sTORRs aHELPs, TOBACCO
(New Britain Herald)

If some future writer in an en- cyclopedia wants material to write about cigars he needs only to turn to bulletin 174, of the Storrs agri- cultural experiment station, just issued. This contains a history of tobacco production in New Eng land. The bulletin is 65 pages thick and must be considered one of the star issues of. the Connec- ticut Agricultural College to date. The expense of bringing 1t out - well, why bring that up? !. The cigar industry began in 1901 when a Mrs Prout of South Windsor, Conn, began making them, though there is evidence the smokers were. sold in Hartford at an earlier date. The first price publicly quoted for cigars was in 1906, when they sold for 25 cents a dozen. In 1917 they were q cent apiece. <.
 Gradually tobacco produced in Connecticut was shipped to other markets to be made into cigars. and today the nations biggest ci. gar-making center Is Philadel-
 Thus, the bulletin ambles on. taking up all details of tobacco growing as 1t developed in Con- necticut during the 18th century But around 1920 came general decline in cigar consumption. something which continues to dog the indu9stry. The trend toward cigarettes became marked from that time on and this has not helped the tobacco growers of the state, seeing as their output Is strictly a cigar product.
 What ia to be done about 1t? Not even storrs can give the an swer. But 1t has furnished the trade with q book V or a pamph- let - that Is second to nothing ir, the entire tobacco industry. That ought to help!

Although prohibition is blamed with running the bay rum industry of the Virgin Islands. not to mention the distillation of the most famous of all rums. the Santa Cruz brand. Preach champagne manufacturers be- lieve that their business has benefitted It IS hard to believe this. but of all the wine makers of France they alone seemed to have suffered the least from American afidity. And that is explained merely by sly wink Of noneomrAittal shake of the shoulders. It is not the business of the champagne people to find out where their product goes So lons as 1t is sold. That it is eoimng into the United States in quantities Is hardly ques- tioned. One wine merchant recently here on q trip paid Sz5 for bottle of his own champagne that he originally sold for Sl.15. He believes that champagne at pre- war prices of $4 a quart would make this nation of wine drinkers. We wouldn't be surprised if he was right But we're more surprised that what he bought at the New York speaksasy was the real bubbly stuff. Too many limitations are being pawned off. today.

Westpoft is once more in the public eye although this time it is the town itself and not a section of 1t, such as Greens Farms is. where the Sherwood Island State Park fight eentefed for so many years. This time Wesrport is concerned over the dredging os the mouth ofsthe Saugatuek river. Argu' ments for and against the project were heard by Major Charles A. Taylor of the Federal Esineering Corps this week with Represen. tative William L. Tierney of Greenwich leading the opposition and Attorney Ken neth Wynne. executive secretary to Gover- nor Cross. appearing for the company that will profit by the dredging. The dredging project. sposorsd by sand and gravel con cern of New York for purely commercial purposes. is opposed not merely on aesthetic grounds but because it may injufe the towns shelf fish industry. It was also brought out at the hearing that when the town wanted the river mouth dredsed in 1927 to provide wider and deeper channel the sovernment saw no need for it. but now that private company seeks to do this very thing 1t is willing that it should be done Incidentally. 1t was also pointed out that townspeople and officials had chsngsd their attitude since 1927 when they wanted the dredging done. Where the town made its mistake was in not presenting such united front, as it mustered this week. at the federal hearing in Providence in the spring when application was made to the war department for permission. Had the project been squelehed then Westpoft might not have had to rise en mssse to oppose now.

DENIS GET EARLY START
 (Meriden Journal)


 Connecticut democrats are set- ting away to an early start in the state and presidential campaigns, as shown by the action of the cen- tral committee. in directing that fall convention be held at Eastern Point. Groton. on September and 8. This decision was not made without protest from Meriden and other places which contended that 2 more central location should be chosen, also pointing out that Gro. ton had the convention in 1880. but the controlling element de. clined to give ground.
 There Is something of a precc- dent in this early. independent &C., tion by the defns. Generally they await the republican announcement and then fix the time of meeting a week later than the z. c. D. session
 In the meantime the democrats will give consideration to their state ticket and the party platform will be made up. The outlook Is plainly for the renomination of Governor Cross. In making up the rest of the slate there may or may not be a resumption of the strug. gle for party control in the state. The campaign for delegates wiil get under way soon as they must be elected before August 34. No one day is fixed and the party cau- cuses and primaries will probably be held on different dates. P6liti- cal commentators have remarked upon a seeming lack of enthusiasm on the part of the committee to- ward the national ticket. Perhaps they were looking for that condi- ton and simply imagined 1t on ac- count of a lack of speeches and endorsement of the candidates.
 One thing is certain and that is that the democratic leaders are up and doing for this campaign and are displaying some of the vigor and aggressiveness that was used by Roosevelt supporters in cIinch- ing his nomination before Che Chi. cago convention.
