and many are not newspaper readers
and have no knowledge of the improv-
led methods of handling and shipping
their products.
"They are anxious and willing to
remain on the farm" the Louisiana
governor said, because it is all they
know, but if unable to make living
for themselves and their children,
they viii follow the current and drift
to the cities"
Farmers. Governor Parker assert

theory and expert book knowledge
which has failed to work out prac-
lticaliy. that many of them are dis
Igusted and disheartened" He defined
their need as "common-sense assist
ance."
More economical and improved
methods Of marketing were urged by
Governor Parker. A careful study
should be made of the great markets
OF the country. he asserted, and de.
ltermined effort made to see that per
ishables especially are promptly
transported and congestion obviateC

"In the great central markets." ht
said, "the government should have al
least two experts who should worl

from the board of trade to see tha
there is no loss or useless waste o.

AMERICAS FLEET
HASN'T IMPROVED

Washington. Dec. 6.-The mechan-
ical condition of Americas feet has
undergone little Improvement since
the termination of the war and the
engineer performance of the individ-
nal ships "has not been satisfactory"
Rear Admiral Griffin, chief of the bu-
reau of engineering says in his an
nual report just made public at the
naval department.
The navy personnel, however, is
commended by the admiral for having
Successfully grappled with this sit
uation with at least no retrograde
movement" Admiral Griffin adds,
however, that the operation of the
ships with respect to their mechan-
ical workings is not by any means
what is desired although it has been
better than "was reasonably to be ex-
pected" under the conditions.
Admiral Griffin attributed the trou-
bles of the engineering staff mainly
to an inadequacy of operating person
mel, but explains that the influx of
raw recruits coupled with the con-
slant addition of new vessels to the
navy list has increased the problems.
The lack of men reacted on the en-
gineering bureau in two ways, the
admiral says.
The number of repair jobs usually
4 Ill RI rpphr
ly increased due to the decreased skill
in operation while the yards were, in
addition, called upon to perform much
work which ordinarily would be ac-
complished by the forces of indi-
viduel ships. The appropriations for
the upkeep of the feet were, in many
cases, therefore. used for the per-
formance of work ordinarily done by
enlisted men. The unusual demand
served to reduce funds available for
major repair work.
In addition to the extra cost caus-
ed by the personnel situation, the ad.
Imiral says a number of other fact.
Icombined to increase the difficulties
with which the bureau was confront
ed. There was large amount of up
keep work, left over from the war
time operation the report says anC
with this came closely pared appro
lpriations in the face of increased Ia
Dor and material costs.
The navy pay scale also has serves
to reduce the number of skilled AM

obtain higher wages elsewhere. Tn
