various points where the facilities are inadequate and the amount of freight considerably less, resulting in delay as well as two or three handlings Under the new arrangement prompt ness and one handling will be possi- ble. M&tor trucks and trailers will be used on the platforms to facilitate the transfer of freight from one car to another.
 A distinctive feature of the plans for the new yard is the separation of grades at Air Line Junction, a point that has heretofore been a bad one for delaying trains. The westbound Shore Line passenger trains will be carried overhead all the tracks. The freight will pass underneath in the middle. The northbound passenger line will pass underneath and around the east side of the yard. Under this arrangement through passenger and through freight trains will not cross each other at any point at or in the vicinity of New Haven.
 Tn a similar manner, the freight tracks leaving the Shore Line east of the Junction will be separated from the grade of the westbound passenger track. Shore Line trains will also cross over the grade of the Air Line and northbound passenger line to ingield and Hartford. and also over the freight track on which the freight trains from New York and the Poughkeepsie Bridge route enter the yard.
 The New Haven road, in anticipa- ton of the needed improvement at New Haven, purchased nearly all the property required some time ago At the present time five steam shovels are in operation and 1t is hoped to have a few of the tracks of the first cluster completed within three months.

TOBACCO GROWERS

We understand that q number OF
Growers have not been able to get
sufficient help to enable them to strip
all their tobacco. We are in the ware
house business to help the Growers.
1t Is probable that the market will
close within the next few weeks. II
your tobacco Is in condition and you
are unable to strip 1t, Just bring It to
us on the stalk and we will put our
expert tobacco handlers on 1t and
strip 1t right and sell 1t well for you,
for a reasonable fee.
While the market only averaged
1852 last week, our average was
$17.C5, which is due to the careful
way we handle tobacco. Bring what
tyou have left, on or Off the stalk, and
we will do the rest. Market continues
good at our house and we want to
help you.
