State Agricultural Department Hears
From Georgia Farmers.
From all indications Georgia will this
year make record as a wheat growing
state, that her people will be proud Of
For several weeks past information has
been coming 10 the agricultural depart
ment from almost every section of the
state going to show that the people
have determined to raise more wheat
than ever, and have planted accord
ingly.
Colonel R. +. Wright of the agricult.
ural department, in an interview In the
Macon Telegraph, says the whole state
is becoming stirred up on the subject Of
small grain crops, and that he attrib-
utes the increasing interest in this
branch of agriculture to the constant
and persistent efforts to show the farm.
ers the necessity of raising more wheat,
oats and other fall crops.
Articles urging the planting of more
wheat, which have from time to time
appeared in publications sent out from
the department of agriculture. have been
reprinted in many agricultural publica.
tions and some Of these publications
have been reprinted in agricultural
monthlies which have extensive circu.
lations in Georgia and adjoining states.
The increase in the acreage of wheat
and the fact that the farmers have So.
lected some of their best land for wheat
and oats this year. has a significance
which is Of interest at this time. II
points to the fact that as the acreage of
wheat has been increased ON lands here
tofore planted in cotton, the acreage OF
cotton will be decreased this year, cw.
ing to the fact that this very land is
growing wheat and oat crops, which in
many instances will not be gathered In
time for tho same land to be used FOR
cotton.
Should il happen that tho winter sea
SON should kill these crops, then these
lands will no doubt be plOwed mp and
put in cotton. But this is believed to
be hardly probable, As she indications
are at present and the chances are that
the state Of Georgia will gather an 90.
usually large crop Of wheat next spring.

OBJECT TO PLAN.
Powder Manufacturers Opposed to
the Making~o Of the Article by
the Government.

Uncle Sam is meeting with much op-
position from the powder manufac-
turers of this country in his effort to
secure an appropriation for powder
plant. The navy department will re-
quire $5OO,000 next year for powder.
Admiral O'Neill, chief of ordnance, be-
lieves it would be wise to appropriate
double that sum, but it is unlikely the
naval committee will agree to this.
There has been discussion whether
one appropriation should be made for
the purchase and another for the man
ufacture of the powder. The powder
makers are desirous of confning the
fund to the purchase Of this material,
instead of having it manufactured at a
government plant. Last year the pow
der makers tried to influence legisla-
ton which would prevent the govern
ment from making its own powder, and
the wild remonstrance which they
evoked from the naval ordnance bureau
was construed as a threat and led to a
protest to the secretary of the navy.
The secretary dismissed the case as
an unwarranted accusation. Admiral
O'Neill is anxious to establish a small.
plant at Indian Head, the product of
which would not interfere materially
with the output of private manufac-
turers, as the material turned out there
would be Of small quantity compared
with the amount OF powder bought of
private concerns.

DRIVES A GOOD BARGAIN.
Navy Department Sells a Tug for
Which 1t Had No Use to War
Department.,

The navy department has effected q
profitable transaction with the war
department and rid itself Of what was
to the navy useless ship. During t:le
war the government bought for $685.
600 large tug, owned hy Boston
concern which made the effort to
raise the Maine at Havana. The boat
was armored and equipped with a
one-pounder and used for the defense
OF Boston harbor at the urgent re-
quest of people in the neighborhood,
who were terror-stricken over the re-
ports of the approach of the enemy.
The tug, Of course, was Hsver used in
actual engagement, and with the ,end
OF the war it was found to be of little
service to the navy.
Recently board OF naval officers at
the Boston yard placed the value Of
the tug at $4,000 and recommended
that it be sold at auction. It seemed
to the naval officials that this was q
sacrifice, and they were CHAD to avail
themselves of the opportunity Of
transferring the boat to the war de-
partment, where it will be added to
the quartermaster's department,
The original cost of The tugg-$25,-
o0o-was also transferred to the army
account, SO that the naval records will
show the purchase and use OF tho
boat during the war at no expendi-
ture of money.

NEEDS MORE TERRITORY.
Present Size of Indian Head Provinx
Grounds Not Sumciena for the
Needs Of the Navy,

1t has been found necessary by the
navy department to buy long strip OF
land adjacent to the Indian Head prov
ing grounds on the Potomac. The own
ers of the land hold the place at an ex-
orbitant figure, and have refused to sell
for less than $4,000, while the naval au-
thorities have placed its actual worth at
$4,000, and Rear Admiral O'Neill, naval
chief of ordnance, has told the house
naval committee tha, $4,000 would be
a generous price to pay, especially as
the government does not really need
the land for any other purpose than to
satisfy the demands of the Maryland
farmers whose property is situated
near the proving grounds.
These neighbors are exceedingly nerv-
Gus over the gun tests which take place
almost daily. The present territory
owned by the government has been am
pie for the practical purposes of the
tests, but now<and then big shot has
gone astray and crossed the Potomac
river toward the Virginia side. But
such eccentricities are rare.
The land which it is now proposed 10
purchase will allow the territory nec-
essary for all the tests cond ucted by the
ordnance experts.
