 Report of Secretary.
 Secretary Leland w. Gwatkin tn en gave his report, which was as fol- lows:
 The 62nd Annual Exhibition of the Connecticut State Agrlcultural society was held September 29th and 30th and October 1st and 1nd. On a whole the exhibits were very satisfactory both in number and quality. We pair nearly $3,0O0 in premiums for dairy herds, oxen and steers. This was an increase of nearly $l,000 ever 1913. The committee and officers have en- deavored to give to the public the best cattle show in the state erd I think you will all agree with me that we have not fell short of the mark. This We, with our revenue, cannot afford to pay $4 per yoke in addition to our regular premiums which are increas- ing from year to year.
 We offered premiums fol farm and draft teams this year instead of brood mares and stallions. This Gepartmen ent cost us $74 and l think it is much more satisfactory until We can pro- vide suitable stable room. Our sheep and swine departments Were not up to the standard but our premiums were comparatively lower. In round num- bers $50.
 Our agricultural products and veg etable classes were the best ever, and cost us only s3O more than last year. Considerable more room was given to these departments and they were able to make much better showing. Recommendations ur, ,Ianufacture
 Department.
 The dairy and culinary art depart ments cost us the same as last year and were far above the standard. believe we are spending too much money on our domestic manufa cture department. We paid $3CU in pre- miums in this class alone. The ex- hibit was A-No. 1 in every detail but l believe we can fill our space with a satisfactory exhibit for less money. The school exhibit. which vas housed in the same building was very nicely arranged and cost the same last year.
 Our fruit show occupied a separate tent and cost us $50 more than last year. This exhibit was exceptionally good and l believe We can give a fruit show second to none by offering about $500, which is s1OO more than it now costs us for our show.
 We did not have quite as many ex- hibits in our Horticulture department. as last year but quality made up the deficiency in numbers and our pre- mlums only amounted to s150. I cer- tainly believe we get value received in this department.

 The poultry class vas tie largest ever, it being necessary to build q iargc addition to our permanent DOuI- t~y building. But hero is another de- part:rent where Wo must economize. 900 awards werc made at a cost of ' s85o. Last year 560 awards cost us s550. Our entry money on poultry amounted to about S250, making a net cost in premiums in this depart ment of $500. would recommend that We bar most of the so-callec hucksters who carry about everything but tho well known varieties and walk off with q large portion of the money.

Berlin News CWATK|N RESIGNS
 FROM FAIR ASSN. Sewers His Connections as SeCIc- tsIy During Annual H6etIng TREASURER REPORTS A DEFICIT
War Had Bad Effect on Recent Fair State Appropriation Covers Deficit
 and Leaves Small Balance
 Teachers Give Miss Dudley Shower.

To the complete surprise and re- gret of all present, Leland w. Gwat- kin tended his resignation as secre- tary of the Connecticut State Agricul tural society at the annual meeting held last evening in the town court room. It was entirely unexpected and the directors are at a loss to find q capable successor. Ln the nine years that he served, MT. Gwatkin filled the requirements of the, office in con- scientious and painstaking manner and, unless a man of his calibre is e elected to succeed him, the association will suffer greatly.
 x. A deficit of S345.45 was shown in tle report of Treasurer Bryan H. Atwater, almost half of which was caused by the liquidation of a deficit of S12S.43 on the fair of 1913 How ever, MT. AtWater explained that he has just received $500 as the remain der of the state appropriation, which assistance renders a balance of S154.- 55 in the treasury.
 ~olonel Charles M. Jarvis was re- elected president of the society and J.. H. Healey secretary of the state department of agriculture, was chosen member of tho executive committee in the place Of N. G. Williams of Brooklyn, Conn.
 Remarks by President.
 After the meeting had been called to order by President Jarvis and the minutes of the last meeting had been read and accepted Mr. Jarvis made his report. He spoke extemporanc- ously, dealing with the various phases of a good agricultural fair which. he said it was the ambition of the local society to give. He expressed the Optn- ion that an agricultural fair in this state is the greatest nossi blc boom to the agricultural interest of the Colu- m munity, particularly in this lnanufac- turing section. He stated that there are thousands of acres in Cornccticut which arc not being cultivated now and which should bc 1nadc to nr0ducc' food. sThe colonel ccrte1dcd that t1o local fair iG "ocCnG 70 mono in the state, as far as acri"t-1tu~n is COL cerned. Two exhibits at tho recent fair which lle con~idcrcd very important were nose Of the canned fruits and milk, he said. He thought that -ha Connecticut Dairymcn's association had a splendid exhibit which offered nam erolis educational advantages
 sAs was thc case with Othe" similar IevSnts. tho Berlin fair was not as big a Acces8 cs it might have been, sail { the president. which fact was due to g+h d effects Of tho big European war.

pended, however, as this exhibit at tracts as much attention as any eX hibit we have on. the grounds The children's club put up very good exhibit, but sufficient space was not allowed to show it off at a good ad- vantage.
 ''One of the best features of our fair was the canning demonstration conducted by the extension service of the state The New Haven Experi ment Station and the Connecticut Ag- ricultural college exhibits were both attractive as well as educational and should be continued each year.
 Our horse racing and amusements were far ahead of anything yet given.
 Our fair was better advertised and considering the so-calIed hard times our attendance was all that could be expected.
 Abolish Pass Privilege.
 II would like to see the pass priv ilege abolishe d. A well known man, who is selling machinery, told me this week that it seemed to him that at least one out of three people he saw had pass button. A number of the large fairs in the west have discon- tinued the use of the pass At the end Of the fair those entitled to free admissions are reimbursed.
 Feed and lumber were sold on the grounds and the society netted about S2O.OO. It is not our intention to make money on these items, but handle them as a convenience to our exhibitors
 ''7Fhe superintendents have worked for the good of the cause year after year without remuneration and it was decided to offer $100 in gold to such superintendents who showed the largest per cent. of increase in the number of entries. Like the shoe makers family they have not yet re- ceived the gold but a credit is as good as gold with the C. $. A. society and l hope we will be in position to meet our obligations before long.
 Iive-day Fair.
 "In conclusion let me recommend a five-day fair to be held on the sec ond week in September. The first and last days are acknowledged to be poor days with all fairs and 1ive-day fair should give us three good days and it is the good days that pay our expenses"
 In speaking of the report, Presi- dent Jarvis susta ined Secretary GWat- l>in's statement regarding the liberal distribution of free passes adNocat- ing it's discOntinuanCe. He added also that the local fair has been paying larger premiums than any other fairs in the state. =

POWERS OF THE GOVERNOR.

Governor Alexander should have in
formed the public, during the cam
paign, about the constitution of Idaho
as II relates TO the powers of the chief
executive, for we fear in view of rep
reservations on the stump the organic
act is going to frequently rise up to
embarrass him.
whether it is wise or not, the con-
stitution of Idaho severely limits the
governors power. He has a few ap-
polntments, such as members of COM
missions, state engineer, etc, together
with he members OF his office force.
lie can send messages 10 the legisla-
trre. He a issue extradition papers
ana he can reprieve a condemned con-
Wet until the next meeting of the par
don board. That is about as far as he
can go. So far as other matters are
concerned he is simply a member OF
various boards II can only cast one
vote. He cannot issue a pardon nor
SO much as discharge the janitor of
the capitol building. In the broad glare
OF the state constitution our executive
is rather dwarfed. with
the campaign stature. We have al
ways commended that the governor of
Idaho should have more power to the
end thai responsibility be more def
nltely fiXed-but there's the constitu-
