Battle to Save Navy

The opening day of the fight in congress to
save the American navy so that it's personnel will
not be smaller than that of Japan saw the little
navy advocates pretty well in retreat.
Supporters of President Harding predicted
that they would be able to overthrow the little
navy group by substantial vote and that the
American people could rest assured that the ra-
ito of 5-5-3, established by the Washington con-
ference, would be maintained by the action of the
house.
The argument of economy is finding little
support on this point, and rightly so, because
even those who are inclined to be pacfists are
forced to admit that for the present at least the
United States must maintain her naval strength
on an adequate basis irrespective of the cost.
The ratio which was established by the Wash
ington conference is check on wild race of the
powers for naval supremacy but it does not i'm
ply that the affected powers should not maintain
their naval ornaments at the strength laid down
in the agreement
The American people do not love war, but
neither do they believe in what Theodore Roose-
welt, assistant secretary of the navy, described
as flame duck navy" The result of the policy
advocated by the little navy group would be a
breaking of the naval ratio, and, as Col. Roose-
welt aptly puts it, eve will be second-rate coun-

ed methods of production and grad
ing; developing community leaders;
increasing the membership and doing
good work with the extension service

FARMERS OUTLINE
FIGHT ON WEEVIL
PLAN TO GROW COTTON UN-
DER PEST CONDI-
TIONS.

Scientific farmers and farm ex.
perts meeting in Columbia Saturday
at the call of Governor Harvey, dis
cussed the boil weevil situation ir
South Carolina and as a result of the
conference outlined definite program
to be followed by all cotton growers
proftably under weevil conditions, il
was said, but small acreage must
be planted so that it can be given
close attention. The need for grow
ing food crops sufficient to care fol
man and beast was stressed and the
opinion was voiced that the day OF
absentee ownership has passed. The
white brain is needed to raise cot
ton under weevil conditions, and the
ordinary negro laborer is not able to
cope with the pest unless under white
guidance, it was said.
The following recommendations, to
the cotton growers of the state were
adoped unanimously:
Destroy the weevils winter quar-
ters by plowing under cotton and
corn stalks and by cleaning terraces,
ditch banks and other trash on the
farm.
Prepare land early and thorough
ly. Plant best seed of approved va
,rieties. Among the best varieties are
Lightning Express, Cleveland Big
Boil, Delta type and ION wilt-in-fest-
ed land Dixie Triumph.
"Use- fertilizers sufficient such as
should make an average bale per
acre in an average season, without
the presence of the weevil. This
varies on individual farms. Make
side applications of soda early be-
fore first blooms appear.
"Plant as soon as ground is warm.
All cotton in a given community
should be planted at about the same
time (from the first to the middle Of
April.)
Practice frequent shallow culti-
vation to keep up fruiting. Practice
thick spacing.
Practice early square picking if
cheap labor is available. This must
be done very thoroughly every five
days if possible in order to be effec-
tive.
definite recommendations on pois-
oning are deferred, for future con-
sideration by this conference, until
after the proposed conferences at
Washington has been held to deter
mine upon the general policy to be
recommended for 1928.
Develop a fertile soil as the best
asset for farming under boil wee
vii conditions"
