This man will help the farmors to take an inyentory of ~his business, put it down in black and white, aad then will make suggestions as te how he can more profitably employ his la- bor. This information, however, is | given with the understanding that it is never to be published in conmection with any farmer's name; it is simply a matter of organizing the farmer's| business and by comparing his bu: } ness with a more successful farmer it is hoped that suggestions can be of- fered which will materially benefit him. . It is the wish of the department of agriculture that the farmers give tne, information concerning his business | freely and authentically, otherwise tae records will be of no value, New Extension Men in the id. The Connecticut Agricultural colleze, | iue to the increased _appropriations from the Smith-Lever bill, are putting on several new men in the extension service. Besides Mr. Keyes, the effi- clency expert appointed lately, a dai.y extension man, poultry and fruit ex- ! tension men are to take the field the | first of mext month.

Among these; we consider the followi; one, which can be made at home with very littie trouble, as far the best and it douot- | less costs the least. Put four ounces | of parnotis, which you can get from! vour druggist, in 11 pints hot water and strain when c¢ool.

This work must be done thoroughly In order | to be successful. The disease often appears on apples, pears, quinces and other pomaceous fruits and is often called twig blight because on some varieties like Bald- win and Ben Davis it does not get down into the Alexander, Transcen- dent, Crab, King, Wealthy and Snow. ‘When the young twigs are attacksd the leaves die down, turn black aad color up as if the twig had been killed by frost or scorched by fire blight.

These canker: appear at first as darker colored areas which later become black. They ea- large. in all directions if the weather they tend to enlarge up and down instead of across the tree. Oftentimes it produces what is commonly called colar rot. The | disease generally works through tne blossom or through the bark, whers some Insect has punctured i Water sprouts and rapidly growing twigs are more susceptible than other sections of trees. It spreads more rapidly dur- | ing the fast growing months of May , and June than in July and August. Flies, bees. wasps and other carriers spread the disease. In cutting out the affected parts one sheuld be sure to get back six to ten inches beyond where the disease shows that it has worked. The pruning tool, whether shear or saw, should be dis- infected with corrosive sublimate—one part to 1,000 parts of water—after making each cut. All diseased twigs and pieces of bark should be burned 1 up immediately after collected becauss bacteria leave even after the twigs ‘have been moved from the tree. Ore should go through his orchard each week looking for new infections and they should be cut out. Let all in New London county who are interested in the future of the apple business do their part toward doing away with this dread disease. Call on the agent to inspect your orchards if you’have any idea that this is present. County Fair Exhibits. The season for agricultural will soon be at hand. Every fairs farmer | should - have something on his farm that is worthy of taking to the fair. A man is known largely by the products of his labor, and one of the best ways to get free advertising is to exhibit in the local county fair.

But taking the examples of many of the Euro- ! pean countries whose land has been tilled many decades more than ours here in the United States and whose crops per acre today are twice and three times as great, and also ex ,amples of many of our own progres- isive farmers, the only conclusien is that the trouble is with the tiller and not with the tilled, i The principle of plowing in a green manure crop is a lost art in many ‘sections of our New England states and Dbefore we can get back -the old time efficiency of our farms it must be rought back. ‘The answer to the crops our fath- ers and grandfathers raised is this In those davs every farmer had sev- leral too many cows, everyone had a bunch of young stock coming along, | two or three pair of oxen with youn ! pigs and generally a few sheep made { the number of live stock on each farm much greater than it is now. The farmer had more manure to plow in. | He raised more grain and plowea in the stubble which is a great humus maker. His young stock kept in the pasture all summer made manure enough to keep that in good shape and |50 unconsciously he was an efficient ifarmer. Also at that time practically ino coal was burnt and great quan- jtities of wood ashes were. yearly spread on to the land. Canada wood ashes were very cheap and bought in jgreat quantities.

Today we find many «men who have taken old farms that raised scarcely any hay and made highly productive and profitable farms of them and we wonder why. A week ‘ago the agent visited the ! farm of Secretary of State Board of Agriculture Leonard Healey of Wood- stock, Conn. The farm where Mr. Healey took it @id not supply hay for six head of stock. Last year he kept, 22 head of dairy stock, three horses and sold $600 worth of hay. When asked his methods he. said “Green manures.” Every. piece of land that was plowed, down to the little garden in back of the house, had been sown to rve at the last cuiltivation. Corn, potatoes and garden truck all had rye coming up between the rows. The crop is harvested and ryve let grow and is plowed in next spring. No land is allowed to lie fallow during .the {winter. In his corn he sows two pounds of sweet clover and two pounds of Alsike in addition to his rye and jhis farm is gaining in productivéness each vear, ¢ Other erops, such as bickwheat. mil- let, dalley oats and peas und best of all clover should be plowed in at ev- ery opportunity, Practice short rotations; don't leave your hay land down more than three vears: ;plow in your manure and use commercial fertilizers for top dress- in lime once in 6 or 7 years at rate of 1,500 to .2,000 pounds of ground limestone per acre, and keep more and Fet us follow the { examples of our forefathers and the | progressive farmers of today and we will soon have the old-time produc- tiveness back in New Engiand.
