OBITUARY Mrs. Joseph Beetham, The long and useful life of Ellen Cot- ton, 87, widow of Joseph Beetham, came to a closz Tuesday, about 12.30, ahout 12.3¢, at the home of her son, Thomas njamin Beetham, of Wauwecus Hill, Wwhere she had resided for the past year. She had been in exceptionally good health until about a week ago, when tak- en with an attack of the grip she went Into a general decline due to advanced age, from which she did not rally. Mrs. Beetham was born in January 1835, on Tristan De Acunha, a small island near the island of St. Helena. She was one of €leven children born to Willlam and Maria Barker Cotton, natives of Eng- la; Ler father having been one of the oldiers who guarded Napoleon, When in captivity on St.. Helena Island. Mrs. Deetham’s brothers are all dead; but as far as is known, her six sisters, all In advanced years, are still living. They are located in South Africa, on Tristan De Acunha Island and Virginia. In Cape Town, South Africa, about 50 years ago, she was married to Josepb Beetham, who many years ago, about 1886, was drowned off Tristan De Acun- ha Island Mrs. Beetham with her family came to this country, having lived In Norwich much of the time since, of late years making her home with her different chil- dren. About two years before locating on Wauwecus Hill, she made her home with her son, Joseph A. Beetham of Lisbon. Mrs. Beetham had been a very active woman all through life, and could read the daily paper in which she had a keen interest, without the afd of glasses. She was an ideal mother, always considering the welfare and happiness of others be- fore her own, her first and last thought being for those nearest and dearest to to _her. Her kind hearted disposition, with willing hands, has many times help- ed friends in time of need: and these triends with her many children whom bad shared their homes with her, will be the ones who will feel her loss most seenly. Besides her sisters, she is survived by s€ven sons and three daughters, another daughter having died several years ago; alo many grandchildren ard great grandchiliren. The sons are John E. Beetham of Norwich; Jacob S. Beetham of Fishers Island; Joseph A. Beetham of Lisbon; William H. Beetham of ~or- wich; Cotnelius H. Beetham of Lisbon; Thomas B. Beetham and Robert A.

The or- dinance which was passed by the court of common counclt on Nov. 14th eays that any one having a gaseline pump on the stdewalk i front of his place of busimess from which gasoline is dispénsed shall pay an annual fee of $15 for a Hceénse tc sell. Out of. the large number of the 'gas stations, thirteen have neglected to pay their license fee and on Tuesday after- noon and evening they were surmmonéd by the police to appear In the city court Wedniesday morning. It is understood that there will be no little opposition to the ordinance, and that these cases will constitute test cases. While it Is not known for certain, it s understand that there is a conceried movement on foot to buck the law. In the opinton of several members of the legat profession in Norwich there iz no escaps firom paying the required license fée as the ordinance leavecs no loop hole for dvasion. The ordinance is similar to & previous ordinance governing the sale of ‘meréhandise from sidewalk stands and in the eyes of the flaw it is <hat . will stand the same as the other ordi- nances. FERTILIZER AND CROPS DISCUSSED AT FARM MEETING At a well attended meeting of the farm bureau held in the town hall in North Stonington Monday afternoon Prof. J. S. Owens of Storrs coilege and i County Agent Harold F. Johnéon of Norwich discussed the use of fertilizer in relation to the various crops grown by the aver- age dairy farmer. Professor Owens brought out the point that there are four standard materials for mixing fertilizer on the market at the present time. These materials are sulphate of ammonia, nit- rate of soda, acld phosphate and muriate of potash. It makes no difference whether the farmer buys from a fertilizer concern that makes up mixed goods or whether he buys raw materials and mix- es them on his own barn floor. The ma- Jority of his fertilizer in either case will be made up of these four materials. Here in this county we have a fertilizer plant that is a little different from the average in that a large part of their mixtures contain ground fish. The supply, how- ever, of this is limted, as well as the supplies of bone, tankage and other forms of organic nitrogen or phosphoric acid. One of the men said that fertilizer agents were making capital out of the proposition that farmers would not be able to secure as good quality in raw materials as the fertilizer manufacturers. He quoted a statement from a letter re; ceived from a leading man in one of the fertilizer companies which was aimed to make the farmers belleve that if they bought nitrate of soda or acid phosphate in raw materials to mix themselves they could not seoure as good a fertillzer as could be secured if this same material was mixed at the fertilizer plant. The absurdity of such a statement was very evident, he said. Too many men even at the present time are inclined to belleve such statements made by agents, when they would do much better to follow the suggestions and recommendations made by extension men or experiment station men whose only business is to serve the public interests. Professor Owens drew attention te the fact that it was very possible to grow good clover if we take the proper pre- cautions. Very few men in New London county at the present time are growing any amount of good clover hay. But Bere and there through the county there can be found a man who is following out a definite plan and Is being well reward- =d in the kind of hay that he secured. Several things are necessary in growing good clover hay. One of the chief diffi- culties we are up against at the present time is the possibiiity or often the im- possibility of securing reliable seed. Sev- eral million pounds of clover seed have been imported of late from southern Europe. This kind of clover seed will germinate and grow well in this clmate during the first season, but will be prac- tically winter killed. This makes it prac- tically worthiess as a plant to use for hay. Lime, acid phosphate and potash are also necessary if we are to secure the best growth. A ton and a half of ground limestone or a ton of burnt lime would ®0 a long way toward insuring a clover crop, while reasonably heavy applications of acid phosphat eand lime phosphate will_also help. We also need more fre- auent working of the land, which means shorter rotations. Many men are getting into the habit of seeding down their corn land and not raising oats. The majority of oats ralsed in New London county are good for hay anyway, and at best are a better quality of hay as compared with some of our clovor hay. ‘When we con- sider that it takes 5 hours on the aver- age to raise an acre of oats in this coun- ty it is worth while thinking over the possibility of seeding in corn. This 85 hours of labor could often times be put to much better use in raising a crop which will pay much highér wages per hour than oats can ever pay. S T S BENEDICT ARNOLD LETTER OF 1778 ON DISPLAY In the llbrary of Americana, collected by Dr. R. B. Coutant, of Tarrytown, Wwhich was placed on exhibition at the Anderson galleries, New York, Monday. there !s a rare collection of volumes and documents relating to Major Andre and the Benedict Arnold treason, a matter of local interest since Norwich was Ar- nold’s birthplace.

The association has just purchased a unique portable moving pleture ‘machine for ehop meeting and educational work. This machine uses non-inflammable films and can be used without a booth and has been passed as safe by the Fire Un- derwriters’ association. It can therefore be safely used without a booth in factory ar school room and the Y. M. C. A. hopes to be of larger service to the community by virtue of having acquired this valua- ble additio nto its equipment. The first showing by the new machine will prob- ably be at one of the shop meetings next week.
