Total Egg Production in 44th Week at Storrs Contest Was 2359, The total egg production in the 4ith week of the egg laylng contest at Storrs amounted to 3359. This figure represents a gain ovér the previous week’s production of 31 eggs, and 68 eggs more than the production in the corresponding week last vear. First honors for the week were won by Mer- ritt M. Clark's Barred Rocks from Brookfiele Center, Conn., with 54 eggs. Francis F. Lincoln’'s White Leghorns from Mt. Carmel, Conn, were second with a production of 49 eggs, while two pens of Leghorns belonging to P. G. Platt, 'Waliingford, Pa., and F. M. {Peasley, Cheshire, Conn., tied for third I place with a production of 46 eggs leach. | “Hen No. 823, belonging to. George hillips, Seymour, Conn., has distin- guished lerself for the past two weeks by laying unusually large eggs. Dur- ing this period ehe has laid 9 eggs weighing a total of 167 pcunds. On the weizght basis these 9 eggs are equivalent to 13 average eggs but ac- cording to the rules of the contest the bird can only be given credit for 9. Tt is interesting in this connection that these large eggs are not d>uable yolked or otherwise abnormal. rerhaps the most interesting question arises from the fact that this bird has been laying normal sized eggs during the past sev- eral months. Just why she should be- gin to now lay very large ones is a matter that probably no one can ex- plain. The mznagement has announced that up to the present time a tot# of more than 125 applicants for the next or seventh contest have been recelved. Needless to say, some of tha applicants will have to be disappointed, as there is only :oom for 100 pens. The three best pens in edch of the principal varieties are as follows: Barred Plymouth Rocks.

BUMPER CROP OF POTATOES IS INDICATED. So the Price Ought to Be Unusually Cheap This Year. That 1t" will be pessible for the thrifty householder to put in the cellar a supply of potatoes sufficient to with- tand a long siege of winter and at a price which_ will not be a heavy drag on the family pocketbook is indicated by reports from the farm districts ad- jacent to Norwich. The first diggings in the many well tilled firlds indicate a bumpcr crop later on when all the tubers nave been forked and hauled from the hills and furrows and the price—well, the big growers say the cost of a bushel of potatoes should not exceed 96 cents, and on orders of 10 bushels and more the quotations may be 75 cents or less per buskel. Louis Rieger and son of \Waterford planted 5¢ bushele of seed potatoes in the spring and they estimate a crop in excess of 700 bushels. The potatoes so far dug are of large size, free from grub. hole, sun o- rot spots, and they arg ready for the bins at present. They. specialized in_FEarly Rose and Green Mountain varieties. - At the Bela Pratt farm in Salem all ‘previous records for a potato crop are said to_have been broken. The samples of Irish Cobblers Lrought to New London by the farm supérinten- dent are maid by experts tv be' the best, showing in many years. Tha home gaxdens in and abaut- the city, the little backyard plots, have been productive in excess of $redic- tions, and the man who planted a bushel of seed potatoes in his home garden in the spring will realize, it is estimatel, from 12 to 15 bushels on his investment. ‘Bumper crops in turnips. beets, cab- bage and winter squash are reported in various. sections of the city and the nearby suburbe and the tomato vines are freighted with fruit. The canning season for tomatoes ‘s now at hand and as this vegetable can be put up at a minimum cost it is nearly all profit. The peach growers say they will be able to market a large crop this month and at a price which will enable the thrifty housewife to put a crimp in the high cost of a tatle luxury. Two years ago it was possible to secure I the open market a 16 quart basket of high grade peaches for 56 cents, and the gro-vers say the sama conditions are liable to prevail this month. With the prospect of a reduction ir the price of sugar which is promised by govern- ment officials and food administrators, there will be an opportunity for the man of small means to provide a well stocked larder of fruit.

Many. housewives do not realize that it 1is ‘not. necessary to use sugar in canning pepobas tha hawmal ia empty and prices are high. In a peach district there may be an abundance of peaches and a lack of sugar. Can without sugar and sweet- en the product to suit the taste when ready to use. Canning - without sugar: Scald firm frult to remove the skins. Cold dip and pack whole, in halves or slices in sterilized jars. Fill the jars with boiling water. , Partlally seal and cook in the hot water bath for 30 minutes. Peaches canned by this method may be used for pies and other desserts or served like fresh fruit tith cereals for breakfast, HAS NO POWER TO SELL wooL For Any But Red Cross and Navy League Work. The National Service Leagune wishes to correct a somewhat general misap- prehension that has arisen as to the purchasing of wool to be used for knit- ting The league has no power to sell any wool for any but Red Cross and Navy League work. Every pound of wool sent to them Is charged to their account and must be returned to either Red Cross or Navy League to the same amount as finished articles. Thus it may readily be seen that nons of it can be sold for other than this work and no personal knitting cam be done with this material as the wool is supplied below cost. Tt would also not be falr:-to the merchants to undersell or compete with them In any way. It is only at the call of the T 8. gove ment that the Red Cross and the Navy I.eague are carrying on thls great piece, of work and Norwich's ouota of 2100 sets calls for great ef- fort on the part of her loyval women. ‘There will be wool supplied for this number of sets bnt It can be used only for this purpose and no other. The two organizations named must be the distributing agents as they have means of knowing where the most ur- gent needs lie. e t RED CROSS WHIST.
