It's published in two editions, Eastern and Western, at $5.95 each. Each includes maps, a list of fees, and details of facilities in the campgrounds. SOME CONNECTICUT FARMS WILL OPEN THEIR GATES to visitors for the 12th Annual Farm Tour July 11-12, sponsored by the Connecticut Farm Bureau Association Inc.

AIR CANADA IS TESTING OUT NO-SMOKING FLIGHTS linking New York/Newark-Toronto and New York-Montreal during a three-month trial program. A survey indicated that 83 percent of the passengers on those shorter flights were nonsmokers and that an even larger percentage preferred that smoking be prohibited. Air Canada already has no-smoking flights on some of its Canadian routes.
