TO ASK CONGRESS FOR
DEPT. OF AERONAUTICS

Washington, March 25.-One of the big
fights scheduled for the new Congress Is
for the establishment Of a department of
aeronautics to have Jurisdiction not only
over the army and navy flyers and the
aerial mail planes but of the commercial
development of the new art as we'll.
The navy is bitterly opposed to the plan
the army Is divided. although Secretary
Baker is against it. Colonel Kenly, who.
as a major general at the head Of army
aeronautics. advocated the idea and there
by found himself opposed to the policy
of the secretary and general STAFF, Is the
authority to whom the congressman point
in contending for the new department. The
British have this system and their budget
contemplates the expenditure Of $4,000
600. Against this the $75,OOo,OO0 which rep
resents the aggregate for our army and
navy under the bills that failed does not
loom large.
The intinlation from Congress Is that big
appropriation must walt on the adoption
of a definite policy. 1t was on this ground
that Representative La Guardia. himself
an army flyer during the war, had strick'
en- from the naval bill provision for the
development Of Zeppelin types.

CANT0NMENT SITES
Fifty Army Camps and Thirteen
Balloon and Flying Fields All
Over the Country Have Been
Purchased
COST ABOUT s15,OOO,OO0

ters-'rwenfy-seven Camps and
Fifteen Aviation Fields Abandoned

Washington, March 2t.--Declsion OF the
war department to proceed with the pur
chase OK the sites OF II army camps and
10 balloon and flying fields over the coun-
try was announced to-day by Acting
Secretary Crowel. Less than $15.000.OO
will be involved, Mr. CroweIl said, and
II will not be necessary to await action
by Congress as the department now has
the necessary funds.
With these purchases completed, the
army will have 30 training camps, includ-
Ing the original &c cantonments con-
structed for the training of the national
army and ~ aviation centers, most OF
which Will be In the southeastern States.
Texas and California. The few fields
TO be retained In the North will be re-
garded as summer flying centers only
Twenty-sevcn camps and Ii aviation
fields will be abandoned. O3rders already
have gone out Cor the abandonment OF
20 Of the camps, including nearly all Of
the National Guard training ceaters set
up after the United States declared war on
Germany. Construction work on the q
camps, according to war department fig
ures. represents a cost of approximately
s11o0oo.OC0 Of which 100000 was spent on
the four embarkation cantcnments-Mills,
New York, and Merritt. New Jersey, and
Stuart and HILL Newport News.
Approximately $3.50. 900 has been spent
In construction work on the Is canton
ments to be bought and the Is now owned
and It was largely because Of the sum in
volved that the department decided to go
ahead with the purchase.
Most Of the thirty camps now are
being used as rehabilitation centers,
but no definite plans for their en-
ployment after the war army is dis
banded have been evolved 1t was cN-
planned that the whole problem of the
future use of the camps depended up
on the nations military policy and
that no conclusion as to that could
be reached until the peace conference
at Paris had rendered its decision as
to world disarmament.
, Announcement already has been
! made that only two flying fields ac-
tually would be used in training army
aviators in peace time and that others
| purchased or now owned would be-
come storage plants for material IN
| hand or under contract. Location OF
! the FLYING centers to be retained shows
! a plan to have three general training
centers, one in the far west. one in
the southwestern port Of the country
and one In the southeast with the diff
ferent fields in each section close
enough together 50 that elementary
and advanced training will be pro-
vided within reasonable area. Total
expenditures on the nineteen flying
and balloon fields to be retained rep
resent about S3o,o0o,0oO.

Warns Against Poor Seeds

st. Adams. March 21.-The farm bureau
office is warning farmers of the county
to look out for poor seeds again this
year. Reports have been received at the
office from the State experiment stations
that continued drouths In some sections
and heavy rains In other sections of the
West last year resulted in much grass
and clover seed Of poor quality and low
termination.
Farmers are cautioned to inspect their
grass seed very thoroughly by means OF
spreading out tablespoonful on a sheet
of white paper and separating the broker
and shrivelled seed as we'll as the for
eign material from the good plump seed
In this way some idea of the relative
amount of the good seed the sample con-
tains can be found. The seed should
also be tested for termination by placing
100 or 200 seeds between blotting paper
which should be kept in a warm place
/ Good seed should sprout In four or FIVE
| DAYS.
