Administration Endorsed by ‘wages of city employes, ‘the motoriza- | tion of the fire department and the | building of a billion gallon reservoir | system in Cheshire were pointed out as constructive features of the Don- | ovan administration.

Each of them raised $500 or more from the sale of shares to members and the Aid society loaned them each $1,000 with which to begin operations. The form of organization of these Credit Unions is similar to that of the Raiffeisen banks—after which most cooperative credit institutions the world over are patterned—in so far as that system could be adapted to American condi- tions and to the peculiar needs of the situation.

Lee of Orange | The principal address at the morning | was upon the toplc Some s That Make for Success in the Growing of Alfalfa, which was given by Prof. H. J. Wheeler of Storrs, who is a member of the Agricuitural Ser- vice Bureau of New England. | The speaker emphasized the im-| portance of alfalfa for New England. | The best land for growing it, he said, is that with a gentle slope. Pockets | in the land should be sown with grass. | The land should be thoroughly fitted | and the final touch imparted with a | smoothing harrow. Stable manure is desirable, although there is some danger of weed seeds finding lodg- ment in the field. It is not necessary ! to sow nitrogen. The plant catches' its own nitrogen. The field should be thoroughly limed if the soil has ;\Md-i ity. Professor ‘Wheeler outlined various | methods of fertilization. From 16 to 20 pounds of seed per acre is sufficient if the seed is well distributed. The time to seed alfalfa in New England is the | first day the ground can be worked to get ahead of the weeds. If it is desir- ed to seed down in the fall, the time to | sow the seed is from the 1st to the| 15th of August. In New England it 1s the usual practice not to s a nurse | crop. 1If a nurse crop is-desired bar- ley is the best grain to use, Professor Wheeler advocated the | inoculation of soil with inoculated soil from a field previously inoculated. Sup- | plementary harrowing should not be done until the plants are fully estab-| lished. The proper kind of a spring- tooth harrow should be used, care be- ing taken not to use a harrow that will tear up the roots. Wken to Cut. The proper time to cut the crop for the first time is when the buds are| just developing. Unusual conditions | sometimes call for premature cutting ! to allow the second crop to get started quickly. = After cutting the alfalfa it should be thoroughly wilted ¥ caps should be used and the cock turned daily until the whole of the cock is thoroighly cured. Rain will injure the alfalfa, causing many val- uable properties to leach out. Neither must the alfalfa be so long exposed to the hot sun that it crumbles to pieces. Professor Wheeler advocated the tablishment of alfalfa seed farms in ew Engiand ande the purhase of seed from those farms. An alfalfa huller is to be built in New England very soon, sald Prpfessor Wheeler. Alfalfa plant- ed in August should not be cut the same vear, even though {t grows a foot or more high. Association Formed. Following Professor Wheeler's ad-' dress, an alfalfa growers’ association was formed. Leonard H. Healey of Woodstock read a constitution and by- laws, which were adopted. -1t was voted that the name be The Connecti- cut Alfalfa Growers' association, and that the association affillate with the New England Alfalfa Growers’ associa- | tion. Governor Baldwin Speaks. The address by Professor Wheeler followed the address of welcome by Mayor Louis R. Chehey, to which Gov- | ernor Baldwin responded. The gover- nor said in part: A midwinter mesting of a board of | agriculture seems at first sight almost out of place in a northern state, One likes to be able to put in practice, on the moment, what he hears and seems to be offered prom But now is the farmer’s time for thinking over things, The busy time of the vear for thought and reading and friendly conference has come, i I am not sure but in the end it may be made the most important time of the . A man’s success in manu- | facturing does not depend on the amount of his products or his sales. | It depends on whether what he pro- ! duces be produced within a cost that { will enable him to profit by his sales, | Many a manufacturer has gone dewa 1o ruin because he had not made out Droper cost sheets or had not studied with due re what such cest sheeti showed. So with the farmer. a profit in raising peaches on one kind of soil and location and none in trying to raise them on another. We used to plant our orchards on low ground.

The tariff laws have got te be tudied for some things, and the prices ‘We used to | in_ Connecticut | raise’ mulberry trees and breed silkworms. It paid once. ! It does not pay now.
