The Connecticut POmOlogical Society which the Hartford Courant extracts the following as facts susceptible of proof:
 Connecticut raises more corn per acre than any other State in the Un- ion.
 No otEer State raises so many dol lars worth of rye per acre as this State -a; ;ses
 Except only New York and Rhode Island Connecticut raises more pota- toes for her size than any other State in the Union: only six raise half as much in proportion to their size.
 Only four States. New York. Massa- chusetts. Vermont and New Jersey, have more dairy cows in proportion to their size than Connecticut has
 You can grow as good fruits here as anywhere else. and market them bet ter.
 The average income per acre of farms in Connecticut is larger than in any other States except only Mass achusetts and Rhode Island The average per acre in this State is $26 56. Tn Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and Iowa it is S125S.
 Here in Connecticut we have a dense population. which means d good mar ket. It is hard to find a farm more than two and one-half miles from a railE pad. We have schools churches and libraries in abundance. Look at all this, and then realize that you can buy many Connecticut farms for less than the buildings on them cost The chance for the farmer is right here, if he only could be made to realize it.

 tioners state that various attach ments have been placed upon the property, that the business of the com pany is insufficient to pay it's ordin- ary running expenses, and that it's as- sets are in danger of waste because of the insignificant quantity of such
 business, the conditions surrounding
 such business, and the litigations which have been brought against the
 said corporation
 This afternoon ROsalie Bohannon,
 superintendent and president of the
 corporation, was the only witness call
 ed. She stated that the affairs of the

 amount of $500 out, which were for
 construction and alterations. Attor- ney James A. Marr appeared for the corporation, and Judge E. K. Nichol-
 son for the petitioners.

.aIII's UNIQUE POSITION"

Congressman Hill has gone to Hot Springs -feas- relief from rheumatism, ard h;s frieDds aye calling attention to tns assuHfes1 fact that he is able to ca so' without endangering, his chances of renonlination. It is, they say. a ''snique position. It is an indisput- able fact that his position is unique
 Irnique in the matter of Cannonism and the House rules. Mir. Hill says l-o is ''on the fence" and intends to say there Like Senator Bulkeley, i.e~evidentIy does not realize the Ant Cannon trend of Conpacticut senti- ,:sent
 Unique. Us to the Bulkeley-McLean Senatorial contest, Silence seems to re his policy. whether in hopeful ez- .ectation Of becoming the dark 5arse" in a possible deadlock or in restraint Of a natural inclination to- ward Mclean. as the result of fear that Bulkeley will block his Federal l;atronage and send his post office pro- teges into retirement.

Hill has forgiven the Sheriff for. with the eleventh hour aid Q: Senator Bulkeley. defeating his s.andidacy for Senator. q forgiveness which MT Hilrs constituents do not generally endorse.
 Unique. as to the reported repudia- ton of the alleged ''gentlenen's agree ment'' between Messrs. Hill and Me- Lean. under which the latter SUD- ported the former for Senator against Brandegee in exchange for a pledge Of the formers support against Bulk eley. In this. however, Mir. Hill would merely be copying an alleged and similar repudiation by Senator with Mclean. eander which he. was not to seek a re-election.
 Yes. MT Hil1's position is certainly unique quite possibly too. much so for complete safety. The Republi- cans of Western Connecticut are not particularly fond of Speaker Cannon Cr Senator Bulkeley nor do they gen erally favor deals under which {, half dozen persons apportion offices and dictate for whom the privates shall vote The quality of uniqueness is not always a benefit to a candidacy, and may easily. unless materially neck
