FORMER NORWICH MAN KILLED IN HARTFORD Cornelius Shannahan Struck by Fly- ing Piece of Steel. A flying piece of steel, entering the left eye of Cornelous Shannahan, formerly of this city and penetrating the brain caused death a half hour e later in St. Francis’ hospital, Hartford, : Wednesday morning. Those interested in the Center B . church camp at Columbia hake have| Shannahan was employed .in -the drop forging department of the Pratt & Whitney company, and was engaged, at 7.30, in lining.up dies under a drop hammer. He was holding a “key” a strip of steel about nine inches long and an inch and a half square, against a die. A helper was striking the end of the key with a sledge hammer. Several blows had been given when a. chip broke away from the steel head of the hammer and entered Shanna- han’s eye. He fell over and soon became unconscious. He was re- moved at once to the hospital. At the factory it was said that the repeated blows with the sledge had probably crystalized the steel and further blows caused tha chip to fly off. Mr. Shannahan was born in Ireland about thirty years ago. He went from Ireland to Australia and cams t{o Norwich about six vears ago. His only relative in this country is an aunt, Mrs. Kelley, of Asylum street, this city Acute Food Situation.

ALARMING SHORTAGE OF SEED CORN Emergency Committee Issues State- ment to Farmers in Statek The emergency seed corn commit- tee Af the committee of food supply has Jjust issued the following statement to the farmers of Connecticut: - The seed corn situation in the state is serious. Four hundred and fifty samples have been tested at the New Haven Experiment station. One-third of these are absolutely unfit for seed. One-third can be used only after a Not more than one- third of our best seed corn is fit for plantirg. It is absolutely impossible to tell from the appearance of seed whether or not it is high or low in germinat- ing qnality. It is essential that you test your seed corn this year. The extreme shortage in the North- ern. states makes it desirable from a patriotic ~standpoint that every ear of seed corn which will grow be saved for them. May we call to your at- tertion the urgent need for seed corn? Pass the word along to your neigh- bor. In a statement issued Wednesday, Robert Scoville says: As the plynting season approaches, we trust you are giving serious thought to the question of how you can serve your'country by making the best possible use of your land.” We appre- ciate the many difficulties under which the farmers of our state are laboring and recognize that there are limits te what can be done. The people of Europe are using more food than ever before and are produc- ing less. The submarine has made it impossible to bring food from far off countries like Australia and there- fore they must look to America for help if they are to continue this strug- gle. The demand for farm products greatly exceeds the supply and prices are higher than for many years. Every farmer must decide for himself wh: crop he should grow, consulting his countv agent for such assistance as may b2 needed. It is natural that farmers should feel some discouragement and ap- prehersion in looking into the future, but it must be remembered that these feelings are not by any means limited to any one class of our population. It they permit themselves to be controll- ed by this feeling, they will, before the end of the season, not only realize that they have signally failed in doing their duly towards their country, but have also missed an opportunity for profit which may. not be again soon rresented. If we should lose this war because of the lack of food, and this ig by .no nieans impossible, would we not have somathing to reproach ourselves with if we Co less than our utmost? The cwnersh:n of land in these times car- ries with it an obligation which we are certain our farmers will wish to meet to the best of their ability. SUBJECTS FOR ARBOR . AND BIRD DAY Tree Planting, Protection of Forests and Bird Life. Copies of the 1918 Arbor Bird day manual, published by ‘the state board of education, have been received in this city. The observance of Arbor and Bird ,|day each vear has two purposes. To lead to the conservation and in- crease of bird life and tree and plant life; and to stimulate love,of nature and enjoyment of natural beauty. This year the experience of a world at war and the experience, so recently past, of an unusually severe winter in this country teach us that we must em- phasize more than ever before the economic need of trees, shrubs and vegzetable life and of birds. While we should not feel any less joy in the coming of spring or any less appreciation of rnature's charms, we must dwell more upon the needs of hu- man life, and upon the contributions made toward those needs by trees and birds. The general subjects suggested for Bird and Arbor day, 191§, are there- fore. Thee planting for useful as well as ornamental purposes, protection of forests from insect foes, from blight, from forest fires, and from waste in cutting; protection of bird life, by the teaching of the economic value of birds by providing nesting places, by providing water when needed, by the teaching of love of birds.
