Just before it adjourned its 28th nnual session in New London Thurs- | day afternoon at 4.30, the Connecticut tate grange, Patrons of Husbandry, went on record as beins opposed to the law prohibitine the shooting of deer. The convention passed a resolation directing its legislative and executive committees to work for the repeal of the closed season law on deer. An act of the legislature provides that no deer shall be shot, unless in preventing its destroying crops or fruit irees, until June 1, 1917. This law has been’in force since July, 1802. In de- bating the resolution {n the stats srange speakers from northern and western sections of the state told of great damage that deer are causing, particularly to fruit trees, The grangers exppessed themsslyves as being in faver of a law by which deer could be kifled by the owner of premises apv time the animal was | found within his preperiy beundaries.

In view of the fact thaj e State Pomological society was doing all it could to encourage the planting and cultjvation of orchards, which are often Suined in night by the state- protecied deer, the advocates ol the parks urged that the present condi- tions presented a situation in which one branch of the state was working directly against the other. The state grange also registered a “the eation gF nearby centers. The receat formation of the Lebanon exchange and the talk of a Montville exchange were cited as ex The state grange took up the matter of protection against the slaughter of game birds and expressed itself in fa- vor of a law makin> - cl season of three or five years. At the same time the propagation of birds was urged. The selection of the meeting place for the 1918 convention was left to the executive committee. INSPECTED THERMOS PLANT.
