cabbage acreage in the area is about 10 per cent less than last year, but growth has been unusual ly rapid, the. appearance of the crop now being equal to what it normally is in March. Should the mild weather continue, the crop will be ready much earlier than usual
 Much of the spinach in the area which was planned to carry over winter has already been marketed. This will reduce, to some extent, the acreage expected for next spring. Spring platings of spin ach are expected to be short of a year ago by about 25 per cent.
 Strawberry acreage in the same sections is estimated at 20 to 25 per cent greater than last year and the crop as whole has come through the winter in fine shape. Some varieties have been blooming for several weeks which will mean some decrease in yield next spring if cold weather later destroys these early blossoms. .
 (Unless otherwise stated quota tions are based on sales of good merchantable products to retailers by wholesalers or nearby produc- ers)

 in East End
Valuable Animal Belong ing to George Knowles

ToRRINCToN

Before completely recovering from the effects of their all night fight with the Agard building blaze Monday night, the Torrington fire men were again called out to answer an alarm for a blaze in the former Rialto theater building, now known as the Italian Labor society hall. The fire started in the cellar under the Italian-Amer- ican grocery, which occupies one of the stores on the ground floor. The ffremen managed to keep the blaze confined in the cellar but considerable damage was done by smoke to the goods. The Torring- ton Retiring company, the other store on the ground floor, received but very little damage by the damage by the blaze.
 The cause of the blaze was un- known but it was believed that one of the employees in the store threw . discarded match in rubbish heap in the cellar. Because this fire was somewhat similar to the Aeard building blaze, a report was started that it was the work of some s.fire- bug" who was operating in this vicinity, but Chief Palmer stated that he did not believe this to be the case. but was of the 0pinion that 1t was merely a coinci- deuce that two fires occurred with in 24 hours.
 The Rialto building is owned by the Italian Labor society. The damaGe was estimated at about &1. .OO0. Three trucks responded to the alarm. To Oppose Wilby:

BUILDINGS RUINED
| BY WEIRD BEETLES
English Scientists Seek Ex-
termination of death
Watch" Dsstroyers.

LONDON, June l5.-In an attempt
10 md a means Of destroying the death
watch beetle, the greatest foe Of ancient
woodwork, especially oaken beams, the
Forest Products Research Laboratory at
Princes Risborough is anxious to obtain
several colonies of these insects.
Two colonies have been successfully
maintained there for the last two years
or more. They are at work night and
Gay on four tons of timber. But the
research workers are anxious to secure
a larger supply in an effort to find the
period in the life cycle Of the insect
when 1t can be most successfully attack
ed and the most effective weapons which
can be used against it.
Active in School Library.
Recently 1t was found that the death
watch beetle had become active in the
oaken beams Of the library at West
minister School, adjacent to WeStmin-
ster Abbey. 1t was only at q cost of
thousands OF pounds that the oak roof
OF the historic Westminster Hail. the
Oldest part of the Parliament buildings
was rid of the pest, but not until after
great damage had been DONE
This hall, apart from the Tower of
AoANOii dliu w cSlIIllIlSIer ABBEY, Is con-
sidered to be the most historic edifice
In London. 1t was begun by William
Rufus in 1897. and enlarged by his
successors. The oak roof was added in
the reign of Richard II. 1t was found
necessary to reinforce the ravaged tim
Der with steel.
Trial Of Charles I.
1t was in Westminster Hall that
Charles I was tried and condemned,
and here also at later dates were held
the trials Of William Wallace, Lord
Gotham, Sir Thomas More, the Pro-
tector Somerset, the Earl of Essex, Sir
Thomas Wyatt. Guy Fawkes, the Earl
OF STAFFORD, the seven bishops and
Warren Hastings
Constant war against the death
watch beetle Is being waged In many
other edif1ces in the country. particu-
larry In some Of the ancient cathedrak
OF the North.
