COUNTY AGENT PLACED
 IN GENERAL CHARGE.
Home Garden Project Has Been Start
 ed in New London.

There was a conference of those in terested in afle garden cultivation pro- ject in the rooms of the New London Chamber of Commerce Wednesday morning. Representatives from many of the municipal and civic orsaniza- tions were in attendance and the mat ter was thoroughly discussed.
 The plan is to have the general su- pervision of the project under County Agent F. c. Warner. a practical super intendent to have charge with assist ant superintendent for each organ ization participating. It is planned to provide for a systematic regfStra- ton of vacant land available.
 Professor Hitchcock submitted a plan to have a model plot about 30 by 60 laid out and have it cultivated by an experienced gardener which would be a sample from which all could pattern Thirty or 40 students of the vocational school are planning to copy this in their back yards.
 He said that c. D. whitman of Waterford will provide pea brush and bean poles if boys will go out and cut them He will also pay boys for farm work if they prove eficient. as will other farmers.
 Prizes are not advocated, 1t being the general opinion that funds for the supervision of the project were much more important than anything else. The proposition of financing it was considered and it was thought that between $500 and s1.oeo would be sufficient

NIANTIc MAY BE
 4 TRAINING CAMP
Civilians to Study There for U. s.
 Army ofFieers.

Connecticut may get one of the ci- william training camps for officers which the governments contemplates esta'b- fishing about the country. on the P1attsburg idea, according to Auson T. McCook, of Hartford. who trained at P1attsburx and is deeply interested in the matter. Lfr. McCook emphasizes the word may" as he says 1t is more likely that one such camp would suf- flee for New ErxIand and that Boston. with it's officers from the CharIestown n navy yard, Portland, 3fe., and Spring field, Mass. have been the points men tioned as desirable for civilian train ing camp.
 Mir. Mccool<.s information is that the details of the administration s plan have not been worked out at all. and it may be that it will reach out to the extent of a civilian training camp for officers in each state where feasible. If such should be the case Mir. McCooi< says Niautic would prob ably be first considered for Connecti- cut, as the grounds have been piped, the location is santtary and the couH- try round about ideal to drfll over Its proximity to New London ard the forts nearby would make it very han dy for officers from the forts to give some of their time in training the ci- williams.
 The number of camps set up, through ure on how many civilians are desir- ous of fitting themselves for commits sions in the Officers reserve corps.

NO ONE ALLOWED TO
 VISIT RESERVOIRS.
Special Constsbies Ordered te Keep
 Every Person Of the Premises.

To insure the safety of the city res ervoirs, special constab bies appointed by Mayor Allyn L. Brown with the ap- proval of the court of common council have been detailed to guard duty at both Fairview and Stony Brook They have full Instructions to keep everyone off the premises and to show no favors to anyone. The reservoirs are being guarded day and night, and anyone who trespasSes the grounds here after will meet with a warm reception as the guards do not intend to be seen first In spite of the publicity that has been given this matter, some people do not seem to realize the necessity of having a guard on duty and the neces- sity of keeping everyone off the prem lses. Of late several people have tried to take their little afternoon walk" around the reservoir at F'afrview and have met opposition on the part of the guards. The guards in carrying out orders have incurred the displeasure of the trespasSers, who have flung in sulting remarks at the city's protect ors These people will do well to think twice before they visit tlE reservoir again or they will get into trouble, and serious trouble. too
 Superintendent Burnap has had the approaches to the reservoirs barricad- ed and large signs have been erected where they can be seen easily. The signs read: "Danger-Keep On!" Take cue and keep off"
