YES, LIFE ON FARM HAS ITS REWARDS , But 1t's No Place for Lazy Mao or Quitter Is farming in this locality paying proposition? Is the farmer in Hart- county repaid for the work which necessarily goes into conducting a Connecticut farm? A talk with a well known farmer ir. this locality has convinced the writer that pro and con of question 1= about evenly balanced, in spite of the agitation popular nowadays to the effect that either the farmer is coining money hand over fist or that he is leading a dog’s life for no re- compense. “Farming today is a heap sight different from what it was ten years ago,” the tiller of the soil stated. “Time was when a man bought a farm and some seeds and worked his head off fighting insects and blight and weeds and weather all summer and then found the market filled up with produce and went broke or thought he was lucky to break a lit- tle under even. His land petered out, he didn’t know nothing about this here rotation of crops and he thought that the government bulle- tin was all story book stuff written by a lot of desk farmers that didn’t know the difference between a shoat ond a heifer. *T think the war had a heap to do with opening the farmers eyes. Joel and Abner marched off to war and of it. “Times are getting better though. What with the radio and the im- proved home appliances we don't have such a hard life as we used to. Our flivvers make it easier to get into the city to see a movie. We | know as many late dance pleces over ithe radio as the city fellow even if we can’t dance as well. The Grange , and the Legion and the 4-H club and | the Farmers’ club give us a lot that the old time farmer used to miss. “Rube” Has Disapepared New York with a wisp of hay behind his ear, buying the Brooklyn bridge {fsn't true today. Ask any ome of i them how to fix a truck or a tractor and he can give you as good a job as an ordinary mechanic. Try to sell Well, It you want to make “Would T advise farming? T tell you. a p Iyouw'll never make it. If you want lto get a lot of living that you wouldn't get anywhere else, I'd ad- {vise a man to take it up. It'll mean {a lot of work—more work than the hardest boss would dare ask his help to do. It'll mean sweating and ach- ing and getting tired. Tt'll mean dis- appointment and disgust at certain |times. But it teaches a man to de- ipend on himself for a living. He lives within® himselt and he asks odds from nobod: better than a farmer's life for that. He gets contented with smaller things and isn't so entious of the chap that has it all. He works and eats and sleeps and works again. No farmer will actually tell anybody tice how a man hates to get out of }it once he’s in it? There must be some reason for that and I think probably got thrown in with a bunch of boys hailing from the west or from the south. They heard what was being done in other parts of the country and they heard of new methods that they didn’t know noth- ing about where they come from. They found out that the government bulleting were something more than story book writing. They found out that Connecticut and this section of the country were a way behind | other parts of the country so when they come back they began to tell the old folks about it. 'm not saying that they con- verted all of them. Most of those old shellbacks need a heap of con- vertinge before it begins to register. They still think that rotation of crops is something for the gentle- man farmer with a lot of time and money on his hands. But the younger men are beginning to see the value of the tractor and they are keeping the mail busy with gov- ernment bulletins. The farmer in this locality is about 10 years behind himself to my way of reckoning. Most of us are sticking to what our daddy told us and we won't progress very far until we decide that this farming business has got to be ad- vanced like the other businesses in the country. Diversified Crops Pay “We here in Connecticut and es- peclally in this portion of Connecti- cut haven't got any special climate that is good for one thing like the ‘western farmers or the cotton farm- ers In the south but on the other hand we have got a climate that can produce diversificd crops which pay it we are smart enough to outguess the market. We have got to know whether tomatoes or potatoes are going to be the thing in demand at the end of the season. We have got to know whether or not it will be worth while to plant tobacco. Thes2 are the decisions that the govern- ment bulletins help out and the old method of putting all the eggs in one basket is being changed for a diversified crop. “‘One thing that I and most of the farmers in this locality approve of is this 4-H movement among the voungsters. This club is sponsored by the farm bureau of this state and it teaches the bov on the farm the modern and improved method of raising everything from alfalfa to cows. It satisfles the chief problem of the farm today—that is, keeping the boys on the farm when they want to get off to the city and make their fortunes. “I don't know whether its fair or not to keep them on the farm. I don’t know if I had a boy whether I'd keep him on the farm or educate him to make his pile in the city. We farmers never get to own big automobiles and a man to help us put our overalls on. We work like all get out and die with our hand on a hoe and we dont’ have an aw- ful lot to show for it. The boy who goes to the city stands a 100 per ‘cent better chance of making more money in the city—but somehow we hate to see him go. “The American farmers are get- ting scarcer and scarcer every year. The foreigners are taking over a lot of the farms i1 this locality and they seem to be able to make a liv- ing where an American would starve to death. I guess that's because everybody from the father down to the five year old kid is out in the fleld working from § o'clock until it's too dark to see the ground. I rever knew an American farmer who would dare to work his wife in the flelds the way those foreigners do. That's why they're succeeding while we all are having a hard time When handicapped by coneti- pation, for prompt refief take She Tree Family Laxative \ all you claim for it in !that it's chiefly because a man Is !satisfled with himself when he's | Working hard for his living. ! " “To the lazy man and the con- ! ceitea man and the selfish man T ad- |vise that he keep out of farming. | But to the man who is ready to worl {hard for a small zain to keep plug- !ging when it doesn't scem worth while and to be on the lookout for new and advanced methods—go to iit. “And now Tl have to go—T've been away since noon and I've got a lot of work to do hefore sun- down.

BEATS BILL TILDEN - South African Tennis Player Has Distinction of Being First ! Down American Ace. St. Cloud, France, May 31 () — Louis Raymond, South African ten- nis champion, besides gaining the hopor yesterday of winning the |firat set lost by Bill Tilden during Ithe present international hard |court championships, holds that distinction of being the first playe |of the scries who forced the Amer- ican to remove his sweater. When within one game of victory in the hard fought third set, which he won, 8-6, Tilden walked over to the stands and whispered to Francis T. Hunter, the otlier mem- [ber of the American team, who {was idle for the day. Tt developed | that Raymond not only forced Til- den to remove his sweater, but made It necessary for Tilden to ask Hunter to get him a dry shirt. Tilden won the match, 5-7, 6-2, 8-6, 6-3. “One of our three musketeers is gone,” was the lament of French spectators after the defeat of Jean Borotra yesterday at the hands of his countryman, Antoine Gentien, by the score of 62, 11-13, 6-0, 6-4.

Detvoit, DRIVERS T0 BLAME FOR ‘AD CORNERS Statistics Prove Few Blow Horns at Intersections With the advent of the automo- bile season, by the calendar if not by the weather, there are many new behind wheels, and in all probability the “bad corners” in New Britain will add greatly to their unsavory reputations as gasoline buggies whiz past and fail to reach the safety point just across time to avoid be. ing banged by others which also happen to be a little late tioting the danger zone. There is no denying that New Britain has its share of dangerous intersections, but observation will prove to the most skeptical that in many instances, the drivers of cars cause the street corners to become known as “bad.” The accidents that are reported to the police almost dafly are not entirely due to the inability of the drivers to see far enough ahead to gauge the space between traffic and safety. Within the past week or two, a more or less close watch has been Kept on some of the so-called “bad"” corners in the city, and the thrills | that were handed out were numer- ous although slightly monotonous, ! because behind each of them there appeared to be nothing short of foolhardiness, it not downright reck- lessness. On the other hand, drivers passed in fairly slzeable numbers, who actually sounded the horns on their cars and reduced speed as they approached infersections, some thing which all drivers would have the police, the fudges. and the in- surance adjusters believe they al- ways do. 15 of 75 Sound Horns At East Main and Stanley streets, where the view is obstructed 1 the North & Judd factory walls, automobiles passed in ten minutes Brougham %1525 f. 0. b.

Some, of courss, turned at the intersection, but by actual count, only 15 drivers reduced spced and sounded horns. | Of the fitteen who thus obeyed the {1aw and thereby made travel safer { for themsclves and others on the | highway, seven were obliged to ap- ply the brakes and come to quick | stops. Had they not been cautious land careful, their | would have caused collisions, be- vond all doubt. In the short time the corner was watched, there was one accident, causing slight damage to the fender of a pleasure ecar which was grazed by a truck, and | strangely enough, the drivers con- cerned had sounded the horns of heir respective vehicles as they approached the corner, but one made the mistake of starting Forty-four 10 a stop to allow the other machine to pass.
