Wood Ford Farm
Builds Dairy Bam
Famous Ayrshire Herd
Has 6-Year Milk Record
One of the finest and most modern
dairy barns in the United States, us
ing the newest building materials
and developments to safeguard
against fire, was completed re
cently on the Wood Ford Farm at
Avon, Conn.
Forty feet wide and 267 feet long,
the bam houses 100 milking cows.
It includes also a large feed room,
box stalls, an office, a room for
employees, and a well-equipped
milk room.
Fire destroyed the old dairy bam
last summer. None of the farm’s
famous ayrshire herd was harmed
because it had been put out to night
pasture.
In making the barn fireproof con
crete was used for the floor, cinder
Dr. Gus Cunningham
Speaks On Communism
To Mountville Grange
Dr. Gus Watts Cunningham, for
merly Sage Professor of Philoso
phy and Dean of the Graduate
School at Cornell University from
1921 to 1949, addressed the Mount
ville Grange at its regular monthly
meeting.
He spoke on the subject, “What
Is Communism?,’’ and traced its
growth from its inception in the
vorks of Karl Marx to the present
day. Dr. Cunningham pointed out
that the hard core of the Commun
ist party is composed of a rela
tively small number of fanatics
who believe that the ultimate
triumph of the working class is in
evitable, and that any means neces
sary to accomplish this end is jus
tified. He said that we should be
on guard to identify Communists
for what they are, and that we
should regard as suspect any end
that requires devious means for its
attainment.
The meeting was well attended
and was followed by the usual so
cial hour.
I About an hour was spent studying
the grounds and monuments of the
; State House. The group was agree-
| ably surprisd at the reception they
received in the Legislature where
they were recognized and intro
duced by Rep. Tench Owens of
Clinton. The same cordial wel
come was given them in the Senate
by Senator Ralph Wilson of Lau
rens. Here they listened to speak
ers, the roll call and to the com
promise version of the money bill.
At Gov. Byrnes’ office they re
ceived pamphlets and autographed
pictures of the Governor.
At noon a picnic lunch was en
joyed at Valley park.
This was a full day but every
one agreed it was a day never to
be forgotten.
The commercial course being
taught by Mrs. G. W. Irby of the
crphanage staff, is holding classes
each Tuesday and Thursday nights
from 7 to 9 o’clock at the high,
school bulding. Any person who
wishes may join tonight, it is stat
ed. by coming and enrolling.

The bam features an effective

thermostatically controlled Ians
from a point near the floor.

been the highest producing ayrshire
herd in the United States tor the
past six years.

New Burley Strains Are
Almost Free of Wildlife
New strains of burley tobacco that
are almost immune to wildfire, one
of the most destructive diseases of
the crop, have been created by an
agriculture department plant acierv
i tist.
The strains also have a lower
| nicotine content. Thia, too, ii a
major advance, because nicotine in
present day burley—used principal
ly in blended cigarettes—is higher
than is desired.
A third point about the new
• plants is that they seem to be a
| little more vigorous in growth than
! other lines.
But it will be two or three years
| before growers have these plants,
! because they must be improved and
| selected for local conditions before
they are released.
The man who originated the new
strains is Dr. E. E. Clayton. He de
veloped the wildfire resistance in
the new lines from a wild species.
The new line was developed after
a systematic study of several hun
dred wild species during the last 15
years.

To keep empty feed sacks
from being damaged by mice or
rats, take a piece of iron pipe
slightly longer than the width of
the sacks and suspend it from
the ceiling with two lengths of
wire. Mice and rats are unable
to get down the wire to the
sacks. The average farmer will
save considerable money In a
period of a year by following
such a practice.
