Twelve samples of milk, three of Butter and one of cream were scored &t the regular quartejly dairy pro- ducts scoring held at ithe Connecticut Agricuitural college, Storrs, on Novem- ber 24th ‘The bacteria counts have Sust been reported and e score cards and suszestions for improvement are now beinz mailed to those who sent their products to be scored. Those receiving a score of 85 or bet- ter on milk and wishing same pub- lished are as follows. Fred Rosebrooks, Wil antic Ariel Mitcheison, Tarifville Albert Lanz, Rockville T F. W. Pitkin, South Manchester ‘Those receiving a score of 90 better were: Milo D. Befich, Litchfeld . Robert Thomas, Blackball The samples of cream was sent in by Robert Thomas of Blackhall and scored 90.35 points. The bacteria count ranged from 600 to 294800 per c. c. the average being 85000. It is interesting to note that sith the one exception those samples havinz a_count above 100,000 bhacteria . r. were sent in by men who had rot had their milk scored before.

Every fall brings its story of ‘acres and acres of corn in New Enagland caught by the frost before it was ripe. New England has a short growing season at best and if corn is to ma- ure here it must not lose a minute of the summer in performing its func- tion—growing and ripening grain. In the midsi of all the acres of frosted corn we find occasional acres which have stood ont above the rest all summer, have ripened early, and pro- duced a profit. -Why? Simply because the owner saw to it that the corn did nothing but grow— grow—grow. He planted it right, cultivated it right, and fed it right— with planty of manure and’ fertilezer. There is no_use raising corn for aa offering to Jack Frost. There is tod much labor invested in an acre of corn to raise anything but the best. Institutes Planned.
