Epidemic Among Navy
Recruits Is Denied
Daniels Declares Reports of
Serious Illness at Training
Stations Are False

Washington, May 27.-The health Of
the navy is as good as could be ex-
pected. in view of tho rapid increase
of the force, Secretary Daniels said
to-day, when his attention was called
to reports of epidemics at several
training stations.
Surgeon General BREASTED made trips
recently to the Chicago and Newport
stations because of the prevalence Of
measles among new men, but he re-
ported that the situation was not seri-
Gus. At Chicago many recruits brought
from the South felt the cold weather
keenly during the first weeks Of April,
and as a result there was an increase
in general sickness. Since then quar-
tiers have been extended to afford bet
ter protection for the men.
The Secretary said men were coming
into the navy so fast that it would be
difficult to accommodate them all until
the expansion of quarters and estsb-
lishment of new stations are COM
pleted. Provision will be made within
the next few weeks to care for 5000
additional men, and before August the
navy will have accommodations for
the entire 100000 needed, as we'll as
for all the reserves on duty. The pres
ent strength of the navy is approx
mately 10000.

inches in rows three feet apart. Drive
stout 5h-foot stake firmly in the
ground at each plant, one inch or so
from it. To these the plants are TO De
tied at the proper time with rama OF
strips of cloth.
When the plants have made sturdy
bushes about two feet high, begin to
prune them. Cut off all but three OF
the strongest branches, preferably
selecting these three from among those
starting nearest to the base Of the
original stalk. The idea in doing this
is to concentrate the plants energies
on fruit production rather than on leaf
and stem growth. After pruning tie
each plant to its stake.
From this time until September you
should 90 over the tomato patch once
week. Remove all the side shoots
which will develop at the base OF the
plants. These suckers" are quite use
Iess--in fact, they sap much Of the
strength which would otherwise be
thrown into the fruit.
Here are a few hints on cultivation
which you will do we'll to heed. Early
in the season work close to the young
plants with hoe or wheel hoe, keeping
the soil loose and free from weeds.
Later on, when the plants have nearly
reached the tops of their stakes, do not
cultivate closer than one foot from
them. Within that distance the soil
will then he filled with tiny roots, any
disturbance of which would be seri-
ously injurious.

Efficiency to Make Up
Lack of Labor on Farms

Washington. May 27.-"Agricultursl
efficiency in the use Of farm machinery.
in a considerable measure a matter Of
efficiency in the use OF fars machinery.
Man labor is scarce, and the lack must
be made up largely by better utiliza-
ton Of men. horses and tractors now
on farms"
This statement vas made to-day by
Or. w. J. Spillman, head of the Office
of foreign management Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who is in charge
of the mobilization Of farm labor
throughout the country.
There are three ways in which
farmers can improve on traditional
methods of using labor" continued DR..
Spillman, "by increasing the size of
teams, BY increasing the area covered
per man and per team by using larger
implements, and by increasing the size
of fields.
ITO increase horsepower per man
the farmer may drive a three-horse
team where before he drove but two
horses, or even a four or five horse
team. In the case of larger and more
powerful farm implements, for ex-
ample, one man with a two-row cultivs-
tor can cultivate twice the crop per
day that the man with a onerow culti-
vator can. In general, the larger size
costs but little more than the small one /;
in fact, the difference is usually so
small that one seasons saving in man
labor will often paw the excess in cost"
Or. Spillman to-day completed tenta-
tive plans for a farm labor mobiliza-
ton covering every state in the
country.

Big Tax on Idle Lands
Planned to Increase
Production Of Food
Great Tracts Held for Specula-
tion-Lane Reported in
Favor Of Measure
From Tho Tribune Bureau

Washington, May 27.-The Admins
tration will compel the cultivation or
utilization Of unused lands throughout
the country through a scheme OF heavy
taxation for idle lands, according to
the statement to-day of high official.
1t is said that Secretary Of the Interior
Lane favors such plan.
The movement to tax unused lands
has come to the fore as result OF the
tremendous protest now being raised
against the pending revenue bill.
Strong representations have been made
to the Administration that consump-
ton taxes of the kind and magnitude
now proposed in the revenue legislation
will not only prove fatal to the politi-
cal future Of the Democratic party, but
will place the entire country in an un-
desirable state of mind for the prose-
cution Of the war.
II is further pointed out that even
though the wealthy are heavily taxed
through the income tax increase, they
will still be in a preferred position COM
pared with the great working and con-
Stunning public, for they will have an
opportunity to invest in government
bonds, which will be free from taxation
and a certain investment.
AS an alternative to the consumption
tax, it is pointed cut that great tracts
OF land are being held out of use by
corporations and other private owners
in many cases for purely speculative
purposes These lands should be
brought into use or most heavily taxed
is the opinion of men prominent in Ad-
ministration circles.
In certain parts of the South, &C
cording to officials of the Department
of Agriculture, large land owners de-
liberately prevent the working Of idle
tracts in order to keep their tenants
and employees in condition of sub
serviency.
There will be a conference of those
prominent in the unused land tax pro-
posal here Monday, after which it is
intimated the Administration will an
nounce its policy in the matter.

Hoover to Enlist Housewives
In Campaign to Conserve Food
Women To Be Instructed So We Can Eat Wisely and
Without interchangeable To Be Used to Save
Staples More Easily Kept

Washington, Nav Establishment Of
the country's housewives into the ser
vices Of the food administrator to ac-
complsh conservation in the home is
one of the first tasks to be undertaken
by Herbert c. Hoover as food admins
traitor. The women will be recruited.
Mr.. Hoover announced to-day, through
the aid of state food councils. state Of
ficals, the Woman's National Defence
Council and civic associations.
at is the idea OF the food admins
tration," said Mr.. Hoover to-day, ITO
ask every woman who presides over q
household TO come in as an actual
member Of the food administration, to
be thus entitled to the badge of the
administration and to sign a written
pledge to carry out the advice and in
struction of the food administration
as far as her circumstances permit.
at is proposed to divide this vast
army into states and direct its activi-
ties through the state organizations
and state officials. Advice and instruc-
ton of a national character will be
added TO those Of the state and local
organizations. -,
down to each individual member from
time to time. 1t is proposed that such
advice and instruction should be d.
rect and absolutely specific and to be
embraced in the following general
lines. all based on the fact that we
can eat plenty if we eat wisely and
without waste:
elimination Of Waste.-Out OF our
abundance have come many careless
customs that must be curbed or
changed. We must learn TO initiate the
race thrift of the housewife Of France,
who has so ably seconded the soldier
members Of her family by home saw,
ings. The gospel of the clean plate and
of individual service of the same must
become universal.
ubstitutions.-Local products must
he used instead of those from further
afeld to save transportation and to en-
courage local production. During the
summer season a large proportion OF
vegetables should be used in order TO
save those staples which are most easily
kept. The use of staples with which we
are familiar, such as cornbread, SHOULD
be encouraged TO save those which our
Allies need.
Educational Advice.-A comprehen-
