POTATO CROP ABOVE AVERAGE IN THIS COUNTY The report/ of Secretary Leonard H. Healey of the state board of agriculture, compiled from blank forms tabulated and sent in by regular correspondents and county agents of the extension de- partment of ‘the Connecticut Agricultural college shows that crop conditions in New London county are eminently sat- isfactory at the present time. While New London county falls below the ave- rage jin fruit production, a matter that fs mot at all surprising in view of the comparatively limited number of farmers who specialize in fruit raising, the coun- ty figures for the hay, corn and potatoes are well in advance of the general ave- rage for the same crops throughout the state. The hay crop ran well above average. The state board figures show that New London county rated 99.2 per cent., as against the state average of 97. Harvest- ing operations within the county are slightly behind the state figures, but 35.7 being completed as against 40 per cent for the state as a whole. The figures for corn show that New }mndcn county is rated at 100 per cent. insofar as acreage of corn is concerned, with an outleok for a 90 per cent crop throughout the county, as against an 86.1 per cent. outlook for the entire state, The potato crop is likewise above ave rage, figures showing a county average of 97.9 given over to “spuds” as against the state average of 99,2 while the coun- ty average outlook is rated at 96.4 as against the state figures which prom- ise a crop of 93.2 per cent., or 3.2 per cent above the state figures. County figures in the field of fruit pro- duction look less impressive when com- pamed -with the state averages, but they are nearly on a par with those of for- mer years. The apple crop promises to approximate 30 per cent. as against the state average of 48.1 per cent, while the figures for peaches mount to 61.6 per cent., as, against the state average of 76.7 per cent. The pear crop is rated at 55 per cent, while state figures indi- cate an average yield of 76.7 per cent. In each instance the fruit crops are the smallest of the eight counties listed, though it is not surprising in view of the emphasis placed upon dairying and cat- tle raising by agriculturalists through- out New London couaty.

Foreign Exchange. With the exception of sterling,. an to encourage any change of sentiment on | quotations are in ceats per umit of for the part of traders. Week-end review of busines sauthorities indicated a hesi- tant attitude on the part of buyers in the principal centers. Mexican , Petroleum, which opened slightly higher after closing yesterday at a net gain of six poimts, fluctuated | within a four point radius today, can- celling all its galn In the final hour on heavy week-end profit-taking. Other olls were irregular showing only nominal changes. Crucible Steel, with a gain of 1 5-8 points, led the moderate advance in steel shares, which was attributed in part to a resumption of heavy ralirdad buying. Equipment issues followed in their wake, American Locomotive and Baldwin making appreciable galns. Merchandising and express shares again furnished the strong spots of the market, Woolworth, Mallinson and Adams Express touching new tops for the year. Western Union advanced to 111 1-2, up more than 13 points in two weeks and at the highest price since 1916. Its steady absorption during the past few days is ascribed to expectation of favorable dividend action next month. Motors, rubbers and coppers were in- clined to weakness, although most losses were of a fractional nature. Sugars opened firm, but closed at slight re- cessions. Total sales were approximately 550,000 shares. 4 3 Foreign exchange showed an improved tone, demand sterling advancing 5-8 of a point, with a sympathetic trend in the continental remittances. German marks were quoted at 13 7-8 cents a hundred, or one-half a cent above yesterday's market figures. Call money opened and renewed at 4 per cent., but eased off to 3 1-2 and then to 3 where it closed. The time money market was active ,with a fairly good demand.

Demand was on -a broader scale than for some time past.— The! market closed firm, 1 1-4 to 2 7-8¢ net higher, with September $1.08 1-8 to $1.08 1-4 and Deccmber $1.09 to $1.09 1-8. Corn gained 5-8c and oats 3-8¢ @ 1-2 to 1-2 @ 5-8. Provisions ranged from 10c decline to five cents advance. Wheat finished at nearly the best prices of the day, with traders giving their attention to talk from influential quarters emphasizing benefits which it was sald producing and mercantile In- terests would obtain through a slowing up of the rural marketing of grain. Previous sellers seemed to be especially impressed, and from ‘the outset were conspicuous on the buying side. Export interests, too, were active in purchasing, taking 725,000 bushels here and 800,000 bushels at the seaboard. Car shortage and need of coal attract- ed increasing notice as bullish factors in the wheat market, and an uppturn in wheat quotations at Liverpool, despite weakness yesterday in America, was also regarded as significant. On the other hand, Germany was reported as offering to re-sell wheat to Great Britain. Besides, excellent progress of the domestic spring wheat harvest was noted, yields in some sections surpassing expectations, Corn and oats ascended with wheat and as a result of drought damage to corn in parts ot South Dakota and Min- nesota. Provisions lacked support of buyers, notwithstanding higher quota- tions on hogs. Chicago Grain Market, Wheat— Hizh Low. Tose Sept. ... 108% 106 1083 Dec. ... 109% 108 108% May ...

The lodge voted to visit the Boy Scout camp in a body Some night next week. probate | SAYS MOSQUITO OUTBREAK IS WORST IN YEARS Dr. Edward H. Jenkins, director of the Friday pronounced the present mosquito outbreak the worst on record in Connec- | ticut. Appeals from every part of the state have been recelved at the station in the hope that some rellef may be afforded. They have come from city and town officials, village improvement and civic societles, boys’ and girls' camps, owners of suburban- and shore property throughout the state who in- sist in universal clamor that the pest must be sul Health officers have reported a slight increase In ma- laria. They are fearful that some car- :rlers of the disease may be infected by the bite of malaria mosquitoes which are found in every part of the state and spread the disease broadly. The car- riers are present all over Connecticut in the persons of immigrants and they may at any time cause an epidemic. A feature of the appeals received at the station has been that more than ever before have come from inland towns, in- dicating that Connecticut is at this time more completely in the grip of the mos- quito. Dr. Jenkins sald that the situatior is caused by combination of the pro- tracted rains of the past two monthr and the vast, undrained mosquito arg: of the state. He called attention to the fact that a year ago the Connecticut An- ti-Mosquito Association and the health authorities of the state urged a change in the present inadequate mosquito lawe and for legisiative relief in disposing of the worst present mpsquito breeding areas. Last April Dr. Jenkins called attention to the indications that the state woulé be in the grip of the present mosquitc outbreak by next summer. At that time he urged that state and local authori- tles, as well as individuals, try to avert the wholesale invasion. He said that today the mosquito has drawn universal attention to fhimself and be urged that the local societies unite with the state and town officials and private individu- als in a2 movement to abate the nuisance, although complete elimination of the pest is, of course, Impossible. In stating exactly what he feels can be done and what the situation is Dr. | Jenkins said, “The weather for the past |two months has shown what the mos- quito can do when unmolested™ 'Never was there such a pest of mos- quitoes in Connecticut, particularly where there has been no systematic work to prevent their breeding.” ‘We find them swarming around hous- } es, breeding in rain- barreis, in waste heaps where cans are thrown and have filled with rain water and in stagnant pools everywhere. Even in one case pools in corn fieids produced choice corn fed mosquitoes.” “Some of these things remedied by health officers. 2408 of the statutes declare accumulation of waters quitoes are breeding’ is a public nuis- ance and makes {t the duty of the health officer when it is brought to his attention’ that rain barrels, tin cans, bottles or other recepticles or pools near human habitation are breeding mos- quitoes’ to cause such breeding places to be abolished by appropriate means.’ Viliage improvement socleties can de nothing which will contribute mere to the health and comfort of their towns than "by starting a local mosquito clean- up campaign. Its effect will be very ought to he Section that ‘any in which mos- evident within a week or ten days. ‘Where the work required involves more expense, ditching, olling, ete, it any community or association will raise three fourths of the money required, the state under present law will contribute one-fourth and skilled direction of the work. Aside from the annoyance of swarms of mosquitoes they are a menace to pub- lic health. The malarial mosquito is not uncommon in the state and there are some suffered from malarial fever at present. The two things together are sufficlent to start an epldemic of this disease, dangerous both in itself and because it leaves the patient debllitated and much more liable to attacks of pneumonia or. influenza which may be prevalent in the late fall or winter. Individual effort in eliminating breed- ing places can accomplish much but far greater benefit -will come from organized community activity. - In some communi- tles the mosquito nuisance is purely a local problem, but in other it is a statewide matter, particularly near the coast because the salt marsh mosquitoes fly long distances inland in search of food. The re- @'y published statement of Dr. Copelana of New York city, that some mosquitoes travel only 1.000 feet doas not apply to species that breed so | abundantly along our sult marshes. | These have been known to migrate more than forty miles, practically the | width of Connecticut, in search of feod.
