A SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

Despite the terrific heat of the open.
ing day and the pouring ain OF the
second, both Of which conditions di.
minished the attendance by many
thousand, the Grand Forks fair
which has just closed, has been g
gratifying success. The weather dur-
Ing the last two days was all that
could be desired, and the attendance
was gratifying.
The stock exhibit was the great fea-
turs of the fair. 1t was, in number
and quality Of entries, by far the best
display Of live stock that has ever
been seen in the northwest, and its
growth and the interest taken in the
exhibits by visitors is a hopeful indi-
cation Of the direction of northwest,
ern agricultural thought. The other
exhibits were numerous and credit
able, most all Of the classes being
we'll filled, and the display in the
Liberal Arts building attracted much
favorable comment.
The boys encampment conducted
by Prof. Crane of the Great Northern
was one Of the interesting and profit
able features, and it was this more
than anything else which induced Mr..
Hill to attend the fair, address the
crowds, visit with the boys and in
speet the exhibits. Mr.. Hills address
es were, as they always are, full OF
practical common sense, and any ad-
vice that he gives is based on the e
%perience of a long and successful life.
OF entertainment there was abund-
ance. The feats performed in front
of the ~grandstand were sk~illfully
done, and the program was carried
out smoothly and without a hitch.
The carnival features were of a. mis-
%cellaneous sort, so that a variety OF
tastes could be satisfied. The races
were unusually fine. Every day had
It's good program, and the race pro-
gram was brought to a fitting close
by the breaking Of the state track rec

horse, the property Of a former Grand

New Haven Road Asks to Be Relieved from Cutting Out Grade Crossings


 The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has peti- tioned the public utilities commission for a suspension of it's orders relating to the eliminating of grade crossings. A hearing will be held on the petition Tuesday. Feb. r. at 11.30 a. m-, in the capitol.
 The company gives as a reason that owing to it's financial condition it is unable to carry out the orders already made for the elimination of grade crossings. The paragraph in the peti- ton in which the company gives its reasons is as follows:
 'Thot owing to the demands on the revenues of said company, due to the large increases in wages recently com pelled, the installation of longer cross overs between mail line tracks the large renewal of ties and other struc- bridges, the installation of new signal systems, and providing for steel car equipment, coupled with the difficulty in securing funds to provide for the additions and betterments described, it is impossible for your petitioner to carry out the orders already made by your commission for the elimination of grade crossings to complete its statu- tory obligations for said fiscal year 1914
 Wherefore, your petitioner plays that your honorable commission will inquire into the matters hereinbefore alleged or connected herewith and make such orders in the premises as may be deemed necessary to suspend said orders to the relief of your peti- toner"

If the farmers of Norwich and vi- einity will agree to plant 75 acres in the aggregate to cucumberS, agreeing to sell the product to the c. K. Sher- will establish pickle salting station at Yantic. That was the proposition placed before meeting of about 50 men at the Yantic fire engine house on Wednesday afternoon.
 First Selectman A. w. Lillibridge was the first of several at the end of the meeting to sign an agreement to plant an acre to cucumbers. He was followed by several more and the list Is to remain in the hands of w. E. Manning and H. J. Gibbs, who have served as the local committee, to re- ceive more signatures
 President c. K Sherwood of the pickle making concern explained the plan to the meeting and also spoke at Bozrah grange at an open meeting in the evening.
 Explains the Plan.
 w. B. Manning called the meeting at the engine house to order shortly after 3.15 o'clock and introduced Pres ident Sherwood to explain the pur- pose of the meeting.
 Mir. Sherwood said that the com pany wanted a salting station and that it would consist of covered tanks into which the pickles would be collected
 
 in the plant in New York
 The company would pay the farmers $15 8 ton for pickles from 5 inches down to inches. When the farmer picks from the vines if the pickles are above inches he saps the strength of the vine MT. Sherwood said a sandy loam soil would be suitable but a heavy sticky soil won't answer for this crop. The pickle crop, he said. would pay the farmer better than any other crop that could be put into the ground. He had known a normal crop that produced from 10 to 12 tons an acre. He quoted one man of his acquaintance who never failed to average sSe from 8 half acre of cucumbers The company pays the farmer one-half cash when the crop is harvested and the balance in Jan uary, and if the farmer wants money the firm will discount their accounts at the rate of per cent. or two and one-half per cent. on the whole.
 The company furnishes the seed to all who contract to grow cucumbers for the salting station. It takes a pound of seed for an acre. MT. Sherwood said it was figured that it costs the farmer $9 per acre to plant, cultivate and care for the cucumbers. They have to keep the weeds out till the vines begin to run, and when picking times came the crop would have to be pick ed probably every other day. Take All They Produce. MT Sherwood said that the company would make contracts with the farm CTS and would insist upon taking all the cucumbers which were produced from the acreage the farmer agrees te plant by his contract. He showed the contract which the company makes with the farmers. All hubs, yellow crooks, large and unmerchantable pickles are deducted as waste, but the company pays S5 per ton to the farm CT for these. The pickles are to be de- livered in one bushel crates between a. m. and 6 p. m. at the salting sta ton.
 If enough farmers would agree tc plant cucumbers to make a total of 7s acres, the Sherwood company would

 Under the heading of Safety First the letter gives these instructions:
 "Many accidents have occurred dur ing the past few years. of which very large proportion have resulted from carelessness of our own employees.
 The company must rely entirely upon the judgment, cane and watchful- ness of each of it's employees in the conduct of the work to prevent acct- dents to himself, his fellow workmen and the public.
 "The company considers the safety of its employees and the public to be the most important principle of the business, all other problems are of secondary importance
 You must, therefore, constantly in- struct your subordinates to exercise the greatest care and Judgment in the performance of their work, and en- courage them to carefully inspect our plant for the purpose of determining that nc unsafe conditions exist which may cause damage to property or in- jury to persons,

WAS LAW STUDENT
 UNDER JEREMIAH HALSEY.
The Late John J. Copp of. Groton
 Studied in This City.


 Born in Groton on the 2sth day of June, 1S40. John Joseph Copp, who died there on Monday, was the second son of Belton A and Betsy Ann (Bar- ber) Copp. He was educated at Bacon academy, Colchester, and Amherst college, graduating from that institu- ton in 1860. For some years after graduation MT. Copp was engaged in educational work at Lancaster. Wis. Afterwards he returned east and studied law in the office of the late Jeremiah Halsey. He was admitted to the New London county bar in Sep tember, 1868, and for some years en- gagged in the practice of his profession in this county. After some years of practice he retired to his farm at Pleasant Valley, Groton, preferring to the turmoil of the court room the more quiet and congenial environment of his books and his farm. He was lover of nature and outdoor life. His informa- tion on agricultural conditions in New England was scientific and precise so that his little farm was attractive not only because of the quaint beauty of the place, but as an object lesson.
 MT. Copp was an indefatigable reader and close student, and his mind was stored with the great classics of English literature, with which he had a perfect familiarity. He was well Versed in the early history of Con necticut. and especially of New London county, and has written much of in terest and value on this subject. He was one of the early members of the New London County Historical society and always interested in it's proceed ings.
 MT. Copp was a lifelong member of the Congregational church of Groton. For many years he was a teacher in it's Sunday school and was at different times superintendent of the Sunday school and clerk of the church society He was zealous in the cause of tenn perance and was one of the founders of the prohibition party in this state
