~ z sRANNoN

II you knew of a group OF men
who owned 8 5000 acres of idle land
on which they were paying taxes
but not receiving any revenue 49,.
and if it were possible for these men
with planning and q little work to
realize from 100000 to one million
dollars additional income from this
land :. what would you think?
That is just the situation in Holmes
county, according to an article by
Mr.. A. p. Carroll, who in his job
with the Soil Conservation Service,
is continually trying to raise the
level of income to the Holmes county
farmer.
We suggest those of you with idle
land by all means turn to page three
of this paper where you e just
what Mr.. Carroll says about idle
land in this county.
The reason we carry the articles
written each week by the County
Agent, the Home Demonstration
Agent and the Soil Conservation
Service Is not just to fill space 49,.
it Is because Holmes county Is an
agricultural county -. and anything
that helps the Holmes county farmer
helps everyone in the county
business and professional alike.
These articles definitely help the
farmer and his family to make more
of everything they have on the farm.
This paper is happy that we r a
medium which serves U farm
friends and hope they will take
advantage Of these articles every
week by reading them and putting
into practice those practical to their
individual use.

COP

Continued from Page D considerable credence in Washing ton circles few weeks ago with the general opinion held that Mrs. Luce will be drafted by the party, should Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin adhere to his pledge that he will not seek the senatorial, or any other party position. Mrs. Luce is also on record as mot seeking renomination again this year." It Is felt however, that a party draft of the perSonable solon will offset the onus of such a statement. This would hold true for Baldwin, 1t Is pointed out.
 The Governor continued in Q position of complete ambiguity as to future plans. This situation was increased by the fact State Chair man Harold E. Mitchell failed to reveal the contents of recent let- ter he received from the Governor said to contain his final word on his plans.
 GubernatOrials Many
 Meanwhile, the party seems to have more gubernatorial candidates than it has had in many years. Other than MT. Talbot, aspirants include former It. Gov. James l.. McConaughy who also is considered as a strong candidate for the con- gressional post from the 5th Dis trict. Others are Attorney General William L. Hadden and Hartford County States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr. Mitchell's name is also mentioned for this post.
 Minor State candidates are said to be developing with former State Sen. Joseph R. Neil of Watertown favored for State treasurer and former comptroller Fred Zeller again being given consideration. Brig. Gen. Kenneth F. Cramer of Wethersfield is said to be in the grooming stage as a candidate for Acknowledgements.
 The committee meeting at the Hotel Bond withheld action on State convention dates and party slate until July IS. The meeting will coincide with the visit to Con- necticut of National Chairman B. Carroll Reece, who will address the party leaders at Hartford.

Dutch Elm Disease Kills Many Trees

Watertown, June 26 = A survey of the Elm trees by First Selectman Warren A. Parker, shows many more trees have been damaged, dis eased and killed by the Dutch Elm disease this year than in any prev- ious year.
 It is continuous and costly pro- ject, cutting down and disposing of the large dead and diseased trees. No cure for the infection has yet been found. Burning the wood to destroy the fungus and beetle after cutting, is a check. Hundreds of Films are being destroyed in Con- necticut every year. MT. Parker states privately owned Elm trees becoming infected should also be cut and burned to help prevent disease spread.
