BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Permits Show a Failing Off But the Value of the Structures to Be Erected is Greate Sales of real estate for the past week as shown by the number of war- ranty deeds filed in tho various cities of the state reported by the Commer- cial Record numbered 435, as compared with 346 a year ago. Mortgage loans, owing to two large mortgages filed in New Haven and New London last year show a decrease when compared with 1915. For the past week mortgage loans amounted to $1,420,004, while last year the grand total of $3.6! 013 was reached. Ten new companies having a total authorized capital stock of $102,945 were formed during the past week, vhile in the first week of July a year six companies with a total capi- talization of $381,000 were organized in the state. The three bankruptcy petitions for the week have assets of $4,131 and lia- bilitles of $18,645, which compares with three petitions having total as- sets of $95,081 and liabilities of $190, 61 in the corresponding week of last Charles H. Potter is having. drawn for Dutch Colonial house which will be built on Laurel Hill avenue. The house will be one and half stories in height, 30 feet by 40 feet, and there wil be seven room. The exterior will be shingled with 24 inch shingles and a sleeping porch will be erected in the rear. The interior will finished off in enamel with oak floors _downstairs.

In Third Annual Cattle Judging Con- test at Storrs. _In the spring, late in May or early in June an annual cattle judging con- te: s held at the Connecticut Agricul- tural College to give actual judging experience to students having had such courses in the College or School of Ag. riculture, nd it is an interesting climax to the work. It is made all the more attractive by an offering of bull calves to thc winners by breeders in the state. The high quality of the bulls offered made a premium most fortunate to the winner. John Hill of Norwich made the high- est total score in the contest this year. The total score is obtained by adding the grade for placing the animals, and the reasons in support of the placing for ea 1ss and totaling the score for all classes. Seven classes were | judged; viz: one of Ayrshires and two each of Guernseys, Hoisteins and Jerseys. This vear the sweepstakes man had a choice of bulls. They were offered by Gardiner Hall Co., South Willington (Holstein), E. R. Dunn, Southington (Jersey), and Hugh J. Chisholm, Port Chester, Y. (Ayr- shire). No sweepstake Guernsey was offered. The Holstein bull, whose dam has recently made 28 Ibs. of butter in | a week, was selected by Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill has Holsteins on fis home farm. E. W. Whitham of Kensington madc the highest score in judging Ayrshires and won the bull offered by Wilson H Lee, Orange, Conn,, for first prize. F. P, Miller of Waterbury made the nighest score in judzing Guernseys. No bull was offered for this place. H. Foote of Colchester made the highest score in Holsteins and won the bull offered by Wm. J. and Percy At- chison of Gaylordsville. John Hill made the highest score in Jerseys, but in winning the sweep- stakes the prize went to the man Scor- ing next highest in this breed. L. D. Minor of Bristol won the bull, there- fore, offered by E. T. Bedford, Greens Farms, Conn There wers_twenty-four men in the contest. C. H. Savage, a breeder near Storrs and Karl' B. Musser, Extension Dairymen, officiated as judges. The prizes are very valuable and were eag- erly contested for. VARIETY WITH A FEW STANDARD FOODS. Tn this day of superior marketing facilities the wise housekeeper can vary the daily routine much more sat- isfactorily than could her great grand- mother. However, it is easy to get into a rut by serving the same food cooked in the same way day after day. The following menus were worked out by a class In cookery at the Can- necticut Agricultural Collge, the prob- Jem being to plan twelve dinners us- ing only four common foods, beef, po- tatoes, cabbage and apples. without repeating a dish, and to select ap- propriate food combinations and at- tractive ways of s these. These menus could be used in winter or summer and it is hoped that they may suggest an answer to the house- keeper's oft-repeated question ‘“what shall I give my family for dinner to- day? 1. Roast beef, potatoes roasted with the beef, creamed cabbage, apple ple. 2. Brofled deef , French fried potatoes, hot slaw, apples and cream. 8. Corned beef, boiled pota- toes, boiled cabbage, apple brown det- ty. 4. Beef-steak ple, baked “pota- toes, cold-slaw, apple fritters. 5.

Several report that lice are plentiful on their melon vines following is taken from bulletin of the Illinc experiment station “This experiment station has had ex- very The perience in comb melon lice for the past 12 years. . A number of the more important materials recom- mended for the control of this insect have been used, but none of them h iven as satisfactory results as a com- mercial ration of nicotine sul- phate, known as “black leaf 40.” which has been thoroughly tested for | three seasons. “This material will not injure the melon foliage when used as strong as one part to 250 of water. One part to 50¢ or 600 of water is to all appear ances as effective, and should be used when particularly quick results are sired. One part to 1000 of water will prove practically as effective, and is recommended for use I commer- cial practice. from which these conclusions are drawn, a bar- rel pump, equipped with lead of hose, bamboo rod and with bent shank and fine successfully plications | Any outfit capable of throwing a fine spray with reasonable force may be used with equal succes: “The type of nozzle used is an i lice. that may fine portant matter in treating melon It should have a bent shank so the undersurfaces of the leaves be reached; and it should h cap in order that the mates ' may te distributed as a very fine m A single vermorel nozzle will be found better adapted to this purpose than some other nozzles for the reason that it throws a finer mis ing. In applylng the spray, high pressure should be used and the noz- zle_should be carefully moved about under and between the leaves. With due care in handling the nozzle, it is possible to reach th eundersurfaces of practically every leaf on the plants. “Black Leaf 40" solution is apparently so destructive to the lice that the finest mist, coming in contact with their bodies, is capable of killing them. “It will be, found easiest to apply the spray to melon a cucumber vines that hav been ‘rowed. This operation consists simply in turning the shoots during the growing season so that they will run in the direction of the rows, and, as described in a previous publication of this station, is highly advisable for purposes of weed killing and moisture retention. It is feasible, however, to treat melon vines that have not been ‘rowed’ though more time and material would be re- quired.” FERTILIZER FOR CORN. Should Not Be Placed In The Hill. Farmers were tempted this spring more than ever before to fertilize corn in the hill because of the high prices of fertilizers caused by the European war, but_this practice is false economy, ac- cording to Director C. E. Thorne of the Okio Experiment Station. He explains that while a spoonful of fertilizer ap- plied in_ the hill may sive the corn a good start, spreading fertilizer over all the ground will be more profitable in the long run. Since the roots of the plant extend out several feet around it, the fertil- izer can be utilized better by the plant it spread over all the feeding surface. A spoonful put in the hill can be used by only a few roots close to it. Di- rector Thorne says: “The plamnt roots can no more perform their full office around a single spoonful of fertilizer than can a swarm of bees fill their hive from ‘one clover blossom, even though that blossom stood in an inex- haustible fountain of nectar.” Then again, corn canmot use all the plant food, and following crops will make best use of the fertilizer when it is spread-evenly over the field. The in- crease in yleld of these crops is often nearly as.much asfthat secured in the crop fertilized. In one experiment at ‘Wooster, fertilizer bas been applied only to ‘wheat. 'x!he!!:| efir:m::r 235 g fanjincrease in; n the other ¥oropsin »the? rotation of 86 per near the open- | cent. of that secured in the wheat crop. In a similar experiment at Strongsville sub-station_this increase. has been 97 per cent. When fertilizer is put only in the hill of corn, it is out of “of 99 plants in every 100 of the small grains and grasses which follow the corn. BUCKWHEAT. Excellent Crop For Destroying Weeds and Improving Soil. Buckwheat is very senmsitive to cold and is killed by the first heavy frost. Yet it fills best in cool weather, and the sowings are deferred to allow only time for the crop to mature before frost occurs. Under the most favorable con- ditions a buckwheat crop will mature in ten weeks, but the average time is about 12 weeks. When seeded the first week in July in New York and Penn- sylvania and about a week earlier in New England it ig most likely to es- cape injury from hot weather, which, with drying winds and hot _nights, causes the flowers to blast and fail to produce seed. The seeding time for any locality is determined fairly .ac- curately by allowing it a period of 12 weeks for growth before the first kill- ing frost is expected. The farmer does not need expensive machinery for harvesting the buck- wheat crop. An old-fashioned cradle, although it requires hard labor. does the harvesting well. The drop reaper, however, is one of the most satisfac- tory machines for this. Many farmers use the ordinary binder, which practice is advisable where it can be followed. Cutting is begun as soon as the first lot of blossoms have disappeared, or often just before the first frost is ex- pected. Buckwheat will mature its seed in a few days, if, after cutting, the crop is left in loose bundles where they are dropped from the cradle or reaper. It should then be set up in small shocks and tied near the top with some strands of the straw bent upwards from the sides of the shock. The cut buckwheat is left in the field in the shocks until dry enough to thresh, when it is drawn in and threshed either with the flail or by machinery. The farmer need generally have no fear of this crop being damaged by cither insect enemies or fungous dis- ease, as the buckwheat plant is_but little affected by either of these. It is an excellent crop for destroving weeds and for renovating and putting the soil in fine meliow condition. SPRAYiNG POTATOES. Last year, due to moist weather in August, the losses from potato blight (rot) were heavy over larze sections of the country. The continued wet weather of this year may cause similar injury and will also encourage early blight. Sprayirg potatoes pays even in normal years—in blight years it makes the difference between success and failure. The spr deaux used is bor- That is, dis- solve of copper sulfate (blue vitriol) in a bucket of water, slack 5 Tbs. of quick lime, mix and make up to 50 gallons with water. Be sure to strain into the sprayer. For potato bettles (bugs), add to the above spray mixture 1 b, of Paris green and 1 Ib. of lime. The lime pre- vents burning.

Copper suifate is very high this year and it may be cheaper to use the ready y commonly mixture, 5-5-50. 1bs. de spra Use these according to directions The gals. made as above ought to cover an acre. Be sure to cover the vines well, using pressure enough to make a fine mist. Begin to spray when the vines are 6-5 inches high and repeat as often as necessary to keep them covered all season. This means 4 to § A SILO ON EVERY FARM. Praotical crops this every farmer has planted pring which will furnish more feed if put into the silo_than if nandled in any other way. In most cases they will also make more money, particularly if the season should be wet or late or both, as last year was. A few stateraents from farm letters 1 help tell why our slogan should be silo on every farm,” and why every mer should join those who have al ready built silos. Some of them say: “I never fed any other feed as cheap as silage. “I wouldn’t be without a silo. Mine paid for itself in two years.” “I practically wintered twenty head of stock on thirteen acres of silage, and wouldn’t have had enough if fed from the field.” A well-built_silo of any type will keep silage well, so the cost of differ- ent materials will in many cases de- cide whether to buy or build, and what type of silo to select. In choosing, low first cost, cheap maintenance, durability, and smooth air-tight wall should be demanded. Ordinarily the mcre permanent silo should be built. Plans and instructions for building concrete silos may be secured from your college of agriculture—M. A. R. Kelley PLOW IDLE LAND AND SEED IT. Hundreds of acres of good grass land that have been cut for many, many years, are producing practically no grass today. This investment is idle and bringing no returns. Why not make this working capital by plowing immediately, harrowing every 10 d: and seeding in August? Many acres were plowed up last season and treated in a similar manner with the result that after liming, fertilizing and reseeding they are producing from two to four tons of hay per acre where formerly they produced only a haif- ton. With hay selling from $20 to §25, what better investment of time and labor and money can be made than ihe renovation of our old hayfields. Eetter still, if possible, hayfields should be worked into the rotation where they cannot be reseeded with satisfactory 1esults. The first season’s crop should then more than pay for the entire cost of renovation. THIN APPLES, PEACHES, PLUMS. All should be active at this time of vear thinning aples. Peaches, if they have mot already been thinned should be at once. Plums should also be thinned to insure a good yvield. Those who have a gcod set should not hesi- tate to thin severely. The plum cur- culio and other insects have done con- siderable damage this year on the ap- ples, so that it is necessary to remove a large per cent. of the apples in or- der to get up the imperfect ones. All fruit should be removed except one on a spur, and if apples on spurs are close together they should be thinmed <o that they are only four to seven inches apart. EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES. The only difference between these and the standards is, these fruit in the summer and fall the first season they are set, and the standards. o not. The only difference in the culture cut off the blossoms until about four weeks before you wan: them to fruit. They will then fruit until the ground freezes in the fall. They are unique as a garden proposition and will please all who try them. If you want straw- berries and cream in the fall you can have them If you set these. ‘There are two varleties that are considered most at the present time. These are Progressive and Superb. The Progressive is by far the more productive as a fall bearer, but the Superb is some, and .the:quality of"both¥e *fine, ; Of course’ these fruit 'standards but the standards are best for the mai: = most satisfaction. The Superb will be f:h-amndnaaon:'hnm as the n crop. If setting oni( one variety of the fall bearers to t the first season, Progressive will give the more, satisfactory the second season to fruit at the regular time. The Progressive will pay to grow for the fall alone. —_— PEACH TREE BORERS. One of the Worst Enemies Can Be Eradicated With Proper Care. As nearly all peach growers realize the peach trec borer is one of ihe ‘worst enemies of peach trees. Prof. Slingerland in “The Manual of Fruit Insects” has: the following to say as to their control. “After the borers have been dug out in June,” says Prof. Slingerland, “the earth should be replaced at once and mounded up around the trunk to a height of ejght or 10 inches. This forces the moths to deposit their eggs higher on the trunk and causes the larvae to enter the bark farther from the roots, where it is easier to locate and destroy em. The combination of the digging-out and mounting methods is the cheapest and most practicable way of controllinfg the peach-tree Dborer. The number - of borers can be kept below the danger limit by this system alone if the work he thoroughly and regularly done, and if there are no neglected orchards nearby to furnish moths for a constant reinsectation. After the removal of the borers in the fall there is nothing to be gained by applying washes or wrappers, but many growers believe it pays to make such aplications in June before mounding the earth around the_ trunks.” At least 50 different kinds of washes bave been suggested for preventing the attacks of the peachi-tree borer in the century or more that American fruit-growers have been fighting this pest; some have been found injurious to the tree and many others = prac- tically worthless; most of these have Leen eliminated so that now only a very few are in common use. In gen- cral, washes are less effective than cne would expect because it is very difficult to cover the rough bark of the tree trunk thoroughly enough to fill all the minute cracks and crevices through which the young larvae usually gain entrance. Furthermore the growth of the tree causes the wash to crack, thus exposing a fresh surface to the young borers. Many washes contain a poison, Paris green or arsenate of lead, intended to poison the borers as they gnaw hrough the protective coat, but they are of doubt- ful value. The young larvge are very active and will usually be able to find some unprotected crevice before teginning to feed. BORDER DISPUTES FOR COMMISSION (Continued from Page One) manent relief of border conditions. A formal announcement is expected soon. ‘Whether the question submitted to | commission will follow the definition of the matters in dispute laid down in General Carranza’s latest note is not known, though Secretary Lansing’s re- ply apparently accepted that defini- tion. ~ The Mexican note said the rea- sonable anxiety of the United States on the one hand over the security of its borders, and the feeling of the de facto government on the other that the continued presence of American troops in Mexicg menaced freindly relations, constituted the problem to which a solution must be found. There are no present indications that a commission would go into ques- tions dependent upon these main is- sues but not directly involved in a settlement. - MEXICAN OFFICER REPORTS CARRIZAL FIGHT Carranza’s Official Organ Tells How the Trouble Began. Dallas, Texas, July 12—F1 Pueblo, official organ of the Carranza govern- ment, in its issue of July 1 received here 'today_printed the official report on the fight between Mexicans and American troops at Carrizal. The re- port comes from Lieutenant Colonel Genovevo Rivas, who of the Mexican troops after General Feliz Gomez was killed. The report was made to General Gonzales at Ju- arez, and sent by him to Mexico City. It follows: Looking For Gang of Bandits. “T have the honor to report to you that on June 21, at 7 a. m. an Amer- ican force composed of 80 or 100 men, appeared here. By order of General Felix G. Gomez I went out to confer with the gommander of said force to learn the object of its presence. He sald that he was looking for a gang of bandits that were in this vicinity. Determined to Push On. “I_told him there was no gang of bandits operating in this district, due to the perfect watchfulness of the con- stitutionalist forces. He then sald that he was going to Villa Ahumada to look for a deserter, to which I re- plied that we had orders not to per- mit American troops to move in any direction except toward the north. He replied that such orders mattered nothing to him; that he had orders to go to Villa Ahumada and that he would do. so regardless of our bul- lots. Gogez Proposed a Wait. “After I Lad reported the result of the interview General Gomez person- ally went to talk with the American commander, asking the same questions I had asked a few minutes beforer and receiving the same answer. Gen- eral Gogez told him that he would re- gret very much to be obliged to oppose the Americans with force and made him the proposition that he wait three or four hours until the matter could be put before the military commander at Juarez. American Officer Was Impatient. The haughty American commander replied that he did not want to lose took command | . A stubbornipackache is cause to sus- pect kidney trouble.
