T|E-UP OF EVERY SHIP |NNAWIS
 PROSPECT FACED
Naval Fuel Funds Agreed Upon Only Half Amount Needed to Keep veS-
 seIs in Operation
By Associated Pres

Washington, March Necessity of tying up every ship in the navy for lack of fuel to permit operation faced the navy department as an immediate probability tonight due to action of the House appropriations committee reporting out today de- ficiency item of $6,20o, ,o00 for naval fuel to be used during the remain der of the fiscal year. The sum is about one-half of the original fuel deficiency estimate submitted by the department
 As drawn by the committee the bill does not provide for an additional appropriation but merely authorizes the department to spend money it might be able to take from other current appropriations for fuel pp to the limit set.
 Denby Is silent
 Naval officials are known to re- gard the situation as seriouA al- though Secretary Denby refused to- night to authorize any comment on the action of the committed There were indications, however, that ord CTS must go forward to all parts of the navy almost imn ediately under which no ship would be permitted to operate under steam for the remain der of the fiscal year, unless admin istration officials were successful in inducing Congress to make more lib- eral fuel provisions.
 While the navy department has au- thority under existing law to create deficiencies as an emergency matter. 1t is known that the policy of the administration is against that prac- tice and chat Secretary Denby pro poses to keep expenditures of his depar tment within limits of appro- priations if it is humanly possible to do soM
 Forecasts Ultimate Action
 Action of the appropriations com mittae of the House is generally re- sarded as forecasting closely ultimate action of Congress and until there is soms development showing that Con- gress has appreciated the situation in which the navy would be left, there are Publications that no operations of the fleet will be authorized which | would lead to expenditure of fuel Ape sond the limit set.
 N Tn presenting the fuel deficiency Situation to the subcomIlittee on .na- n>tez<K secrefzry benby 'eoit fed out th3t the original esti- mates for the current year were $s7.- 100000. which was ultimately reduced by the department to $2o GOO, 600 and cut by Congress to $17.5e0,o00. Of that sum only s14,ooo.0o0 was avail able for fleet fuel and Mir. Denby ex- plained that should avery shin now in commission remain at anchor throughout the year, the total fuel bill to keep them under necessary steam in port would amount to s12,- S50,0o0, which would leave the navy only $1, 50,000 for operations under way as against s1s,500oo requested 6gfor the 1922 year.

Cows Complete Year Test.

Two COWS Of the West Central
School Of Agriculture here completed
tests covering a period of a year last
week. Both showed a good produc-
ton during that time. Flora of La
Villa, an eight-year-old Guernsey,
produced $3.50 pounds of milk while
under test and 43O pounds of butter
fat. Mercedes Nachafe Segis De Kol
a junior two-year-old Holstein, pro-
duced 1875 pounds of milk with
377 pounds of butter fat. Six other
cows are under semi-official
test at the present tine. The two
just completing the test were MIXED
but twice a day
A holstein bull was received at the
school last week from the University
farm at st. Paul. The animal is be-
ing loaned to the school here and
will be returned at the end of a year
to sire the herd of the University
farm. The bull is a son of Marathon
Bess Burke, a former herd sire of E.
G. Shredder. He is out of junior
two-year-old with record of 696
pounds Of butter fat and 17,O47
pound milk record. The bull was a
year old last August. From his in
dividuaHity and excellent breeding it
is expected that he will make a very
good herd sire.

Dockage Shows Alarming Increase

In every 20 bushels Of spring wheat
thrashed annually in the United
States there is / bushel of dockage
which is largely weed seeds, accord
ing to an estimate made by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
based on figures for the 1921 crop
produced in Minnesota, North Dako-
ia, and South Dakota. If all of the
dockage were to be cleaned out of the
spring wheat raised and shipped to
market separately it would more than
fill 5000 freight cars containing 49,,
600 pounds each.
Records of grain inspection in Min
nesota show that for the last 10
years the percentage Of dockage in
wheat arriving at the terminal mar
kets in this state has gradually in
creased. The average dockage for
1908 was 2.2 per cent, for the 6-year
period ending 1914, 80 per cent, and
for the Swear period ending 1920 it
was 40 per cent, while for the 1920
crop of wheat alone marketed up to
January /, 1921, the average dock
age was 81 per cent.
This means that the 1921 crop of
spring wheat produced in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota
alone contained more than 100000
bushels of dockage. Assuming that
the 81 per cent is representative for
the total crop of spring wheat, it
means that more than 10000 900
bushels of so pounds each Of dockage
was grown and thrashed in the Unit
ed States last year. Fully so per
cent Of the dockage could easily have
been removed, it is said, by the prop
er use of an ordinary farm tanning
mill.
Realization Of these conditions
prompted specialists of the depart
- ment to design a grain recleaner at
tachment for thrashing machines to
remove this dockage from the wheat
as part Of the thrashing operation.
Preliminary tests Of this recleaner
indicate its practicability.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1922-02-03

The brief shows the progress made
by Minnesota farmers in building up
cooperative marketing organizations,
and the practical results obtained by
these organizations during the last
year.
The review of Minnesota's expert
ence in cooperative marketing is ex-
pected to play an important part in
the fight for passage OF the Capper-
Volstead bill. This proposed act, al
ready passed by the house of repre-
sentatvies, guarantees to the farmers
of the United States virtually the
same rights of collective bargaining
that already have been guaranteed by
state law in Minnesota. 1t would do
nothing more than give farmers CO.
operative institutions, doing inter-
state business, the same rights now
enjoyed by private corporations, ac-
cording to farm bureau officers. It
would assure just and open competi-
ton between cooperative selling
agencies and private corporations,
| they assert, and fair test of the CO.
operative system.
