The cam- paign is part of a state-wide move. ment to drive the scrub bulls out of Connecticut. It s cstimated that fully half the scrub bulls in dairy herds in the county have heen re- placed during the year. When the campaign began about 60 per cent of the bulls were of scrub breed- ing. The campaign will be con- tinued until this class of stock will be completely replaced by thorough- bred animals, the bureau states. | The campaign has been conducted in various parts of the country for the past 12 years by farm bureau organizations, it is said. The num- ber of scrub animals eliminated in this county, it is claimed, is the largest ever reported by any county in the nation. Experiments have indicated, ac- cording to the farm bureau that the annual milk production of cows raised from purebred male stock average at least 1,000 pounds more than those of scrub breeding. In this connection it is pointed out that whole milk is the only agricul- tural product, except certain grades of tobacco, in which Connecticut more than supplles its ‘own needs. The purpose of the campaign is not to increase gross production of milk the bureau states but to weed out all unprofitable cows and maintain production with fewer animals in the dairy herds. New London county, first to un- dertake the campaign in this state broke all records up to that time by replacement of 112 scrub bulls with selected purcbreds, the bureau re- ports. To date more than 400 scrub Rulls have been replaced by purebreds in Connecticut.

The name of one victim was Otto Carrott, 50, while the other was known only as O'Brien. Their ad- dresses are unknown. Although the bodies of both men were badly charred, it is not known definitely whether they were burned to death or died from carbon monox- ide polsoning. The body of Carrot was fund on a stove used to heat the shanty. Tt is believed that Cartot overcome by the gas, fell against the stove and upset it. The shanty lat 139th strect and the Harlem river.
