Conditions in the town of Norwich are no different than the existing conditions _throughout New England and the country in gen- eral, and unless something is done there is fear of a milk famine. ‘There is considerable agitation among the members of the Norwich Milke ucers’ Association over mis- leading statements that have been made in open letters which have ap- peared in the press columns in regard to the price d by the associa- tion, ‘ective May 1. That these statements have been swallowed whole by consumers who object to paving twelve cents a quart for milk seems to be the general opinion among the producers. The account books of one local pro- dueer showed that Quring A he made a profit of but $32.50 for the month, selling at nine cents a quart and the size of his routs compares very favorably with the average route hereabouts. I am going out of bus- iness altogether for the simple reason that I can earn $100 @& month right along, said this producer. 1 consider my time worth more than $32.50 a month, he added as an afterthought. The 'local situation was the topic of a spirited meeting of the producers held in the Transportation building Thursday evening, with President J. D. McCarthy in the chair. After nearly a three-hour session, featured by Tively debates the meeting broke up with but little accomplished. The majority of the producers left the room discouraged over the hopeless- ness of the situation and determined te g0 out of bustness unless thing is done right away. A meeting of the Bastern Connnec- ticut members of the New England Milk Producers’ Association is o be held in the county agent's room in this city on Monday next at 11 o'clock in the morning. In connection with this meeting County Agent F. C. Warner has received tho following let- ter from the secretary of the New England Association: According to reports received by us, several things, including the lack of grain and the soaring prices, are put- ting the New England dairy industry in a decidedly -precarious _position. Few people, farmers least of all, Te- cognize the serfousness of the aitu- ation. You as a student of conditions will appreciate the necessity of quick and effective action We appeal to you therefore to assist us in awakening the consuming and the producing public to the real situation and its possible consequences. For this purpose we have called mass mestings of dairy- men in nearly every county in New Bngland on Monday, May 7th at such place and hour as the county officers, named below, designat Will _you not cooperate with them in making this meeting a success by assisting in preparing for it, by attendance and participation? Grain we must havel. Shall we buy or raise #t? Can we buy it at any price? Can we raise it? What will it cost to buy it or to raise it? What must we get for our product? Can We substitute something eise for dairy- ing? What is best to do anyhow and how shall we go about doing it? We believe the most important agri- cultural duty in New England today is to keep the cows on the farme. How can it be done? The public when it appreciates its danger will be will- ing to help. The dairvmen must show the necessity that something be done and their willingness to do their vart. COAST ARTILLERY MAY SOON BE CALLED Adjutant General Cole Asked For For- ward Data.

J. B. The treasurer of the home garden committee on Thursday received a check for $25 from the local grange as a contribution towards the home garden work in this city. The cash contributions now amount to $245. It is hoped to increase this sum to $300. The J. B. Martin company of Taft- ville have set the pace in the local movement for they have arranged for a noon day gathering of the help to- morrow when over half a hundred lots will be assigned by common lot num- bers to be drawn by each gardener. The company has requested that the chamber of cominerce secure as Spe: ers for the meeting County Agent I Warner and Home Garden Supervisor Alfred Shelden.

Frea Pingpanic. lot 13: Tony Chri street, lot 14; Harry mount street, lot 15 The fitting and planting of small gardens is the topic of a bullctin pre- pared by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment staticn for the state of Connecticut committee on food supply. The bulletin gives the folowing sug ght: I land is densely shaded by trees, high walls or fences, garde ing cannot be euccessful. At Jeast five hours a day of exposure to direct sun- light is needed. Lettuce, spinach, and even carrots and beets will grow with lese sun, “at a pinch,” but not to much advantage. Water: Crops are oftener cut short because of lack of water than for lack of fertilizer. Be ready for a dry_spell, Cspecially on loose sandy soil. Water abundantly, when needed, stir the soil to @ depth of an inch as soon as the surface is dry enmough, and then wait until the soil is quite dry before water- ing again. Give your land time to breathe betwoen drinks. A good rule for beginners is to use a ‘sprinkler, moving it along sp that the soii drinks the water and none stays on the surface (that is, puddles). Go over the bed repeatedly until pud- dling happens almost 2s soon as more water is added—and then stop. Soil: The soil must be spaded, turned over and crumbled, with a epade or flat-tined spading fork, to a depth of six or seven inches, and cleared of all Stones and other refuse at the same time. If manure can be got, it should be spread over the land before spading. Do not be afrald of putting on too much manure. Neglected solls greatly need the vegetable matter of manure %o give them the bacterial lite on which fertility depends. ‘After spading, rake the surface to make it fairly smooth and break large lumps. Don't finely pulverize the sur- face till planting time, and don't jet the surface cake or cruat after rgin, but break the crust with the rake. Manure: Get manure if you can— fine rotted manure without long straw in_it. Fertilizers: Build the spring bonfire near but not on_the gardsn spot, un- lesa necessary. Put every waste thing from the hous~ or premises into it that will burn, and spread all the ashes on “he spaded garden. The ashes of dead leaves have little but lime in them, but use them. too. But look out for fire! Rake in the ashes at once. Commercial Fertilizers: Use a 4-10 formula (4 per cent. of ammonia and 10 per cent. of phosphoric atd), or a 4-5, and spread evenly over the surface at ‘the rate of not less than 20 nor more than 40 pounds to each plot 20x 40. (Any dealer in fertilizer will un- derstand what these figures mean.) This should be weil worked into the soil by repeated raking, and then, af ter a special raking to make the sur face soil emooth and fine and clear of all_rubbish, you are ready to plant. Even if abundant manure and fer- tilizers cannot be got, carefal Ta- tion of the soll, good tilage of the Srowing crops anc skilful watering | beets a little thinner. may yet give & falr return for the How to Plant: Put tall-growing crops other crops and leave more room be- tween the rows. Distance of Planting: Drop all the seeds mentioned hereafter, excét pets an, about eight or ten to the inch of Afill re sown about two the inch. smaller the seed, the closer the sow- Be pth of Planting: Small garden seeds, as a rule, are planted about one inch deep; lettuce one-half to three- quarters inch deep; beans two inches, and peas three inches deep. In all cases the soil, if 1{ght, should be gently packed down over thie seed. ‘What to Plant: The following sched- ule is planned for a smail garden spot of 300 square feet (20 fest by 40 fest). n 80 small a garden no great variety of vegetables should be grown. Those vegetables have been named which of- fer the best supply of food. Neames of a few good varleties are given. There are other varieties probably as good. The quantities of seed given amn probably sufficient. If three times the area is planted, probably twice ths amount of seed would suffice, except of beans and peas. Fordhook bush Lima bsans and summer squash, planted May 20-25, parsley and sweet peppers. aiso aweet corn, would be possible in a larger garden. For food value, nothing is better in the small garden than snap beans. In addition to the vegetables named, by all means plant New Zealand spin ach, if seed can be got, and no other kind, two rows 1 1-2 feet apart. Heére follows the schedule: First Row: Tomatoes.

The plan under which the United States department of agriculture will direct work for incremsed food sup- ply throughout the nation has been described to the Connecticut Commit- tes of Food Supply by Wallace D. Whelpton, one of fifteen agents of the department now working in _varlous sections of the country, who has just completed a series of conferences with the state food supply committe, It has been shown §- this first meeting of the federal agent ana the state committes that the Connecticut plans for greatly increased farm pro- duction and the department of agri- culture plans deve-tail into one anoth- er as perfectly as though they had been designed by the same person. Roallzing that farm labor is one of the greatest problems in the entire food supply question, the federal de- partment of agriculture is laying con- siderable stress upon its plan for put- ting the man willing to perform this to cultivate can get him. The state food supply commission has taken this matter up and the pledge blanks Is- sued for volunteers in the Connecti- cut Agricultural army provide spaces for promises to work on farms. The federai plan includes a sefies of blanks upon which are listed those willing to work on farms, the time they will give to the work and tho pay they expect, as well s the names of farmers who want help and the kind of work to be done and the wages to be paid. These federal blanks, put in the hands of the town clerks, will form 2 valuable auxiliary to the Connecticut system. With the co-operation of the department of agriculture, the system is complete, for the state will work through the towns as the smallest units, then througi the counties and county agents, while the federal plan will colordinate the efforts of all the state Just as the state committee will un- dertake to move man from one town where there is a surplus of farm la- bor to another locality where there is 2 rhortage. wo the federal department w!
