IMr. Yoemans held the We of chairman of the state central committee of the democratic party and naturally there is some interest in the identity of his possible successor. He will not assume his place on the Superior court bench for some time but before he does so he mil present ' si nation. . l“Serveergl well known democrats have been mentioned .85 pos- sible successors to Mr. Yoemans.

A Faithful “'orker. i ' It. is not believed that Mr. Lynch'eI little slip will seriously affect his' chances of being a contender for lh. state chairmanship if he decides to go after it. He is well known throughout the state and his should- or has grown calloused from push- ing against the wheel. In lean years and in tot, he has been :1 “'lillni: worker and his has been the lll'lt'll' viable duty of collecting wampum for the conduct of campaigns and for the expenses which are always necessary toward running a. politi- cal party. \Vhen the years were lean the job was just a little harder than when there appeared a chance of democratic victory but the dought) state secretary has been one or those oflicials who take sheir duties ser- iously and he has been Just as encr- Belgian Premief (zooms. tic. ”William R.

He has considerable spare time on his hands and it is said that hei is sufficiently possessed of the coniI of the realm to make it. possible for; 'j-vu-u he ,‘ll'o hold him to devote considerable of his time to the Job. But Mr. Palmer has had the faculty of becoming in-‘ volved in disputes with members or his party and he is not the most popular member within the ranks of the democracy in the Nutmeg state. If he can see an opportunity of winning the leadership of the state central committee he will go after it. beyond a doubt. Whether he can see the job for himself or whether he can not, he will be active in the interests of one candidate or anoth- or. that is certain. Patrick B. O'Sullivan. of Derby. until last Wednesday noon a United Statescongressman. is mentioned as a possible successor to Mr. Yoemans. It was Atty, O'Sullivan who came forward shortly after the death of the late Senator Frank B. Brande- gco last fall and said. “If my party needs me I will be a. candidate for tho‘senatorship." It was spoken with the spirit of the political mar- tyr. He knew and the state lead- ors know that the prospects of a. de- mocrat being elected were very slim. o November elections had just taken place. Good At Politics But Mr. O'Sullivan said. "If my party needs me I will be a candi~ data for the senatorship." It devel- Qsd that his party did not need as it had what it professed to micro was a. potential victor in Mr. ing. Mr. O'Sullivan is a. clever politician. He is still a young man a: he has had an interesting polit- _ career. He has been corpora- on counsel or the Naugatuck valley in which he makes his home and he has served as state senator 80m that district. He was floor or in the senate when war was muted and secretary of state cen- hfl committee. He resigned to en- list in the navy. '51:: 1922 he entered the field as a candidate against Congressman Jam- .- P. Glynn of the 5th district. who was looked upon as a fixture in flashington. Just as the Washington Ion two years previously by a ma- dority of something over 30,000. Atty.

Smith of Mount Kisco. J. Y.. Detective Sergeants George H. Mc— Carthy. Daniel Hanrahan and Detec- tive Henry Nevins. on a. warrant from the authorities in that state. arested Thomas J. Foley. an inven- tor. of Riverside. The police were adverse to giving out any informa« tion on the case although it is said that I-‘oley has approached Smith and interested him in a washing machine which he planned togman- ufacture. Smith. it is said] ad- vanced him a sum of money. the amount of which was not made known by the police. Smith. it is said. upon failing to sec. any returns coming in on his investment. communicated with the police. which resulted in the arrest of the inventor. Attorney Charles McGuire appeared at the police ata- tion in behalf of Foley and succeed- ed in getting his client out in bonds of $5,000. None of those interested in the case would have anything to say about the matter. It is claimed that Foley is working on the invention at the present time. . State C. of C. Opposes Old Age Pension Bill HARTFORD. Marci-i 11.-—Declar- ing that establishment. of old age pensions by the State would under. mine and destroy the old New Eng~ land principal of thrift. George 13. Chandler. secretary of the State Chamber of Commerce. strenuously opposed the principle of old age pensions at a. hearing before the Leg. islative Judiciary committee here yesterday. The hearing. which was on a. bill introduced by Senator Eugene P. Goldeln. of Meriden, on behalf of the labor organizations, developed sev— eral spirited exchanges. Represent- ative Edna (‘. Iv‘enniman. of Nauga- tuck. opposed the measure on the ground that. among other things. it was “fraternal." Following a. lengthy discussion of tho bill" proponents agreed with the committee that data. on existing con- ditions should be gathered. together. with an idea or the coat. to the State marble cube, to symbolise wall dead soviet leader is visible to visitors. Getting Ready for Summer Fruits —— Flowers — Vegetables Renovating the Lawn Everybody has a lawn. but very few people lime good once.

Many seed houses will mix you a grass prescription if you ask them. Thrre are grass-semi mixtures for shady lawns. for sunny lawns, for light soil. for hem 5’ soil. for sweet soil. for sour soil. semi that will give sod to stand hard usage. and for every purpose and situation likely to arise. It is a. matter of consulting a. catalogue or a dealer of recognized standing to get the right sort of seed. A lawn is a garden for grass. The soil needs fertilizing just as much if not more than the garden proper. for it must support a. heavier and denser plant life. Fertilizc the. lawn. l'soe pulvvrizml sheep manurc. shredded cow manure, nitrate of soda or the imiancrd commercial lawn fertilizers. There. will be. bare spots this spring owing to’the coating of ice which covered such a large part of the country. Be ready to seed these spots as soon as tho, ice has melted. lion the lawn as soon as frest is well out of the ground. The Ideal Apple? “hat is the ideal apple? A recent experiment station bulletin on apple growing defines ideal apples in very general terms as of "good size. attractive coloring and high quality; have a sound. productive. caripbcarlng tree: and be adapted to the particular location involved. To meet successfully future competition, such varieties. preferably red. are required." Plainly stated the one definite idea conferred in this definition is that the ideal apple should be a red apple although redness is not neces- sarily an indication of quality. Some of the finest apples are not. the rod- dest apples. _ The varieties of apples on sale in Nprth America. either as fruit or as trees for planting in the home grounds. are listed at about 1.000. State experiment stations in recent years have devoted much study to weeding out the inferior and pointing out the superior varieties and the lists are cut down materially although different states gave quite differ- ent lists as suited to their climatic and soil conditions. Apples hach come to us from various parts of the world. North America is the leading apple-growing country of the world although the apple originally came from southwestern Asia and the adjacent European territory. Of late years a few Russian varieties have been introduced for trial in some of the colder sections of the country. They have proved valuable as parents giving Alexander. \Volt River. Bismarck and others. Now is a. type of American apple half way between the two. The longer-shaped type is commoner in the regions l-m’ond the Rocky mountains. ~ The Garden Destroyers ' Potato bugs, cabbage worms and plant lice in assorted variety are garden pests that appear as surely as the season rolls around. and every gardener must be ready to meet and repel the invading hordes of insect destroyers. In addition the cutworm works insidiously and destroys some vegetables. although committing nothing like the depredations of enemies of the garden that work out in the open. There are also molds, blights and mildews to add to the toll. Th) forehanded gardener has his poison plant loaded and ready to swat the invaders on sight. In his list are arsenicai poisons. arsenate of lead. paris green. either alone or in combination: nicotine solution or tobacco pOWder for the lice. and bordeaux mixture for the various fungous pests. Also he has sprayers to distribute them. Aside from these poisons there are insecticides and slug shots which are nonpoisonous and effective. Later in the season there are various bugs and beetles that flock to the cucumber. squash and melon vines in droves. An insecticide combining all three qualities is an ideal one. are several proprietary poisons on the market which are now and kill the bugs present and thwart those approaching. The insect pests are two in variety. those that eat the foliage and stems and blossoms and those that. suck the Juices or the plant. potato bug and cabbage warm. The latter are confined largely to plant lice. For the esters. srsenical poisons are the proper treatment. They will also minimize grasshoppers when they get trouble- some in midsummer. Plant lice. which now appear in all sha‘des with,the exception of blue oues——and they may of nicotine or tobacco. The poison should be applied so that the entire surface of the plant is wet. The plant louse must. be hit by the spray to be killed. The leaf eaters need only to have the Olson o t ~ . they can eat it. p n he lcav es where men mtnliix T0 AID loam' PARTS.

Ordinarily the leaders are able to iron out any differences before the night. of the: caucus and opposition of any strength is very rare.
