CONNECTICUT BOYS
 IN FARMERS ARMY
State Food Supply Committee
 Considers Enlisting Youths
Especial to the Herald }

Hartford, April 1.-The proposi- ton of enlisting boys less than mili- tary age in junior agricultural army is being considered by the Connecti- cut committee or food supply. This was disclosed at a conference of the committee with the county agents from all parts of the state, held yes- terday afternoon at the committed s headquarters in Hartford. The county agents and some of the officials of the county leagues about twenty-five in all. met at the invitation of the com mittee for the discussion of plans by which all agencies interested in the agricultural welfare of the state may cooperate to increase tho food crops raised in Connecticut this summer. There was a general discussion and the committee members were much
 interested to learn the ideas and

ideals of the county agents and to find out from them what work has already been undertaken in the state along increased food production lines.
 When the proposition of enlisting boys less than military age in a junior agricultural army was ad- vanced, the committee members were able to tell the county agents that ar engagements had already been made for a meeting of high school princi- pals, the heads of the larger grammar schools and the headmasters associa.- tion of the state. to take up this very question. This meeting is to be held at the state capitol Friday afternoon at ? o'clock. By that time the com- H. Holco1nb hope to have & detailed scheme ready to present.
 Another matter taken up was the proposition of urging the owners of large estates to curtail as much as possible this season in the matter of non-productive occupations, to free labor for productive work. The food committee last week made public a request that such a course be followed.
 There was also a discussion of the proposition of making use, in coun- ties where 1t is not done, of penal labor. Plans of this kind have worked out satisfactorily in Litchfleld and Windham counties. Other Ques- tions taken up included some new system of farm loans and possibili- ties of fixing prices. No final action was taken on any of the propositions discussed, the meeting having been

BOYCOTT ON TISZA

Apponyf Antirassy and Karolyi Wash
 Hands of Hungarian Premier for
 Refusal to Discuss Reforms.
 Budapest, April IT, (via Berne to Paris) s).-Angered at the refusal of Count Tisza, the Hungarian Premier, to take up voting and other reforms in parliament, powerful op- position, led by Counts Apponyt. Andrassy, and Michael Karolyi, has broken completely. and, 1t Is stated. finally. with the government leaders. and announces that from now on 1t will have nothing, to do with Count Tisza, politically or socially. The op- position leaders say that they intend to begin their boycott by refusing to attend the charity meeting patronized by Queen Zita, in which Count Tisza is active.
 That the government is still in con- trol, however is indicated by the fact that the meeting planned for April 29 in front of the parliament building to discuss voting reforms has been pro- hibited.
 /. Count Tisza's only answer thus far is a speech to the workmen's party in which he stated that further voting reforms, were unnecessary and that the prolongation of parliament, for which the opposition was clamoring, was not needed, because the only question of importance that could arise was that of peace. and that was in it's preliminary stages. At least, he said, 1t was not question for the parliamentary body to touch.
 The breach comes after a coalition between the government and opposi- tion was attempted, and which, when 1t proved vain, was followed by a strong effort to dislodge Count Tisza and form a coalition cabinet headed by Count Andrassy.
