CONNECTICUT TOBACCO.
If the tobacco growers of Connet'tl-
cut expect to succeed In their especial
line, and to make their‘ product what
it needs to be in the markets where it
must ultimately appear, they must do
the scientific thing In the way of cut
tivation, and must profit by the as-
I' elstance and advice iven by the gov-
: , ernment experts. Through the efforts
of Representative Henry, of the First
district, the agricultural "department
at Washington has decided to con
I tinue experiments in tobacco culture
‘ in this state, although it had been
decided to abandon that work as up-
profitable. Mr. Henry insists that the
state cannotImakemthe . investigations
necessary, and Dr. B. T. Galloway.
chief of the bureau of plant industry,
,in a letter responding to Mr. Henry's
statements and outlining future work
‘ in this state, says: “The breeding still
requiring attention in: Connecticut re—
lates almost entirely to theJmprove-
'Jliiiilt of the ordinary field types of to-
bacco. The gradual deterioration of
theme types is due to lack of proper
selection and the high quality of
wrapper tobacco required by the trade
necessitates improvement If the or-
dinary types of tobacco grown in Con-
necticut are to continue in profitable
‘ cultivation. We hava made quite a
number of hybrids and selections. and
one of these, which We have named
the Halllday Havauahhas many of the

of‘he leaf is very fine, and the color
is good, but It is still variable in cer-
‘tain other qualities which need to be

the final results. Honorable mention
should be made of the playing of all

WINTER BIRD NOTES.
Southern Mlgrators Appear, While
Visitors from the North Are Seen.
The present winter has been an iii~
teresilug one to bird students, because
it has been full‘of surprises.v Severe
cold weather is looked for to bring
down the extreme northern birds, the
generally accepted theory being that
snow, cutting off their food supply.
forces them further south
The past. winter has been so mild
that an unusually large number of
birds have. been wintering with us.
A Virginia rail was seen in January;
a pair of chewiuks and a brown thrash-
er also were seen. Several klugflshci's
are living along shore, audIthrce red-
headed woodpeckers are furnishing a
novelty. Saturday a flock of. purple
crackles and rusty blackblrds was re-
ported aud‘ycsterday the flock was
found to contain cowblrds as well. This
Is the earliest record known for these
birds to return north, as far as Nor
walk records show. Song sparrows
are already singing—all signs of mild
winter weather, and yet pine sisklns
and red polls have been abundant;
crossbills. pine grosbeaks and snow
flakes have visited on from the far
north. III. has been a winter of excep-
tional interest to the keeper of a note-
book.
