SALVAG|NG FLEET
 TAKES SIX YEARS
S2,MO,000 Spent on German Ships Sunk at Scapa Flow

London, Sept. CUP) - Eleven years ago the huge German fleet, still proud in defeat, rode the waves in Scapa Flow.
 It was a pleasant sight to British admiralty eyes. The fight had been hard. The spells of victory would be sweet.
 Then suddenly one of the battle cruisers lurched forward and be- gan settling into the sea. Others followed and before the astonished eyes of British seamen the fleet disappeared below the waves.
 The Germans had opened the seacocks. They had scuttled their craft as a last act of defiance.
 After recovering from their amazement the admiralty officers turned their thoughts and energies to having the ships salvaged.
 Veteran shipping men and others contemplated the task but made no bids. Year after year the ships lay snugly in Davy Jones Locker. When the admiralty had all but abandoned hope of realizing on their victory, E. F. Cox, in his late thirties, made an offer. It was quickly accepted.
 Then Cox began a task which has been watched with interest oy the shipping world because of the many difficult obstacles that lay Ill the path of success.
 Gathering around him some of the best engineers and divers in Europe, Cox directed the work to date has resulted in bringing to the surface later to be junked three battle cruisers, one battleship, one light cruiser and 25 destroyers.
 Although he knew comparatively little about salvage operations, Cox realized he needed more than the usual equipment and purchased the submarine floating dock the Ger mans had used, which he used in raising the destroyers.
 One of the most difficult tasks in the entire operation, it is said. was that of closing all deck and hull apertures left open when the fleet was scuttled.
 Cox's determination was dis played while attempting to salvage the battle cruiser Hindenburg, weighing 2S,oo0 tons. After months of hard work it had been raised to the surface but developed a dangerous list and had to be drop ped back again to the ocean floor.
 Later, in order to counteract this list, CoX's workmen built onto the Hindenburg's side a block of con- crete weighing 5000 tons. On be- ing re-foated, she developed a star board list. Once more the cruiser was dropped and another concrete block built. This done the linden burg floated.
 Six years have passed since Cox began his operations. His firm has spent to date more than s2,- 100000. The profits are not known.

Fertilization to Supply
Needed Potash for Corn

Premature dying Of corn plants in
black sandy soils may be due to de-
flciency of potash In the soil, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The corn plants may develop
well during the Seeding and early
growth periods and attain normal size,
but before killing frosts they break
over. the leaves die suddenly and
the ears remain incompletely devel-
oped with soft cobs and chaffy grains.
Such ears suffer further losses from
weathering and ear rots. Experiments
conducted in Indiana, where premature
dying of corn Is prevalent. showed
that the continued removal of crop
residues and the use of fertilizers con-
tanning only phosphates aggravate the
trouble. Control measures, says the
Department Of Agriculture. include fer
tilization to supply the needed potash,
changes in crop-resldue disposal. and
selection of locally adapted seed.

Useful Orchard Ladder
Is Easily Made at Home

Handy orchard ladders may be con-
structed from materials on the farm.
Conrad L. Kuehner, extension horti-
culturist at the state university, has
plans for constructing a simple port
able step ladder to accommodate two
people. These may be obtained by
writing to the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture.
The ladder is safe, and does not
damage branches or cause fruit to fall
while the picker is adjusting it.
By giving the incline just enough
slant so that the workers knees may
rest on the rung above his feet, both
hands may be employed in picking
fruit.
1t Is very easy to construct by fol-
lowing the plans furnished by the
horticulture department. The only
precaution necessary. Kuehner points
out. is to use good. strong. straight
grain lumber which should be securely
nailed and braced.

Spray Controls
Bacterial Spot
Disease of Peaches Found
in Orchards in Differ
ent Sections.

~ y
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A new spray containing zinc and lime
which promises to give commercial
control Of bacterial spot of peaches
has been developed by the United
States Department of Agriculture. This
discovery is especially important, since
this Is the first time, so far as known,
that a bacterial disease of fruits has
been brought under direct control by
spraying.
Disease Long Known.
Bacterial spot has been known to
plant-disease specialists for about 20
years. but it is only within the past
10 or IL years that the disease has
become seriously destructive over ex-
tensive areas. IT occurs in practically
all peach sections of the eastern half
Of the country, but causes serious loss
mainly in sections In which the soils
are light and comparatively low in
fertility.
Tests carried on in southern Indiana
and in Arkansas have shown that six
applications of the spray at intervals
of two weeks. beginning at petal fall"
greatly decrease the effects of the dis
ease with no injury to fruit or foliage.
In addition there was stimulation
which resulted in larger and darker
green leaves. 1t was found also that
lead arsenate might be used in connec-
tion with this material, thus reducing
labor costs.
Its Composition.
The spray solution is prepared by
using pounds of zinc sulphate, 4
pounds of hydrated lime. and so gal
Ions Of water. One pound Of aluminium
sulphate may be added where agita-
tion is poor or entirely lacking, as this
helps to keep the material in susper-
sion.
One of the first recommendations in
the control Of bacterial spot of peaches
Is to keep the orchard in high state
OF vigor through good cultivation,
pruning, fertilization. control of bor-
ers. ETC.. In Spraying it is necessary
to cover the fruit and the under side
of the leaves thoroughly.
