The corn crop as finally figured out
by the department of agriculture can
not be considered disappointing, ex-
cept to those who early in the sum
mer were demanding a record yield Of
3,000,000,000 bushels or more. The
2,767316,00O bushels now recorded
makes crop some 100,OOO,000 bushels
above that of last year, and the larg-
est ever produced, save only in 1906,
when 927,416.000 bushels were
grown. AS the wheat and other chief
cereal crops also nearly reach high
record figures, and as potato crop
is reported of 367,473,0OO bushels
against 27s,9s5,OoO last year the coun
try cannot complain of lack of food

CAN'T GET INTO JAIL.
Peter Turner, Recently Discharged from Backus Hospital, Desires Win ter Quarters.

Peter Turner, old enough to know better, and young enough not to care, rounder with a record fin the police courts of eastern Connecticut, pre- sented himself in the city court Tues day morning, and asked to be given a term in the county jail.
 Turner. who was recently discharged from the Backus hospital at Norwich, drifted into town Monday night, shaky and cold and weary, and on applica- tion to Sergeant Hayes was permitted to sleep at the police station. Tues day morning he asked to be sent to jail and allowed chance to recuper- ate, but the officers knew the man and would not listen.
 When the city court opened for the morning session, however, Turner was on hand and informed Judge Russell f that he was the man he had fined $10 and costs, amounting to $1S.09. on Au- gust 8, 1907, and had permitted him time to pay, but that he had never paid. Turner said he had tried the selectmen for help without success and thought he would just drop in and see if the court would do anything for him.
 Judge Russell did not grant Turner's request and if he gets to Brooklyn it must be by some other route than that of the local court. Turner is fairly well along in years and of type too numerous and well known to get much sympathy.

Conneotieut Agricultural College
 Opens With 183 Students.

The college year at the Connecticut agricultural college at Storrs opened Tuesday with exercises in the chapel, including a brief address by President Charles L. Beach. There are 1S3 stu dents at present, the largest attend ance in the institution's history. They are enrolled as follows: First year 34 second year A, third year 53, fourth year 41, fifth and sixth. year z, unclassified 1. There are something like forty students from outside states.
 The greatly increased attendance makes the conditions at he college quite .congested, as only 100 can be accommodated at time in the main dining hall and in the large dormitory, Storrs hall, four students are occupy ing each suite which is twice the num- Der for which they were originally intended. The necessity for another dormitory and a larger dining hall or another equally as large is apparent as never before.
 A large number of candidates for the college eleven have already commence ed preliminary work to prepare for the first practice game of the season with the Springfield Training school eleven at Springfield Saturday. The Connecticut boys were soundly trim med by the same school last year, 22- O, but from present indications at Storrs, judging from the fine array of material, the annual contest should be much more even.
