DEMONSTRATE SEED SELECTING. Although Buildings of the School Are Not Yet Completed, the School Is Active in Many Ways. (Special to The Eagle.) Parmingdale, L. May 1-Professor A. B.

Graham, head of the extension department of the Long Island Agricultural School, has been aiding the New York Committee on the Unemployed in selecting land in New York City upon which farm work can be done. The committee plans to provide work for the unemployed on vacant land in the city. Already about 120 acres of land have been inspected. On the school grounds some interesting demonstrations are being made, while the contractors are hard at work getting the main buildings ready for occupancy. The extension department has just finished a demonstration to prove that, with a half day of painstaking experimentation, any farmer can pick out productive seed corn enough to plant thirty acres and be assured that none of the kernels he plants is a kind that will not germinate.

The experts took 156 ears of seed corn and out of that number discarded nine as unproductive. These nine ears, if they had been planted, would have taken up a space equivalent to an acre, and this unfruitful acre would have been plowed, harrowed and sown. It is figured that experiment on these 156 ears would save the farmer $53.50. The extension men at the school try to impress upon Long Island dairymen the importance of keeping check on the condition of their cows by daily weighing the output and keeping a record of it. This is done so that the dairyman can tell just when there is a falling off in production and can remedy the causes.

The extension men hold that a good production record is of more value to the cow than the longest pedigree. They see field for the dairyman Long Island. RENT IN SOUTHAMPTON. Southampton, L. 1-Cottages rented during the past week include Benjamin L.

FLAG DAY IN QUEENS Unemployment Fund Workers Are Encouraged. (Special to The Eagle.) Jamaica, L.

May 1-Mrs. Sydney Oilendorfer, who is executive member for Queens for the flag day effort to raise money for the unemployment fund, said today that the campaign has every indication of being a success. The only difficulty lies in the fact that although there were received 75,000 flags, only 2,000 boxes in which collect the money were received. The workers could have used 10,000 boxes. The pupils and teachers of the public schools have been doing especially good work.

Because the boxes are sealed it will be impossible to state the amount collected until the of the but Mrs. Ollendorfer says that reports indicate that a large sum will be obtained. C. H. HOWELL' FUNERAL.

Detectives state that Ericson confessed his part in the theft.

PREPARE FOR THE FOURTH. Jamaica, L. May 1-Preparations for "safe and sane" Fourth of July celebrations are under way in Jamaica. The committee to arrange for the Fourth of July in Jamaica met in the Jamaica Town Hall last night. George T.

Watts is chairman of this committee. Chairmen were appointed for the various sub-committees and preliminary plans discussed. LIGHTNING KILLS COW Plays Tag in Several Houses at Good Ground, Too. (Special to The Eagle.) Good Ground, L. May 1-The thunder storm that visited this section yesterday afternoon was terrific and unusual for this season of the year.

Electric lights and telephones in residences were put out of commission, trees were splintered and a cow was killed. At the residences of William S. Bellows and George E. Bellows, West Tiana, and John W. Caffrey, East Quogue, balls of Are entered and "cracked" with the report of a monstrous whip, yet, very peculiarly, not a bit of damage was done except to light and phone wires.

How the balls of fire got in or how they got out is another mystery. At the home of John E. Tunnell at East Quogue- -the Pine Grove House, so well known to Brooklynites- a beautiful cow that Mr. Tunnell gave $100 for a little while ago was struck dead in the pasture. Not a mark can be found on the animal, however.

Probably the bolt that hit first attacked two big willow trees on the opposite side of a lane. The trees were shattered into splinters. Then the bolt evidently entered the ground -a big hole shows at the foot of the tree, -and led across to the opposite side of the lane, where it hit the cow. MEDAL FOR ANNIVERSARY.

RICHMOND HILL MAY LOSE PASTOR COE First Baptist Church of Bristol, Extends Call to Him. HAS NOT MADE DECISION.

He Has Been With Richmond Hill Church for Nearly Fourteen Years. (Special to The Eagle.) Richmond Hill, L. May 1-A A unanimous call has come to the Rev. Henry D. Coe of Richmond Hill, L.

to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Bristol, Conn. Mr. Coe has the call under consideration, and will make his decision known in a few days. It is understood that the Bristol congregation confidently expect him to accept. Mr.

Coe has been pastor of the Richmond Hill Church for thirteen years and a half. He is regarded as one of the bright young preachers of the denomination, and he has always taken an active part in the affairs of the work of the young people and in the affairs of the Long Island Baptist Association, which comprises all the churches of Brooklyn and Long Island. Mr. Coe has not been heard in the Bristol pulpit, but the pulpit committee recently visited de Richmond Hill and heard him. He made so favorable an impression that the committee reported his name to a meeting on Thursday night called to elect a pastor, and he was chosen, no other name being presented.

May 1-A Jamaica District Council of the Boy Scouts of America will soon be organized. Prominent Jamaica men are behind the movement. A meeting will be held in a few days to perfect plans. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS There isn't any question now, ap-1 parently, but that both Nathan 0. Petty of Riverhead and Selah B.

Strong of Setauket and Brooklyn, who are seeking the Republican nomination for Surrogate, will "go to the mat" in the primaries next fall, for both have circulated their petitions and both are obtaining a lot of signatures. In some sections it is reported that Mr. Strong is securing machine indorsement; in others the report is favorable to Mr. Petty, while many of leaders say they are going to keep their hands off entirely. It is true, however, that Mr.

Petty's petitions have already been signed by such men as Dr. William Carr, chairman of the county committee, and nearly all of the leading members of the committee. Why is it that many of the town road builders loam and improve just a narrow strip in the center of the highways, even on main thoroughfares, where the traffic is heavy? To many people it seems as if the sides should be as free from sand as the centers, especially on a road bearing considerable crown, for in turning out to pass a fast moving car one has to get on the sides of the road, and striking sand suddenly is apt to be more disastrous when the entire road is soft. An odd situation in Bay Shore is that about every time they elect a Constable they move the jail. To save expense in moving, why not have it constructed on a set of wheels, something like one of the quick lunch wagons? If the Fithian (Tax Collector) recount in Easthampton takes as long for settlement as the Congressional recount, the Town Board might just as well appoint a Tax Collector right now, for one will be needed before the recount can be settled.

It looks now as if Port Jefferson will have this summer what might well be termed a political baseball club. Efforts are being made to put a rattling good team in the field, and it will have as backers such well-known politicians as former Sheriff Charles V. Platt, Justice Dreyer, C. W. Dare, Tax Collector Charles S.

Dickerson, Herman Hawkins, and so on. Mr. Platt always was deeply interested in baseball and, like former County Clerk Flanagan Riverhead, it has cost him a lot of money, first and last, in being the angel to provide good sport of that class for the public. An effort is to be made in the Constitutional Convention to make provision for a Sheriff to succeed himself, and Robert S. Pelletreau, the delegate from Suffolk County, says he will welcome criticism, pro and con, from his constituents.

In the petitions that Selah 'B. Strong is circulating as the first step to get nominated for Surrogate appear the names of Henry C. Kemble, Edward S. Ireland, George Taylor, John A. Potter and Richard A.

Bachia, as the committee to All vacancies. Only two of them, Messrs. Ireland and Potter, are well known generally among the voters of the county. It will be surprising to many to learn that over 40,000 court cases are filled in the Suffolk County Clerk's office, each case containing from one to fifty Begins War on Dirt Spring Dirt and Debris Are Doomed lages Where Official Apartfor Cleaner Communities. This is the clean-up season on Long Island.

In every village lawns are being cleaned and grass seed' is being planted, unsightly backyards are beginning to appears as trim, newly planted gardens and the smoke of bonAres show the fate of the accumulated rubbish of the winter. To help along the good work many villages have appointed certain days as the official clean-up season and the work of making the towns look attractive receives additional incentive. Many of these clean-up days will be next week, but to-day is clean-up day in some villages. Last May Selected by Foes of Dirt. Patchogue, L.

May 1-Because of the success which attended the "cleanjup" week a year ago, when first attempted, the women of the Civic Club of which Mrs. Arthur H. Terry is president, have formulated plans for another this season. The date has just been set, the last week in May having been chosen. By carting away all the rubbish for three days, starting May 26, they hope to have Patchogue the spotless town of Long Island for Dec- MRS.

ARTAUR K. TERRY. oration Day, and after that for the remainder of the season. An appeal sent out by the Civic. Club some time ago deals with the finaicial side as well as the esthetic gain.

"Nothing booms real estate so much as attractive surroundings and approaches," the report reads "For this reason, if for no other, those who are in this line of business would be wise to come to the club's aid and see that all lots for sale or vacant houses are made as inviting as possible. The nurseries can help very materially by advertising that those who have any idea of doing a little landscape gardening do it now, and have their lawns in shape before the clean-up week arrives. Glen Cove Women Have Charge of Campaign Against Dirt. (Special to The Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. May 1-Dirt and debris will be doomed to destruction in Glen Cove next week when the village experiences the first systematized clean-up campaign it has ever had, The Glen Cove Neighborhood Association has decided that the "clean up" days shall be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, May 5, 6 and 7.

Mrs. Charles is chairman of the committee, and associated with her are Mrs. Sallie P. Coles, Mrs. William H.

Bowne, Mrs. Henry W. J. Bucknall, Mrs. William I.

Frothingham, Mrs. Rees B. Krom, Mrs. John Coles Tappan, Mrs. A.

Ludlow White, Mrs. Homer Markle, Mrs. Herbert Lee Mrs. Charles T. McCarthy, Mrs.

Herbert Remsen and Mrs. Arthur H. Sleigh. As a preliminary detail to the campaign, attractive circulars bearing a sketch of a dooryard "before" and "after" the work of Mrs. Lee, were distributed wholesale throughout the village.

Circulars in English, Italian and Polish have been sent out. The "clean up" committee has secured several teams and these will be put to work Wednesday morning on the round-up of garbage, dirt and ashes. Today's the Day in Lynbrook. Lynbrook, L. May 1-Clean up day is being observed here today.

Lynbrook is following the way of Freeport, Rockville Centre and her other sister villages. The Lynbrook Civic Association is behind the movement here, and everyone has been requested to spend several hours at work around their yards and cellars. Residents have been asked to clean up lawns, gutters, back yards, front yards and alleys, to burn or haul away all gar- to Destruction in Many Days" Have Been Set Men and Women Will Labor bage and rubbish, prune shade trees, to plant trees on lawn and parkings, to All up dangerous and unsightly holes in vacant lots, to repair fences, gates, porches, screens and windows, to tear down worthless and unsightly signs, to plant flowers and shrubs on lawn and to paint store fronts and houses. Everyone Is Expected to Co-operate in Woodhaven. Woodhaven, L.

May 1-From Monday, May 3, to Saturday, May 8, will be "cleanup week" in this section. The Forest Park Taxpayers Association is engineering the thing and has already secured the co-operation of the citizens, the school children, the churches and the Street Cleaning De-: partment. Ten thousand circulars, telling what cleanup week means, have been distributed in the local schools, and this Sunday the ministers in the various churches will tell their congregations that "cleanliness is next to Godliness." Easthampton Is Active in the Movement. Easthampton, L. May 1--Twice the amount of money expended last; year to clean up the village will be.

spent this season for a similar purpose, with the added plan to keep the village clean once the work is accomplished. The Ladies Village Improve-. ment Society have charge of the clean-; up arrangements, and start the season, with funds on hand for the Recepticles for rubbish and waste. paper, streets, have been and placed daily upon instead the of busi- bia weekly collection of rubbish and waste papers is to be made. Boy Scouts May Aid in Work in Harbor.

Sag Harbor, L. May 1-To assist the clean up week, work, a delegation: of ladies of Village Improvement' Society have complained to the village trustees of the deposit of rubbish alongside the Hampton and' Sagaponack roads, leading into Sag Harbor. A move has also been made to enforce the law requiring merchants to keep their sidewalks unobstructed. It has been suggested that a general cleaning up of the village could be best done by the employment of the Boy Scouts organizations. Sayville Wants to Be the Dirtless Town Sayville, L.

May 1-Sayville is to be dubbed the dirtless town as well as the fireless and wireless town, if the Women's Village Improvement Society's plans work out as expected.

This number has been discovered by County Clerk Richardson, who has just finished the big task of locating all of them and having them classified and indexed for the first time in the history of the office. Every paper has been sorted over. Each case has been placed by itself in a special envelope and the contents of the envelope are marked on the outside. Then the envelopes are systematically arranged in fireproof filing cabinets, SO that after looking at the index any paper in the entire collection can be found in two minutes. The classification is one arranged by Mr.

Richardson. Those best acquainted with title searching work agree that the work is a fine one in every respect, and is a job that has been needed for a long time. The first case filed in the office is dated in 1723. It related to litigation over land in Huntington--a boundary line dispute, won by the defendant, James Hubbs. The papers are still well preserved.

It has been learned that an unusually capable lot of men have been appointed to take the State census. Most of them in the First Assembly District took the Government census five years ago; hence they are quite familiar with their dutles at this time. It would surprise one to see Captain Harry P. Haff no, Islip land the $3,000 job of superintendent of marine fisheries, now held by Dayton Hedges of Patchogue. Captain Haff is a man very well qualified for the position, having "followed the water" practically all his life and having also been connected with game law matters for a long time.

For years he has been a leading organization man. The Riverhead Town Board has a problem on its hands, the appointment of a successor to the late Justice William H. Taft. Lawyer Samuel S. Hotchkiss would like to have the position, it is said, and some Republicans have suggested the appointment of former County Clerk William F.

Flanagan, a level headed and well posted man. It looks now as if Mr. Flanagan will be appointed Monday. Republican politicians are laughing THIBAUT'S WALL PAPERS MAKE THE HOME BEAUTIFUL. For They Embody the Latest Thoughts in Modern Decorative Tendency.

again. The laugh is directed against the Democratic members of the Board of Supervisors who adopted a resolution cutting down the per diem salary of Under Sheriff Alvin F. Squires from $5 to $3 a day. A high legal authority has written an opinion for Mr. Squires to the effect that the supervisors have no legal right to either increase or decrease an official's salary during the term for which he was elected or appointed.

It was Mr. Squires who was quite active among other Republicans to push through the legislation placing certain officials on a salary instead of a fee basis. To "get back" at him and the organization the Democrats "trimmed his fees," as some of them call it. Now the shoe appears to be on the other foot, however, and of course leading Republicans are smiling. This opinion also indirectly affects Sheriff Odell.

The supervisors recently adopted a resolution taking away from him his civil fees, but according to lawyers "it can't be did." However, the resolution can lie dormant and become operative two years hence, when a new sheriff and under sheriff take office. SUSTAINS SURROGATE. Riverhead, L.
