Jacksonville Wants Camp Johnston.

Public opinion heartily approves the proposition
of the chamber of commerce for the city council
to put $4,000 in the gudget for the purchase of the
site of Camp Johnston. The city is already rec
ord having agreed to purchase this site. and in
view of this fact the US government has promised
to make Camp Joseph E. Johnston a permanent
camp. Everybody knows that permanent camp
here millions of dollars to Jacksonville, and
the city authorities should leave stone unturned
to cinch this proposition At present everything is
unsettled in Washington as to the military future
of the United States but the fact that the camp
site here is in good shape financially would help
very, much towards making this permanent camp.
We a know this camp pulled Jacksonville out
of the depths of dependency three years ago. BY
having patriotic public spirited councilman is ex-
heartily lend his help in establishing this
camp. Let there be no hagglng over this $4,000,
for it is an investment of the very best kind.

but holding higher temporary COM
missions. Necessity of administration
kept the juniors in their emergency
rank. and veterans of the Argonne,
San Mihiel and Chateau Thierry were
obliged to salute the men to whom
they had taught the military art.
In this connection there is another
interesting phase. The heavy reduc-
ton in officers was made from the
higher grades: so that the generals
are worse off financially; for what
they gained in pay by serving in the
higher rank has been lost by the
months they are spending in the low
er; whereas, if they had remained
colonies, they might have held that
grade and not been put back to the
lower officers pay.
1t is believed If the bill providing
for $4,000 officers becomes effective
that the War Department will have
power to restore these officers to their
former emergency rank or at least
place them on parity with their
present outranking juniors.

schools of thought in the field of avn
alton. The future of aviation in the
United States rests in great meas
ure upon the decision of Congress.
Most of the older officers of the
Army-and the same is true of the
Navy-regard aviation as one of the
most important subsidiaries of its
war organization. Most of them place
it on a parity with such branches as
the cavalry, artillery or the engi
neers. They assert that air control
has Importance equal to calvary pow
er as a means of scouting and that it
is powerful factor in combat and in
direct assaults with machine gun
fire, bombs and heavy explosives
They believe now that in war the
side lacking air power is in many re-
spects at the mercy Of the enemy
which possesses airplanes, balloons
and dirigibles. Therefore they are
asking Congress to give the Army
and the Navy preponderance of air
power.
Congress has already given them
considerable sums by way of appro-
priations for this purpose. although

view of the situation, as the several
factors-Congress, the Army and the
President-in reaching a result view
the subject from different angles.
The situation Is aggravated by lack
of definiteness concerning the future
necessity for a military force, al
though perhaps all three factors have
reached the conclusion that in the
present upset state Of the world at
large unwisdom would be found in
an extreme reduction of the Army.
The officers apparently are giving
themselves the utmost concern over
the details of an army that will be
ample in numbers and organization to
put the country in a state of pre-
paredness for any emergency; and to
that end have submitted a plan for
universal military training. upon
which the administration has fixed a
Limitation for the training period.
Enactment of the bill known as the
War Department bill would doubtless
give the country a better military
organization than 1t had. but, con-
gressmen say. it contains provisions
that are unacceptable to the country
at large, and it therefore cannot be-
come a law. The kahn-Cham berlain
bill contains many excellent features

are unsatisfactory.

VERMONT MAPLE SUGAR Or
CHARDs EARN, TWO MILLION
DOLLARS

Commissioner of Agriculture E. 8.
Brigham has completed a census Of the
11s maple sugar crop taken through the
members of the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers association A postal card was
mailed to each member Of the associa-
ton, asking for comparative data con-
corning the 1888 production Of maple
sugar and syrup and the prices received
therefor. The number Of trees tapped
increased 1 per cent, over the number
tapped in 1918. The production, however.
was disappointing. In 1918, the prod
uction per tree was 2.26 pounds Of sugar
in 1919 1t was 1.6l pounds. Prices, how
ever. were higher in 1919 than in 1918.
The average price received by the
reporters for 1919 for syrup was $3.50 per
gallon as against $1.4 in 1918. The price
for sugar was q cents per pound for 1918
as against % cents for 1918. From the
data secured, 1t Is estimated that 5000, ZOO
trees were tapped in Vermont this spring
and that 100000 pounds Of sugar. or the
equivalent thereof in syrup, was
produced. The prices received by the re-
porters were probably higher than the
average for the State, but. making al
lowance for this and the price Of con-
tanners, the maple sugar crop of 1915
produced a revenue of at least $4,000. 600
Sugar makers are somewhat disap-
pointed in the small crop secured this
year because, in view of the fact that
production has not been normal for the
past three seasons. sugar makers were
led to believe that on the law OF
averages they were entitled to a good
sugar season in 1919 and preparations
were made therefor. However, the re-
suits financially were fairly satisfactory,
owing to the higher prices.

facts about the individual farms and the
summary of these reports will be
published in a booklet to be issued in the
summer.
Although the listers simply asked farm
owners. when taking the list. If the farm
was for sale, some town clerks report
that owners refuse to answer the
question for fear that the selling price
Of the farm might be asked and, as a
result. the farm be put In the list at q
