The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-27

Members of the Waterbury Natu- ralist Club and lovers of flowers throughout the country will grieve to learn of the death of pr. J. H. Nico- las of Newark, N. r., one of the Worlds most eminent rose author ities. His passing is of interest to countless armirers of his work in connection with the rose gardens of Elizabeth Park, Hartford, one of Connecticut's most widely advertised summer attractions. pr. Nicolas died suddenly Saturday morning.
 Notified
 The city of Hartford was formal ly notified of his passing in a tele- gram to E. A. Piester of the Hart ford Park department an intimate friend of Dr. Nicolas. They spent last Friday together surveying Elizabeth Park, pointing out various developments to Paul Enser, presi- dent of the Buffalo Rose Society. Dr. Nicolas was very proud of Eliz- abeth Park and manifested his in- terest and affection in the famous rose gardens by experimenting with several new varitieS of roses.
 According to MT. Piester, who is in charge of the garden. Dr. Nicolas did more than any other man out- side of Hartford to establish and further the development of this valuable and popular feature at Elizabeth Park.
 Native of France
 A native of France, Dr. Nicolas came, to this country follwing the war, and had been engaged cor- tinuously in developing new varities of roses. For several years he was research rosarian in association with the Jackson and Perkins Company one of the worlds largest growers and distributors of roses. Neon, Shenandoah, Carrillon, Yosemite Polar Bear and many other varitieS were of his origination.
 One of Dr. Nicolas's newest varie- ties. Snowbanuk, recently was awartl- ed a gold medal by the test garden judges at Elizabeth Park. It is Q large -flowered polyanthus of great purity of color, excellent form and vigor. It is the first pclyantus or cluster flower rose to be awarded a gold medal in Hartford.
 Achievements
 One of his most notable achieve. ments was the establishment of 8 new strain or race of hybrid tea roses having relationship to the species rose Nutkana which grows wild in the northwestern states, British Columbia and Southern Alaska. This new race Is repre- sented by the popular variety named Lenard Barron in honor of the in- cuimbent president of the American Rose Society.
 Dr. Nicolas was decorated by the French Government and elected to

 "A great many psychologists have said that unless we use what re. ligion we have we will lose It." Our enlightened common sense will con- firm that dictun. If we have any Christianity we must put 1t to work. A safe deposit box is a good place to keep certain kinds and sorts of val uable possessions. It is safest and best to keep certain things hidden away in a cool, dark place but the most valuable of all possessions, on the contrary, can only be kept by being used. There are some things that had best be saved from the ordinary wear and tear of life. Our Christian convictions, in complete contrast, must be tested and tried fro Ynday to day. The only possible way to make sure of these same convictions is to give them all the wear and tear possible"

Dent IS GIVEN YEAR
ON BAD CHECK COUNT
Sentencing Follows Failure of
Three Psychiatrists to Agree
on Sanity,

Following long battle as to his
sanity, Louis Dent, jr,. son of
prominent retired attorney, was SEN
fenced to one year in Jail by Police
Court Judge Edward NJ Curran yes
terday for passing $40 worthless
check on Homer Head, 1886 Con-
necticut avenue.
Before pronouncing sentence Judge
Curran heard testimony of three psy-
chiatrists, two Of whom said Dent
was not of sound mind in certain
respects and the other declaring that
he was mentally responsible for his
actions
Judge Curran held that since the
physicians could not agree, the court
had to assume responsibility and then
sentenced Dent to jail on the ground
that irresponsibility due to intoxica-
ton does not constitute insanity.
Dent appeared before Judge Curran
several months ago, at which time
his father, Louis A. Dent, ST., and
his attorney. George D. Horning, jr.,
asked that the case be continued for
. complete mental examination, and
1t was not until yesterday that the
case again reached court. Defense
counsel argued that young Dent was
the victim Of an irresistible impulse
and quoted decisions of higher courts
to the effect that an irresistible I'M
pulse Is a form OF insanity. Judge
Curran did not 50 hold

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press st.ttstir;er

NEW YORK, October Com.
n1ooity prices slumped into new low
ground for the year this week, with
industrial staples leading the down.
turn.
FROM the high point this year the
Associated Press weighted index of
80 important wholesale items has de-
clined IL per cent. This compares
with a rs per cent setback in stock
averages.
The commodity index dropped to
$3.50 from 8644 week ago and COM
pared with 8l.00 last year.
Metals set the pace. Copper pro-
ducers sliced IL cents from asked
prices, with business reported light.
Steel scrap broke more than q dollar
a ton to an average of $16.75 in
Pittsburgh and Chicago. Tin, lead and
zinc all wound up behind lower prices
at the week end.
Output Ahead Of Sales.
Weakness among metals stemmed
largely from the fact production has
been outstripping consumption, with
the result stocks have begun to ac-
cumulate. Many large users were said
IN trade circles to be working of in
ventories so that orders were meager,
despite the cut in quotas.
Other industrial raw materials fell
back, including rubber, turpentine
lumber and burlap. Bituminous coal,
on the other hand, firmed slightly.
Textile prices touched a new low
for the year and practically equaled
the bottom hit in 1886. Wool and
silk were both down. Part of the
recent decline. of course, has been
accounted for by the lowering of raw
material prices. Heavy inventories
also have been a factor in the opin-
ion Of analysts.
Farm Staples Higher.
With wheat sharply higher. and
cotton recovering slightly, agricultural
staples picked up a trif1e. Corn and
rye dipped. Live stock quotations
were firm, with a setback in hogs
somewhat more than balancing an
upturn in cattle and lamb.
Market basket items fell back some
what. Eggs, sugar, cocoa and coffee
more than offset strength in flour and
butter.
The index, with its component in
dices, based on 1925 as 100, compared
as follows:

Principles of Sound Business
Management That Apply =
to All Farms

An analysis made Of detailed records
kept by a group Of Wisconsin farms
revealed several important lessons and
the principles Of sound business man.
agement derived from them apply
equally well to other farms. says an
article In the Bulletin OF the Agricul.
tural Commission Of the American
Bankers Association. The article says:
Investment costs. including inter.
est. depreciation. repairs. taxes and in
surance. are approximately two-thirds
or all farm costs. Furthermore, these
costs are largely Independent of the
production program Of the farm.
This means that II q farmer cuts
his production Of crops or livestock
he increases his investment costs per
unit OF product produced, a. a smaller
number OF units must then carry es
large an expense load az before. This
illustrates the Importance, from the
standpoint OF costs, Of operating n
farm at or near capacity.
Investment mistakes are more cost.
ly than many others because they can.
not easily be corrected. II q farmer
pays too much for his farm, his invest
ment costs Will be abnormally high as
long as he owns 1t. II he constructs
$4,000 barn. when a $4,000 barn would
have served his purpose, he will have
excessive barn costs, year after year.
during the entire service life OF the
structure.
This emphasizes the Importance OF
a knowledge OF investment values and
the specific Investment requirements
OF individual farms.
Determining Real or False Economic.
In working for greater economy. It
Is essential that the farm manager be
able to distinguish between a real and
a raise saving. This can be done only
through careful estimate OF the con.
tribution to income. over a period ~
time. OF each Item Of expenditure. Onlv
IL more Is saved In expense than will
be lost In income. can a contemplated
cut In expense be designated as a real
saving
For example, dropping dairy herd
Improvement work may result in a
yearly expense reduction. The oues-
ton TO decide Is what effect the drop.
ping OF this work will have on the
present and future income from the
dairy herd. II the estimated loss in live
stock receipts due to lowered eff.
cheney In feeding and breeding is
greater than the original saving, then
1t would obviously be false economy.
substantial savings can be effected
on many farms through the use OF
more home grown garden produce and
farm cured meats. Why pay out money
TOR products OF this kind that can be
produced much cheaper at home? The
money saved from the family food
bsdget can be used for the purchase OF
many things that will make the farm
home a more comfortable and pleasant
place to i've" -. :
