Maryhill next day.
There for the first time they make
connections with the Columbia River
highway. Machines will whiz them
over the ten miles of hard roads to
Goldendale. Later they will cross the
river on the ferry Governor West,
which was donated by Samuel Hill.
From Biggs, Or, other automoDiies
will whiz them another ten miles to
Wasco. Samuel Hill, John B. Yeon,
A. Benson and other public-spirited
"highwaymen" will take an active part
in the celebration from that point on.
The formal opening exercises will
be at Cello the 5th. The big celebra-
ton will be held at The Dalles all day
and most of the night. On the 9th
Vancouver will be reached and at z p.
m. on the same afternoon the fleet is
scheduled to make Portland.
Some Noise
The ships and docks are to be dec
Grated for the occasion. When the
boats come into sight everything with
a whistle on it will tie the same down.
The good ship Boston is to fire sa-
lutes. All patriotic citizens are urged
to make a noise. If you haven't a
whistle yell. If you are dumb rap on
a box with stick. Two in the after
noon is the time.
Leaving the city in the happy pos
session of the earache, the fleet will
proceed on its way and reach Kalama,
Wash, at IL o'clock the morning OF
the 7th. All the Cowlitz river cities
will join in the celebration there. The
last stop will be Astoria, which will be
sighted about o'clock Friday after
noon. Astoria is to have special
steamer in the line. At the end OF
the trip the Columbia and Snake river
waterways association will join in the
general festivities.
They do say that since Astoria is
the end of the itinerary, that it has
determined to throw all the other cele-
brations into the deep shadow. Time
must say as to that.

GROWING TOMATOES
UNDER IRRIGATION
County Agriculturalist Lee M.
Lampson Tells How to Cope
With Blight Problem

Upon taking up the agricultural
work in Benton county, it was found
that few were trying to grow toma-
toes because of blight. Most of the
farmers had quit trying to grow toma-
toes because Of so many successive
failures.
In taking up this problem, very
large number Of farmers were visited
where tomato growing had been a
failure. A detailed study was made.
It was learned what crops the ground
had produced a few previous years;
just how the ground was prepared;
low it was fertilized; how the seeds
or plants were put in; and in detail
just how the crop was irrigated.
Then the few farms where tomatoes
were being grown successfully, were
visited and the same detailed study
was made. This information was then
sifted down to a few points which are
essential in order to prevent blight
and which, if overlooked are nearly
sure to induce blight.
The three following conditions
seem to be essential:
I The ground should be very fer
tile.
B. The ground should be shaded.
3.-The surface of the ground
should be kept moist continually.
There are several different ways
the first two conditions can be Sc
cured. The necessary fertility is us
ually secured by the use of n-yard
manure or by selecting and blowing
up old alfalfa, clover or vetch ground
or ground that has grown any other
leguminous crop.
The ground is usually kept shaded
by planting or seeding the tomatoes
very thick and then thinning down
some as the vines become matted, or
by planting a row of corn or carrots
close by the side of each row Of to-
matoes, then gradually pulling the
corn or carrots out as the vines spread
so they will shade the ground. There
are, of course, other ways the ground
may be shaded. The aforementioned
ways are the ones that have been
tried out in number of places.
The surface of the ground can be
kept wet only by frequent watering
unless the ground subs to the surface.

Lack Naval Engineers

One of the very serious problems.
to which the naval authorities must
give their attention and which may
come up for discussion in connection
with naval personnel legislation. Is
created by the dearth of naval engi-
neers and the prospect of a more diff
ficult situation with which the Navy
Department must cope on account of
the lack of these specialists for duty
afloat and ashore.
The amalgamation of the old engi-
neer corps with the line, while not
altogether responsible for the present
situation. is recognized as having pro-
be identified. The Navy Department
since the abolition of the engineer
corps. has failed to detail officers for
engineering duty in a way to insure
the services of officers with this par
ticular. training.
The former engineer officers who
were required to qualify for line
duties are gradually becoming ineli-
gible for engineering duty afloat.
The younger line officers have not
been afforded the opportunity of ac-
quiring the full professional knowl-
edge which entities them to be re-
garded as qualified for engineering
duty. strictly speaking. 1nasrhuch as
this is a period of specialists. and in
view Of the fact that naval engineer
ing has attained proportions and COM
plications that call for individually
concentrated duty. it has been OBJ
served that there Is an inconsistency
produced by the conditions.

Aviation Personnel

It Is expected that there Will be some
interesting reports made to the House
and Senate military committees regard
ing the progress in army aviation and In
explanation OF the increased estimate
for the development of that branch of
the signal corps. The officials are pre-
pared to answer the questions regarding
the performances abroad and the achieve
ments at home. the latter being most
creditable, DESPITE the criticism which
has come from preJudiced sources.
II will be necessary. undoubtedly, to
amend the existing law so that there
may be rendered available a trained
personnel. a sequel which is somewhat
hampered by the restriction imposed by
statute which has placed a limit Of age
and grade upon aviators and. in addi-
ton. has specified that only unmarried
officers may be detailed TO that service.
There is nothing, however. in The law
to prevent an officer, once he Is detailed
and performing aviation duty. from be-
ing married, SO that that phase OF the
law does not amount TO anything. 1t
Is also found that many officers who are
beyond the age limit are desirous of the
detail and are competent to perform the

The Navy Dirigible

Numerous delays have occurred In the
construction in Connecticut Of the diri-
gible balloon under contract for the navy,
but these were not unexpected. In view
Of the fact that this is the first Of this
type OF air craft of any size to be con-
structed In this country and our expert
ence in solving the difficult problems
involved Is limited.
In fact. that main purposes for the
navy in obtaining the dirigible are for
experiment and for training personnel,
as the machine Is small as compared with
the dirigibles In use and under construc-
ton In Europe. The contract called for
delivery by September % last, but now II
Is only ready for assembly. The contrac-
tor has secured from the Navy Depart
nient permission to use a shed at the
navy yard. Portsmouth. N. H., for the
purpose Of setting up the dirig!ble. and
assembly Of the parts at that place will
commence shortly.
1t is not expected that the machine will
be ready to be sent to the naval aviation
station at Pensacola, Fla, before next
March or April. and. Of course. the parts
will have to be dissembled for that pur-
pose. Moreover. there are no accommo-
dations at present for It at that place.
and, therefore. there is no reason for
haste In getting it there. A sheet-metal
shed on a steel barge is being construct
ed at Pittsburgh for accommodation OF
the dirigible, and IL Is expected that II
will have been completed and sent to
Pensacola by the time the dirigible is
ready to be sent there. The barge will
be fioated down the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers en- route to its destination.

Size of Sub Boats

The naval authorities are giving their
attention to the problem Of the size OF
the submarines. and the naval general
board is in receipt Of the views Of the
officers attached to the submarine hotilla.
The consensus of that opinion appears to
be in favor of a type Of not less than 500
tons displacement
1t Is pointed out that there are now "
boats, built, building. and authorized al
the present time which cannot be con-
sidered In any sense as seagoing subma-
rines; they are believed. however. to be
sufficient in number for harbor and coast
defense. Three fleet submarines have
been authorized. but the construction In
that direction Is retarded. 1t Is held that
the construction of very large subma-
rines must be considered in the nature OF
an experiment. and that for the present
the three fleet submarines authorized
should be regarded as sufficient Tor the
purpose OF experiment.
Attention Is called to the fact that the
X. L and boats are not capable of
keeping to sea longer than ten days or
two weeks in an emergency. as compared
with the S0O-ton submarines that can
keep to the sea for y days, as shown by
the German boats in the North Sea. Be
sides, the s0o-ton boat possesses such ad-
vantage as an increased number of tor
pedoes and larger ammunition stowage.
greater seaworthiness. more submerged
radius. and. of most Importance. habit
ability.
The advantage of endurance in the case
of the so0-ton boat is also illustrated by
the fact that. operating 800 miles from the
coast the S0-ton boat will be able to
spend Il DAYS on the operating ground as
against days of the k-boat: operating
500 miles from the coast, the larger boat
will have "A days on the operating ground
as against days of the K-boat: operat-
ing LEO miles from the coast, the s0o-ton
boat will have 10 days on the operating
ground. while the K-boat will have but l
day-both boats cruising at 10 knots or
40 knots a day.
When to this is added the cost OF up
keep. additional officers and larger crews.
required by the K-boats over the equiva-
lent number OF s9O-ton boats, II is urged
that there is no Justification for the pref
erence for mere numbers of small boats
for economical reasons. to say nothing of
the loss from n strategical and tactical
point of view. II has been recommends d
from the submarine ffotilla. therefore.
that special consideration be given by the
Navy Department to this demand for SOC
ton submarines.
