dicted yesterday considerable in
crease in cattle feeding in corn belt
States this winter and next spring

GOOD Time FOR.
WORK IN GARDEN.
ANIMALS and PerenniaIS
Can Be Planted
By JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor


Whether your proprietorship Of
flowers consists Of a window box
or 49, acres of aquilegia and rud-
beckia, now is the time to prepare
your garden for next year.
Most folk Boosting Of a few
beds Of alyssum or viola erupt
into a frenzy Of digging and plant
ing only in the Springtime. BY
october they have either lost a bit
Of their interest or feel any work
in the garden Is wasted.
AS q result, their plots of liliace-
GUS bulbs or gaillardia bloom later
and often more sparingly than
those Of neighbors who have
found the fall a productive occas-
ion for spading, seeding, rearrang-
ing and transplanting.
PLANT ANIMALS
Here's an example. OF the two
ways Of securing earlier blossom
ing Of many ANIMALS, one is to
plant them now. In this climate
many Of the seedlings will survive
the winter nobly, and face the
spring with roots already strong
and settled. Examples are cove
opsis, petunia, candytuft, nico-
tiana and portulaca.
Dozens of hardy perennials can
still be dug, divided and replanted,
making three or four plants where
one grew before. This is especially
true Of rock garden varieties.
Changes in the general contour
Of the garden can best be made
now. Even If it means destroying
a few cosmos, aSterS or zinnias
in bloom, the digging of that pool
or the construction Of a rockery
should be started today.
DIG UP TULIPS
OF course, everybody knows that
tulips and daffodils and hyacinth
and crocus should be bedded this
month, if they are to brighten the
landscape in spring. But often
one forgets to dig up the existing
beds Of tulips once every three
JCd4SB Ill G44C 4ck44S w O4N4OC OAAC4AAs
Separation Of lily of the valley,
and even such plants as vinca
(myrtle) and violets is normally
successful at this time.
Today is also suitable for plant
ing Of many shrubs, such as
privet and deutzia. And it has
long been proven that roses placed
in thu ground in the fall are al
most invariably more snowy than
those planted in the spring.
Probably most Of the average
persons energy in March and
April, rather than September and
October, is due to the quickening
of ones hopes and imagination
when the first buds appear. But
don't let ignorance or supersti-
ton prevail against the benefits
Of the many garden activities best
handled as the leaves begin to
change in color.

HOW TO
REPAIR MIRROR

Mirrors, besides being necessary,
have great decorative value in a
home.
Streaks or discolorations appear
ing on their surfaces quickly de-
stroy their artistic and unitarian
worth. These Disbursements are
caused by the seeping of moisture
through the coating on the back.
Paint, shellac, and silvering are
not entirely irnpervious to moiS-
ture, while copper backing remains
unspoiled by steam or dampnesS.

Prepare Surface
Before Painting

Regardless of the kind Of paint
or varnish finish you are apply
ing the surface to be finished
must be in proper condition or
the results will be disappointing.
Your painter will be glad to sug-
gest necessary precautions. Or, if
you are doing the job yourself, ask
your paint dealer for advice.

PLAN GROUNDS, TOO

The proper setting is essential
to complete the beauty Of a
house. In planning a house care
full thought must be given to the
grounds as well. The result will
have a more satisfactory well.bal-
anced effect If the landscaping
can be worked out at the same
time the house is being built.

Pure Water, Pure Air

Members of the Smoke Prevention As- sociation in New York recently were shown a machine that will take 90.5 per cent of all solid impurities out of the air. Experimental installations, it was said, had been very successful in keeping buildings clean, as an aid in the treat ment of hay fever and asthma and in cer- tain difficult air cleaning applications in industry" The device permits definite measurements of impure solids in the air as basis for legislation to prohibit them. It will facilitate establishment of maxi mum and minimum standards as to vol umes and densities of dust and other solid matter polluting the air.
 Smoke control is only one phase of the work of keeping the air clean and health full. There are other fumes, gases and solid materials which are harmful to human lungs and injurious to vegetation, machinery, paint finishes, and so on. Their removal depends chiefly on pre- vention at the source. A time will come, says an air pollution consultant, when the public will enjoy the same protection against impure air that 1t now has against impure water This means outside, in cities, not merely indoors in air-condi- toned rooms.

Thousands All Around Elm

Although the late Legislature passed bill providing over quarter of million dollars for expansion and development of Sherwood Island State Park in the Town of Westport, the site right now in use is smaller than what was available for the public last year. And this is irk- some to the many residents who have started thronging to this shore resort in greater numbers this season than last. We presume, however, that the state has not yet got around to the point where the $350,000 available has started ito talk.
 It seems year ago the state, in addi- tion to leasing piece of property adjacent to that it owns on Sherwood Island, also rented considerable section. It has not rented this portion this year and won't, for it intends to buy it. But until the transaction goes through the state is de- prived of the use of one-third of the l936 bathing beach and one-half of the 1886 picnic area. We sincerely trust that the State Park aisd Forest Commission will do all in it's power to speed up the com- pletion of the entire shore-park.
 We read from news dispatches that a fence is being built to show the dividing line between public and private property. This will remain until all negotiations have been completed and the state has paid over it's purchase price. We hope the mere fact that the General Assembly made so large an amount as $350,O00 available for expansion and development won't act as an impeachment to peaceful settlement of terms. Oftentimes such a procedure is apt to spur the individual to sharper bargaining In this instance we trust that the delay is more or less technical and not due to failure to agree on settlement

Silk Machines, Worms

Japan has won leadership in rayon production from the United States, pro- ducing last year 320 100000 pounds to our 90,000,000, and one-fourth of the whole worlds output. Thus the Japanese show again their ingenuity in initiating the industries and arts of other nations Great quantities of American cotton now go to Japan, to be processed and returned to us in the form of this artificial silk. It is possible economically because of the in- credibly low wages of Japanese workers.
 Rayon production now far surpasses silk production. It might be assumed, therefore, that the Japanese, who have always been great silk producers, are de- stroying one of their own major indus tries by adopting western machines in- stead of worms to turn cellulose into silk. But as matter of fact, they are produc- ing and selling more natural silk than ever. Lovers of fine silk still buy it.
 The difference is merely this - that millions of people throughout the world who could not afford the real silk, are able to buy the substitute. The market has grown with astonishing rapidity along with the improvement of the arti- ficial silk. Even so, it is doubted whether the machines can ever do the job so well
 as the worm. Nature still has some secrets she refuses to reveal.

Welcome, Vets!

Waterbury still continues to play an important part in the lives of the World War Veterans of Connecticut. Today, to- morrow, and Sunday this city plays host to the state encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. It is good to see the streets thronged with representatives of the many posts in this state and to know that there are still so many men inter- ested in the organizations which carry on for them the many lasting friendships formed during the trying days of 1917 and 1918.
 Waterbury is always glad to play host to any organizations meeting for annual convention purposes We retain a par ticularly warm regard, though, for the ex-servicemen. After all we owe so much to them today that we can afford to do all in our power for them. The coming generations are not as war conscious as those of us who went through it. It is necessary for this latter group to keep alive the memory of the sacrifices our soldiers made.

Deserved Promotion

The election of Charles L. Campbell as president of the Connecticut Light and Power Company was well received in Waterbury. People of this city knew and respected MT. Campbell when he was sta tioned here. They still recall him and hold pleasant thoughts oi him. His advance ment to the top post in the field that has been his for thirty-five years is certainly just reward for faithful and competent service.
 We feel sure that under his supervision the concern will continue to be a leader among public utilities and that the state which 1t services will find no fault to complain about. We trust that his en- deavors in the future will be to give in return to the people the service to which they are entitled and at the same time all the consideration developing from business of this type.

Multiple Autographs

A non-collector sometimes feels a little confused about autographs and their value to enthusiasts. Now that authors go to book stores and autograph great piles of their own works, the ultimate value of one such signature, or dozen of them, appears to be- chiefly sentimental. Then there are the celebrities and the movie stars whom signature-seeker nearly crush as they press forward In hrongs proffering note books or scraps If paper on which the actor is expected 70 write his name over and over.

Norfolk is quite alarmed over recent hearing at Hartford at which permission was asked of the Interstate Commerce Commission to allow the New Haven road to abandon it's branch line running from Winsted through Norfolk to East Canaan. + you've never enjoyed this train ride, it's one you missed. We recall trip on 1t some fifteen years ago that was quite thrill for those days. In recent years the road has come into its own as the route for the "snow trains" out of Grand Central station in New York The "snow trains" to Norfolk would naturally be eliminated if the line is permanently closed. However, the roadbed might still be maintained and if this was the case, 1t would still be possible to run "snow trains" over 1t just as many of the lines now every week or twice month send special trains over little-used spurs and branches This has worked out to good advantage and attracted considerable patronage.

A Charming Picture of New Hampshire
 BY BRUCE CAPTION


 The prizcd tradition of America is the conquest of the wilder negS; the replacing of forests with clearins, with farms and towns risln in lands where the deer and bear had made their homes. He often overlook the fact that in many sections the reverse Is tak- ing place = towns are dwindline, farms are being abandoned, and the forest and itS wild creatures are taking possession of country that formerly was settled and cultivated.
 This sort of thing is going on in some of the hill country of New Hampshire, and you get q glimpse at 1t in Cornelius Weygand'B charming book, New Hampshire Neighbors' (Holt: $3B0).
 MT. Weygand bought an old New Hampshire farmhouse some 20 years ago and made 1t his sum more home. Tn this book he tells about the New Hampshire coun- tryside. about It's people and its legends and It's serene haunting beauty: he has much to say about the mountain slopes where aban- doned orchards are growing up In pine trees. about he grassy pits that mark the site of old farmhouse cellars, about lonely roads that were lined with proS- porous farms half a century ago.

Here's how they do it down in little old New York. John "Kiki' Costello, we'll known Gothamite in certain circles where guns are said to be yielded, was killed the other night. "Kiki' was as tough as they make him, but that didn't prevent him from showing parental interest in his year-old baby boy. He took him out for stroll in his carriage the other eve- ming and was humming lullaby to the baby as he wheeled 1t along Two men stepped out of New Jersey auto, took carful aim above the carriage and shot "Kiki" dead At least they were careful not to hit the youngster.

This paving business in Waterbury is going to sort of revolutionize the town. When they get through with 1t, there probably won't be a trolley rail left on our city streets. That's as 1t should be so long as there's to be no service. It's long time since our streets were clear of rails and, in fact, many of us can recall when they were putting the rails down to extend the service.
