 Andy's eyes continued to hold Carols as he said absentlv to Linda, "Yes, of course" He Eurned and touched the knob of his fathers of flee, paused. Then, quickly, he turned 1t, opened the door and went in.
 It was Linda who closed the door behind them.
 Carol, busy at her desk, tried not to listen to the rise and fall of their voices or to speculate about the si- fences between.
 She must mt let Andy's presence arouse all her old unhappiness. Now, before she had to carry out the terms of the will, she must harden her heart against him. She must stifle her love.

By OLCOTT r. KING Commissioner of Agriculture Written for the United Pressl

Farm incomes in Connecticut for
 l94l will be the best since the last period of relatively full employment in the late 20's.
 Much of this improvement is due to the greater demand for our farm products as 8 result of the tremen- dous increase in industrial produce ton for defense.
 A recent report indicated Q gain In industrial employment in october of nearly i7 per cent over the same month in lo40. This represented an increase of i03.000 workers and 1t Is probable that the peak has not yet been reached. Many of these workers have moved to Connecticut from other states.
 This increased number of workers able to buy food has increased sales Of milk, eggs, poultry, cigars, fruits and vegetables markedly, Turkey producers in spite of Q much larger crop than last year sold their bird readily at good prices. Egg prices have risen rapidly enough to cause some producers concern about the danger of curtailed consumption, Tobacco growers enjoyed a good crop and look forward to satisfactory prices. :The price of milk has been increased recently by the milk ad- ministrator. Connecticut farmers ap- parently are going to meet the re- quest of the secretary of agriculture for increased production.
 Low Apple Prices
 Fruit men, early In the fall, ar- ticipated discouragingly low apple prices because of the larger than normal national crop. Market de- velopments thus far in this area, however, have not been as disastrous as some expected.
 Accompanying the improvement In prices received, however, Connec- tlcut farmers are experiencing eX- treme difficulty in obtaining farm | labor. Farm wages have risen sharp- ly due to the competition for labor from nearby defense industries. But | more serious than the increase in | wages is the shortage Of experienced | farm labor. l
 Prices of things farmers buy have risen sharply during the past year and promise to go higher. The price of Q typical 20 per cent dairy ration in November was 16 per cent higher than a year ago. The price of a typical poultry mash was 20 per cent and a scratch grain 10 per cent higher in November than last year. These higher prices prevail in spite ! of ample supplies fo grain and feed- StufIs. Other farm supplies are also higher in price than last year.
 The number of milk COWS in the state has continued to increase but recently production has not kept | pace with the increase in the sale of fluid milk. A recent survey made by the University of Connecticut in- dicates that adequate unused barn space still exists in the state for increase in production without any new capital investment.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-12-18
Farm Incomes Reported Best h OUer 20 Years
Increased Number of Workers Results in Greater Demand for Dairy, Farm, Poultry Prod
 ucts = Readjustments Anticipated.

The dairy business in Connecticut accounts for nearly half of the total sales of farm products, the second In importance being poultry, fol- lowed by vegetables, tobacco and fruit in that order.
 Poultry Industry
 The poultry industry has been growing in importance in recent years, particularly the production of broilers in the eastern part of the state. Connecticut has one of the largest matching establishments iii the northeast and several others that have ben growing rapidly. There appears 10 be some tendency for chick hatcherleS to be concen- trated in larger units. Turkey pro- duction has also continued to ex- pand each year.
 Vegetable growers have had 6 better year than last although Vege- tables prices did not react to the improved employment situation as much as growers had expected. Po- tato growers have had a good crop and expect good prices for this sea. sons crop.
 Tobacco growers have also had q crop larger than average and 1t Is expected that 1t will sell at better than average prices.
 The last session of the legislature recognizing the need for better res gional market facilities in the state appropriated $200,000 to the regional marketing authority already created for the establishment Of regional marketing facilities. Considerable progress has been made by the authority in developing Q new mar ket for the Hartford area.
 The concentration of defense cone tracts In Connecticut has stimulated employment to such an extent that our farmers have enjoyed increased sales and higher prices which will net them more than during the last few years. It is probable that our farmers will accept the most recent challenge resulting from the decla- ration of war and continue to ex- pand the production of those prod- ucts they can sell directly to our defense workers, as far as they ind It practical.
 Readjustments
 There is much evidence to iIl- dicate that farmers generally rec member the lessons learned from the last war and are planning theiz business readjustments more cau- tiously and soundIy. They are avoid ing capital investments in new buildings and equipment wherever possible. Instead they are renovat- ing present buildings and equip4 ment sufficiently to make possible increased production when 1t is practical. Most important of all they are anticipating the future and after-the-war defiation by liquidat- ing old long term debts and are not contracting new ones.

in the doorway. He was bound to hear Nick's words. She shook her head to silence the boy. She's a friend of Mir. Dearborn's, Nicky," she said desperately. ",She came from his Oofi1ce,"
 Nicky grabbed of his hat "Jiminy-gee!" he exclaimed. His mouth gaped. His face turned an embarrassed pink.
 Better be more careful, boy" Andy's voice was annoyed. What arc you doing up here, anyway? Can't you sell your papers on the street2"
 Nicky twisted his cap. q = you sec" he stammered. Tt was jis' well, MT. Dearborn al'ays bought a paper from me and he wanted 1t in O hurry. He'd be standin' there jis' like you, waitin' for me. Now well = I jis' keep comin'. In c hurry. I like to think"
 Carol couldn't look at Andy.
 The boy began to back away. Andy stopped him. Here, son." he said gently, "how many papers did you spoilp"
 "Oh, that's all right. I can lose 'em."
 Andy's mouth was firm but his eyes were warm. How manyP" he persisted.
 Nicky surveyed his armful :" Bout twelve, maybe. But it's all right, I guess I ought to have come slower"
 Andy fished some coins from his pocket and pushed them Into Nicky's hand. You can count me n regular customer, too, Nicky. Every day"
 The boy grinned his thanks. "Jiminy -gee!"

the ability of Q Dearborn and the fate of business.
 How would they vote when the inventory date came?
 Suddenly she tensed, glanced at a calendar. December 18. She drew a startled breath. Annual inven- tory began the Monday after New Years. Seventeen days away.
 Too short a time. Far too short Yet there 1t was. Mir. Dearborn had thought inventory the right date to close the store, If close they must. He surely hadn't expected to die within less than three weeks of itl
 Every day, every minute was precious. The six of them were fighting against time.
 It was too much for her young shoulders, She dropped down at her desk, flung her head on the type writer and through sheer bafflement let the tears come.
 That's why the masculine feet had stopped beside her before she became aware of them. They stirred impatiently. A pair of womA ems shoes with ridicVlously high heels joined them.
 Carol took a quick dab at her eyes, srnoothed her hair and looked up.
 Dazedly, she rose and said "oh, you've comel"
 Andy Dearborn and Linda Julian stood before her,
 Andy's voice sounded strained. I'm sorry your cable didn't reach us sooner, Carol. With the funeral and all--you must have had @ lot on your hands,"
 We managed. If we'd known you could come so soon--".
 T left within an hour after I got your cable"
 "They couldn't find you for two days" Her tone was on accusation.
 He noticed 1t and stifened. We were cruising. We didn't hit Q port for Q week, l had no Idea my father was Ill.," A shadow of pain crossed his face.
 Her sympathy went out to him. She knew he had loved his father.
 "You must have known he ex- pected an attack any time"
 He looked steadily at her. No, I didn't know. He never mentioned it." After a moment he added. You probably knew more about him than I did"
 "He loved the store. He kept hop ing you'd be here more"
 "TGs. know" A one-sided smile aInbellished the meaning of his words. Well. you know how we got along, Carol. The time I was here he was always pushing me to settle down-to keep my nose to the desk" He stopped. "Of course, you're not interested in that"
 A cool voice cut in. Why should she be, darlingT After all she was only his stenographer."
 Carol drew back. Linda was tall with an amazingly clear skin under her cruise tan. Her eyes were Q contemplative yellow-green. Her mouth now wore a derisive smile. Let's 90 in the office and get out of this unholy noise," Linda urged.
 For the first time Carol realized the footsteps of hundreds of cus- toners might be called noise. She had thought of them as music. It
