THE BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Considarable New Construction Work " Contemplated About the State. Sales of real estate for the second ‘week of the year show a slight in- crease over last year, while mortgage loans for the week show a large in- crease over a year ago. The follow- ing are the figures: 1917 sales of real by warranty deed 392, as com- with 343 a year ago, and mort- gage loans this year of $1,798,452. ‘with $937,614 in 1916. “The five petitions in bankruptcy last week have fotal assets of $15,040 and liabilities of $34,650. In the corres- ponding week of last year there were four petitions, having agsregate as- sets of $6,558 and liabilities of $9,297. There has been a large increase in the ' number of new incorporations formed in this state during the past ‘week, as compared with the like week a year ago. For the current week 13 new companies, having aggregate cap- ital stock of $470.000, have been form- ed in Connecticut, while in week of 1918, the five companies had total capital stock of but $95,000. Building permits were issued last week in the cities of New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, Dridgeport. Stamford and New Britain to the number of 87 for n construction work to cost $208.4%85 the largest amount of new work being Bridgeport. week of January 60 permits were is- sued for new work to cost $326.548. Among the new projects of the past week are large addition to University Club in Bri@geport, also large apart ment building and two stores apartment blocks in the same city, be- sides a number of two-family houses: new block, brick stable and garage and new high ~ school building in Hartford: business block in Stamford; brick fac- tory bullding. amusement block and a number of one and two-family houses in New Haven, and bids are also be- |on the mill and storehouses will soon ing received on revised plans for the proposed new high school bujlding in ‘Waterbury. K} Very few important contracts we: let last week as is usually the case in the early part of January. A brick and steel factory has been started in New Haven, new schoolhouse in Bran- ford, building for the Y. W. C. A. in Hartford, 30 houses for the Bridge- port Housing Association in Bridge- port, and new fire station in the same city, and a brick garage in Waterbury. Norwich had one sale of real estate | plins call for exiensi last week to 15 for the same week last vear. The-ioans for the respective weeks were 35.230 and $17,115. In New London there were no_sales last week to nine a year ago. Loans totaled $5,200 and $20,150 for the re- speative weeks. MYSTIC. Ground has been broken opposite the railroad station for the plant for a new industry for Mystic, The Bast- ern Ready-Cut Home Co. Charles Dodge of Mystic and his brother-in- law, Robert Clift of Baltimore, pro- prietors. Mr. Dodge anticipates a big business in this line and the erection of many new dwellings in Mystic and vicinity is expected to be the result. CLERK’S RECOVERY ASTONISHES NORWICH Norwich people will marvel at this cleri’s recovery. His stomach was so bad he could eat very little. Every- thing fermented and soured. Had stomach cough. Doctor advised buck- thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. ONE _SPOONFUL helped him INSTANTLY.

Hearn of Hol- yoke, who has made the following re- port: “In order to produce the best results a demonstration plot should, I believe be quite successful as a garden. With this in mind, it cannot be sai dthat the Holyoke demonstration plot gave maximum returns. The plot however did fairly well considering the facts that the soil lacked natural fertility, the proper texture and lime. As it would not be possible to secure the plot a _second year it was not dsemed advisable to try to remedy these de- focts; because of the cost coupled with the knowledge that remedial measures ‘would not be entirely effective for two or_more years. “After the plot, which was 45 by 45 feet, was plowed and harrowed sev- eral barrows of large stones were re- moved. It was worked over several times with the rake for the purpose of leveling and pulverizing the sofl. ‘While going over with the rake many witchgrass root stocks were taken out. Because of the many hours spent in trying to eradicate witchgrass dur- ing ‘the season, I believe the best plan would be to dig out all of the witchgrass at the outset even though it did make the start a little slower. Thie would save much valuable time during the growing season. The plan of the garden was fur- nished by the horticultural adviser of the Hampden county improvement § Tested Over 60 Years When a product has been used faith- fully for more than 60 years—it must have real merit aad it surely must do what people say itewill.

With corn at the present prices that product $nay profitably become one of the cash crops on Connecticut farms, if the farmers of the state can equal the records made by corn club boys during the past season. Of the one hundred and thirty-one enrolled corn club members twenty- seven carried their work through to completion and some very interesting reports were submitted. Corn club members raise an acre or half acre of corn accordiing to thelr age and are required to keep cost ac- count records, a record of all expendi- tures for seed, fertilizer, horse cultiva- tor, etc., and charge their own time at so much an hour, write a story of their work and exhibit ten of their best ears of_corn. The highest yields of corn were ob- tained by Ewart and Merrill Healey of North Woodstock, each growing 112 bushels of shelled corn per acre. Bwart, the older of the brothers, pro- duced’ his corn more cheaply and therefore made a larger profit. His cost for raising his acre of corn was $44.60; his receipts were $172.33, show- ing a profit of $127.73. The receipts from this prize acre were made up as follows: 102 bu. of corn at $1.15 10 bu. of seed corn at $: 4,628 1bs. stover at $6.00 .. $118.45 40.00 13.88 $172.33 I we subtract the value of the stov- er from the cost of production it cost but 27.1 cents per bushel to produce this corn which yielded a profit of $1.14 per bushel. It should be born in mind that this record is unusual and cannot be_duplicated by everyone. The total amount of corn produced by corn club members was 1,068 bush- els, which with the stover was worth $1,477. This includes the seed corn which is worth from two to four dol- lars per bushel. The total profit to corn club members was $917.60, the average yleld 66.75 bushels per acre, the average profit $57.35 per bushel, and the average cost per bushel of corn 62.8 cents. From theme records we see that the average coam club boy raises more corn per acre than the average far- mer by eighteen bushels per acre. This ought to mean that when the present corn club Boys have farms of their own the average yleld of corn for Connecticut ‘will be greater and Con- necticut will be more prosper- ous—A. G.

GROWING BUCKWHEAT Buckwheat is the least common of the.grains, vet this crop in New York last year totaled more than 280,000 acres, and Pennsylvania stands a a close second. Michigan, Wisconsin, West Virginia, New Jersey and the other eastern and New England states also produce large crops of this grain. Buckwheat has, until recently, been given but little attention’ by experi- ment _stations and consequently the crop has been quite frequently grown in a very haphazard way. Buckwheat has been called a “poor land” crop. It is true that buckwheat will frequently preduce a profitable crop on land too poor to produce either oats or rye profitable, but it will do still better if given good treatmennt. In fact, the New York Experiment Station finds that “buckwheat when grown on poor lana responds well to moderate dress- ings of even low grade fertilizer and many farmers who do not fertiliz- er on other crops find it profitable to purchase it for buckwheat.” One Spud Every Three Day. One potato every three days to each person in the United States, Instead of one potato every day, is the limit allowed by the 1916 potato crop, mc- cording to Eugene H. Grubb, the “Po- tato King” and owner of extensive po- tato lands near Garbondale, Colo. His fifgures are based upon an average of 100 potatoes per bushel and a total production of 250,000,000 bushels which means only a bushel and a peck or 128 potatoes this year for each Ameri- can. “In knowledge of potato culture and fertility of the soil farmers in the United States are from forty to fifty years behind the farmers of Europe. The potato crop is the most difficult one to grow. This vegetabble is most easily affected from bad soil and weather conditions,” said Mr. Grubb, “If farmers of America studied the raising of potatoes their crops would average from 200 to 250 bushels @h acre instead of eighty bushels as at present. Some of the best 'armers abroad make their lands yield as high as 500 and even 700 an acre. When we can do this we will see material decreases in the celebrated high cost of living.” The Quiet Work of the Experiment Station. ‘There Is nothing spectacular in the work of an agricultural experiment station. Its workers are” not in the public eve. Hundreds of men are fol- lowing practices derived from its in- vestigations without being awar that they are so doigs. Agricultural pro- gress has been, and always must be, of an_evolutionary nature. The growth has been so steady and the changes have come about so gradually that it is_only by stopping lang enough to make comparisons by decades that one becomes conscious of how great these | changes are” said Dr. Charles D. ‘Woods, of the Maine Experiment Sta- tionn recently in the Lewlston Journal. “Without the results of research, the teachings that led to the development of the production, the transportation| and the sale of farm commodities could mot have been possible. As with no other. industry in the United es,, agriculture has utilized the re- sults “of the painstaking research of the lahoratory.” Seed Bed Needs, Ideal secd-Led preparation consists in" diskimg: plowing, rolling if neces- g Bl sary, then disking and harrowing. A fine, compact seed. bed in which there are no holes facilitates the rise of moisture while a loose. mulch on top holds it for the plants. The the crops. Clods will not grow crops, nor hold moisture. It is poor policy to plow under a large amount of organic matter such as green cover crops and strawy manure without disking just before plowing, because such a coarse layer cuts off the supply coming ffom the subsoil. ‘A well pre- pared fine, firm, well-drained seed bed is the foundation of . successful growing: right. Growing df Oats in New England. “What ‘has been done for the potato growing Of oats in Maine, Dr. C. Woods of the Maine Experiment Sta- tion points out that in 1913 the aver- age yield ‘of oats in the country was about 50 bushels per acre. ‘The value of the Maine oat crop in 1913 was es- timated at a little over three million dollars. The average yield per acre of'15 varietles tested during 1912 and 1913 at the Maine Experiment Station ‘was 83.7 bushels and in 1914 98.2 bush- els, \and was three times that of the average yield for the entire country. Wigh such results being obtained at the 'Maine Experiment Station, _the farmeys of Maine and the other New England states will. within a few years,| be making greater use of oats as a farm crop and will be getting far more profitable vields than ever. be- fore. With yields suited to climate and sofl, and Wwith proper attention to the plantfood and cultural needs of the crop the yields of oats and other farm crops throughout the New England states can be increased and in many cases more than doubled.

The maintenance of the Turkish empire was during many generations regarded by statesmen of world-wide authority as essentlal to the maintenance of European peace. ‘Why, it is asked, should the cause of peace be now associated with a com- plete reversal of this traditional pol- fey? Circumstances Have Changed. “The answer is that circumstances have completely changed. It is un- necessary to consider now whether the creation of a reformed Turkey me- diating_between hostilé races in ibe Near East was a_scheme which, had the sultan been sincere and the pPow- , could cver have been. re- alized. It certainly cannot be real- ized now. The Turkey of ‘union and progress’ is at lcast as barbarous and is far more aggressive than the Tur- key of Sultan Abdul Hamid. In the hands of Germany it has ceased even in appearancc to be a bulwark of peace and is openly used as an mstru- ment of conquest. Under German of- ficers Turkish soldiers are now fight- Ing in lands from which they had long been expelled and a Turkish govern- ment controlled, subsidized and sup- ported by Germany has been guilty of massacres in Armenia and Syria more horrible than any recorded in the his- tory even of those unhappy countries. Evidently the interests of peace and the claims of nationality alike require that Turkish rule over alien races shall if possible be brought to an end; and we may hope. that the expulsion of Turkey from Europe will contribute as much to the cause of peace as the restoration _of Alsace-Lorraine to France, or Italia Irredenta to Italy, or any of the territorial changes in- dicated in the allied note. Territorial Rearrangement. “Bvidently, however, such territor- 1al re-arrangements, though they may diminish the occasions of war, provide no sufficlent security against its re- currence. If Germany, or rather those in Germany who mould its opinions and control its destinies, again set out to domineer the world, they may find that by the new order of things the adventure is made more difficult, but hardly that it is made impossible. They may still have. ready to their hend a litical system organized through an frough on a milftary base: they may still st in their methods of attack, g0 that their more pacific neighbors Will be struck down before they can repare themselves for defense.

Germany Stood Aloof. “There are those who think that for this disease international treati and international laws may provide a suf- ficient cure. . But such persons have ill learned the lessons So clearly taught by recent, history. While other na- tione, notably. /the United States of Amerlca and Britain, were striving by treaties of arbitration to make sure that no chance quarrel should mar the peace they desire to make perpetual, Germany stood aloof. Her historians and philosophers preached the splen- dors of war; power was proclaimed as the true end of the state, and the gen- eral staff forged with untiring industry the weapons by which at the appoint- ed moment power might be achi#ved. These facts proved clearly enough that treaty arrangements. for maintaining peace were not likely to find much favor at Berlin; they did not prove that such treaties once made would be utterly ineffectual. - This became evi- dent only when war had broken out and the sought-out demonstration, when it came, was overwhelming.
