SENATE INQUIRIES INTO
ORDNANCE DEFICIENCIES
Senate Military Committee Hears Ex-
plantations OF General CrOzier, Who
Admits Shortage in United States.

Delays and deficiencies in supplying
the army with ordnance were detailed
and explained Wednesday by Major
General Crozier. chief of ordnance, to
the senate military committee at the
beginning of the general inquiry plan
ned by congress into the conduct of
the war.
The initial hearing was public and
will be continued Thursday with Gen
eral Crozier on the stand. Later exc
cutive sessions will be held for dis
cussion of subjects involving military
secrets.
That there is a shortage of ordnance
at home for training purposes, zen
eral Crozier admitted. but he said
there is no shortage "on the other
side" and will be one II has been
possible. he said, to purchase English
and French artillery for use in Eu-
rope and he predicted that by next
summer the principal ordnance short
ages for training purposes would be
met.
Delays in supplying ordnance, Cen
eral Crozier explained. have been due
to several causes, including time taken

Farmers Institute al ROekland Tues
daN

The farmers institute at Rockland
Tuesday was attended by about fifty
adults and a number of school chill
dren. Superintendent Aichre of Aber-
deen. told of the tests made at the ex-
pertinent station, where the precipita-
ton Is materially less than the aver
age in this county. He said the best
results had been secured by blowing
six to seven inches deep. Deeper
blowing was not advisable at the sta
ton because there was not enough
moisture to warrant it. Where there
was ample moisture deeper blowing
would be justified, in his opinion.
For seeding, tests had been made
from August / to November /. The
best results had been secured between
August Is and September Is. Later
seeding had never been as good. He
advocated seeding shallow, about two
inches. Turkey Red had proven to
be the best for fall seeding, and Early
Baart for spring. Tests had been made
covering four years.
Byron Hunter followed with a few
observations On dry farming, in which
he said he would not seed in dry
ground. Where the moisture had been
conserved so that il was within four
inches of the surface he would seed
down to the moisture, but would not
seed deeper. If a rain came in Sep
TENDER, he would give the weeds a
few days to terminate, then harrow
and seed, but would not wait until
the ground dried out before seeding.
He would rather seed in the spring
han seed in dry ground. Mr.. Hunt
er's investigations covered precipita-
tions ranging from eight to 25 inches,
and the methods that were found
most successful.
Mr.. Hunter closed with a talk on
green feed for hogs showing that pork
could be made cheaper on mixed feed
than on dry feed alone.

Although detailed questioning of
General Crozier was deferred, several

appeared dissatisfied with what they
learned. General Crozier explained
many advance preparations, including
a census Of munition manufacturers
and said everything possible was done.
