A wave of complaint is coming in from citizens in various parts of the town of Killingly against speedy driv- ng by operators of publie service ve- igles, and requests for prosecutions are beinz made. Many seemed to be impressed with the epinion that the jitney beys are hitting it up too fast: that th damger other traffic and increase the risk of pedestrians and that some of them must be made examples of by being haled into court. Some of the $Rey men have heen apprised of the ain of complaints and have asreed to be more conservative with the use of “the julce,” as some of them call gas.

Press despatches in Boston afternoon papers Tuesday telling of the quarter- iug at Camp Devens of interned Ger- man prisoners, members of the crews and officers of German ships that haye been seized in American ports and are now im the service of this country as transparts, were read with interest by Putnam people who were up early on a recent morning ang saw the train carrying these prisoners pass through thig eity. The Germans were under heavy guard and rifles and revolvers were not lacking for use in case of any qutbreak an the part of the prisoners. One Putnam man who saw the train said Tuesday afternoon that the Ger- mans were “a touch looking bunch.” FEW POLES ENLIST. Some Frank to Explain Why They Are Slackers. The vesponse to Sergent S. J. Kra- 'vewski's efforts to get reeruits from towns in this section for service in the Polish legion have not met with any great degree of success. The majority of the registrants of this raee have claimed exemption on the ground of frank to state that they are pot going qut to face bullets for $30 per month while they can remain in this vieinity and earn almost that much each week, and in a peaceful occypation. In the meantime othet men are going out as boys of Uncle Sam and are doing their bit toward hoiding up the traditions of a Polish nation that gnee figyred prominently in werld history.

The agricultural departments of the county farm bureaus and the county agricultural agents ave devoting every moment at this time to helping the farmer find labor and the seed which is essential if a maximum crop of food is to be grown this year. In many cases also they are meeting re: quests from farmers for advice as to methods, managément and spurces of supplies. New growers of food wha have taken up production from pa- triotic motives are coming te the eounty agents in increasing numbers for help and guidanee in their crop production enterprises. The work which the ceunty agents have dene in helping meet the seed corn emergency has been outstanding. In February it became apparent that almest all of the available seed corn in the northern states had been de- stroyed by unfavorable weather. The county agents have worked in co-pp- eration with the state experiment station, the Commecticut Agricultural College and the schools in tryipg to conyince farmers of the necessity of testing every ear of corn and in dem- onstrating the methods of condueting these tests. County corn shows were held in every county with a large at- Seventeen hundred and seventeen samples of seed corn were personally taken by county agents and sent to the experiment station for testing. Through the farm bureaus over five thousand bushels of high testing seed haye been sold. To re- lieve the situation in the middle west six carloads of high grade seed corn, | whieh brought the farmers of Con- necticut a total of $13,984, was shipped to North Dakota and Wisconsin. Through every available agency the farm bureaus have endeavored to bring {about the testing of every lot of corn wkhich has been intended for seed SO-CO-NY is the surest economy.

The work which the farm bureaus are doing in the westen:tflcaumi” to provide farmers with laber has tributed substantially te the selution of the, labor prablem. In the five western counties about eeventy-five farm hands a week are being placed on farms by the couniy farm bureaus. About’ ene-haif of lhli supply of I bor is being reeruited by the farm bu- reads themselves. The remainder of it is provided by the Kederal other employment burggus of state, A complete farm suryey has been se- cured in five counties under the county leadership of the county farm bureaus. This supvey has been under the aus- pices of the State Council of Defense. As a result of this survey a very great increase (at least 100 per cemt.) in the acreage of gmall srains, has been re- vealed in one eounty. At the present time a survey is being made by the farm bureaus in co-aperatian ‘with Floyd Duffee, the farm maghinery specialist of the Connecticut Agricul- tural College, in which every thresher, binder and reaper being visited, its cendition noted, and the farmer ad- vised as to how it can be put into proper working order. After this in- dividual work has been done in the town the people of the tewn who are growing small grains are called to- gether and action is taken to pravide adequate machinery ta we for the haryesting and threshing of the grain ta be grawn this year, if sueh ma- chinery has not etherwise been pra- vided for. ‘While the preblem aof food produetion largely a que tion of labar and ma- terials, in the cities another factor en- —that of supplving adeguate and the ingreasing in rural sectigns is ters instruction with pegard ta the meth- ods of preduction.

The average man dosn't wait until his machine needs greasing to huy the grease. He keeps a supply on hand, both for regular use and for emer- genojes.
