ENGINEER TALKS
 TO GRAND JURY
State Highway Depart ment Official Tells of
 Merritt Road Buying

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 2-CUP)- State highway department project engineer Warren M. Creamer re- stunned his testimony before an ex- traordinary grand jury today as it pushed its inquiry into the $6,000, 900 right-of- purchases by the state for the 32 mile Merritt Parkway.
 Creamer, who was on the witness stand all day yesterday, said his testimony concerned general engi- neering details" of the $20,000,000 super-highway. He was the eighth witness called since the grand jury began it's investigation a week ago.
 The chief witness of the inquiry thus far was Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald whose 15-year administration of highway affairs was under questioning.
 Cooke Uncertain
 Uncertain today was whether Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich real tor and former agent of the late Percy S., and William A. Rockefel- Ter, would insist upon refusing to testify before the jury.
 A second subpoena was served on Cooke yesterday ordering him to appear Feb. 6 with all documents concerning parkway negotia tions in which he acted as agent. Cooke ap- peared yesterday with counsel and intimated he would dispute the right of the jury to unlimited ques- tioning.
 Scores of witnesses remained to be heard before the jury concludes it's deliberations. However, in &C., cordance with the charge of Su- perior Court Judge Carl Foster, it may return an indictment against anyone upon evidence of probable cause of a criminal act.

 BOSTON AROUSED

Boston, Feb. 2-(UP)-A roundup of all suspicious persons was or dered by Police Commissioner Jo- seph F. Timilty today after three bandits kidnapped and robbed a Foxboro State Hospital doctor at Boston Garden, used his automob- bile in $700 payroll robbery and escaped police in 8 wild chase through five greater Boston cities.
 The trio stepped behind Dr. David Rothschild, 40, outside North Station last night as he unlocked his automobile after purchasing hockey game ticket. At gunpoint they robbed him of $20 and forced him to lie in the tonneau with a rug thrown over his head.
 In Charlestown he was roughly pushed to the street and the youths sped away. He walked to a nearby police station and was reporting the robbery when police were called to the Whiting Milk company less than a mile away, where three youths held up Arthur Lacroix, 40, a clerk and robbed him of payroll envelopes containing $700.

For this reason, canned corn should

not in a water bath or in the
oven, or even in steam Gamer

you cannot process your corn un-

Of bins on different farms in the
county. Under the terms Of the
loan program wheat has q loan
value on the average of about 69h
cents in the county. Farmers in
terested in making loan are urg-
ed to send the sealing and inspec-
ton fee OF $500 to the treasurer of
the county agricultural conserva-
ton association in care Of the coun-
ty agents office, st. Cloud. In ad-
dition to the sealing fee there Is
q charge Of 1c a bushel for COM
pletion Of the loan. Should this
charge be more than Is necessary
for the handling of the loans in the
county on the average, the excess
amount collected will be refunded
to the various borrowers on the
basis Of the amount that they paid
in to the fund. This will be hand
led the same as with the corn loans
in southern Minnesota where a
number of counties found that 1t
didn't cost as much to administer
the loan program as they original
ly estimated.
Loans made on wheat will ma
ture on May 81, 1889. At that time
If wheat has not risen in price the
wheat can be turned over to the
Commodity Credit Corporation in
payment Of the note and interest
and in addition the farmer who
stored the wheat on his own farm
will be in a position to collect back
&c bushel for having stored the
wheat on his farm. Farmers in
terested in taking advantage of the
loan program should be equipped
with satisfactory granaries that
have tight sides and good roof.
A proper storage place Is essential
and some granaries may be in need
of repairs in order to make them
satisfactory for storing grain on
the loan program.

Light oats has q high percentage
of fiber, and fiber has very little
value fer feeding pigs. If oats weigh
over % pounds, its highest value
will come when fed to replace not
more than rs per cent of the corn
or barley in a ration which calls
for one-third oats, cne-third shriv-
eled wheat, and one-third barley.
This ration Is ground and mixed,
and is coed for fattening hogs
Grinding oats to medium fineness
will increase its value by Is per
cent. Soaking whole oats does not
better its feeding qualities.
Hulled oats make an excellent
feed for little pigs, and about 1876
pounds Of fairly heavy oats will
make 100 pounds Of hulled oats.
Hulls are of no value, for they re-
place other feed and retard gains.
Oats should be limited to about 25
per cent Of the fattening ration.
but can make up 80 per cent Of the
ration for breeding stock. Zavorar
points out that very light oats could
be put through the tanning mill
and only the heavier grain fed.

Turning pigs into the corn field

this practice is in September and

LOCAL PLANT PLANS
55TH ANNIVERSARY
CONTINUED From Page One)

a Model r in that year, at once OPP
ened new wider territories to the
plant.
Mrs. Robischon pointed out this
week her husband used to do his
collecting north using the train as
transportation. She said there
wasn't lot of money in those ear
ly days, but "if he came back with
so dollars, we thought it was a lot"
And it would buy lot, too, she
added.
Throughout these fifty-five years
the Robischon family has temper
ed the public tastes in the carbon
ated line. They saw it pass from
such early favorites as birch beer,
champagne cider to the era when
elders, in all flavors, were the pub
lie demand. Now they point out the
elders have lost to the fickleness
of the public, newer connections
must be manufactured. Now the
era of cola drinks finds only grape,
lone carry over from the cider era.
Some of the early favorites were
the now seldom heard of peach
cider, sarsaparilla, raspberry cider.
Those hit the peak of best sellers
in their day.
Rising from a one man stand to
a six employee firm, today its four
trucks roll into seven counties, de-
liver to 600 accounts. Its produc-
ton rose from 100 cases daily to
400 each day. Where once the av-
erage amount of sugar used each
month was 300 pounds, now in a
month like August it may reach as
high as $1,000 pounds. Its yearly
output has stretched from 1900
cases to $4,000 in 1887.
Now plans for 55th anniversary
celebration are in an embyro stage.
Mr.. Robischon said that sometime
in late September or early October
the observance will be held.
