PAYS TO SPRAY POTATOES FOR BLIGHT. County Agent Says All Farmers Spray and Find It Profitable. \Oounty Agent F. C. Warner has sent to the members of the county potato clubs copies of the following letter, prepared by W. L. Slate Jr., of the agronomy department, Conne: ticut Agricultural college: Many careful experiments show that it pays to spray patotoes for blight as well as for bugs. All progressive farmers spray and find it profitable. You, as a good potato grower, of course expect to spray. If you can get bluestone (copper- sulfate), make you{n ewn bordeaux mixture as follows. issolve one pound of bluestone in a pail full of water. It will dissolve more quickly if put in a coarse bag @nd hung in the water. Slack one pound of fresh lime and dilute with & pail of water. Pour these together in a tub or barrel and add enough water to make ten gallons. This makes bordeaux mixture of the standard strength and should be enough to cover your plot once. Be sure to strain through cheese- cloth when you fill the sprayer. The spray nozzle will clog if you do not. It may ‘not be possible to obtain the bluestone. It i§ very scarce, due to the war. In such a case, get a ready- made epray and use according to di- rections. For the potato beetles (bugs) either paris green or arsenate of lead may be used. To each ten gallons of bor- deaux add one-quarter pound of paris green or three-quarters pound of ar- senate of lead paste. If you use paris green, add a little lime to prevent burning. Tn either case, stir up in a little water and pour into the spray mixture. Make the first application when the vines are eight to ten inches h You will probably need the poison the first two or three applications. Re- peat often enough to keep the vines covered. This means five to eight times, depending on the rains. Try to apply the spray in a_ fine mist and cover the entire plant. Keep up a good pressure in the spray tank.

Slate, Jr., of the-agronomy depart- ment, Connecticut Agricultural college, has Deen sent out to the corn club members of the county by County Agent F. C. Warner: Last month your letter told the why and of cultivating corn. A month has passed and we have had very little weather warm enough to make corn sprout, to ray nothing of growing. It is hoped that all the corn plots were planted early and that good stands were gecured. If for any reason you do not have a perfect stand, remember that very good care may overcome the lack somewhat, You, of course, realize that this wet weather makes the grass and weeds grow as fast or faster than the corn. Take advantage of all the hot days and cultivate or hoe thoroughly. The time to kill weeds is when they are small. Soon the corn will shade the ground and help to check the weeds and grass. The point, then, of our letter is this —keep the weeds and grass out of your corn, Another suggestion may be made about fertilizing. Tt sometimes pays to make a seccnd application about the time the corn is ready to tassel or shortly before. If you have any fer- tilizer left, scatter it very lightly be- tween the rows and cultivate it in. I speak of this now because the heavy rains have washed much of the soluble plant food out of the soil and the corn needs something to make it grow faster, since it is late this vear. —— e BANK STATEMENTS No. 857 THE CONDITION tional Bank at Norwich, of khnnccu the close on June 50, 1916 RESOURCES. 1. a Loans and discounts (except thos own on BY o .$1,678,618.74 Overdrafts, Says REPORT OF The Thames in the State of business secuied, unsecure 2,021.56 bonds deposited e circulation (par 109,000.00 ):c:hn $12,000.00 b Bond: than U, 122,794.00 1,080,739.58 securities, etc. ther than Fed- rve bank stock 2, iption tc £ Feder: > bank .$96.000 b Less amount unpaid 48,000 45,000.00 of bankin O unencumbered) 160,000.00 i mount due from Reserve bank 80,000.00 $92,211.60 aen reserve ——— 165,890.04 12, Net amount due from banks and bankers (other 1ded in 10 or 11) 44,146.84 ecks on banks in same city or town as reporting bank ...... 15._ a Outside checks and other cash iten $835.82 b Fractional cur- ren nickels and 1,248.35 — 210417 16, Notes of other national anks 5 .00 18.

Pearson of this city has been appointed chief marshal of_the auto parade from Norwich gnd New London to Webster, Mass, next Thursday. The appointment was made by Joseph T. Cruttenden, president of the Eastern Connecticut Development committee. The occasion of the pa- rade is the Connecticut Pow Wow to be held at Lake Chargoggagogsman- chaugagogghaubunagungamaug. For- merly this was the annual outing of the Eastern Connecticut Development Committee, but this vear it Includes no less a body than the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, both merging as one. Not only this but the state has departed from its custom and al- lowed its neishbors from Massachu- setts to be among those present. The occasion will be one splendid time with the emphasis placed on pPOW-Wow. On Thursday the local committee sent out a letter to the Norwich mem- bers in regard to the outing. The let- ter reads in part as follows: The summer outing of all the Cham- bers of Commerce of Connecticut, to be held at Lake Chargogzagoggman- chaugagoggchaubunagungamaug, just north of Putnam, Thursday, July 13th, in point of preparedness and attend- ance, promises to outshine all our pre- vious efforts. The Norwich Chamber of Commerce representing the largest city in east- | ern Connecticut, is proud, and justly so, of her larze and growing member- ship, approximately 110 of whom own automobiles. Fully two-thirds of | the above have signified their inten- tion to take in this outing, and many others at the last moment will decide to_go.

The start from this city will be made at 8.30 in the morning. H. R. Branche said that the local chamber has a-fast baseball team to play against New London and “we'll bring that cup back to Norwich” he continued. New London’s Big Delegation. New London is making extensive plans for the outing. The New London order at a special meeting held at the Municipal build- ing Wednesday evening, launched plans which indicated that that city, or the Pequots as they are called by the other chambers, will be much in evidence and alive at the pow-wow. Indications now show that fully 100 New Londoners, both members of the chamber and non-members wiil be present at the meeting. Endeavors will be made by the entertainment committee consisting of W. J. Clarke, Henry C. Chappell and George Fisher, to have enough automobiles on hand transport New Londoners to the lake. The chamber empowered Georze J. Loughman to order one hundred I dian hats and have a tag made con- taining the - words: “I'm from New London. I'm a Pequot” It is in- tended to attach this tag to the In- dian hat, which will be decidedly nifty and ideal for the outing. The starting time for the lake w: placed at 7.45 o'clock in the morninc from the Muni building and all cars will start in line tow the grounds. New London Wants That Cup. Edwin C.

Major Burke, who as an old Indian fighter met the men now heading this country’s military activities when the were lieutenants, forgot the show bu ness long enoukh to give a few ideas a to what should be done in Mex e “Go slowly,” he said empha “but keep agoing. The men at the hea of our military activities today have the best mental, physical and exp ence training in the world, and if the pacifists, faddists and impractical poli- ticians will give them the reins today they can and will handle the Mexican affair properly and efficiently. the situation. I believe in not risking anything until you hold all four aces. This coumtry, with its 100,000,000 peo- ple, its great wealth and resources, will enable us to handle the situation efficiently. “We are not_prepared. That is the simple fact. But we have such re- sources that all we nked is a unanimity of sentiment and_direction of action. The people in Mexico, the mass of them, do not know what they are do- ing. They are controlled by a lot of traitors, wanton bandits and they are the ones to be eliminated. “If we send plenty of men to the Rio Grande to guard the borders, plen- toy of machine guns, and then take plenty of time to get our good but green materfal in condition, we can then relieve the regulars from guard duty. With both coasts blockaded, we will hold the sitwation, and inside of four months can settle matters, either through some peaceful means or starve them out . Carranza and the other hot- heads would at the end of that time not be in any positio nto control the Mexicans and defy the United States.” First Death From Measl, Measles claimed its first victim in the present epidemi¢ at New Lon- don late Wednesday afternoon. The victim was Marlan Carola of 1 Mitchell court, 18 months old. The child was taken 111 by measles and be- fore a physiclan was caled to attend her, she developed pneumonia which complications resulted in her death. This is the first death to result from measles in the city where there have been more than 500 cases dur- ing the past few weeks.

No statement could be obtained as to the nature of the financial project that may be in contemplation.

Since the purpose to compel their withdrawal has been abandoned, however, officials do not look for another deadlock on that is- sue. President Wilson is said to be ready to order > troops out prompt- ly when he has any assurance that it will not mean merel the conditions that caused them to be sent in. But no plan of action now agreed upon can be based upon an agreement to withdraw them a renewal of Mobilization of Guard Continues. Mobilization of the national guard continued to go forward on schedule according to war department reports and the state soldiers are cer- tain to get valuable experience upon the border before they are released from the federal ser Just how long it will b neces: to_maintain all or part of the force to aid the reg- ul: in patrol duty cannot now be predicted with accuracy. Bvents in Mexico will determine that. It is certain, however, that the entire mobile regular army will be kept in border garrison while there is the remotest danger of new bandit uprisings. First Sign of Lessening of Tension. Publication today of Secretary Ba- ker’s order that members of the guard with dependent families be discharged from the service was the first sizn at the war department that tension on the border had relaxed. It is regard- ed as making unnecessary any legis- lation on the subject of relief for sol- diers’ families and also carries out the expressed desire of President Wilson that the border patrol be arranged so as to work as little inconvenience for the citizen soldiers as possible. Further reports of the return of Ameriean refugees from Mexico reach- ed all government departments. State department officials anticipated that many would desire to go back at once, in view of the favorable turn in the international situation. Every effort to dissuade them will be made. No Additional Measure for Protection of Americane. In this connection it was stated of- ficially that no additional measures had been in contemplation for the protection of Americans who refused to leave durfng the days when war seemed almost at hand. State depart- ment officlals have exhausted every effort to get all nationals out of Mex- ico. They hold that those who re= mained there did eo at their own risk and that the government could doj| s N to be as' i
