UNDESIRABLE PUBLICITY.
New Rule as to Giving Out News From
Naval Department

Washington, Nov. 24.-Secretary
Bonaparte has ordered that the an
nual reports of the navy bureau chiefs
which have not yet been made public
sNall be withheld until he has had an
opportunity to read them, possibly un-
til the appearance of his own report.
This order is the result of the pub
licity attending the remarks and rec
concentrations of Rear Admiral G. w.
Ras, engineer in chief of the navy,
on the subject of naval personnel.
The bureau chief went pretty thor
oughly into the question of the need
of navy engineers, and in the course
OF his comments remarked that the
navy was not in a position to win bat
ties. owing to the lack of trained en-
gineers and the failure of the navy de-
partment to provide engineer officers
for ships of war. This assertion has
attracted much attention, especially
abroad, and is considered to have been
an lnjudicious statement to make, ad-
mitting 1t to be true. There is no
subject which is approached more
gingerly on every hand by those In
authority than anything wNich has to
do with the naval personnel. and in
that general subject a comment upon
naval engineering is regarded as In
viting peril to the author.
Most naval officers believe that the
annual reports of bureau chiefs should
not be edited, and that the opinions
expressed In that quarter should not
be Influenced by higher authority un-
less It Is desired that the independ-
ence of chiefs shall be impaired. The
great trouble has been that the head
of the department has little time to
read annual reports and these docu-
ments have largely been ignored on
every hand. Hereafter there will be
greater care exercised in the perusal
of these reports lest there be some
thing in the comments of the bureau
chiefs which will embarrass the navy
'en7rtment in its plans for obtaining.
legislation. 1t Is desired also that
there shall be nothing In the reports
Which will attract much attention
abroad.

Professor George w. Shaw. the
wheat expert of the college of agricul-
ture of the University of California,
has issued an important bulletin re-
latlng to the wheat industry in Cali
fornia, The principal topics discussed
are smut and change of seed. The Sc
lection of seed is also treated at length
The bulletin, which has been compiled
after thorough Investigation, is in
part as follows:
There Is little doubt but that much
of the present condition of low yield
is due to the lack of attention to the
rational selection of first-class seed.
This fact is being constantly emphasiz-
ed by the inquiries made of the sta
ton as to the quantity of inferior seed
which should be used to make up
for its admitted deficiencies.
On account of the extreme con-
dtions which obtain in most parts of
the state with reference to seed-wheat
as a result of the damage from the
rust attack of 1905, it is deemed best
seem to have been quite thoroughly
demonstrated with reference to the
matter of seed wheat.
In regard to change of seed he says:
There is II very widespread belief
among grain growers that there is a
necessity for frequent change of seed
because of actual deterioration due to
a.
conditions.
This idea Is held to such an extent
as to be well nigh universal. Yet, the
most carefully conducted investiga-
tons, without a single exception, go
to show that not only is there no bene-
fit to be derived from the mere change
of seed, but that actual loss occurs,
except only when there is change to
better type of wheat, or toN more
vigorous grain OF the same type.
But this is not the main object
usually In the mind of the grower.
Farmers are continually changing
seed; the one having a stiff soil must
have seed from a sandy soil. and he
with sandy soil must buy seed from
a heavy soil. Then again, seed is fire.
quently brought long distances and
often from regions of very different
climatic conditions, with the hope that
some immediate increase will be OBJ
tained in the yield.
Such indiscriminate change of seed
is a most potent factor against proper
seed Improvement, and there will be
little hope of Improvement If one
must give up desirable strain every
few years for one grown on some one
else's land.

Prevention of Smut.

An examination of large number
of samples of California grown wheat
shows a deplorable lack of attention
to the prevention of smut. Farmers
doubtless do not realize the large loss
which occurs from this trouble. In
number Of cases the samples have
shown as high as 10 per cent OF smut
ted grains-an amount sufficient to
affect seriously the profit from the
crop. This is more to be deplored
since the methods which can be en-
ployed are both easy of application
and extremely effective.
