Connecticut Is Not Prepared To Follow,
 Lacking Legislation
Special Session of General Assembly May Be Called to
 Pass Necessary Laws - I936 First Taxable Year For Unemployment Insurance Levies Under Act

Waterbury business men today prepared to meet the payroll levy required by the federal government under the Social Security Act ap- Jparently still more than . little con. fused as to some of the terms oi the measure. This is the first tax able year for the unemployment in- Suraiice levies under the Social Se- cugsty Act, which became effective yesterday.
 Every employer of eight or more persons, except parents employed by their children, and children em- ployed by their parents, public ern- plOyeb, agricultural labor, domestic servants and employees of non-profit organizations such as churches, must pay the levy.
 Several inquiries were received ct the Oface of the Democrat this morning relative to terms of the act. Ccnfust0n exists particularly in re- gard to state legislation required by the federal government in order for c state to share In the benefits of the measure. No such legislation has been enacted in Connecticut and it is considered possible that Q special session of the General As- sembly might be called for the spe- sific purpose of passing the neces- SaFy laws.
 ssaChusetts Ready
 The District of Columbia and eight states are listed as the only ones prepared for the start of the new program. The states are Ala- baFna, California, Massachusetts New Hampshire, New York, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
 The tax is not payable until af- ter January 1, 1887, and the first benefits to the unemployed will not Do until the following year. Em- ployers must keep . check on pres- cribed records, however, as of Jan- uaTy list, yesterday.
 In the few states which have en- acted necessary legislation, the em- ployed may deduct from his federal tax the amount he has paid into a state unemployment fund, Up to % per cent.
 Labor union leaders are reported to Do worried as to the effect of the tex on the workingman. They point out that employers might de- duct the amount of the one per cent payroll levy from the wages of em- ployes.

THE FLUSHING BAR

We take this opportunity to appeal
to the farmers and agriculturists of
our State to help conserve wildlife,
especially ground-nesting birds by
using the flushing bar, as this
method will save thousands of par
ent birds and their young If the
farmers and agriculturists of our
State will use the flushing barr
which is a very simple device and
very inexpensive, l am sure they will
be benefited by the numbers of birds
and eggs saved, at least 800 of our
feathered tribe are beneficial to the
farmers and agriculturists in assist
ing in conserving their crops by de-
stroying obnoxious weeds and insects.
The flushing bar" consists of a.
light pole about 10 or IL feet long,
attached cross-wise. the end of the
tongue lashed to the yoke, projecting
out ahead of the cutting blade. From
this pole you may suspend short
wires to the ends of which have at
tached short lengths of old chain
Gold cross-links of auto chains are
excellent The ends of the chains
should just drag near the ground SO
that in moving, they will slip lightly

over and thru the grass or grain. In
order to prevent the inner chain
from tangling in tn ehorse's feet
when turning, diagonal wire should
be run from the middle of the pole
to the outside chain, attaching it
about one-half way down the inner
wire. Or, you may attach burlap
bags to the pole in front of the now
ing blade by placing some small
stones or old bolts or any kind of
scrap iron in these bags to hold them
in position. and the grOund-nesting
birds will be flushed before the NOW
er blade arrives at the point where
the nest is located.
The best means of attaching the
pole to the tongue of the mower or
binder, is to make up two brackets
of old scrap iron in the form of
right angle, each arm about Is
inches long. These should be drilled
for Is inch bolts by which they are
attached to the tongue. The pole
may then be fastened by means of
bolts or wired to these brackets, how
ever, If you do not want to go to this
trouble, wire or wrap with heavy
cord, the pole cross-wise the yoke.

HOG CHOLERA IN STATE

Hog cholera was reported on only
20 premises in Maryland during the
months of January, February, March
and April, which is relatively small
number for this period of time.
Following the disastrous Spring
foods, it was anticipated that hog
cholera and other animal diseases
might cause severe losses. These
fears were apparently groundless, at
least as far as hog cholera is con-
cerned, for in virtually every in
stance recorded it was caused by the
carelessness of man rather than the
untamed elements. In fact, virtually
all outbreaks of hog cholera must
receive the aid of man if they are to
occur at all. 1t is disease of hogs
and hogs only so far as we know, and
the virus causing it must be trans
ported In live, sick hogs, in the It's
sues of hog slaughtered during the
incubative stages of the disease, or
in the bottle of virus used in the
serum-virus treatment. There are
minor exceptions to the above
sources but they have virtually no
significance when compared to these
major causes of hog cholera out
breaks.

the knives of the mower or binder,
leaving part of grass or grain
around the nest. The bird will re-
turn to the nest. AS ground-nesting
birds, especially the bob-white, seem
to prefer hay and grain fields for
establishing their homes, it is very
important that flushing devices be
used, and in this manner the farmers
can render very valuable service,
not only for their own benefit but
their action will conserve wildlife.
A number of our farmers OF
Maryland have cooperated with us for
the past three years in using this
flushing bar and they have informed
us great benefit has been derived,
especially thru the saving of large
numbers of bob-white nests.

W. N. A. 11-FRANKLN DAY 2
By c. K. VAUGHAN

Thursday, 21st, saw West Noting
ham engage in a return game with the
Franklin Day diamond men down on
the latter's field in Baltimore, and
emerge with an ILL., win.
Both teams scored in the first inning
each gaining a brace of tallies and
as many hits. Then two frames of
scoreless ball followed. In the third
Fulton, second sacker for the Balti-
moreans, crossed the rubber for lead
run on a Texas pop by Morgan.
The fifth inning put the Maroon
ahead by a scant margin when Respess
brought Downey and Reynolds home
the latter registering on an error. The
sixth inning was a blank one with
little or nothing taking place.
Four runs were added to the Not
tingham account after the seventh
was concluded-Owens, Humphreys,
Roush, and Byrd scored. Byrd and
Emery both hit well on this occasion
During this period Huston managed
to add lone counter for Franklin Day
when he was brought in by the bat of
Langood The last of the Maroon
scoring barrage was in the eighth
when Owens and Respess crossed on
terrific two-way slam by Bill Reyn-
olds. The losers were shut out dur
ing this inning, but made three runs in
the ninth when Hax and Chimenson
tallied-and so did Benson only after
he had stopped out a hard riding
double.
The smuggling honors go to Fulton
for a round tripper in the fourth; and
to King, Benson and Huston for their
two-ply blows. Benson was pretty
consistent for his getting three for
five. Emery was high-man for hits for
Humphreys had an easy day on the
mound when he whitfield 10 and per-
mitted several pop-ups.

HER FAITH is SPEAKING TO
US STILL
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Wife's faith conversed with angels,
In her heart, and SOUL and will;
Lives on forever and evermore,
And is speaking to us still.
Her faith could see the light ahead,
No cloud her faith could dim.
Trusting in God for all things,
Still speaks to US her glorious faith
in Him.
Her faith, what a blessed treasure;
Worth more than fame or gold,
As the evening shadows lengthen,
And life's tale is almost told.
Her faith in every promise;
For wife none ever could fail;
All secure in Gods blessed keeping,
Until safe within the vale.
Some day, in that beautiful city,
Where all is fair and bright,
To be with our loved ones forever,
And faith has been turned into sight.
