Defends Security Plea.
Great Britain, Mr.. Bridgeman told
the newspaper men, is seeking only
TO maintain her security through a
feet of small-sized defensive war
ships" Referring to the demands of
the United States for larger-slZed
cruisers, he declared it was 1mpossl-
BILE to reduce the total tonnages IN
the various categories If the maximum
tonnage of individual warships is to
be extended until the craft became
aggressive types.
He recalled the speech at the Wash
ington naval conference of Lord Bal
four as showing better than he could
that the United States was secure be-
cause it is self-contained and self-sup-
porting, but that his country was in
difficult position inasmuch as she
never had more than seven weeks
food supply at one time. He was
speaking at this point to substantlate
Great Britain's claim that a large
fleet of small cruisers was necessary
to assure communications at all times.
Asked whether Great Britain would
scrap her 10,000-ton cruisers II an
agreement were reached for small YES
sells in this class, he answered: 1T
would be very easy for nations that
haven't any of these ships to scrap
them" -Apparently abiding to the
fact that the United States has no
10 .000-ton cruisers in commission.
The japanese delegation generally
favors a reduction in the size of each
type of surface craft.
But" said a japanese spokesman,
"we want a real limit on total tonnage
also. We have not deviated from our
original proposals in that regard"
Japan has suggested that a total of
$50, 900 tons be accepted by the United
States and Great Britain for cruisers
and destroyers combined, while Japan
would have little more than 300, 900
tons.

DISCUSSION NOW DISCOUNTED.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Government has not
in the past refused to take up the
question of the size of capital ships
at an appropriate time, it was said
today at the State Department.
No battleship can be laid down
under the Washington treaty by
Great Britain, America or Japan until
1881 and for that reason, it was said,
the Washington Government had seen
no advantage in taking up the matter
at this time.
Mystificatlon was expressed by
spokesman of the Government over
the British insistence on a cruiser
tonnage of 100000, in view of the
fact that the British were credited
with approving the original American
plan at the Washington conference
to limit auxiliary surface craft to
100000 tons.
No direct reference was made at
the State Department to the remarks
yesterday of the first lord of the
admiralty at Geneva, which charac-
terized 10,000-ton cruisers as "ag-
gressive," although it was said Great
Britain did agree at the Washington
conference to the 10000 maximum
limitation and raised no question at
that time or the aggressive charac-
ter of that type.
Officials also were inclined to call
attention to the fact that Great
Britain alone has ships of this type
actually in the water, The objection
to the 10,000ton ship stated by the
British spokesman appeared to rankle
in the minds of Washington officials,
because it was held the British pro.
gram was largely responsible for the
American efforts to obtain a three
power limitation agreement.
1t was said at the department that
Ambassador Gibson had been informed
that the Washington Government could
see very little advantage in the way
Of naval economy to be gained from
a cruiser tonnage for Great Britain
and the United States above 400, 200
tons, but it was denied that this was
an ultimatum.

ELECTRICAL POWER
| AN AID TO FARMERS
Method Adopted in Operating
ThreSherS and Other In
duStrieS in rs States.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 9.-The age
of electricity is dawning rapidly on
the farm.
Four years ago the University of
Minnesota established the first rural
electritication project in the Nation at
Red Wing. Mimi. Today there are
% such projects in as many States,
all experimenting with application
of electric energy to the tasks of
agriculture.
Farmers in more than n score OF
States. says Prof. f. A. Stewart. SUI
pevisor of the Red Wing station, are
using electricity to operate threshing
machines. ensilage cutters, pumps,
hay lifts. barn ventilators. feed grind
ers. milking machines. saws, grain
cleaners. root cutters and refrige-
rators. as we'll as household devices.

Poultry Raisers Interested.

Minnesota poultry farms doing an
nual businesses approximating $780,
900 are experimenting with electrical
devices. according to Stewart, and
have already found that electrically
heated incubators produce high per-
centage matches of we'll developed
chicks, and that the electric lighting
of poultry houses during the Winter
increases egg production by four or
five eggs month for each hen.

Outstanding Features.

Outstanding developments, Stewart
says. are the successful application
of electrical power to dairy barn VEN
tilation. to dairy refrigeration and to
poultry raising.
Refrigeration is becoming a vital
problem on dairy farms. Stewart
points out. Until lately the farmer
could refrigerate his products by put
ting them into a pail at the bottom
OF we'll rope. But now dairying is
becoming a big business-it neared
the $200,000,000 mark last year in
Minnesota-and more elaborate COOL
