IN BIG A|RP[ANE FLEET
Rear Admiral Peary Says 1000 Ma
chimes Could Curb Subma-
rine Menace.

Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, testl-
| flying before a subcommittee of the
Senate military affairs committee today.
declared that the airplane is the cheap
est and quickest answer to the subma-
rine. If 1000 airplanes were sent
abroad they would do more to curb the
submarine menace than anything else
that could be done. he asserted.
With the same concentration of eff
fort as Won Tirpitz exerted to develop
the submarine in Germany. 1 think we
will have an answer to the submarine
and quick decision of the war on the
| other side" he declared.
Rear Admiral Peary appeared before
the subcommittee in support Of bill
which has been introduced in both
houses of Congress to establish a de-
partment of aeronautics. the head of
which would be member of the presi-
dents cabinet

clared that the general opinion among

ing of brigades of from 500 to 1000

Work of British Air Fleet.
Lieut.. Col. L. W. B. Rees Of the Brit
ish Royal Flying Corps, was another wit
ness. He told of the work being accom-
plieshed by the airplane in Europe. He was
asked if any difficulty was being experi-
enced in enlisting aviators. He said there
Is little more difficulty now than for
merly.
Il think that England is getting nearer
the end of her man power" he explained.
Col. Rees said that the machines used by
the British flyers have always been su-
pertor to those used by the Germans.
Urges Air Patrol of Coast.
Rear Admiral Peary pointed out the
great value of the hydro-airplanes in
seeking out submarines and said that
1000 such machines along our coasts
would Increase our efficiency from 200 to
900 per cent. but added that 5000 ma
chimes would not be too many.
He said this summer a coast patrol
could be maintained by airplane from
$50 to 200 miles out to sea and by
next summer. with increased develop
ment and additional machines. this dis
tance could be increased to 500 miles.
Senator Brady asked II by the use Of
airplanes the landing of a hostile army
on our coast could be prevented.

but 1t would mean the use of thou
sands instead of hundreds of planes
The whole science Of airplanes is in the
infancy stage"

SPRAY OUTFIT IS ESSENTIAL
Many Places on Farm Where 1t Is Needed-Valuable in Orchard,
 Garden and Henhouse.

No farm should be without good spraying outfit. There are so many places where it is valuable The or chard the garden and the henhouse all need it. The little bucket spray CTS are just an aggravation for any use where pressure and speed are needed, though they are fully as use ful as one could expect them to be. For spraying one or two trees, or for the henhouse, they will do very well, but in large field of potatoes, large orchard of large trees, or where force enough is needed to throw the spray into dense foliage, they cannot be ex- pected to do the work as well as a more powerful pump. The lever ac- tion of the barrel pump handle adds to the power exerted, and the larger cyl inder gives a faster flowing stream and greater pressure can be maintained with the same nozzle. A barrel spray CT, that takes a barrel without a head and Is attached to the rim of the bar. rel, will give good service.

BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment. Conducted by Ohio Sta tion Fowls Gained in Weight and
 Produced More Eggs.

Feeders of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs have claimed for years that these animals must be fed q balanced ration. Special attention has been given to balanced rations for dairy COWS. By this is meant that one feed constituent should not be fed in ex- cess, while another is lacking for the upkeep of the animals body. The pro- tein must be in a certain proportion to the sugars, starches and fat in the feed. Now the hen comes in for her share in this scientific feeding.
 Ten times as many eggs were pro- duced by hens fed a well-balanced ration as by those given only corn, wheat and oats in an experiment con- ducted by the Ohio experiment sta tion. The balanced ration consisted of three parts by weight of corn and one part of wheat fed twice daily in the litter, and a mash mixture of two parts meatscrap added to two parts ground corn and one part bran fed in self-feeding hoppers.

FRUIT k.:D VEGETABLE CROPS
Problems in Marketing Perishable Products Begin With Produc-
 tion--lmportant Factors.

The problems in the marketing of the vast amount of perishable food products begin, as dc most marketing problems, with production. The vari- ety of the fruit or vegetable grown and the amount of this variety avail able, often are important factors in shaping market demand and prices. The quality of the product, as infiu- enced by choice of soils, fertilizers and cultural methods, is another im- portant consideration affecting mar &eting success.
 Since the growing of perishable fruits and vegetables is on q rela- lively small-seale basis, while the large aggregate demands of the great market centers have brought about the existence of dealers who handle such produce only in large lots, the questions of production which later influence marketing can be dealt with satisfactorily in most cases only on q community basis. This fact and the recognition that many other problems could be met satisfactorily only by CO., operating groups of producers, has led to the organization of cooperative marketing associations in many sec tions devoted more or less extensively to the production of such perishable crops.

house space and treatment except for the difference in feed. The test period lasted 40 days.
 The hens given the balanced ration ate more feed, which cost about 90 per cent more than the ration of corn, wheat and oats. However, they gained more in weight and produced ten times as many eggs, making net profit, while the other lot was kept at q loss.
