NEW YORK, March 27.-America's
effort to meet German submarine wa,
whose full menace has just been re-
vealed in British admiralty figures Oh
sinkings of ships. was outlined hero
tonight by Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board, in a frank statement
before the National Marine League.
Mr. Hurley disclosed that despite de-
lays. the country will soon have $50
steel and wooden ways turning out
ships and that the governments nam
moth steel ship building program Of
eight million tons on March l was 2S
per cent on its way to completion. This
does not mean that 2S per cent was in
the water. but that construction as a
whole had advanced that far. Eight
per cent of the vessels actually have
been put into service, Mr.. Hanley said

Hurley said, more ships in a year than

Ships Greatest Need
The high point in the curve of pro-
ductiOn has been delayed. Mr.. Hurley
nOinted out. by a Dumber of causes.
Gradually, these are being overcome.
he declared and before many months
the neak will have been reached.
Unless we get our men to the bat
tie front, we will not win the war. and
therefore it all comes back TO snips.-
said Mr.. Hurley. Upon the shipping
board has devOlved the responsibility
of supplying this need and supplying
il under the most extraordinary cir
cumstances that ever existed at a time
when every other industry is being
taxed to its utmost capacity to provide
war necessities.
The handicaps have been many. We
were not a maratime nation. With the
exception of a few widely scattered
wards. merchant marine construction
had almost become a lost art with US.
Then came this sudden call at a mo-

the counter blow which they think

seedsmen to Sell Only
The Eyes of Potatoes

While it is rare for experts in any
line to agree, the men who speak with
authority about potatoes seem to be
of almost one mind. that no matter
how many eyes potato seed has only
one of them will make a sturdy,
worthwhile plant. And it is we'll that
the authorities have come into at
least the zone of agreement, for the
potato growers are far from unani-
nous. Some still stick to the ancient
Irish method of planting a whole po-
tato, some make two seeds of po-
tato, others cut for two eyes, and still
others make as many seeds of spud
as 1t has eyes.
The Ohio experiment station, to
settle the matter definitely, made a
series of experiments running through
five years. -Four acres OF land were
divided into as many fields, and all
fields were treated identically in the
matter of fertilizing, cultivating,
spraying and harvesting. One acre
was planted with whole potatoes, one
with half potatoes. one with two eyes
to seed, and one with one-eyed seed.
At the end of each season the weight
and cost of each sort of seed were
computed, along with the weight Of
marketable and Gull potatoes pro-
duced on each acre. The one-eyed
seed was found to have given the
best results, not only in total output,
but in hardness Of plant. Five years
repetition of the experiment gave the
same result each year, which would
seem to be sufficiently conclusive to
settle the matter.
But II only verified the wisdom OF

Chicago, March 2.-Further testi-
mony in support of the contention
of the big packing companies that it
is impracticable to change from ten

lack of necessary tankage and cooling
facilities in the present plants was
given today in the wage arbitration
proceedings before Federal Judge

In concluding the cross-examina-
ton of Chester S. Churchill, advisory
superintendent of Swift & Co., Frank
P. Walsh, attorney for the unions,
read list purporting to give the
yearly salaries of some of the officers
Of Swift & Co. The list was, in part:
Louis F. Swift, president, $65,000;
E. F. Swift, $4,000; C. H. Swift, $20,-

c. T. Pryor, $4,000; William Leavitt,
The witness said he had no know
ledge of the salaries of officers Of the
company.
In reply to questions by Judge Al
schuler the witness admitted that
wages now paid common labor by
the packers is slightly lower than the
average paid by other large EN-
ployers. ....
Mr.. Churchill said he had never
considered the cost of living in con-

said Swift & Co. recently engaged an
economist to study these questions.
