State Growers To
 Meet In Bridgeport
G. s. Watts, Pennsylvania Association Ex-President
 to Address Annual Session Tomorrow

Hartford, January 4-Gilbert $. Watts. ex-president of the Penn. Vegetable Growers association and now one of the leading vegetable growers of that state, will explain many of the things which mako his farm successful. MT Watts will talk at the annual convention of that Connecticut Vegetable Crow CTS association which meets to- morrow and Wednesday at the Stratfeld Hotel in Bridgeport.
 Mir Watts has been a lifelong student of vegetable growing and several years ago he decided to be- come a practical farmer and put into operation many of the theor- ies which had come to his atten- tion. A farm located on state road was secured, a storage plant and roadside market erected and then he was ready to test his com. mon sense ideas. The results have been more than he expected for the roadside market has become one of the outstanding markets of it's kind in the country and his business has prospered in spite of difficulties.
 Connecticut vegetable growers consider themselves extremely fortunate in having the opportun- ity of hearing MT Watts. President J. E. Lewis says that the vegetable growers of this state are finding 1t increasingly difficult to make n profit and he believes that Mr

bate on the resolution was opened. This develop renewed objection to the passage of the resolution main- ly because the repeal or modifica- ton of this law was a matter be- yond the purposes of the Connec- ticut Bar association and also be- cause no notice had been given to members that this resolution would be offered. the attendance at the meeting was small, a vote would not reflect the sense of the associa- ton. The proponents of the reso- lution agreed with latter conten- tion and withdrew the resolution. And thus has the matter stood. No further action has been taken by the State Bar association.
 The Waterbury Bar association believed and now more firmly be- lieves that the 18th amendment and the Volstead act are laws un- enforced and unenforceable, that such a condition has materially lessened the respect for all law and hence, that 1t is within the prov ince of lawyers, indeed their duty either collectively through their bar associations or individually to register their opinions for or against these measures and If against to use their best efforts to remedy the situation.
 Therefore, by q unanimous vote, the Waterbury Bar association un- dertook to give all the lawyers of the state their first opportunity to express by written ballot their opinion on the repeal or non-re- peal of the 18th amendment. The result of the ballot proves con cluslvely two points, first. the lawyers of this state consider that this matter is well within the pur- view of the practice of their pro- fession and they were ready for the question and second, that the Con- necticut lawyers are unnlterably in favor of repeal.
 "The committee wishes to eX- press its great appreciation to the lawyers Of Connecticut who so whole -heartedly extended their CO., operation and made the referendum numerically large enough to be

solely as a check on the ballots and insure limitation of their use to lawyers in good standing in Con- necticut. The use of signature slips in no way affected the se- crecy of the ballot as, upon iden- tification. the slips and the still un- opened ballots were separated. .
 "Since the Waterbury Bar asso- citation is purely local, 1t was de- cided to have each lawyer first vote on the question of the pro- priety of our association taking a statewide poll in the manner con- templated. This ballot read, Do you favor the taking of a referen- dunn of the lawyers of Connecticut on the question of Natoinal Pro- hibition?" The balolt was colored yellow and instructions were given to vote and seal this ballot in an envelope provided for the purpose also colored yellow. This vote was to be counted first and If the re- suit should be against taking the poll, the ballots on the main ques- ton were to be destroyed. un- opened.
 "The ballot on the question itself was, after some thought. limited to total repeal of the 18th amend ment. 1t read, Do you favor the adoption of the following resolu- ton: Resolved that the lawyers of Connecticut favor the repeal of the 18th amendment to the constitu- ton of the United States" This ballot was colored blue and was to be sealed in an envelope also col ored blue provided for the pur- pose.
 "The signature slips and both ballots, sealed in their respective envelopes, were to be enclosed In meiled to the secretary of the Wa terbury Bar association.
 "ln view of the expressed opinion of these members of the Bar that the Waterbury Bar association should not have attempted to take up the referendum, 1t may be wise to give a short history of the att tempts previously made to bring this question before the lawyers of the state.
 On the 11th day of May, 1928, the Waterbury Bar association at q meeting held for that purpose, unanimously adopted a resolution recommending the repeal of the 18th amendment of the Constitil- ton of the United Staets, the Volstoad act and all orders and regulations for the enforcement thereof and the subject of prohl- bitlon be left to the several states. It was further voted that the reso- lution be prcsened at the annual meeting of the state Bar associa- ton for passage. This resolution was similar in form and substance to that adopted by the Bar associa- tions of Philadelphia, New York county and others in various parts of the United states.
 This resolution, somewhat modified, was duly presented to the State Bar association at its annual meeting held at Hartford. January, 1929. Objection was made to even considering the resolution. a point of order was raised on the ground that the subject was not within the purview of the association. The point was overruled by the presiding officer. A motion to in- definitely postpone was then or fered and defeated. Thereupon, de-
