Tho BrltlBh spokesman, in discuss ing tho Hubmarlno tonnago question, doclared unless an agreement was reached on that phaso of tlio quostlon, all that had boon accomplished to ward naval limitation might bo upsot. Ho rocallod that agroomont roached by tho Unltod States, Groat Britain and Japan In regard to tho naval ratio of capital ships was conditioned upqn a satisfactory supplementary agrooment In regard to tho French and Italian naval ratio, which, ho said, do far has not boon had. It was oxpoctod that tho session would bo hold Thursday. Lord, Lee, it was understood, as head of tho British admiralty would present tho British caao in a carefully prepared statement dealing largely with tech nical features. Arthur J.

Buffalo, N. Y. A 95-mllo an hour galo swept this city, uprooting trees, tearing down chimneys, smashing plate glasB windows and piling up tho water In tho harbor to an unprece dented stago. One man was killed. Tho damago throoughout tho city was great, but heaviest losses oc curred along tho water front, whore a 300-foot wireless tower was demol ished, boathouses and small docks wore swept away and several hundred pleasure craft wero smashed or car ried down tho rivor. The property loss will run into hun dreds of thousands of dollars. A window hatch torn from a busi ness block fell on nn automobile, killing F. E. Kelfer and Injuring an other occupaut seriously. Tho batch pinned Klefor to tho seat. The auto mobile, with both occupants uncon scious, ran a block before It swerved and crashed Into a storo. Two women woro caught under a falling tree. One sustained both legs broken. Tho other was internally in jured and flromon had to cut away part of tho tree trunk before she could bo released. Tho wind, blowing from tho south west dlroctly down Lake Erie, piled up water until Bird Island pier nnd Squaw Island wero nearly submerged. Nearly 100 squatters' shanties woro carried out Into Nlayrara river. Tho occupants wero rescued. Throo ferry boats were piled updn tho rocks between tho river and tho canal. At Tonawanda the water rose eight feet above normal, flooding tho largo lumber yards thoro and carrying thou sands of feet of timber into tho river nnd over Niagara falls. Soldom has such a volume of water poured over tho Nlngara cataract. Tho wators of Lake Erlo crowded into tho Nlogara rivor, causing a swirling flood whoro usually thcro are only a fow Inches. Such a flood poured over tho prociplco that tho' pier of tho Maid of tho Mist was submerged. Many IslandB just above the falls woro submorgod for tho first time in years. Groat property damago was dono on tho uppor river to riverside boathouses and motor boats.

Washington, D. .C Tho French del egation hnB presented a proposal for so groat an lncroaso In tho strength of tho French navy that tho British . doclaro such a program, it carried out, would upsot tho whole plan 'or a G-5-3 naval reduction. Although not yet entlroly rovcalcd, the British understand thnt tho Fronch provision provides for tho con struction of 10 35,000-ton ouperdrcad naughts in tho 10 yoars subsequent to 1925. Those vessels, of a typo simi lar to tho American battleship Mary land, would glvo Franco a capital ship tonnago of 350,000, as against . 310,000 for Japan and a preponder ance of now "post-Jutland" typo craft over all nations. Italy, although indicating disap proval of such a building program, Is said to havo told tho arms confer ence that it Franco constructs 10 ships, Bho must carry out a similar program. Tho combined French and Italian fleets thus would bo some 200,000 tons stronger than the British or tho American allotments undor tho re vised figures agreed on by tho big three. Tho question of Fronch and Italian naval ratios, as compared wltb tho 5-1 5-3 standings assigned to tho TJnltcd States, Great Britain and Japan un der nn agreement previously roachod, was taken up by the sub-committee of 15. Tho Brtlsh spokesman said that tho French proposals, If acceded to, would "throw out tho wholo naval program." 116 declared It had met with dlstlict disapproval from tho British delega tion. Tho British spokesman further de clared that Italy did not approvo of tho Fronch proposition, for If It was caroled out Italy Would bo obliged to build In tho samo amount. This meant, ho said, an addition of 700, 000 tons to tho European war fleets, and both Franco and Italy would spend ?500,000,000 In the 10-year per iod beginning in 1925. Tho American delegates, tho British spokesman said, also had taken a strong stand against tho Fronch prop osition, first objecting for economic reasons. Officials Face Manslaughter Charge.

Circulation is not blocked, as would be the case If string ers were run across the car Instead of lengthwise. (Prepared by the Unlled States Department of Agriculture.) Warm air weighs less than cool air ilnd here lies the bnslc principle of properly heating box cars In winter to protect potato shipments ngalnst frosts thnt nip Into the farmer's prof Its ns well as Into the potatoes. Next to providing heat, the matter of get ting If to circulate so thnt It reaches practically nil the potatoes In the car Is of greatest lmportnnce. j The directions for prepnrlifg a box car for potato shipments given here with are In nccord with recommenda tions of the United States Department of Agriculture, and apply to winter shipments of sweet potatoes destined for northern points, as well as to Uie white variety. Suitable Lining Is Important. A stove will warm enough air to protect a car of potatoes from freez ing even in severe weather, providing the car lining Is built and kept In such n condition that the warm air can get down to the floor and sides where It is needed. To accomplish this a com plete air passage must be formed en tirely around the load. When potatoes are loaded In bulk, It Is necessary to construct what are In effect two bins, one on either side of Uie central area where the stove Is placed, If the shipment Is likely to pass through severe weather. In ninny Instances, of course, It Is en tirely safe to" ship without artificial heat In the car. Before constructing the Dins, the walls and celling of the car Itself must be covered with building paper. Fol lowing this a false floor Is laid on supports running lengthwise, thereby creating nlr channels four to six Inches deep, extending beneath tho false floor from the center of the car to either end where they connect with vertical air passages formed by false walls built four to six Inches from the car ends. Likewise, false walls are built a few Inches from the sides and a false door Is erected nt one side for a stovepipe to go through. Bulkheads are ,put across the car at either side of the door to form a well for the stove. These walls, as well as the center bulkheads, rise well toward the celling. The bins are lined with paper, the same as the car walls. The false floor supports permit the cool air to settle below the false floor and to move toward the base of the tove, where It rises as It Is heated and circulates toward-tha ends of the car, between the load and the celling. A rough estimate of tho lumber and paper required to line nn 8 by 8 hy 30-foot car, with doors 5 feet wide, Is as follows: IS pieces 2 by 4 Inches by 14 feet. 8 pieces 2 by 6 Inches by 16 feot. 1,300 square feet of 1-Inch lumbr, 10 feet 2,250 square feet of building paper. The 13 2-by-4's should be sawed In half, making 20 pieces 7 feet long. Sir Inches should be sawed off tho length of euch of the eight 2-by-0 pieces. Enough of the 10-foot boards should be sawed Into 8-foot lengths to mnko a total width of' 57 feet of 8-foot boards nnd other of these boards sawed into 0-foot lengths to 'make n total width of 4 feet. This will leave a few 4-foot lengths. One foot should be sawed off the remaining 10-foot boards, leaving them 15 feet long. This lumber Is all that Is required by nn experienced loader to complete ly equltf n car with false wnlls and bulkheads. Detailed directions for putting up the lining, easily under stood, are contained In Farmers' Bul letin 1091 Issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The shipper Is cnutloned not to load potatoes so closo to the celling thnt they block circulation. There must ho a large unobstructed opening for the wnrm air to pass down to the floor after It has spread the length of the celling from the neater. Tho clrcu latlon Is slow and labored, and to limit It hy piling the sacks so that they ex tend beyond the false walls causes serious Interference. In placing pota toes In sacks on the fnlso floor next to the walls care should bo tnken to set them a few Inches from these par titions, since they are, In the region where tho frost first becomes effective If (he car Is not properly heated. Lined Cars Returned to Shippers. It Is recognized that preparation tf tho car In the manner Indicated in volves a considerable Initial expense. UMiully, however, shippers plan to use both tho stove and the lumber for re-pi-ated shipments. In Maine cars nre equipped substantially In tho wny do irrlhert and used by shippers repented lj, the cars being returned to tho viu W.-. ..&' starting points free of charge to tin shipper. The general rule west of the Missis sippi Is to permit the return of lining; and stoves by freight freo of charge In other regions the regular freight rate usunlly Is charged. Efforts ar being made" to havo nn arrangement similar to thnt existing In Maine, np pllcnhle throughout the country, nnd where the enr lining and stove are r moved It has been jtecommended that the railroads return them to the ship per at one-half fourth-class rate. DISEASED CONDITION OF SEED SWEET CORN Much Damage Done by Ear Worm and Rot Molds. Growers Urged to Exercise Greatest Care to Insure Quality of Next Year's Supply Test Wit! Rag-Doll Germlnator. Because of the damago which hns been done to fcweet corn throughout the Middle West this season by the enr worm, followed by root nnd ear rot molds, corn growers nre urged by tho United States Department of Agriculture to exercise every possible care to Insure flie quality of their seed for next year's crop. These molds have In many cases rendered a considerable percentage of tho ears wholly unfit for any purpose. Other cars, but partly overrun with molds, nre unfit for seed but should bo ued for feed only after the moldy part of the ear Is shelled off. This applies especially to the corn which has been grown for sepd. In certain fields in the corn belt tho damage has been so great that the corn was rendered unfit for harvesting .as seed, practically no ears being found which were not In jured. These observntions and reports to the department are all based on the evident and conspicuous defects thnt have been found In sweet corn antl dent varieties. It is known, more over, that many of the apparently good enrs In these damaged fields are diseased and unless special precau tions nre tnken, for example testing with the rag-doll germlnator, they may pass as good seed corn. ' During the pnst three years It has been found that much of the sweet corn seed which has been purchased In the open market has been badly In fected with mold, and ear-rot organ isms. The qunllty of seed obtainable for use next spslng depends, then, upon how the seed grown Inst xyear has been cared for, and upon the at tention given the selection of seed from this senson's crop. INCREASE OF HES?IAN FLY Parasitic Enemies and Unfavorable Weather Tend to Keep Pest With- in Bounds. If It were not for Its parasitic enemies and unfavorable weather, the Hessian fly would Increase in such vast numbers that wheat growing In this country would be practically Im possible Inside of two years. The United States Department of Agricul ture, , as u result of recent studies, now published in Department Bulletin -1008, Kate of Multiplication of the Hessian Fly, by W. R. McConnell, found that the Increase In breeding of the lnsect was much higher than had been beforo realized. Tho data collected afford an explanation for the very sudden development of a Hessian fly outbreak and furnlEh .n basis for pre dieting more accurately the approach, of a dangerous Infestation. TOO MANY POULTRY LOAFERS- Best Plan to Weed Out Nonproducei and Keep Only Good Laying and Breeding Fowls. One reason some folks complain that "chickens don't pay" Is because they compel one or two good hens to sup port u dozen lnzy ones. There uro some deadbenls in every flock, just ns there are also some excellent laylng nnd breeding hens.' The thing to do Is always to weed out tho leufal de&lrnble fowls, then keep only the best ones nnd keep them well In a good house, well managed and cared for. ' 1 .1 Y r - -4. ' -
