quality seed were urged to find
ont their nearest source of supply
before it is too late. County
agents will be glad to help them
locate certified seed producers.
But even when certified seed is
obtained, it should be treated
with mercuric chloride before it
is bcdded. This is a deadly poison
and must be handled with care.
Put one ounce Of mercuric
chloride in eight gallons of water
and let the seed soak in this So
luton for Is minutes. Remove
the seed and after it has dried,
bed it without washing. The treat
ment kills disease organisms that
may be in the potatoes.
A number of commercial prep
arations in which organic mercury
IS used as base may be used in
place of the mercuric chloride So
luton, Watson added.

Governor Unopposed

The United Press carried story yes- terday to the effect that Governor Wilbur L. Cross may not be opposed by can didate on the Republican ticket this fall This is little ahead of time in two re- spects. In the first place Governor Cross has not indicated himself that he will again be candidate this fall. Everyone takes it for granted that he will and most democrats concede that no one would probably attempt to dispute the gubernatorial nomination with him. In the second it is doubted if the Republi- can party of the state could survive if it offered ticket with no candidate head ing it.
 All the Republicans could do would be to endorse Governor Cross or leave the nomination vacant, in which case capital would be made of this by other political parties that are now applying for the right to place on the official ballot sheets Endorsement of Cross might be good strategy, but then again it might simply throw what votes the other Repub- lican candidates could get to the other parties. We doubt if it would add strength to the party,s chances.
 So far as we can see the best thing for the g.o.p. to do is to proceed as it has in the past. Surely party that is supposed to have such deep roots in Connecticut

Annual Wage

Henry Ford has another important decision to make, and is believed to be doing some serious thinking about it. Will he make practical trial of the annual wage" plan, as a substitute for the daily or weekly wage system which prevails today? That is, will he guarantee his tens of thousands of workers defi- nite minimum of wages per year, so that they will know all along what they can count on, instead of hiring them for irregular periods without any assurance of their annual income?
 This plan has been definitely urged upon the Ford Motor Company by Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan. He says, with probable truth, that MT. Ford is the one industrialist in America who could do it, because he has the resources and holds the control of great industry in his own hands. Interest in the idea is rapidly increasing. It seems logical, be- cause workers have to live 52 weeks a year, not merely during the weeks when they are employed. And it seems as if the richest industrial nation in the world should be able somehow to put it's indus try on such rational basis.

Build America"

A movement said to have started in one of the midwestern states aims to organize every branch of the building industry behind construction campaign covering the country. Build America" is what they call it. The title seems inspired. When it was explained to the President at Washington, he declared himself for it 100 per cent. 'This will start it!" he said. By "it" he meant business recovery.
 The organizers aim to unite everyone connected with the building industry, from carpenter to capitalist, in vast salesmanship campaign. Homes are to be "sold' to the nation both figuratively and literally, on scale never known be- fore. The time is ripe for such an effort. Homes are needed by our population more than ever, and there is great need of employment. Economic authorities seem to agree that there is a sort of magic in this combination, by which the nation can make itself prosperous by the pleas ant process of hiring people to provide millions of new homes, for rich and poor alike
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-22
Our Big Navy

It was quite coincidence that the Rev. Charles Coughlin included in his weekly Sunday radio talk some reference to the biz navy that was voted in the House yesterday. Father Coughlin took the occasion to point cauStic finger at those congressional leaders who claim that we must continue to build up our navy to keep pace with foreign powers. It IS hls claim that few submarines and de- stroyers, plus adequate air forces will be much better to protect our coastllneS than the big ships that would be included in the Vinson bill that received Such strong support in the House Monday.
 Any number of arguments can be started over comparative naval strength. You won't find probably any more than the 292 representatives in the House who agreed on the Vinson bill at any one time voting as unit on what steps Uncle Sam should take in the great armament race that is now taking place all over the world. While the so-called great powers of the world strive with might and man to keep up with the other fellow, we wonder what the little powers are doing. But most of all what are they thinking. Not many of them imagine that they are going to come under the protecting wing of some fond member of the big powers.
 The United States may need to replace old, worn-cut, and antiquated ships in Its navy; it may need to expand so that it may continue to be held in respect by other nations but we are gradually conn., ing to the opinion that so long as the United States is bounded on two sides by two mighty oceans, it might better be more concerned with the enemy from within than the one from without. And as Father Coughlin showed by his re- marks that enemy from within is very obviously our own lack of initiative, plus small amount of real knowledge of what actually transpires in our legislative chambers.
 Right now relief problems are upper most again. It almost seems as if pri- mary consideration should be given to restoring normal conditions in all forms of business, so that more jobs may be created, more money circulated, and more persons given chance to take their rightful place in society.

WHEN A CHURCH CLOSES
(New York Sun)

To abandon a church is hard thing for denominatinoal authorities to do. However convincing the ma terial arguments may be in favor of closing place of worship, they can- not overcome the tragedy of the act. A house of God, dedicated to His glory, is to pass; the high purposes and hopes built into its structure, the labors of it's ministers, the glad ly given self-sacrifices of its congre- gation, are to be removed from a scene. The fruits of the ministra- tions within its walls are immortal; should they not have an ever-en- during memorial on the site of their bestowal?
 Yet not less than other inStitu- tions can church ignore the changes time works. The population shifts. Factories and shops replace dwellings. Sectarians of another creed surround the old chapel. At tendance falls. Income is reduced. Disrepair becomes evident. If the fabric is a monument. Tthe reposi- tory of memories impressive to the multitude, it may be preserved, 8 place of pilgrimage, but if 1t re- cords only the daily goodness of common men, the kindest course is to remove its sacred vessels to an- other sanctuary.
 The Presbytery of New York has recently been called on to merge two churches in Manhattan and two in the Bronx. This does not mean their work will cease; 1t may not mean that the buildings, those shells of things divine, will be put to secular uses. The new population surround ing their sites may acquire them for religious centers. The lamps of faith may still illuminate them, though tended by men obedient to another ritual. May it be SO; yet even though it is, there must be deep regret when @ church shuts its doors.

Arthur Hiram Samuels, Connecticut born, who died at the age of 49 the other day, made rapid progress in the journal istic field in his comparatively short life. Presently he had been an executive at station WOR in Newark, and previous to that managing editor of the very suc- cessful weekly magazine, The New Yorker. His career in journalism in New York City began about tWenty-seven years ago, and from the time he began to write social news items culled along the Connecticut beaches until his un- timely death he had identified himself as a man of journalistic and business acumen. He was at one time on the staff of the New York Sun, and later editor of such magazines as House Beautiful, Harpers Bazaar and Home and Field. MT. Samuels distinguished himself in his World War service, and in the midst of his journalistic work he found time to write musical compositions. A man of parts, he successfully accomplished what he set out to do, his career cut short, as some things are ordained, before he reached the half century mark in years.

is not ready to pass out of existence at such short notice. Even the Democrats, humiliated year after year and forced out of every branch of the state government, never gave up trying. Maybe that's one of the reasons why their control of the state government in the last few years has increased rather than waned.
 At any rate we hope that when the time comes the Republicans will try to make fight of it rather than concede victory beforehand. Under such complete domination of one party government always suffers; a strong minority should always make itself felt at the polls.

Cold houses may be affected by the color of the radiators. That sounds sort of odd, doesn't it? Scientists, however, claim that radiators painted certain col orS throw off more heat than others. For example they claim black radiators radi- ate more than red and white. But there's no saving in the fuel bill, for radiators which give out heat so rapidly also cool off rapidly and consequently demand the same amount of fuel as the slower acting ones.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, March 22-They will be leaping over the hurdles in the final stretch of the Grand National Steeplechase soon. And already a host of American turfmen, stable owners and gentlemen jockeys have sailed for the great equestrian event in England.
 As usual, a rip-roaring celebration will occur at the mammoth Hotel Adelphia in Liverpool after the races are over: and if ever you have accused the English of never let ting the hair down." Tommy Reilly, the hoss expert, who was there last year, disillusions you.
 These Adelphia parties, Reilly tells, are the widest, knock-'em- down-and- drag -'em-out brawls 1t has been his privilege to attend in his long experience with turf clubs. The guests number thousand or more people, all dressed for the kill. There are six big bars, but the inn bibers are more than the bartenders can handle. So many celebrants pour for themselves.
 Fisticuffs are not unusual, and Reilly professes to have seen more alcoholics gathered at this shindig than at any other he has attended.
 It was at one of these Adelphia balls that Reilly came across a joy ous horse owner whose four-footed pride and joy had done well on the track that day. He approached Reilly from the rear flank, having slid down the bannister from the mezzanine.
 "Is this the way you always be- have?" Reilly asked him after they had formally introduced themselves to each other.
 This" said the accoster in broad, British accents, why, this is noth- ing at all."
 Whereupon the Britisher took a head-start of 20 feet, then made a running jump, skull first, into a jewelry case in the lobby. Fortu- nately, the samples displayed therein were imitation. The revel- ler's skull was not. It bled a good deal.
 Non-Pro Artists
 Tn this country, the WPA has brought to fruition the thwarted creative urges of host of Ameri- cans who always have had secret longings to write, paint, compose act and otherwise participate in the artistic world.
 And the French, too. have taken the cue and are giving expression to the creative bent of the citizenry visited the Perls Galleries the other day and there saw a show o1 Modern Primitives of Paris, painted by non-pro Rembrandts IT the Gallic capital. There are pic lures there by bus-conductors, car penters, valets and one by a sweep CT in Paris tourist-luring sewers and they all are interesting works of art.
 The men who made them stil are working, I'm told, at their ac' customed trades, not having throwr away their brooms for the pain brush at the first swell of pride. Anc not having an art patron benevolen enough to pay their way.
