FRUIT AND PRODUCE GROWERS MAY ORGANIZE UPON PLAN OF
 THEIR WESTERN COMPETITORS

'ent a glut on the market at any time and to procure markets outside of the | county when needed saad George Cove, executive director of the F. c. A. today.
 The solution of this problem MT. Cove said in substance, presents one of the most difficult ever presented
 to this county for it means that much Of the present day business method must be changed.
 It Is one, however, which is needed for under present conditions no
 farmer in this county knows defl-
 nftely when he plants whether his produce is to be glut on the mark let
 or Is to bring big returns. Because of this situation he is seriously handi-
 capped in his financial operations.
 He is also confronted with the fact
 that when his produce is shipped to New York in competition with that grown in the west and marketed by
 big packing associations, his produce
 may be dumped into the rivers and his only return is a bill for transpor- tation. Fairfield county has to compete with other growing centers and must compete not only in the aggregate but as a we'll defined and progressive | unit with the backing of all pro- ducers. When he has solved the
 problem that now presents he will
 be guaranteed a reasonable surplus ] of profit over his expenditures and
 the vicious system of mercffanising
 which places him at a disadvantage will be overcome.
 One of the first steps in this county
 will be to have big fruit growers | exchange and packing plant with
 branches in various sections There
 the crops will be sorted, labeled,
 packed and shipped into markets that are prepared for their reception.
 The loss occasioned by speculative
 movements of produce operators will l be overcome.

One of the biggest ventures ever projected in Fairfield county, that of 1nstituting for the benefit of vegeta- modity producers an association for the marketing of produce here and elsewhere throughout the United states in a similar manner to that now adopted by the Southern and
 Western fruit growers has been launched
 Hans for the monster organization which probably will include co-opera- tlVe packing plants storage ware houses throughout the country, a sys-
 tenn or Internal transportation and the possibility of market agencies in all ene larger cities with privately owned lfe1r1gerator cars for the quick and sa1e movement of Fairfield county's produce are now being considered by
 members of the Fairfield County as- soclat1on which fosters the idea.
 Ihough no definite plans have been Formulated by these interested. and the ideas of all the agriculturists commission merchants, and others Who appear to be factors in the pro- uuctlon transportation, sale and con- sumption of foodstuffs are first to be collateos impetus has already been s1ven to the movement by Edward K.

TURKEY REFUSES
 TO AID AMERICANS

bernn, July IT. via London, July Is-Dr. Achmed Emin Bey, editor or the Constantniople Daily Sabah. one or party of Turkish Journalists Who are at present guests of the German government. told the Asso. clated Press today that the Turkish government has withdrawn the special train arranged for Americans who wished to depart from Turkey as result of a report made by the Iormer Turkish consul-general in New York on his arrival in Constan- tlnople that the American govern ment had refused to permit Turkish students in. New York to return with the officials.
 There is much feeling in Turkey as result of the action of the United states, said he, "and reprisals are urged In some quarters. When the break came our government offered to place at the disposal of American cit1zens special train in which thev might, travel in comfort on their way 70 switzerland. After we learned the attitude in America toward the Iurk1sh, students the government withdrew the offer.
 When the war began our govern ment closed the English, French and Russian schools and seized their property. Robert college in Con- stantlnople an American institution) was not molested, however, and is still open
 There are about 400 Americans still in Turkey

Truckload of Shells
 From A. 6 B. Plant
 Excites Curiosit,

and Edgecomb Bennett, the two lat ter negroes, were placed in the Hen rico county Jail.
 The truck was searched by county and city police in Capitol square. Richmond, and 50 boxes containing three-lnch brass shells, amounting to zoo rounds of ammunition, were found. One of the prisoners had a packing list which indicated that the ammunition had been shipped from the American & British Co. to the Furness. Withy Go. of Newport News.
 The seizure was made on the sus- p1c1on that a shipment was being made to some agent acting in inter ests other than that of the American government, but investigation by the attorney general dtscIoses that the transportation was legitimate. The truck was owned by Christopher R1ckard of Bridgeport
 The many rumors that were circu- lated. including one that contraband Whiskey was being carried in the truck, and another that arms were being carried to Q German agent, at- tracted large crowd in Richmond.

 they will locate headquarters
 At the meetings of the exemption boards to be held Wednesday at noon, the boards will consider questions that arise as claimants are being heard and the members will discuss these and interpret the regulation. they have been given to follow. The rules permit local boards to make exemp- tions onH for certain well defiNd causes. other claims being under the Jurisdiction of the district board. The large number of industrial claims that are expected in Bridgeport has caused the exemption board mem bers here to give much thought to a systematic way for quickly finding out registrants who desire immunity on the ground of their occupation and pass such cases along to the superior boards.
 Assistant physicians will have to be appointed by the boards to work with the doctor named by the presi- dent. It is estimated that physical examinations will take from 25 to 40 minutes and the amount of time re- quired for one man would be such that some of the drafted ones would not have their physical fitness passed upon in months. This is true more on account of the fact that the phy- sicians are not to be paid for the ex- aminations and will, therefore devote only spare time to the work
 The executive officer or his repre-. sentative from each board will attend a meeting of all exemption boards in the state at Hartford tomorrow. The state meeting is for the purpose of handling on the large scale for the whole state what the Bridgeport meeting yesterday accomplished only locally.
