Malaria Rolled! No Deaths From Dis. ease tn Connecticut in Four YeaEs--
 1l3 Died in
 1896.

Connecticut has not had Q death due to malaria since 1888, when there was only one death from that cause, and because of the fa. voTable climate has steadily re- duced It's malaria mortality rate since the disease took ll3 lives in 1906, 1t is shown in tables contain ed in the weekly bulletin of the state department of health.
 In the last l8 years and through Il months of 1887, the number Of cases of malaria in this state was S34, with less than ten having been reported in every year from 1928 to 1887, inclusive. Only seven cases were reported last year and up to the present time this years total Is four cases.
 In other parts of the world, par. ticularly in the tropical and Semi- tropical counties, however, ma laria is one of the most wide- spread and devastating diseases of the present day. Connecticut is far enough north to escape to e large extent this disease which Is spread by anopheleS mosquitoes.
 Malaria Is more prevalent in this climate in the summer and fall when mosquitoes are plentiful. Three species of pariSiteS cause three different kinds or types of malaria. The mildegt Is the tertian which causes chill every other day and which Is more prevalent in the temperate zone. Some cases of tropical malaria are Sub- ject to relapses which may occur when changing from 6 warm to a cold climate. This, the bulletin said, may be an explanation of why q person coming from Q tropi- cal country to the temperate Done in the winter occasionally ap- pears to develop malaria after ar rival. '
 The essential preventive measure against malaria Is the avoidance of being bitten by mosquitoes of the anopheleg variety. Mosquitoes Of other kinds, while annoying, do not convey malaria from one per. son to another. Mosquito cXter. !n!nation procedures are designed to protect people agal1st the nuiS. ance of being bitten by mosquitoes and also against the danger Of contracting malaria from such bites,

FARM HARVEST
 TO AGGREGATE ALL TIME HIGH
Economists Believe Total Production Never Again
 May Be EQuaIIed
BY FRED BAILEY

(Untted Press Stan C0rrespOndeMt)
 Washington, December l.--(Up)-- The United States this year will approximate the all-tiSne peak of farm productivity, economists of the Department of Agriculture be. Neve.
 None of the major crops estab- hshed an all-tirne record this year, but taken in the aggregate proc duction was estimated ct only 6 per cent below the record year of 1920. Economists believe 1t may never again be eQualled.
 Estimated cotton production of 17,573,000 bales is the second larg. est on record and within 100000 bales of the peak crop of 1928. Production of 240 pounds per acre was by far the largest on record.
 Corn production, estimated at 2,661, 100000 bushels, is one of the largest on record. The yield per acre approximates the all time high. The wheat crop of Se6,S0S,. 900 bushels Is the seventh largest ever produced. Oats production was about average.
 Minor Crops Flourish
 Bumper crops were produced In rye, rice, peanuts, apples, peaches, grapes, oceans, potatoes, sugar beets and other crops which, while relatively minor, add millions of dollars to farm income.
 The trend in agricultural pro. duction was rapidly upward until 1928 and was stationary from 1928 to 1881. It was notably down. ward from 1881 until this year.
 The decline Is attributed by Dr. O. '. Baker, department ecoflo- mist, to drouth, low prices for farm products, reduced production under Agricultural Adjustment pro. grams, depletion of soil fertility and decline in rural wealth.
 This years extraordinary pro" duction is attributed to abnormal. ly favorable weather. increased production per acre resulting from improved farming practices and high prices induced by low reserve stocks of most farm products.
 Production More in Line
 .AulGIlCAII UBBtCuIvuAV Ao oAhAAV from mass production" methods to more intensive cultivation. Pro. duction per farm worker had declined from 1926 until 1oa7. Production is being more nearly adjusted to demand than ever before.
 National farm legislation is ex- pScted to result in @ more even production. ScarcitieS, which re- suit in higher prices and are rec flected in larger plantings the iol- lowing year, will be eliminated, economists believe.
 A more constant level of pro. dwction, adjusted to demand, with fluctuations caused only by wea- tiier condition, Is expected. Thus, economists argue, this country may never again experience the huge crops of this year.

There are Winter memories, too: where icicles had taken the place of grandfnas beloved morn. ing.glorieS, and our birds were touring iTl the South, es my love- ly ladies said--but the music of the sleigh. .bells is still ringing in my ears; and my delight ill wad. ing waiSt-deep in the snow was only second to my delight in wad- ing in the Summer fields of grass and clover and dardelions and buttercups and daisies.
 The supreme joy of the small boy at that time was-the possess sion and wearing of his first boots --the same as big.men's boots, only better because his had red. tops and copper.toes. The same old thrill comes back to me when I think of 1t, and remember how I looked and felt in my first boots--and other items of my winter apparel. There was the the little blue overcoat with cape and brass buttons to match my sol. dier-cap, that my mother and grandma hade made for Santa Claus to give me; and the warm, red Inittens that grandma had knit, and the comforter with the hright. .colored stripes and fringed e1ds--that we boys used as Q decoration for our stoinachs In. stead of a protection for our necks winding and looping it around us with the fringed ends dang . ling behind. And underneath it all, the small boys tender young skin was kept in c state of acute agitation by its contact with his fuzzy red flannes.
 Winter Clothes
 The mention of Winter clothes reminds me how handsome my lovely ladies looked in their long mink cloaks and inuffs, aS l, in my redoubtable boots, proudly escorted them to church, or to the post-office, or railroad station or grocery or drug.store-which, I have not forgotten, carried an

Tn those days people living any considerable distance from the sea, did not get their oysters In bulk. but they did get an excellent quality of oysters iEl tin cails--- and the liquor that came ih the can was as important As the oys. ters in making . stew.

 Connection
 First she poured all the con. tents of the can into a large blue china bowl. Then she took q big spoon with little holes iii the bot- tom and moved the oysters, one by one, over into . separate blue china bowl. After that she got out her stewing.pan, gave 1t a thor. ough cleansing. wiped it dry and poured iti A quantity of half milk and half creArfi-.a1d set on the hot stove. When 1t began to bub- bie she emptied in the liquor from the first blue-bowl and let 'ei>n sixEle for 6 while. Meantime she was stirring 1t with the big spoon and putting in chunks of butter and sprinking 1t with fine salt and red.pepper; and ell the while was prancing around and we were making coinical faces at each other. And only minute be" fore it was ready to serve did shc pour in the oysters from the oth- CT blue-bowl.
 Another thing that added to the perfection of the old.fasllioned .stew--was the old.fashion- cd, brittle, round crackers; which seem to have disappeared with the incompatible 'peach.blow' potato.
