(Special to The Bulletin.) Storrs, Conn., Aug. 5.—Food in Amer- ica will never be cheaper than it is today, said S. L. Strivings, vice president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, in the ocurse of his address on “Agri- cultural Problems Ahead,” here this aft- ernoon. The price of food instead of going down will take a trend upwards, due to conditions prevailing in this coun- try today when help is scarce and weg- es are hizh and may zo higher. Over six hundred persons in the arm- ory hall listened to this statement in si- lence, but applauded when the speaker announced that the time must come when the farmer receives just compensation for the hours he devotes to his work, equal to the wages received by labor in the cities. Mr. Strivings stated that the American Farm Bureau Association now numbered in its membership thirty-two states of the union and each state association working in common with the national or- ganization for better returns to the farm- ers for their output. The greatest prob- lem ahead in agriculture to be solved he said, was for the perfection of a na- tion-wide Farmers' organization and to get co-operation to solve how this can best be done to be of most benefit to the farmer. The farmers do not wish to be considered in a class sinyly as farmers, but do desire to be known as American citizens with the interest of their coun- try at heart, desiring to learn more about this country, its problems and benefits to be obtained. Another problem the farmers face is the betterment of the transportation facilities of the country as through this way only can goods be marketed properly. People in the cities little know the danger the country fac- es if one crop was lost but when it is taken into consideration that the world is but a few months ahead of starva- tion even in normal times the danger must be materially greater today. The aim of the Farm Bureau Associ- ation is to aid in marketing the crop to the advantage of the people growing it and also to the advantage of the con- sumer. This can only be done by cutting out the profiteers who take the money difference between that which the farmer receives and the ultimate price paid by the consumer. Who today sets the prices in the country he asked? Without doubt it is the speculators. Why should these few men set the price offered the farmer for his goods while the millions and more farmers cannot set a price themselves. Who knows better than the farmer the just price to ask for their produce? By forming some organization to get produce on the market direct to the consumer the farmer can get a fair price and mn the lonz run the consumer will benefit. States such as Connecticut whose farms produce only a small portion of the pro- duce consumed, the prohlem of supply the demand must be met and the farm- er cannot market direct as this is a bus- iness he knows nothing about. It is the plan of the association to organize a na- tional board placing upon it such men as the heads of the government federal re- serve banks, secretary of agriculture of the United States, Several prominent men, and big agricultural men. In this manner with so man¥ interested, involv- ed no deals could be made without the public being let in on them. This board could pool the goods and sell them to the consumer, the price will be less, and such things as gambling on crops will be done awax with and forced up wvrices be- come: a thing of the past. Nation’s Greatest Industry. Agriculture is the nation’s greatest in- dustry and study of conditions should be made. Research work must be done in this country and in Europe to get at the bottom of things and learn the why of them. When this day comes agricul- tural problems will be to a great extent solved for the betterment of the farmer and the country at larse. Social life in farming communities is another big problem and such things as schooling for the children should be taken up. Connecticut. he stated, had done much toward bettering the con tions of the rural schools and in this re- spect was far ahead of many other states of the union. The question of labor in agriculture is acute. Help is scarce in this country but a remedy must be found. Labor organ- izing is a good thing, he said, but when labor tries to limit production in this country it is treading on dangerous ground. The time must come when peo- ple must do an honest day's work for an honest day’'s pay, and this condition does not exist in the country today to a great extent. Due to the shortage of help many farms are now lying idle, many of the big farmers having left this country for Carada where lands are heaper in comparison and farming is d to be better. The loss of these farmers means more to the people in the cities than to the farmer as it lessens production. Living conditions are affect- ed and the question faes the country as well as to what will become of the farms when the houses now standing be- come unfit for occupation. The ques- tion of rebuilding calls attention to the high prices prevailing in the country for lumber and labor and with the form- er cominz almost entirely from the states of the west the transportation question again confronts the people. The Wage Question. The question of wages also concerns the farmer. Unless prices paid for his products are high enough he cannot pay the wages as earned in the cities by labor. The eight hour day is now be- jcoming nation-wide and labor demands| overtime for all over that time. How about the farmer that works sixteen hours or more a day should he not re- ceive just compensation for his' labors even double timc for overtime equal to pay for work in other lnes. Farmers are not demanding something over their rights. They should be paid for their work, and it is the work of the American Farm Bureau Association to bring about these things through the abolishion of the speculators and handlers of produce who only force prices upward, giving no benefit to the farmer who produces the crops, and forcing the consumer to pay for costs that never existed but that is Timply made in speculation and profiteer- ng. Morning Fvents. ‘With the first appearance of the sun the grounds at the Connecticut Agricul- tural College ' bigan to be dotted with people who were taking in Farmers Day at the college. As the time approached for the various tours of inspection of the A Sure Way To End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this iz all you will need), zeply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely | the above mentioned property not his own. Drs. Susier and Thompson spent college attractions groups of one or two hundred moved from in front of the main building and started for points of interest. At 11.30 o'clock the campus in front of the main building was filling with those interested in the coming sheep drive, and when Collie, driving some sev- enty sheep, put in appearance the crowd numbered well over seven hundred. Un- der the direction of J. B. Pritchard, shep- herd of the college flock, Collie demon- strated how a dog could take care of sheep under any conditions. The collie had been trained by Mr. Pritchard and at his call took the sheep from one end of the campus to the other, at no times runnin® them fast enough to cause over- heating. Grouping, leading, driving and feeding, was demonstrated by -the dog, who handled the job like an old timer. Basket Lunch at Noon. At noon a basket lunch was on the programme and scattered under shade trees, parked in automobiles, and about the steps of buildings, the two thousand or more hungry humans enjoyed a lunch that only the New England housewife knows how to put up. The dining hall was closed for the day, and wisely for by the time the last mouthful had been down any chef who could count the quantity of food consumed would have thought an army was camped at the college. Livestock Parade. Following the address of the afternoon delivered by Mr. Strivings, every person able to walk traveled to the campus once more to witness the parade of live stock and the sight of prize horses and cattle exhibited brought forth many a remark of admiration as those in line most noted slowed and proudly passed about the ring. Some of those exhibited were val- ued at fancy figures and the amounts#an- nounced brought forth gasps from many in the crowd. Among the best were: Dragon, Jr.—A six-year-old Percheron stallion, sired by the International Grand Champion, Dragon. His dam is a daugh- ter of the Paris Grand Champion, Etu- diant. Dragon, Jr., was champion stal- lion of New England at the Eastern States Exposition, 1917; also champion stallion ,open class, at the New England fair, 1918. Weight 1950. Howie’s Mintmaster—Champion Ayr- shire bull, at 1917 National Dairy Show and the sire of champions. Leased from ‘Wendover Farms, Bernardsville, New Jersey. He is eight years old. Dorinda Storrs De Kol—Holstein cow. Is a daughter of No. 18. Her junior four-year-old record is 18,023 pounds of milk and 624 pounds fat. With her dam and grand-dam holds the three-genera- tion production record of the state. At the mock auction held Wednesday a price of $2800 was set on this cow being the highest set during the auction. Evening Events. An address by Sara Lo ®se Arnold, dean of Simmons College, Boston, Mass., was heard by a large number, this be- ing followed by Aunt Dinah’s Party, put on by Rev. George B. Gilbert, Episcopal missionary in Middlesex county. This was followed by a real old fashioned country social hour in which games were played and many an old memory refreshed. Friday’s Program.

HAVILAND CLASS ENJOYS OUTING AT HAMPTON The members of the Haviland class of the United church enjoved a delightful outing Wednesday @t the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Allen of Hampton. Fourteen members of the class were present at the gathering. The party took the trolley to Willi- mantic where an auto bus provided by Mr. Alleg conveyed them to Hampton, a ride of fourteen miles. A dinner was provided by the hostess, the tables be- ing spread under the trees. Following a trip to various points of interest, tea was served and a social hour of music and song was enjoyed.

CORNER SAVINGS BANK MORE SOFT COAL I8 COMING THIS WAY The Manufacturers’ Association of Connecticut, - Inc.,, Hartford, has sent to Secretary Louis M. Crandall of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, an im- portant statement regarding recent de- velopments affecting fuel supply in Con- necticuyp. The statement Which is of interest to all consumers of soft coal follows: Priority Orders—The Interstate Com- merce Commission has issued an ordet effective as of August 2, that soft coal must be transported to New England by rail and water at the rate of ap- proximately 1,250,000 net tons eacd month. Therefore, this order requires that carriers must forward through tide- water ports for shipment to New Eng- land at the rate of 1,250,000 tons of Geoal monthly as follows New York, 250,000 tons; Philadelphia, 100 000 tons; Baltimore, 250,000 tons; Norfolk, tV., 650,000 tons. Emabrgo Other Coal—This order fur- ther states that carriers are authorized and directed to place an embargo on the supply of cars-for and the movement of all other bituminous coal in car loads to any other consignees or destination, pro- vided that this order ‘shall not apply to cars furnished, placed or assigned under any order or direction, placed by the Interstate Comerce Commission. Order Number 6 has been cancelled. If a pro- ducer or shipper loads the number of cars in a day designated by the com- mission he shall be permitted the re- mainder of the day to ship the remain- der of cars to any consignee or destina- tion he desires. In other words, after the producer or shipper load the num- ber of cars required by the commission to public utilities and to New England points for transhipment by water he may then ship coal for the remainder of that day to whomever he chooses. Reconsignment—Coal that is consign- ed under this order shall not be sub- ject to reconsignment except under a permit issued by representatives of the commission and when such coal is to be reconsigned to one of the poris men-| tioned above. As the carriers are requircd to trans- port 1,250,000 tons of coal each month to ports mentioned above, they will be obliged to give New England coal, for transhipment by water, preferential movement thereby curtailing the ex- portation of coal. One cause of the fuel shortage in New England is the exportation of coal and it is the belief of these offices that this order will les- sen it materially. Consumers who are now receiving their coal by rail and are in a position to receive same by rail and water or rail-water-ahd-rail should arrange to do so. This will have a tendency to Te- lieve the congested Hudson river gate- ways which means a quicker movement of cars from and to the mines thereby helping those who have to depend en- tirely upon the all rail movement. If this order is carried out properly. we believe it will assist materially in solving the present cial shortage in New England. It should allow our members to acquire a reserve stock. Therefore it should not be necessary to purchase this high priced spot coal which is now being offered for sale. Reports furnished this office show that all rail shipments to New England for the past eight weeks are 20 per cent greater than for the same period during 1919. TAFTVILLE BOY ENLISTS IN UNCLE SAM'S NAVY Ludger Joseph Peltier, residing in Taftville, has enlisted at the navy re- cruiting station, 4 Bank street, New London. Peltier applied for enlistment some few months ago and was rejccted for being under weight but when he walked into the recruiting station the other day he had plenty of weight to spare. Enlistments are now open to young men between the age of 17 and 35 with the choice of any trade school that they may wish to go to. The navy is the largest institution in the world and of- fers all young men that enlist their choice of the 57 trades that the navy offers.

F. Poole, soliciting agent, and E. E. Fuchs, general man- ager of the Thames River Boat Line which operates the steamer Cape Cod, met in conference Thursday morning representatives of the Norwich Cham- ber of Commerce at the chamber of commerce Tooms. The conference resulted in a better understanding of what the boat line is trying to do in order to relieve the con- gested freight situation. The company has secured . new docking facilities at the foot of Roosevelt street, Brooklyn Bridge pier, New York, and now are able to take care of freight consign- ments 2s soon as they arrive on the pier. Trucks can be unloaded there immediately upon arrival, instead of be- ing held up as formerly. It was stated at the conference that there would be a greater advantage in keeping the boat running if local ship- pers would specify Thames River #ue for their shipments both out of and to this city. Manager Fuchs stated that although last year the boat was run at a loss of $30,000 it is now on a paying basis. The boat is now giving splendid service and is running right on schedule. The passenger accommodation while limited, are excellent. A change was recently made in the officers and crew of the steamer. Cap- tain John Q. Wilcox formerly with the old Chelsea, has succeeded Martin Col- berg as captain of the steamer.
