MOTOR BUS WILL REPLACE
 COLCHESTER TRAIN sERv1cE

AS an economic measure the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad is to do away with it's airline train service be tween the hamlet of Colchester and Ans ton Junction and in its place install a motor bus route, according to an an nouncement made public Tuesday. A sim liar change is to be made on a number of the company's small branches throughout New England and it is ex- pected that some of the buses will be run ming within a month
 Colchester. town of some 2.000 inhab- ltants, is located on the Hartford turn pike, half way between this city and Hartford
 In the past those desiring to reach the town from either New London. Hart ford or New Haven. or any of the other Connecticut cities, have been obliged to go by rail to Anston a small junction, seven miles north of Colchester, and shuttle down on the Air line.
 The train one boarded at Amston, a privilege afforded only twice a day and once on Sunday consisted of locomo- tive, one baggage car and one small coach. The latter was very rarely filled, and the reason for this it is stated was that nearly every resident of CoIches- ter owned or could borrow an automo- nii0 ohoufu tloy lldNe occdsioH to ietNe the town and they preferred this means of travel to what the railroad company had to offer in the way of transporta- ton because they considered it much more convenient, less expensive and de- cided1y more comfortable.
 These new buses will be along the lines of the motor buses used on the streets, except that they will be at least 35 feet long with fanged wheels and a compartment for baggage A number of them will be sent to Rhode Island and Cape Cod country but the actual routes in these sections have not yet been de termined. The cars will be handled hy a conductor and a motorman and will be propelled by. gasoline engines of more than 50 horsepower.

EXCHANGE MANAGERS ELAN
 STATE COOPERATIVE TOOL

At meeting held in the r. M c. A. building at Hartford Monday, the man agers of cooperative exchanges made tentative plans for the organization of a state cooperative fertilizer pool. This meeting was called by the officers Of the state federation and the committee of managers of cooperative exchanges raised last year at a state meeting in Hartford in January.
 At the meeting Mir. Locke, the mana
 ger of the Providence Farmers Elk fertilizers. He stated that the Provi- dence Exchange would not take any ac-
 sion about buying until some time af- ter the first of the year. The present
 market situation indicates that there
 would be no rise in fertilizers and there
 was a possibility that if farmers held
 off their buying as they did last year,
 that the market would grow weaker
 and there would be some substantial re-
 auctions in the price of fertilizers be
 fore next spring. He advised the man
 agers strongly, whether the state pool
 was organized or not, to hold of their
 buying for some time, to get together
 the orders from the members of the
 various exchanges and know how large
 volume of business they had.'
 Manager SeFby of the Eastern States
 Farmers Exchange gave tI1s men some valuable information on the present sit- uation. He stated that there were i'm mense stocks of nitrate on hand fn this
 country, enough at the present time from estimates made to supply the Unit ed States for the next twelve months. There are also 1900. 900 tons on the docks at Chfli awaiting shipment. but there seems to be no market for this vast supply of nitrate. The Chiiian government derives a large part of its income from the tax which it places on 1 the exportation of nitrate and at the present time is seriously embarrassed l according to report by lack of funds due to the lack of a market for their nitrate supply. Only a short time ago | the United States government opened bids on 10000 tons of nitrate stored 1 in coal pocket in Maine. The East l ern States Farmers Exchange made a bid for this nitrogen. The large fertjli- ger manufacturers did not wish this ni- l trate to be nut upon the mraket and as l 2 result it was sold to Mir Dupont and : probably went to the American Agri- i cultural Chemical Company at s2S per 1 ton. This nitrate ana'yze7 well running i 15.6 per cent nitrogen. The bags were 1 in rather bad shape and it would prob /! ably be necessary to resacf1 the entire 1 amount. MT. Solhy stated that fer
 tilizer statesmen are especially active 1 this year for the month of October and are putting up all sorts of stories in an
 effort to secure orders for next spring $ shipment. Like Mir. Locke, he advised l deferrfng buying fertilizer until more definite information was known in re- gard to the market The Eastern States 1 Exchange which does business solely
 with farmers cooperative organizations i vii organize fertilizer pool this year ] for the benefit of New England. the
Norwich bulletin., 1921-10-20

same as was done last year when 5600 tons were bought through one pool The price which the Eastern states secured on this fertilizer pool was largely re-
 sponsibIe for low prices quoted by fer tilizer companies after the prices of the pool had been announced.
 A motion was made and carried that
 1t was the sense of the meeting that CO., operative fertilizer pool should 'be or ganizef for the state and the chairman. Dr. Woods, president of the Connecticut Farm Bureau Federation was author ized to appoint a state committee nam ing one manager from each county.
 Arthur Shedd, the manager of the Pres ton exchange, was appointed from New
 London county and was also named as
 chairman Of this state committee. NIT.
 Shedd has had some experience in buy
 ing for fertilizer pool, as one was or ganized in New London county last year, which handled IS cars of fertili-
 ger. Mir Shedd acting as the buyer. This state committee met following the l meeting and made definite plans to hold another meeting in about couple of 1 months, in the meantime asking the managers to get in any tentative re- qufrements for fertilizers, and cheni- caSs for the coming year.
 It was brought out at this meeting that unless the prlce or mixed goods changed materially 1t would be almost las profitable to mix their own mater ials this year, as it was last year. when a saving of anywhere from s15 to s25 l per ton was made by men buying their
 own materials and mixing their own fertilizer
 1 Four of the six exchange managers in New London county were present at 1 this meeting. These were Arthur Shedd.
 manager of the Preston exchange F. s. Armstrong. manager of the Yantic ex-
 change; J. D. Mccarthy manager of | the Norwich exchange. and NJ. H. Bart 1 lett of the Jewett City exchanre. while
