NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAT, APRIL 17, TITO WHERE THE FARMER MAY BE PENNY WISE AND A POUND FOOLISH (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) “Talking about bugs ———" 1 suspect yowve heard many a farmer break into tho conversation with some such words. Once on a time, the average farmer thought he hed a hard enough job fighting weeds. In the days when all cultivation had to be done with fingers and hand tools, it was a dreaded task _ to start in at the end of & five or ten- acre fleld of corn or potatoes. The i sore-fingered, lame-backed farmer of those days might well have thought that the worst labor of his year would be relieved if he only had some horse tools to do the work. . Well, in due course of time and i human invention, the horse tools came along. First the cultivator; then the ‘horse-hoe; then the weeder; thern the planter and the digger. The farmer who wanted to could prepared his land riding on a sulky-plow; could plant and cover the seed with a horse drawn machine; could cultivate the crop from start to finish with horse tools; could dig the "taters with a horse digger. But did raising potatoes become an amusement about that time? Not to any appreciable extent. Just about the minute things got to the pass described, and when the farmer began to hope that one of the worst of his trials was over with— just about ,that minute Mr. Potato- lug sauntered on to the fleld, Just how that particular bug had been amusing himself during the un- told ocenturies and aeons before he turned his attention to potatoes, I have not been informed. Whatever his original occupations and recreations were, they had kept him very fit. He had a good appetite and apparently no trouble with his digestion. Moreover, he ‘elieved In big families. He could eat twice his own welght In a day, and the more he ate and the heavier 'he grew the more he wanted. It was ias if.a thousand pound cow demanded a ton of hay per diem. At the same time, a single pair, if unchecked, were capable ‘of producing 60,000,000 Young bugs each and every single season. Some bug, you'll observe. The result was that the farmer, in- tead of baving a little relief from the inew tools which made _cultivation “easier and quicker, found himself com- pelled to put all the timeé his new tools sayed him into the job of bug-fighting. “And the last state of that man was worse than the first.” But—*talking of bugs” —the potato .\! isn’t the only toad in the puddle. xpert Buckland of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington is authori- ty for the statement that there are about 300,000 known species of insects —300,000 which have been caught and dissected and described and named. He intimates that there are quite as many more possibly in existence, which have not been thus described. « _Most of these live on vegetation. Their favorite pasturage is on the leaves of plants. Th2y ordinarily pass through three stagus of life; first the ®gg; then the grub, then the adult in- sect. It is usually in the grub state that they do the most of their eating, and this period of their development 1s cunninelv planned to coincide with the season of the year when fresh follage is raturally due, Apparently, too, they have as culti- vated and fine a taste as human be- ings. They manifestly prefer garden Plants to wild ones. Did you ever know a bug to eat ‘weeds? The potato bug, for example, will lay eggs on the under side of grass leaves or weed leaves. But when the “goft shells” hatch out they dom't waste any time in getting on to a potato stall. No grass or weeds for them, thank you. If potatoes aren't handy, they’ll tackle tomatoes or egg- plants, but they’ll starve before they'll help the farmer by so much as taking a single bite out-of a pigweed or a pusley, Now, snakes are not nics, and skunks are not agreeable companions, and toads are by no means pretty pets But skunks are particularly fond of grubs, and snakes and toads live most- 1y on insects. The farmer or farmers boy who kills any one of these three is killing a real friend and a servicea- ble helper. Of course, the skunk isn't a help to the chicken-grower. The poultry man can’t be expected to view skunk raids on his colony houses with equenimity. But he can generally fence the black and Wwhite chicken lovers out, and then theyll take up their more natural function of grub- hunting, and help some neighbor, if they don’t help h! The birds, however, are the farmer’s most useful and untiring allles in his fight with bugdom. Generally speak- ing, they live on gTubs and slugs and worms and beetles and flying insects. While their appetites are not 50 vo- racious as those of the bugs, they still manage to get away with a good many in the course of a summer's day. Es- pecially when the home nest is full of young ones and they have to feed not only themselves but & half dozen in- satiable open bills in the nest. It's not only that they destroy so many adult bugs, but every pair they destroy means a reductfon of ten to sixty millions in the season’s census of bug progeny. Those who have made life-long study” of entomology and who are in position to speak with some authority declare that, if the Insect kingdom were left unchecked to its own vo- racious tendencies it would very speedily destroy all vegetation, strip the world as brave as a billlard ball. and wipe out all animal existence, fn- cluding, of course, all human life. Some years ago, a lot of farmers in Pennsylvania thought that hawks and owls were doing them a lot of harm. So they got a law passed paying boun- ties for killing these birds. The act accomplished its purpose in several ocounties. The hawks and owls were practically exterminated. The state paid out $90,000 in bounties to accom- Plish_this. And the very next year mice and other rodents which the big birds had kept down, previously, did $4,000,000 damage to the very farmers who had earned that $90,000 in bounties by killing them. Never was a better il- lustration of the policy known as “penny wise and pound foolish.” Even the black crow, whose raids on pewly planted corn fields make many farmers regard him as an uncom- promising enemy, lives eleven months of the year on bugs and does, it may be reasonably assumed. about eleven times as much good as harm. Also, he can be kept away from the sprouting corn by various tricks, and thus pre- vented from doing any damage at all, while encouraged in his natural bug- hunting proclivities. I don't know what there is in com- mon grocers’ twine strung around a corn patch and criss-crossed across it which scares a crow. But I do know that in over 125 years of corn growing by this particulir Farmer family, no case is on record where a single hill i Whan people spend neanly one-half of iheir fime in their .Led rooms, J don't see why they don't fix them up cosily, and for ihe Life of me. the one most necessany thing in a home pretty, comfpontalle Led. is a o just know John can work hander Lecause ¢ make for him a restful place fo sleep. ¥You judt ought o see oun Ledroom, Amy, of it, Come soon.

Perhaps they are such suspicious critters that they think they see in it a cunningly devised trap to catch them. If so, then it is another case of being “too durned smart. The point which impressed me in reading Mr. Buckland’s statement about bugdom was that we men, after all, are not the whole punch. It our friends, the birds and reptiles, should let the bugs alone for just about one season, to develop with the prodigious increment which seems nor- mal to-them, the world would become just a squirming, brawling, buzzing Vermin ball, with all its vegetable life stripped. to the stalk and all its animal life gnawed to the bone!

Next Thursday’s special town meet- ing has been called to be held in the evening, instead of the afternoon, and it is believed that this practice has become fixed, Tent Duck for Warring Nations. Mills in this town continue to be busy turning out fabrics for the use of Buropean natfons that are at war. One mill has a large contract for tent duck—several hundred thousand yards. Rumor has it that there are to be some changes in the list of deputy sheriffs in this section of Windham county, but no announcements have come from Sheriff C. A. Gates at Wil- limantic vet. It is said that the court of bur- gesses may promulgate regulations re- quiring residents of -the boroush to keep garbage cleaned up. This move will certainly have strong support. Chief George M. Pilling, who is re- gaining his health, will announce his list of recommendations for police ap- pointments within a few days, N. D.

Prince, president of the Connecticut Bankers’ association, 'has been at Hartford attending a meet- ing of the executive committee of the organization at which plans for the annual meeting to be held at the Ho- tel Griswold, Bastern Point, June 18- 19, were discussed. Mr. Prince is to preside. All the bankers' associations in New England have been invited to be present. On the evening of the 18th the list of speakers will include ‘Willam A.

All that will be necessary will be to lot the insects have their own way for a season or two. Which being the case, one is tempt- ed to ask whether there isn't room for onsidering the old idea that the un- verse. was made for man, and for wondering whether humsans or bugs are really.its over-lords! In the meantime, and locking at the case solely from the standpoint of a “Man with a Hoe” it certainly seems practical wisdom for us to encourage our bird friends so far as we can, and to discourage our boy friends with guns. Guns are hardly suitable weap- ons to fight bugs with. And it's bugs We're after—or ought to be! THE FARMER. PUTNAM NEWS PUTNAM House of Charles L, Corey at Pomfret Burned—Marcello Deambrogie Killed by Express—Thompson Near Dead Man Revives—Junior Prom a Suc- cess. The house of Charles L. Corey in Pomfret was burned to the ground on Friday afternoon. Aid was asked for from 'this city as soon as the fire broke out and the automobile truck, with a number of firemen aboard, was rusheq over- into the nearby town, making a fast trip. The. Sabin house near the Corey place caught afire, but this blaze was quickly extinguished. How the fire at the Corey place started was some- thing of a mystery Friday. There was no one at home and no fire in the house. One theory was that a spark blown from where brush was being burned fell on the roof end started the blaze. The first report received here was that three houses were burning and as a result considerable excitement was stirred up. A number of Putnam people rushed over to Pomfret in au- tomobiles and a large numper gathered at the fire from various parts of Pom- fret. An efficient butket brigade did work fast, the fire, which caused a loss estimated at about $2,000- partly covered by insurance. The local firemen returned here with the tru soon after four o'clock, hav- Ing been away little more than an our. Dead To the World—But Came To. Miracles never cease. In the town of Thompson in these twentieth cen- tury days the dead return to life, at least some of the dead, or near-dead do. Late Thursday night an automo- bile truck owned in this city and bound here with a load of furniture was bowl- ing along the highway not far from West Thompson when the driver of the machine noticed what appeared to be a blanket lylng in the road. Investigation proved 'that the ob- ject was a man and indications were that he had met ceath by being struck by an automobile and dragged for a considerable’ distance. The body was cold and almost rigid and the Pute nam men were satisfied that it was time to call the medical evaminer and ungertaker. Accordingly they went to the home of Olin Nichols and sent a telephone message to Deputy Sheriff W. N. Bates, who is also an undertaker, ap- prising him of the fact thaat-there was a.dead man beside the highway. Mr. Bates secured the medical ex- aminer and they journeyed to the place indicated. . It did not take long for them to determine. that the dead man would rise again—and before the day of judgment, for his death was the the’ death that results from too close relationship with Old King Booze, The man was dead drunk, so his name will not appear in the list of sudden deaths in Windham county during this quart- er. SECTION MAN KILLED. Marcello Deambrogie Struck by Bos- ton Express Friday Afternoon, Marcello Deambrogie, 33, a section hand employed with the force that ity just before 1 o’clock on Friday aft works out of Pomfret, was killed by the Boston bound express due in this ernoon. The accident happened about 600 feet east of what is known as Wright's crossing in Pomfret, but just how it came to.happen is a mystery. Not more than five minutes before the express.was about to flash past where the section gang was working, the foreman looked up and saw Deam- brogie standing on the westbound track. The traln was approaching on the eastbound track., He seemed to see the train and was certainly out of harm's way. The sec- tion men paid no more attention to him and were very much surprised when the train came to a halt and the, conductor returned along the track to inquire of the foreman if a man had a m.-415 p_m.; Broad and Cottage streets, collections 11 a. m.-5.16 p. m.; Furnace and Cottage, collections 10.30 a m.-445 p, m.: Franklin and Dyer streets, collections 10 a. m.-4.30 p. m.; Main and Maple streets, collections, 1045 a. m.-5 p. m; Main and Elm streets (West Side) collections, 9.30 a m.-4 p. m.

He has until Sept. 15 to round out the achievement he has set himself to accomplish. The young ladies of the senior class of Killingly high school have formally agreed to-adopt a plan for uniformity in graduating gowns. This sets a worthy precedent -at the school, Where many classes have striven for such an arrangement-in the past, but with- out success.

The body was not badly cut up, although the head ‘was somewhal crushed. The body was taken in charge by L. E. Smith and brought to hi_sundertaking rooms here. Deambrogie came into this section of the country about April 1, from Brit- ish Columbia. He was an Itallan and has a brother employed as a section hand at Hampton. COUNTRY CLUB'S PLANS, Golf Course, Tennis Courts, Eto, to Be Laid Out—Remodeling of Clubhouse. A nine-hole golf course, two tennis courts and other grounds for sports of other kinds are planned, to be lald out st the newly acquired property of the Putnam Country club, south of the city. Some little preliminary work has been done this week, but probably by the latter part of next week work will begin in earnest. The officials of the club are very much_encouraged over the enthusiams that has been shown for the new or- ganization and of the financial support that has already been pledged and is in prospect. Inquiries are coming in from other towns about the club and there is evidence to indicate that many members not residents of Putnam may be_secured. The Sidney Heath house, which is on_the property, is to be remodefod and fitted up 50 @s to furnish the re- quired convenjences or the members. When the work on this will be taken up has not been definitely decided. it was said by one of the officials of the organization on Friday after- noon, but this will be done as prompt- ly_as possible. Not a great length of time will be required to put the golf course in shape for use and a fine season of sport is in prospect for the more than 100 members who have already joined and the others who will do_so. Junior Prom Proves a Social Success, Members of the junior class of the Putnam High school and their guests had a delightful time at the junior prom. at the high school gymnasium Friday evening. The decorations were pleasing as were all the other arrange- ments for an affair that is always one of the special social events of the vear. Big Audience Greets Pair of Sixes. Bradley theater held one of _the largest audiences of ‘the &eason Fri- day evening, when that very popular comedy, A Pair of Sixes, was present- ed by what is known as the English company, a fine organization. The play was as well recelved here as has been the case everywhere during its very successful Tun and proved a real satisfying attraction. There were many automobile pertles from sur- rounding towns.
