KENT PASTURE
HAY ACREAGE
Survey Made Under Direction
of Russell E. Wilson, the
County Agent
INCREASE IN LEGUMES

In the agricultural extension
program which has been carried on
in Kent county during the past
several years for the improvement
of pasture and hay crops, special
consideration has been given by
County Agent Russell E. Wilson to
projects for increasing the legume
acreage on those farms where such
crops are needed for livestock feed
and soil fertility purposes. OF the
various legumes which are being
grown in Kent county for hay pro-
duction, alfalfa, scarlet clover and
soybeans take the lead, while les
pedeza, sweet clover and the diff
ferent grass crops are being seeded
for pasture and soil improvement.
Along with the development of the
soil conservation program many
inquiries are received at the coun-
ty extension office with reference
to those crops which are included
as soil conserving and soil depict
ing, and no doubt this new agricul-
tural program will result in in
creased paintings Of legumes and
other land improvement crops.
Since 1927 the growing of more
and better alfalfa has been regard
ed as an important project, the re-
suits of which have ben obtained
each year by surveys of seed dis
tribution. From this information
the seeded acreage has been esti-
mated, and the same procedure
was followed later with sweet clov-
er and scarlet clover. The sweet
clover surveys started in 1928,
while scarlet clover was not added
to the list until 1881, and this past
year was the first time that les
pedeza has been included in these
surveys. According to these rec
ords, scarlet clover remains the
leading hay crop i'll Kent county,
for there were 1850 acres grown
this past year, as compared to
653 acres of alfalfa, 210 acres of
sweet clover, and 1,210 acres of
lespedeza, resulting in a total of
6,753 acres of these four legumes.
In addition to these crops, there is
a large acreage planted each year
to soybeans, cowpeas, red clover,
yetch, and other soil improvement
and feed crops for which no survey
records have been secured. These
figures, therefore, represent but a
portion of the crops which are be-
ing grown in Kent county

The re-interviewing of some 2,50O persons in the Waterbury district on relief files at the Connecticut state employment office will start this afternoon, two days ahead of sched- ule, 1t was announced by Manager Thomas I. Shea this morning.
 Inasmuch as the present work period of the WPA ceases this noon, these men will be interviewed first. The local manager stated between this afternoon and September 9, the start of the new work period, he expects to complete 200 inter- views.
 The men will report to the offlce according to 8 time schedule and each interview will take about 15 minutes. The men will go through the same kind of questioning as they did when they were first placed on the files at the office. New cards will be filed when 1t is necessary to do so.
 In addition to members of the WPA on relief at the present time, all other persons on relief not em- ployed at the present time will also be interviewed.
 The purpose of the re-interview of all relief persons, other than those listed as unemployed, Is to determine the changes, if any, in connection with the adaptability of person. Some who will be ques- toned have not reported at the of- flee for more than two years and during that period it is likely many of them have learned new trades or have become qualified for work

PERFECT RECORD. MARRIED BY FINE.
Failing to See Red Signal Light Upset 22-Year
 Mark

Frank J. Trenka, 55, of l36 Orange street, decided to fight charge oi passing a red light in city court today but was fined two dollars and costs by Judge John F. McGrath despite his strenuous protest. Tren- ka was arrested by Patrolmap Joseph Clark late yesterday afternoon at the intersection of Grand and South Main streets.
 Patrolman Clark said Trenka had failed to stop for the light and that while he was aiding pedestrians tc cross the street he had to jump tc one side to avoid being struck by the mans car. He said he had warned Trenka about passing the light on a previous occasion.
 Trenka declared he had never been warned by the officer before and cited an unblemished driving record which dated back to 1914 as proof of his carefulness. He said he had stopped halfway across the intersection when the light was green because there were cars both in front and behind his own.

 The local delegation, led by War den John J. Sheridan, is required to vote as a unit by measure passed at the town convention here. It is known that Warden Sheridan is op- posed to MT. Smith but just what action he can take through the local delegation to show his opposition is not known.
 Local residents are wondering whether the warden will try to hurt Congressman Smiths chances here when the campaign tarts. The war den claims that he was one of the first to support Mr. Smith two years ago and maintains he recevied no recognition for this.
 whether he will refuse to let the local delegation vote at the conven- ton for MT. Smith remains to be seen,

 School officials are hopeful that no afternoon classes will be neces- sary. The superintendent believes that soon several will drop away this being usually the case each year, and thinks this will relieve the congestion sufficiently.
 The study hall has been made tc give additional space, more chairs having been placed there. Temporary seats have been added to some class rooms. The new Walsh -Healy law not permitting any youth under 1t years of age from working on goods produced for the government is be- lieved to have been one of the req sons for the increase. It is thought some students who ordinarily might go to work in the U. s. Rubber company cannot find work there be- cause of this law and are therefore attending school.
