SPIKE THROWN INTO
NEW JUNKING PLAN
Assert Paris Proposal Would Entirely
Upset Whole Scheme of 5-5-3
Naval Reduction.
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.

LINING AND HEATING CARS TO
PROTECT POTATOES IN WINTER

False floor stringers correctly built in box car for protection of potatoes
from cold. 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. '
