NAVY LEADERS
FIGHT REDUCTION
Seriously Object to Plan to Cut
the Personnel of De- :.
partment.
WOULD MAKE U. S. THIRD RATE
Captain Knox Contends That Hughes
Scheme Does Not Contemplate a
Reduction in the Navy Now
in Commission.

Washington, Dec. 19.-With navy
building competition halted by the
naval authorities, keen competition
in the efficiency Of the restricted sea
forces-a competition in which the
United States will be worSted If the
reduction of personnel proposed by
Representative Kelley Of Michigan, In
house, should be approved by con-
gress.
Capt. Dudley w Knox, o. s. ~, is
authority for the assertion that the
Kelley proposal to cut the personnel
In half would destroy the 5-5-3 ratio
of the Hughes plan, and make The ac-
tual ratio: England 5; Japan, 3;
America, 2.
No Cut of Present Navy.
1.-THE Hughes plan" Captain Knox
said, docs not contemplate reduc-
ton in the navy now in commission.
The ships which America Is scheduled
to scrap constitute almost exclusively
ships not yet completed and certain
Of the older ships which are nearly all
out of commission.
''As n matter Of fact, the prescribed
allowances of Mr. Hughes for the
United States are actually greater in
total tonnage than ships now in com
mission. In the cruiser class, for ex-
ample, we are short about 10000 tons
Of our allowance in aircraft carriers.
about 10000 tons, and In submarines,
about 6,000 tons.
IF these shortages are made good
IL would require approximately $500
men and 1876 officers TO man the new
ships alone on an ordinary peace basis
of complement
But 1t Is not only In ships vet 10 be
added to the navy that there exists
shortage of personnel. Acute deficlen-
cy exists at present Our is battle
ships now In commission, which Is
the number allowed In the Hughes pro-
posals, require 22,3S0 men as com
plement under ordinary peace oper-
ating conditions, whereas at present
they have only about 1900 men on
board. In other words, the battleshlps
are on a basis of only sSla per cent
of ordinary peace complement
More Than $4,000 Men Short.
The total number OF men now In the
navy is about 100000. This number
by the most conservative estimate
Is 10000 men short of the minimum re.
auirements for keeping up efficiency
of material and personnel of the pres
ent naval establishment. 1t is 10000
men short of the ordinary peace com
plements. There is similar shortage
of 1000 line officers, and many hun
dreds of stan officers.
If we had actually In commission

ed, "tlie ordinary peace compliments.
alloat and ashore, would be l3S.OoO
men aud 1000 line officers. Hence the
present personnel Is insufficient by
$4,000 men and 400 line officers TO
man with ordinary peace compliments
the naval tonnage proposed by Mr..
Hughes as appropriate to our inter
eSts.
To reduce the navy personnel by
half the present quota, aS Mr. Kelley
proposes. would be just as serious II

Weekly Cotton Letter by Savannah
Cotton Factorage Co.

There continued to be wide fluctua-
tions in the cotton market this week.
October cotton advanced from 18.45
on September 9th to 21.45 on the
10th. This advance was caused by re-
ports of severe storm in Texas. On
Monday, September 18th, a wave of
profit-taking set in, resulting in a de-
cline from 21.50 to 1880. From Sep
tember 18th to date fluctuations have
not been so violent but the market is
still very nervous.
The Census Bureaus Consumption
report was published this week and
showed 467,i03 bales consumed by
American mills in August. against
483, $50 last year. While this decrease
was disappointing it was more than
offset by reduction of some 1884,
600 bales in spinners' stocks. Exports
during August totaled 495,13O,
against 1865 in 1920.
The Governments Weekly Weather
Review reported the cotton plant to
be in poor to very poor condition, and
added that little or no improvement
could be expected.

FALL GARDEN NOTES.

Bsets, cabbage, lettuce. mustard,
onions, garden peas. radish, spinach
and turnips can be planted in the fall
garden.
Sow beet seed the latter part of
September. The plants will stand
the winter and produce beets for ear
1y spring use.
Good cabbage plants of the Wake
field variety set in early September
will form heads in December. With
slight protection both cabbage and
coIlards will carry through our
severest winters.
Kale sown during September will
produce an abundance of greens dur
ing winter and early spring. Siberian
Curled is a good fall variety.
Sow Big Boston lettuce for a fall
lection firm heads can be had i'm
January and February.
Mustard will stand any amount of
cold and seed sown during Septem-
ber, will furnish green's throughout
the fall, winter and early spring.
White Pearl and Prizetaker are
splendid onion varieties for all plant
ing. Sets of these varieties will
furnish green onions during the
winter and early spring. Seeds ma,
be sown from September 90 to octo-
ber 15. ~ ~
Plant garden peas during Novem-
ber for the earliest spring peas. Alas
ka is a good variety for fall planting.
Long White Spanish radishes or
some of the other winter varieties
will remain in good condition
throughout the winter. Sow seed the
last of September.
Though commonly sown for pas
turage, rape seed sown in September
will yield excellent winter green's.
Spinach seed sown in late Septem-
ber or early October will produce
green's throughout the winter unit
late spring.
Sow turnips. from the first tC
twentieth of September. This is on,
of our reliable vegetables that will
produce both roots and tops for win
ter and spring. The White Egg should
be sown for turnips and the Seventol
for greens.

TO HELP CONTROL WEEvILs.
Pick Rapidly, Destroy Stalks ThOro
ughly and Clean the Fields
Thoroughly.

Clemson College, Sept. 81 - The
earlier the cotton stalks are destroy
ed, the fewer the boil weevils that
will survive the winter and conse-
quently the smaller the damage to the
next crop, says Professor A. F. Con-
radi. entomologist. who advises that
as far as possible the stalks be de-
stroyed at least two weeks before the
first killing frost, for the early fall
destruction of cotton stalks is practi-
cally the most important single step
in any system of fighting the boil
weevils. In other words, cleaning
OF the fields, destroying the stalks
and the planting Of cover crops con-
stitute most powerful weapons for
weevil fighting now in the hands Of
the farmers, who by efficient fall
farm management can dictate to a
great extent how many weevils shall
pass tthe winter on his farm This
fall cleaning program is also of the
greatest benefit generally in destroy
ing the winter homes and the winter
food plants Of other injurious pests
OF the farm.
Boil weevils multiply in cotton ur-
til frost kills it. Many thousands of
them NAV occur in each acre of cot
ton. Weevils hibernate that is thev

grown state. Hibernation usually be-
gins with the coming OF the first
killing frost. The weevils hibernate
principally in cotton fields, and
standing stalks make for them splen-
did winter homes. The most favorable
condition for successful Information
is found in fields where cotton stalks,
grass. weeds, dead leaves, etc. are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing under such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted, piled and burned. This
has the very serious disadvantage of
destroying a large amount of veget-
able matter which should be turned
under. Whenever the farmer is
equipped with plows and mules to
turn under the stalks five to six
inches after they have been cut down
with the chopper, it is a very effec-
tive plan. A less effective method
is to Craze off all green cotton within
a period Of few days. Whatever
the method the destruction of stalks
must be thorough.
Some Of the many advantages Sc
cured from cleaning the fields and
destroying the stalks are: Cd "A
great many full grown weevils are
killed outright: CD Many young
stages in the plants are killed: CD
The full grown weevils not killed will
be weakened by starvation if the
stalks are destroyed two to three
weeks before the first frost and these
will not have sufficient strength to
pass the winter successfully. The
removal of the stalks also facilitates
fall growing and the planting of
cover crops.
Where stalks are chopped and
plowed under, the land should be
disked in order to help prevent Wee
wills from escaping.

WARNING TO SWEET
POTATO GROWERS.

Clemson College, Sept. 21 - Sweet
potatoes should be dug before frost
or continued cold weather approach
ine frost, according to the Extension
Service horticulturists, who warn
that the sweet potato is a tropical
plant and that both vines and roots
may be damaged by temperature
above the frost point.
The prevalent idea that the vines
must be frosted before the potatoes
are dug is wrong and the practice is
dangerous. 1t is unsafe to wait later
than the dates below to gather pota-
toes. Many growers who waited un-
til frost last year lost their entire
crop, regardless of the kind Of stor-
lage facilities.
The approximate earliest date of
the first killing frost in the Piedmont
section is October %, in the Sandhill
section November /, in the Coastal
section November 9.
OF the two evils, immaturity and
fl ost injury, the former is least in
furious, as the immature potatoes can
be kept, while 'frostbitten potatoes
cannot be kept under any condition
Vines should not be removed ex-
cept from potatoes to be dug the
same day. Experiments and observa-
tions indicate that potatoes so treat
ed are hard to cure. However. il
frost kills the vines before potatoes
can be dug, the main stem should be
clipped at base Of plant before thaw-
ing takes place.
The house should be filled within
two or three days and curing should
begin on first day, depending on
weather conditions, and continued
ten to fourteen days depending upon
we ather conditions.
There is more danger resulting
from under-curing than overcoming
