TIln1011 Refers
to Ad01'l. Fiske
as Disappointed
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, May 4.-Rear Admit
raj Bradley A. Fiske's letter to the
senate taking issue with Secretary
Daniels for the latter's statement
that he had never been furnished a
copy of Admiral Fishes letter warn
ing the department of the unprepar-
ed state of the navy in 1914, was
made public today by Chairman Till
man of the naval committee.
"The secretary Of the navy has
nothing to conceal and courts an in
vestigation, if one is demanded"
said Senator 1Tifman, in submitting
the letter. Neither he nor his
friends here like this kind Of sniping
or guerilla warfare. Therefore
content myself with asking that
Fiske's letter to the vice president
be published in the record, so that all
may judge how little there really Is
to his utterances except malice and
wounded vanity. Disappointed anbi-
ton, too, has had much to do with
his conduct. He has broodcd over
what he supposes to be his wrongs
until he seems to be obscessed, and
really feel sorry for him."

Department of Agriculture To
Send Out Egg Demonstration Car

A movement is on foot to send an egg
car, from the Department of Agriculture,
into Florida in order to aid poultry and
egg handlers to pack and ship their prod
uct to distant points.
The demonstration car is to be a com
plete refrigerator plant on wheels, with
its own gasoline engine for operating the
refrigerating blowers.
One object of the cars tours is to show
buyers and shippers how to handle eggs
by commercial standards so that they can
be bought on the basis of quality and an
enormous waste and loss avoided.
The car is in charge of government
specialists, who show all interested
exactly how to distinguish between
fresh eggs, stale" eggs and cheat
ed" eggs, Chickering'S, white rots'
and BLACK rots" The demonstration
in detecting white rots" is regarded
as especially important, as these fire.
quently are confused with fresh eggs.
Grading by size and condition of shell
also is demonstrated. The Importance
Of preceding the eggs before they
are packed and shipped in an ordinary
refrigerator car is emphasized In the
demonstration car, eggs can be
brought down to a proper temperature
for shipping in twenty-four hours; if
not thus cooled they would require
four or five days to reach this low tenn
perature in a refrigerator car.
Proper methods of using filters and
fats and packing eggs in cases also are
demonstrated and, by the aid of
models shippers and railroad men are
shown methods of slowing cases in
cars SO as to minimize damage in
transit
No doubt the egg car will serve its pur-
pose we'll and the lectures and demonstra-
tons will be of value to the farmers, but
the question arises, if the United States
government finds it necessary to make
these demonstrations with a refrigerated
car, will these lectures serve the purpose in.

the lectures are given can afford refrigera-

serum amounted to ia. To accom-
plish all this work it was necessary
to travel 759 miles in an automo-
bile.
As a supplement to this report an
other statement was rendered regard
ing a development which has just
recently begun to take place in this
section of the state, which deals en-
tirely with dipping watts.
In rendering his report on the mat
ter of watts the demonstration agent
says that one cattle vat and two hog
vats have been built in the county in
the month just past. 1t is in this
line that the county has shown most
development, a development which
was long in coming, but now that it
is here bids fair to sweep the coun-
ty, more and more watts are being
built every day and so far the re-
suits are said to be all that could be
expected.
In concluding his report the state
ment is made that the dipping vat
at Myrtle Grove was formally turned
over to the Crop Improvement As
ISOLATION on April 5, and that on the
oath of April SO head of dairy cattle
were dipped.
That awakened interest in the well
fare Of the cattle and as a result the
betterment of conditions Is the sign
Of the development that has taken
place not only in April but in all the
time that the work had gone on.

BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 4.-Federaliza-
ton of the national guard as propos-
ed by the house, was tentatively
agreed upon today By The house and
senate conference on the army bill.
The house provision would create
militia reserve Of approximately
100000, whereas the senate provis-
ions would provide for only 250,00O.
It is expected that the senate
amendment requiring all militiamen
to take the oath to obey the presi-
dent of the United States, as well as
the states, viii be accepted by the
conferees. The conferees struck a
deadlock today when the senate pro-
posal of a federal volunteer force of
100000 was reached The matter
was finally passed over without &C
tion. 1t is said tonight that the
senate would not yield on this point

MONTHLY REPORT
Of DEM0NSTRAT0R
SHOWS GRAPHICALLY THE EX-
TENsIyE AND GROWING WORK
OF HIS OFFICE.

In his monthly report rendered the
department of agriculture for April,
S. w. Hiatt, agent farm demonstra-
ton work, shows graphically the ex-
tensive and growing work of his Of
flee.
The whole reason is shown in
brief line, which says that 'eMore
general interest has been displayed
at meetings held this month than at
any time previous" It is in this COM
ment that Mr.. Hiatttouches the heart
of the many activities and shows the
reason which makes possible the
work.
The report further shows that
there are enlisted in this county rs
demonstrations which means a large
organization of men who help in the
work of teaching the farmer and
offer smaller body for mutual as
sistance.
One item notes the fact that In
Escambia county there are forty
corn club boys. That seems a small
matter when viewed in the light Of
statistics, but when the value Of the
work of these clubs is realized only
then can a correct impression of their
worth to the county be estimated.
The work of these clubs has been
demonstrated and the success Of them
in other states is too well known to
need comment, and the fact that Es-
Gambia county has made start in
this direction speaks volumes for its
growth.
And then the great amount Of per-
sonal work of the demonstration in
making the visits and stimulating in
terest in the clubs, and the work gem
orally, he reports that he visited 80
demonstrators, 81 corn club boys and
80 farmers, besides personal confer
ences at other times amounting to go
farmers.
To carry on this work successfully
the actual labor must be supplement-
ed by bulletins which tell the latest
developments before the demonstra-
tor can make the rounds himself. In
carrying on this publicity campaign
he states that he distributed 120
circulars and AZ letters.
In several items the work IS shown
to be not entirely one Of organiza-
ton and teaching but giving actual
examples of the practice. Particular
ly along this line comes the scientific
treatment of animals, which relates
that two mules were treated, 70 hogs
and hogs inoculated with hog cholera

CENSUS OF 1916 LUMBER

The census OF the lumber produc-
of the country for the year 1915 will
be undertaken by the Forest Service

ber Manufacturers association. The
information obtained by this work, II

II is estimated by the Forest Ser
vice that there are more than 10000
sawmills in the country and II is
planned to have the investigation
reach every sawmill in operation. Each
of these will be asked to make a de-
tailed report of its production. In
formation is sought as to the total
quantity of each kind Of wood sawed
the number of lath and shingles manu-
factured and the average mill value
for each species. Printed schedules
designed for use In different regions
