FARMERS President Jarvis Says Connecticut Agriculturalists Can Solve Acreage—Nutmeg Farms Home Use. In a circular letter in which he urges | membership in the Connecticut State Agricultural society, President Charles | M. Jarvis voices an emphatic call for the people of Connecticut to return to the farm and to the production of the food crops which they themselves must use, and he urges that in such course will the people of Connecticut furnish their own solution of the problem of the high cost of living. How President Jarvis Views It. The greatest problem before the people of Connecticut today, is the high cost of living—it affects us all, rich and poor, because never before have the necessities of life been as high as they are today. The future. offers little relief, ex- cept such relief as the people of Con- necticut can give to themselves. Baron Von Lebeck said long ago: “Perfect agriculture {s the true foundation of trade and industry. It is a foundation of the riches of the states.” Littls Food from Home Soil. All values come from the soil, and the state of Connecticut creates but a scant 25 per cent. of the food supplies which our people annually consume. Note: Suppose that all the trunk lines connecting New England with the west should be tied up by the in- vasion of a foreign foe, or by a pro- longed strike or from any extraordi- nary cause whatever, how long could New England exist under these cir- cumstances? Since 1850, 800,000 acres, represent- ing $24,000,000 of tillable land in Connecticut have gone back to the untillable condition. Losing 8,000 Acres Yearly. Between 1900 and 1910 the decrease in our tillable lands has been 8,000 acres per year, representing a taxable | value of nearly one-quarter of a mil- | lion or dollars—more money than our | whole state agricultural appropria- | tion. As a manuacturing community | our position is exceedingly hazardous, as all of our raw materials are im- ported into the state and practically | all our manufactured product is| marketed outside of the state. We produce nothing except one-quarter | of the food supplies which our people | consime. We change the character of our raw product by adding labor, but we depend upon those outside -of our state to supply us with the raw/| | product and take our finished man- ufactured articles. Buying 75 Per Cent. Outside. Worse still—75 per cent. of what our people consume—the bread of their mouths—comes from outside of the state. Stop one moment and think of this! alarming condition—every thinking | man must realize what it means. Less than 10 per cent. of our total| area is under active cultivation, and | per cent. of our tota]l area is any tillage whatever. Seventy- | r cent. of the total area of the| slands is under cultivation. Denmark, with an area about three times the state of Connecticut, and a population of about the same density, provides her people with all the food that they consume and exports $150,- 000,000 of food products to roreign’ countries every ‘year. | Japan—one cf the oldest nations of| the earth—supports an ordinary house- | High Cost of Living—Should be Big Increase in Tilled Could Raise All Supplies For hold of four to six persons on four acres of land. Could Support Our Entire Population. If the 10 per t. of our cultivated area was cultivated as is Japan, it would more than support our present population. If the 20 per cent. of tillable land now farmed in Conneecticut produced even an ordinary crop (measured by foreign production), it would furnish nearly all the food supplies our people here consume, If the tillable area of Connecticut Wwas cultivated at it is in France, Den- mark and England, we would not only raise all the food supplies for our own people, but would have a large surplus to spare. Farming Can Be Profitable. Farming in Connecticut may be a lost art, and yet furming in other countries where the land has been un- der cultivation for a thousand years is a profitable industry. James J. Hill says: “The one question of supreme im- portance (to the American people) is to extract from the soil the maximum production at the minimum cost. Upon | this solution depends as to what is the| cause and remedy of the present high! cost of living. The farm is the only| hope of our national salvation and un- til its production can be increased and produced cheaper, we can have no ma- | terial relief from the present high cost | of living.” ; ! Our people for a generation have| been flocking to the cities and our| farms are deserted, and yet the French peasantry are the most pros eprous (money having) of any people on the face of the earth. We must de- | vise some method to make our farm-| ing attractive to our young men and profit must be the greatest attraction. | We- talk about the beef trust being| responsible for the high cost of living, | and yet never has beef brought a high a price on the farm as today our grain foods are equally as hlgh,! our population increasing, and our | production per acre i asing. Agricultural Enterprise to Help. | There is mno relief in sight, except| the spirit of agricultural enterprise, | and we appeal to you that it is th duty of every citizen of Connectne to encourage agricultural enterprise | or the time will soon come when the high cost of living will close the mar- kets of the world to our manufac-| turers. Science to Aid Farmer. | Our lands are mnot worn out—they simply ned proper and scientific cul-| tivation. | Why give financial aid to the land | show in New York, where our agricul- tural products cut such a pitiful figure; in comparison with other states—a little interest and a very small finan- cial contribution will work wonders on | our Connecticut farming industry. | The Connecticut State Agriculun"al} society has now taken on a new lease of life and desires interest and sup- port from all classes of people in-all| parts of the state. The management rests with life members and to be-| come a life member the expense is but | $10. | By becoming a member you help materially in the agricultural devel- opment of the state. Agriculture in Connecticut is not | dead, but simply lles dormant and re- | quires only a little encouragement to revive. NOT KNOWN WHERE | BIG PIERS WILL BE.| | Commission Gives New Londoners No | ldea What Site Will Be Its Choice— Several Have Been 8uggested. Now that New London's millien dol- lar plers have secured the necessary sanction from the state commission, | speculation as to where the big piers | are to be located has started in New London. Beveral prospective plans have been | prepared by the engineers who have been consulted in the matter, Twe | of the many locations examined are known. One is the property where the Willlam J, Bentley sawmills were formerly located, The foundation of the waterfront at this peint Is recky | and presents engineering preblems expenditurs will be neces te previde sufficient depth of wa. ter and plers for ocean steamers, | Ancther prospeetive site is the land in East New Londen just above the Central Vermont long wharf and seuth of the Thames river bridge, If this locality was seleeted it weould preba- bly mean the levelling of the entirs| bluff, the removal of many resideneces | and the use of the earth and rocks for . filling. The commission not only made a| thorough mvestigation i{eself, but se- | cured the services of experts on har- bor development, every one of whom ieved that the harbor offered the | advantages for development. As- surances have been recelved, from a number of steamship companies, tho names of which the commission is withholding at present, that If the harbor is developed, they will utilize it The vote passed provides for the im- mediate devlopment of the harbor by the erection of a pier or plers, the lat- ter depending on the cost of the work and of the land necessary, and the building terminals. As the act covers the whole of New London harbor,which |lies in Groton, Wateford and New London, the commission has not de- cided where the first dock will be lo- cated. The commission is also con- sidering the erection of a barge canal | terminal, in connection with the great | barge canal now being built across | the state of New York. This would furnish an inland waterway for canal boats from the Great Lakes to New London, by way of the Sound, and a large number of grain and iron con- cer: particularly two in Ton wan- da, N. Y, and Buffalo, N. Y., have sig- nified their intention of utilizing New London as'a point from which to load the larger part of their grain and iron, used as a basic part of a steam- ship load. If carried out, this will vir- tually insure the wharf of a large number of ocean going steamships in New London harbor. New Excuse for Husbands.

Fifth Annual Convention in Septem- ber in New London—Many Notable Men to Attend. Trade bodies throughout the egyt are receiving the invitations to the fifth annual convention of the ber 4, 5 and 6, this year. Th: an- nouncement states that invitatjons to this convention are being sent to the president and vice president of the| United States, to the govergors of states and mayors of cities algyng the Atlantic seaboard, to the senatrs and representatives, and to leading trade bodies, states. The headquarters of the cofjvention will be at the Hotel Griswold, one of the most beautiful and palat§al sum- mer resorts on the whole Atlantic coast. New London is particularly {interest- ed in the completion of the Atlantic intracoastal waterway. At the sntrance to Long Island Sound, and yet on the safe side of Point Judith, it fs a nat- ural distributing point for a lgrge part of New England. Blessed with a matchless harbor, served by compet- ing rallways, and about to expend a state appropriation of $1,060.000 on public port terminals, it is indeed a | bright star in our galaxy, and one that lights us toward our goal Are we to sit forever idle, while the great bulk of the national appropria- tions for waterways improvements go into western streams, where traffic is almost non-existent, while our indus- trial and agricultural territory in the east, supporting the densest popula- tion in the land, teeming with activ- ity, congested with commerce, lags be- hind, almost unconsidered? These are considerations which impel us to call for an attendance at the New London convention which shall outstrip any- thing that has yet been seen at a meeting of this association Arrangements are being made for a large excursion from Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and southern points, of which fuller details will shortly be made known. Automobile tours are forming from many New England points. All signs point to | the largest and most effective conven- tion in the history of this association. Fairview in Fine Condition. On Tuesday the reservoir measured 35 inches blow high water mark, and it 1s thought that there is enough water to last for six months, and it is stated that Falrview was never in finer condition in respect to the amount of water. About 2,000,000 gallong of water are being consumed every day, thus low- ering the pond one inch per day, but there ned be no alarm, as rain is due soon. Norwich will have two reser- voirs at the end of the next six months, as Stony brook will be ready at that time. Work of Real Forester. The modern forester undertakes to make orchards profitable, There are orchardists, to be sure, who know very well how to care for their trees and who do care for them; but there are also orchards that are neglected or handled unekilifully, The forester will take a run-down orchard and by intelligent, sclentifie treatment of the trees, with systematic ocare, make it preduce big and handsome apples in abuadance.
