On Monday, August 6th, Panopolis received a telephone message from his partner in New York, Metropolis say- ing that everything was all right and Metropolis told his partner that he would be home soon. Panapolis thought nothing more of the incident until a few days later he says he reeeived a letter from Me- tropolis saying that he was sorry but he would not be back as he could not live with his wife. It seems that Me- tropolis had _domestic troubles for some time and that a few days previ- ous to his leaving there fiad been a heated argument. The letter received by Panopolis is the last heard of Metropoiis. ‘When Metropolis left with the funds he also left behind about $1,800 in un- paid bills for his partner to meet.

President Hartford County Farm Bureau: Hon. Joseph W. Alsop, Trustee Connecticut Agricul- tural College. . President Scoville of Litchfield County was the Initial speaker and his thorough nequaintanceship with the general subject for discussiony “The Problems We Face During the Next Eight Months,” gave everyone present a greater insight and knowl- edge of our great agricultural weak- nesses here in Connecticut. President Scoville said in opening that all agr!- cultural problems were based upon labor, that which effects every pro- ductive industry.. In ne class of labor can time be wasted more than on a farm. Some of the vital problems in conjunction with efficient farm man- agement today are: Efficlent farm equipment, crop rotation, live stock and dairying, swine improvement. Mr. Scoville stated that ten weeks old pigs In Connecticut rarely exceeded thirty pounds in weight, where “in Kansas and other Western states sixty pounds was the average weight. We must change our breeds, as New Eng- land stock has run out. The subject of marketing held the attention of evervone present because of its having to do with the family pur<e three time a day, three hundred and sixty-five days in the vear. Every community, regardless of size, sghould have a public market, said Mr. Secoville in reply to a question put to him dur- Ing intermission.
