DANIELS Wants
new ARMOR BIDS
Naval Secretary Insists that
Steel Companies Make
Competitive Offers.
TIME LIMIT TUESDAY
Failure to Comply May Result in
Purchases Going
Abroad.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels yes
terday issued an ultimatum TO the
Carnegie, Bethlehem, and Midvale
steel companies informing them that
he would give them until Tuesday to
submit new bids for the armor plate
contracts for the new battleship No.
80. The Secretary will reject all these
bids, as he did the ones first submitted.
unless he is satisfied that they were
formulated on a competitive basis and
reasonable in figure.
Mr.. Daniels is exceedingly anxious
to get the armor plate contracts dis
posed OF. as building operations on the
battleship already have been COM
menced at the New York Navy Yard.
The Secretary said yesterday he would
not object to the successful bidder sub
letting a portion Of the contract to
other manufacturing firms, II he is con-
WINGED that there has been competition
among the armor plate makers. and IL
he is convinced that the price of the
lowest bidder is more reasonable than
he has considered the previous prices
to be.
Competition Is Asked.
Secretary Daniels holds that the chief
object to be attained in connection with
the armor-plate contracts is the estab-
lshment of competition among the three
steel firms which are the only ones in
the United States competent TO make
armOr plate. He has denounced their sys-
tenn Of bidding as a "hold-up, and on
that ground rejected the first set of bids
they submitted. He invited them to dem
onstrate to him that their bids were based
on cost Of production, with allowance for
a fair profit but REJECTED this information
without examination because the steel
that 81 must be regarded
as confidential.
II the three steel firms do not sCcede
to Mr.. Daniels demands, It is likely that
he will have to purchase the armor
abroad. II so. it will cost him more than
II he purchased from the American firms
at even their original prices.
All shipbullders in the United States
together with the shipbuilding navy
yards. yesterday were invited by SeCre-
tary Daniels to submit bids for the con-
struction OF a supply ship and a trans
port for the Navy authorized by Con-
Cress last winter. Designs for these
vessels have been made by the Bureau Of
Construction and Repair and Steam En-
Gineerng.
The transport will have a speed OF Il
knots and quarters for 200 men. Cargo
holds will be provided for the trans
portation Of large amounts of equip
ment. such as would he needed in estah-
fishing an advanced eXpeditiOnary base.
Il will burn either coal or oil, and will
carry eight five-inch guns. The supply
ship will be fitted with refrigeration
apparatus and storage spaces for carry
ing all sorts of food and other supplies
for a division of eight battleships. 1t
also will have facilities for aiding dis
abled vessels at sea.

PRODUCTION OF coMB-HoNEY
One o. Fundamental Requirements Of
Equipment In Hives Is That

CBy GEORGE s. DEMUrH)


A beehive must serve the dual pur-
pose Of being a home for colony OF
bees and at the same time a tool for
the beekeeper. Its main require
ments are along the line OF its
adaptation TO the various manlpula-
tions OF the apinry in 30 far as these
do not materially interfere with the
protection and comfort It affords the
colony of bees. Since rapid manipu-
lation is greatly facilitated by simple
and uniform apparatus one OF the
fundamental requirements OF the
equipment in hives Is that they be OF
the same style and size, with all parts
exactly alike and interchangeable
throughout the apiary. While the
hives and equipment should he az

tions. a cheap and poorly constructed

TO PREVENT CORN DISEASE
Only Way to Control Smut Is to De-
stroy Balls and Avoid Use Of
Fresh Manure.
az .. N. FRENMANl

Every farmer is familiar with corn
smut. The largest masses are some
times over six inches in diameter and
are usually found IN the ear. Smut
is also found in the tassel. on the
leaves and stem. and even on the
roots which hold the corn plant to the
soil The smutmass Is blackish, and
is at first covered by a whitish film.
which soon breaks and let's loose the
spore-powder, which is blown about
by the wind In general, there are two
ways by which the epores get back
on the land. ready to infest the next
years crop. First. they may be scat
tered by the wind. or the smutmasses
may be left on the field. Second. the
smut-dust may get into the fodder
and may pass through the alimentary
canals Of the cattle. without being in
jured. and may thus get into the ma
nure pile. Or. again. the smut-masses
may be thrown into the refuse or
manure pile. In either case they may
be carried back to the soil when the
latter is manured Now. 1t is an i'm
portant fact that the smut spores not
only may live through the winter in
the manure pile, but they may act
ually increase IN number by growth
when the pile remains OF proper tenn
perature. Fresh manure containing
smut is therefore very likely to in
crease smut in a corn field The
smut may live for several years in a
manure pile. but will gradually die
out. For this reason. old manure is
much better for fertilizer on a corn
field than fresh manure
In the spring the spores germinate,
producing long chains Of new spores,
which are blown about in the wind
and infest any growing part of the
/ corn plant; producing. finally. smut
balls. The spores may live In the
soil OF in manure piles for yeats.
This. Of course. makes seed treatment
useless; and the only way to con-
troll the smut is to destroy all smut
balls. when possible. to prevent them
