undoubtedly one of the optimistic
signs of future improments of high
ways on an extensive scale in the
near future, in the opinion of adj
vocates of good roads here.
This is particularly true in
Georgia and other Southern states,
which are evidently in a fairly pros
porous period from an agricultural
standpoint, it is pointed out here.
The situation, it is shown provides
a good foundation for a hope that
the next few years will see enor-
nous strides in road improvement
throughout the southern states.

$3O,OOO,OOO FUND
SOUGHT FOR NAVY
Annual Report of Secretary
Urges America To Modern
ize Department

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL A
$30,0O0,OOO appropriation to carry
out the much-controverted program
of fleet modernization authorize
ton for the building of eight w.
O0O-ton cruisers, three cruisers-type
submarines, and six gunboats; eX-
penditure of S7676,000 on naval
bases; and a five-year constructive
naval aviation program, were rec
commended today by Secretary
DENLY in his annual report.
The modernization plans held IN
allegiance during the past year must
be carried out, the Secretary said
if the United States is to main
tain its proper place under the
arms treaty, while in cruiser
strength this country has fallen so
far behind Great Britain that 1t
cannot hope for years to come to
attain the equality it is entitled to
under the 5-5-3 naval ratio.
The S30,000,000 sought for mod
ernization work would include the
re-appropriation of $6,500,0O for
the purpose of increasing the eleva-
ton of turret guns Of Is of the
treaty battleships of the navy"
which was not used during the past
year because, Mr.. DENLY said
quite unintentionally the impress
sion given congress was that the
disparity in ranges was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the British"
In the opinion of the depart
ment" the secretary declared, 1.-THE
elevation of the guns will not in
any way contravene the spirit of
letter of the treaty"
Mr.. DENLY appended to his report
a special report signed by Captain
F. H. Schofield, of the navy gegn-
eral board Analysing ain detail the
objections which had been raised
to the change in elevation, with the
conclusion that these were wholly
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-12-12

unsupported by any fair interpre-
tation of the treaty. Captain Schco-
field listed five Steps" as neces-
sary in the physical alteration of a
turret to permit the higher eleva-
ton, namely:
Increasing size of gun opening
lengthening the gun screw which
raises and lowers the breech
changing position of ammunition
hoists; increasing strength of coun-
ter-recoil system; cutting away
plates under breech.
in none of these steps, it was de-
clared, was their involved any al
teration in the general type of
mounting which constituted the
sole prohibition in the treaty at
fecting the program.
The public is very generally un-
der the impression, Captain Scho-
held continued "that the British
admiralty has stated affeciany that
by their Interpretation OF the
treaty it would be illegal for us to
change the elevations as proposed.
NO such contention has ever been
put forward by the British admir-
atty, British government, or any
other official in any government
slgnatory to the treaty.
The general intent of the treaty
was to grant to each power fuil|
right to keep step with material
and scientific progress, subject onlyI
to specific limitations. No where
IS there to be found a spirit of The
treaty which contravenes this
right"
IN addition to elevation of the
main turrets, the departments
program includes the installation
of deck sheating as an additional
defense against air attack: adding
OF "blisters" as a defense against
torpedos and the conversion of 81,
coal burning battleships to oil
burners.

sion for the hog-raising, beef pro-
duction and dairying. In some 10
calities sugar cane syrup, sweet po-
tatoes, watermellons, and other
truck crops, are receiving increas-
ed attention.
Establishments now taking
place in agriculture, say officials
of the department, draw attention
to a fact sometimes forgotten,
namely, that changes are always
going on in the basic conditions OF
farming due to the growth and dis
tdibution of population, the rise Or
fall of wages and prices, the
heightened or lessened cost of
transportation, crop pests and di-
seases, and other influence. Wide
awake farmers are quick to note
these changes and modify their pro-
duction policies accordingly. Farm
ing today is more uncertain than 1t
has been for many years. 1t IS I'M
dergoing more necessary re-adjust-
ments. Farmers who study the sit
uation, and alter their plans to suit
the circumstances, will be the first
to cut their losses on crops that for
any reason have become unprofit'
able and the first TO get their farm:

UADERG0ES CHANGES
Climatic Conditions, Markets
And Transportation Facilities
All Affect Farming

ATLANTA, Dec Although
types of farming in the United
states are more or less fixed by
necessary adoption to conditions OF
soil, climate, and markets, they are
always undergoing minor changes
and the last few years, with the I'M
precedented disturbances in COM
munity prices and in production
and transportation costs, have
brought about an unusual num-
Der or readjustments.
The United States Department
of Agriculture has obtained reports
on crop changes in many states
which give some idea of the shake
up in agriculture.
eastern farmers with "a nigh
freight rate differential in their
favor. are considering whether they
can not produce some of the feed
which they now buy an announce
ment reads. In the South, the IN
roads of the boil weeyil have COM
pened some farmers to turn from
specialization in cotton to other
crops. Flax has been successfully
substituted for wheat in a small
portion of the spring wheat region.
For many farmers flax is
highly attractive crop as substl-
tute for part of their wheat. This
was demonstrated by the cash re-
turns from the 1922 crops, which
were high for flax and low Tor
wheat. AS result, flax acreage
this year was increased to $500
600 acres from /, 100000 acres in
1922. The present flax acreage is
the largest since 1918. Yet home |
production will probably not sup
ply half the home demand. We
have imported flax every year
since 1909. Under the present tar
iff of 40 cents bushel, it is like
ly flax acreage will increase still
more.
"There has been big increase in
the number of sheep in the United
States in the last two years, under
the stimulus of tariff protection
and an active demand for wool.
Two-thirds of our sheep are raised
on the range and one-third on the
farms. Many farmers who already
have sheep can no doubt increase
their flocks with profit, say live
stock experts in the Department oil
Agriculture. Others, it is said,
could profitably add sheep to the
livestock enterprises.
"In The last year the farm price
of sheep has risen from $3.50 to
$3.50 ashead; the farm price of
wool has increased from an average
of 20 cents pound in 1922 to 80
cents in the present year. These
advances have been a loon TO many
farmeress whose major crops have
not brought good prices. Further
expansion of the sheep industry
probably would be profitable.
Another example of readjust-
ment ins farming policies due to a
changed condition is furnished by
the country along the Gulf and
Atlantic coasts, where climatic con
ditions make the fight against the
boil weevil exceptionally hard
Cotto riaereage in parts of this re-
gion has been cut so per cent.
Farmers are turning to the pro-

crops, and pasture for the extern
