URGENCY OF AIRCRAFT
TOLD ClVITAN CLUB
Dayton Man Sees Menace to Ma
tion's Defense and Trade,
in Shortage.

The consequences to be expected if
America is not properly supplied with
the necessary commercial and mill
tary aircraft were explained to men,
bers of the Civitan Club by John
Ahler, president of the Civitan Club of
Dayton, Ohio, at the meeting of the
organization in the Hotel Arlington
last night.
THE shortage of aircraft" said Mr..
Ahler, means that the United States,
unless prompt measures are taken,
will not be in a position to say
whether it will enter the next war.
The construction and operation of
aircraft on scale that we can afford
will do more to prevent war than any
other device or idea"
Mr. Ahler said further that Amer
lea is far, behind other countries in
it's aircraft program and that the
time had arrived for prompt remedial
measures.
The speaker also informed the club
of the passage of the Wadsworth bill
in the Senate, a measure designed to
create bureau of aeronautics, which
would be under the control of the
Department of Commerce.
James Proctor presided and during
the business session plans were dis
cussed for Americanization work.

Al. The percentage runOf as above
determined has been applied to the rain
fall data in the drainage basins Of the
several projects considered, namely. the
jolly Hui. River. Manning Bay. and Salt
River. proJects-See Plate A for the loca-
ton. in the case of jolly Hill basin, the
rainfall at Annually is assumed to apply
to the basin. In the case Of the River and
Manning Bay prOJeCts-these are altern-
are projects in the same baSin-OnIy the
mountain area is figured to be effective
in 50 far as run0tf is concerned, as it is
common knowledge that for the usual
rains there is no m lterial runOf from the
fiat lands. Also inasmuch as the rainfall
at Anally, viii h is near the summit. is
about 45W greater than at River, which
is at the TOO. of the mountains, it is as
sImed that the rainfall is greater for
higher elevations, ana that the mean for
the mountain area of the River or Man
ming Bay water shed is l5M greater than
at the River station. In the case Of the
Salt River drainage basin, the v alley area
is here also figured as ineffective, and the
rainfall on the mountain area Is figured
as equal 10 llS mean lUI lAG 1oIdHu, OF

DUTY OF WATER
az. Net Duty: The duty of water.
or the amount of water required per acre
has been considered with the object in
view of the greatest efficiency of water,
that is, the greatest crop production per
acre foot of water rather than the great
est production per acre of land, as the
water and not the land is the limiting
feature. There has been no irrigation on
the Island, so there is 20 local experience
from which to Judge of the crop require
ments. 1t is a fact, however, that sugar
cane. which is the principal crop of the Is
land has been raised here tor a period of
probably 200 years with their success with
out irrigation and this fact is a c%onVinc-
ing argument that the rainfall in a nor
nal year, if properly distributed, is at
least nearly sufficient for crop require
ments. In fact it is a common statement
of the planters that if they can get q lire
of rainfall day. or 365 lines per year,
and if this is properly distributed through
out the II months, they will be assured
a reasonable crop return; and 1t may be
seen from Table l that the mean rainfall
for the Island covering a " year period
is 368 lines. On the Island Of Porto Rico
where the irrigation of sugar cane is in
extensive use a law has been enacted
which provides for a duty Of irrigation
