TOWNSHIPS VOTE
ON FIRE TRUCKS
Farmers of Springfield and Com.
fey Communities Plan
to Fight Fires

At meetings held in Springfield
and Comfrey recently, the boards OF
surrounding townships discussed the
question of cooperating with the
Stark Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company in the purchase of fire
trucks for use in fighting farm fires.
Represented at the Springfield
meeting were Burnstown, Shutdown,
Brookville, Stately and North Stark.
County Commissioner John Gatzlatf
of Springfield explained the system
in use in Winona county.
The insurance company, at its an
nual meeting in Sleepy Eye last
month, offered to donate 5000 toward
the purchase Of a fire truck in each
community which voted to buy one.
All the board members who met in
Springfield favored the proposition
and they will submit the matter to a
vote in each township next month.
The Springfield fire company will
have charge of the truck and respond
to all alarms in the townships, max
ing a reasonable charge for its time.
In consideration for housing the
truck in the fire station, the city will
have the us eof the rtL.ck if needed.

Farmers Who Lease
Land to AAA Should
Not Expect Crop
Land Not to be Used to Increase
Production in Other Crops,
BOvee Explains

Farmers who have leased land to
the government under the corn-hog
or wheat reduction contracts should
not expect to raise substantial guam
titles of agricultural products on this
land during the period Of their leases,
according to Nate H. Bovee, the
county agent.
"a land owner who leased part of
his acreage to another person for a
high cash rental would not expect to
have the privilege of raising crops on
such land, even if the renter for some
reason were unable to crop it him
SELF" he says. "In the same way,
there is no valid reason why a land
owner should be allowed to lease his
land to the government for a hand
some consideration and then farm it
himself during the period Of the
lease.
"The prime purpose Of the agricul-
tural adjustment program is to re-
duce the production of all commodi-
ties that are needed to supply the
existing demand and afford farmers
a fair price. It will not help the
dairy farmer if the wheat raisers
who leased part of his land to the
government is allowed to put this
land into feed crops and go into the
dairy business; for reducing his herd
is allowed to replace feed crops with
wheat. The whole program must be
carried out in a spirit Of CO. S..eration
if it is to succeed.
"These programs offer farmers the
opportunity to get their land into
letter shape for future crops; to
build up their s.>reages of hay and
pasture crops which have been sew
erely reduced during the past few
years by drought and in the war per-
iod by the urge to grow cash crops.
They also will reduce the labor ex-
pense of farm operation"
Uses to which contracted Lard can
be put have been outlined by the Re-
placement Crops Section of the Agri-

STATE INCOME TAX
FILING time MOVED
FORWARD | MONTH
Litigation Forces Extension of
Time; Decision Expected
by April Is

Owing to the pending litigation re-
lative to the state income tax law the
tax commission has determined to ex-
tend the time for filing of all returns.
whether for corporations or indivld-
uals, to April Is. The commission
anticipates that before the date men
toned final adjudication of the pend
ing cases will have been made.
Every single person who is not the
head of a household is required to file
a return if his income is in excess or
$1,000; every married person VINO
lives with husband or wife and every
single person who is the head OF a
household is required to file a return
if his net income exceeds $4,000. II
husband and wife, living together,
make separate returns, this credit
may be divided between them.
The "head Of household is an
individual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more individuals who are closely con-
nected with him by blood relation
ship, marriage or adoption, and whose
right to exercise family control and
provide for these dependents is based
upon some moral or legal obligation
A credit of $3.50 is allowed for each
person (other than husband or wife,
dependent upon and receiving his
chief support from the taxpayer.
This credit is allowed to only one
taxpayer Dependents need not be re-
lated to, or live with the taxpayer.
This credit is based upon actual fin
ancial dependency and not mere legal
dependency. The test in the individ-
ual case is whether such so-called de-
pendent person receives one-half or
more of his support from the taxpay-
er.
The personal exemptions and cred
its for dependents must be determin-
CO by the taxpayers status on the
last day of his taxable year. In

as the next logical nominee for the post of United States senator on the democratic state ticket.
 Twenty Waterburians attended Wallingford gathering. MT Robin son, who is also president of the local Roosevelt-Cross club, pointed out that the Young Democratic or- ganization's attitude Is to accom- plish something without a contro- versy. He stressed the importance of having the younger element in the party given recognition by the state party leaders. Younger mem- bers of the party, he said, repre- sent the coming leaders in Connec- ticut as the parade of events pass es down through the years. There fore, MT Robinson declared, the young democrats should be given promotions in the party from time to time so as to keep them in touch with the vital matters con- corning the organization.
 The name of Congressman Ma loney was introduced Warden John P. Bridget of Wallingford as the "next United States senator from Connecticut. Other speakers included Congressman Maloney, himself, William M. Citron of Mid- dletown, Vincent D.

DIVING HOLSTERS
 SET NEW RECORDS
25O,OOO Assured This Summer Liver Dis-
 cOurages Cannibalism

Hartford, July 30.-A new liver diet and use of special tanks in which infant Holsters are taught to dive offer a solution of large scale artificial propagation of Holsters, the state board of fisheries and game announced today. Production this summer of 250,000 full fledged fourth stage Holsters for planting in Long Island Sound, largest number ever turned out at the Noank state lobster hatchery, is assured Charles l.. Rogers, ex- pert in charge of the work, has reported.
 The liver, fed every two hours night and day, has been found to aid in discouraging cannibalism, long a problem, among closely confined lobster fry. Diving prac- tice in the tanks, through which a rapid flow of sea water is main- tained, was found to promote rap i'd evolution.
 Appetites of the lobster young sters were stimulated by the con- stant exercise, it was noted, and within 20 days they had attained the fourth or diving stage when they were ready for matriculation to the sea, trained to outwit the hazards of hungry fish. Under normal conditions fry float about near the surface unable to dive to the cotton for concealment for as long as 40 days. The finishing school course cuts this period of development approximately in half Rogers report shows.
 Commercial fishermen at Ro- wayton, Guilford, Westbrook, Ni- antic. New London, Noanli and Stonington co-operated with the marine fisheries division in supply ing egg-bearing female Holsters for the propagation work. total of s1602,000 young Holsters have al- sready been planted in waters ad- jlcant to these localities. as com pared with production of 130,000 for the entire 1883 season of from June to September.
 In addition to lobster produc- ton, S0.000,0OO winter founder, or fat fish, fry and 25,000,000 shad fry have been propagated and dis tributcd this year.
