P., last night marked, bv a very 'large attendance i nominations of officers to be elected j pn Dec. 20 were made as follows: charge of the Storrs College experi- mental farm 'at Georgetown since it was established, has been transferred to another of the allege farms in the lower part of the . county. A course of lectures on agricultural subjects has been arranged for this winter at the Georgetown farm. It was at first intended to charge admission to these lectures, but through the efforts of Secretary Plump of the Protective League the management decided to make -- them free. The lectures would have a larger attendance and there- fore . an increased usefulness if they were given at the public hall in Georgetown or better still if given in 'different section's of the town. In view of the sunken and insecure con- dition of the floor of the .town house, it would hardly be prudent to wish disaster by holding any of the series in that building.' Mrs. ' Jacob Beck, wife ' of the well known mason, died "at her home in Hopewell on Saturday. .About two months ago she suffered an apopletic shock which caused' her to fall and resulted" In the fracture of her collar bone.

U11U UlCtll, I. ed it' in nursery beds. Mr. Spring ad- vised the planting of trees for timber and other purposes using for this pur- pose land good for nothing else. He said that in reproducing our woods we should make more use of seed- lings; as second growth or - growth from the stump, had a progressive lessening of vitality. Regarding- - the chestnut tree blight he said it was a fungus growth spread by birds and insects as the spores were too heavy from dampness to be carried by the wind. An Infested tree could be treat- ed so as to remove the disease, but of course such treatment on a large scale was . impracticable and so, speaking in a commercial sense., there was no remedy for the disease. ' It did not. however, injure the wood un- til the process - of actual decay began and therefore foe would advise chest- nut grove owners, not to be so un- duly scared as to sell the timber at a sacrifice. , i ' Litchfield County News. , - i , . - Surrendered to Slieriff , Michael' McGraw, the Central New England baggagemaster, who escaped from Deputy Sheriff Marble' of New Hartford last Wednesday evening in the West WInsted railroad yard, af- ter having been taken into custody on a warrant issued' at the request of his wife charging him with non-suppo- rt, surrendered himself to Deputy Marble at New Hartford Monday. The case was settled out of court. Mrs. Marble resides in Pine Meadow. She was married to McGraw about a year ago and he left her a few weeks after their marriage. ' ' Superior Court Cases. Two divorces were granted by Judge Case in the superior court at Winsted, Monday. Albert Beaujon of Lakeville was given a decree from Mary Beaujon of Philmont, N. Y., on the ground of desertion.

Owing to new plantings the State had more apple trees- - than ever before and In general the young orchards were receiving closer and more intelligent care, than had been given their predecessors. . That spray- ing paid had been so fully demon- strated as to be beyond question. Con- necticut apples were superior in fla- vor to the much wanted . fruit grown on the upper Pacific coast and there was no reason why with better culti- vation ' and methods of packing the home product should not bring as high prices as the fancy Oregon ap- ples. At a cost of about $30 there could be provided a spraying machine of the barrel type to be worked by hahd which was adequate for all or dinary needs..' Mr. Waldron-als- o told how -- necessary was spraying to save the elm trees from destruction by the beetle which preyed upon them. New Haven, which had lost many of her nbble elms from this enemy sprayed the remaining ' six or seven thousand last summer with a twelve horse power-sp- rayer at a cost per tree of 22 cents. Most towns, however, would probably find-i- t more, economical to hire the work done by priva 'e firms. This .could be done where there were from 150 to 200 trees to be treated at a cost1 of about $1 per tree. In des- cribing the hand treatment for elms and other trees, which is designed to prevent the passage up the trunks of of the egg layinsr pests, the speaker said that . there should be a layer of cotton batting under the bands. ' Mr. - Spring, in opening his lecture, said that while the word conservation had different meanings for different persons it really meant the misuse of our natural resources as ' disting- uished from the recklessly wasteful use which had too much prevailed in the past. A valuable asset of every country town was its woodlands and the townspeople should take concerted action to conserve this property, par- ticularly against fire. Every section of a town should have a crew ready to promptly respond to a call for their services in the fighting of woodland fires. A very useful apparatus for this wtrk was the bucket pump from whioh a stream was directed through a- - horse. To guard against the start- ing of ' fires by sparks from locomo- tives a space about 100 feet wide should be cleared on each side of rail- road tracks. Cleared lanes through forests and patrols were also useful precautionary measures. A . new law required that brush cut alongside the highways be raked up .and burned within 30 days, thereby removing a source of danger. A leading require- ment in the intelligent treatment of woodland tract was. the proper thin- ning of the trees., If two densely crowded th'e growth of the trees would be arrested and if the individual tree were allowed too much space it would branch out so expansively that the trunk would yield little timber. Screen views were given showing insufficient thinning, excessive thinning and just right thinping. The speaker saidthat in cutting for fire wood, if the right methods of selection were used, the tract would be improved and contjn-ousl- y productive instead of being laid waste. Connecticut land, ev.en the poorest of it. would grow white pine, and Mr. Spring said that this had the Trial Package' Sent Free to Prove It COME A1D IiUOli AT OUR HOLIDAY GOODS ) THEY HAVE THE MERIT THEY WILL ' v PLEASE YOU ; ' Our assortment contains, in great variety, the very latest and most pleajting .novelties of the season which can not fail to meet your requirements POST OFFICE NEWS STORE 11.

i nominations of officers to be electedj pn Dec. 20 were made as follows:

charge of the Storrs College experi-mental farm 'at Georgetown since itwas established, has been transferredto another of the allege farms in thelower part of the . county. A courseof lectures on agricultural subjectshas been arranged for this winter atthe Georgetown farm. It was at firstintended to charge admission to theselectures, but through the efforts ofSecretary Plump of the ProtectiveLeague the management decided tomake -- them free. The lectures wouldhave a larger attendance and there-fore . an increased usefulness if theywere given at the public hall inGeorgetown or better still if givenin 'different section's of the town. Inview of the sunken and insecure con-dition of the floor of the .town house,it would hardly be prudent to wishdisaster by holding any of the seriesin that building.'

ed it' in nursery beds. Mr. Spring ad-vised the planting of trees for timberand other purposes using for this pur-pose land good for nothing else. Hesaid that in reproducing our woodswe should make more use of seed-lings; as second growth or - growthfrom the stump, had a progressivelessening of vitality. Regarding- - thechestnut tree blight he said it was afungus growth spread by birds andinsects as the spores were too heavyfrom dampness to be carried by thewind. An Infested tree could be treat-ed so as to remove the disease, butof course such treatment on a largescale was . impracticable and so,speaking in a commercial sense., therewas no remedy for the disease. ' Itdid not. however, injure the wood un-til the process - of actual decay beganand therefore foe would advise chest-nut grove owners, not to be so un-duly scared as to sell the timber at asacrifice. , i '

orchards could be brought into bear-ing by spraying and pruning althoughsome were so far gone 'as to be pastredemption. Owing to new plantingsthe State had more apple trees- - thanever before and In general the youngorchards were receiving closer andmore intelligent care, than had beengiven their predecessors. . That spray-ing paid had been so fully demon-strated as to be beyond question. Con-necticut apples were superior in fla-vor to the much wanted . fruit grownon the upper Pacific coast and therewas no reason why with better culti-vation ' and methods of packing thehome product should not bring ashigh prices as the fancy Oregon ap-ples. At a cost of about $30 therecould be provided a spraying machineof the barrel type to be worked byhahd which was adequate for all ordinary needs..' Mr. Waldron-als- o toldhow --necessary was spraying to savethe elm trees from destruction by thebeetle which preyed upon them. NewHaven, which had lost many of hernbble elms from this enemy sprayedthe remaining ' six or seven thousandlast summer with a twelve horse power-sp-

rayer at a cost per tree of 22

cents. Most towns, however, wouldprobably find-i- t more, economical tohire the work done by priva 'e firms.This .could be done where there werefrom 150 to 200 trees to be treated ata cost1 of about $1 per tree. In des-cribing the hand treatment for elmsand other trees, which is designed toprevent the passage up the trunks ofof the egg layinsr pests, the speakersaid that . there should be a layer ofcotton batting under the bands.' Mr. - Spring, in opening his lecture,said that while the word conservationhad different meanings for differentpersons it really meant the misuseof our natural resources as ' disting-uished from the recklessly wastefuluse which had too much prevailed inthe past. A valuable asset of everycountry town was its woodlands andthe townspeople should take concertedaction to conserve this property, par-ticularly against fire. Every sectionof a town should have a crew readyto promptly respond to a call for theirservices in the fighting of woodlandfires. A very useful apparatus forthis wtrk was the bucket pump fromwhioh a stream was directed througha- - horse. To guard against the start-ing of ' fires by sparks from locomo-tives a space about 100 feet wideshould be cleared on each side of rail-road tracks. Cleared lanes throughforests and patrols were also usefulprecautionary measures. A . new lawrequired that brush cut alongside thehighways be raked up .and burnedwithin 30 days, thereby removing asource of danger. A leading require-ment in the intelligent treatment ofwoodland tract was. the proper thin-ning of the trees., If two denselycrowded th'e growth of the trees wouldbe arrested and if the individual treewere allowed too much space it wouldbranch out so expansively that thetrunk would yield little timber. Screenviews were given showing insufficientthinning, excessive thinning and justright thinping. The speaker saidthatin cutting for fire wood, if the rightmethods of selection were used, thetract would be improved and contjn-ousl- y

productive instead of being laidwaste. Connecticut land, ev.en thepoorest of it. would grow white pine,and Mr. Spring said that this had the
