Washington.?Failure of the Navy
Department to give prompt and full j
cooperation in the war during the
first six months after the United |
States entered the struggle, pre- j
vented a victory over Germany by
July, 1 18, Rear Admiral William S. .
Sims, told the Senate investigating |
committee in supporting his charges ,
of delay against the department.
'It is no light matter that cost the
the cause with which we were a'lied
half a million lives, fifteen b'lliins
of dollars and 2,500,000 tons of ship
ping," ihc said.
'The officer first read to the commie
toe recommendations he had
made to the department iturned ately
vpon his arrival in D~ndon in 1917.
They were long and fid I of technicalities,
but sharply brought out his
conclusion or defeat was to be deli
miined by the German submarine
campaign which was concentrated in
the eastern Atlantic where all shipping
routes to England and France
converged.
Failure of the Navy Department
to throw the full force of the navy
irto the struggle, he said, resulted
in the unnecessary loss of 1,500,009
tins of shipping by submarine attack
in 1917 and 1,000,000 tons in
1918.

'If the tonnage, lost in 1917 had
been saved by the prompt cooperation
of the navy," he said. "America
could have had a million men in j
Franco at the beginning of 191b instead
of 300,000,"
Admiral Sims said the German offensive
of 1918 was dun to the failore
of the German submarine cam- |
puign, and that in all probability it
never would have been undertaken
and the morale of the German people
would have broken if the American

possibility of obtaining nece sary '

"All of these plans should have'
been worked out long before we entered
the war" said Admiral Sims,
"and shouhl have been placet! in effect,
in substance at least, the day

Calls an Ambassador. [
Admiral Sims said that when he
found that his own efforts to im?
- xr
press upon uit* r\u.vy ut-puiuucub
the seriousness of the situation were
unavailing he invoked the aid of the 1
late Ambassador Page at London,
who on April 27, 1917, sent a confidential
cablegram to Secretary Lansing
and President Wilson 'declaring
that "there is reason for the greatest
alarm about the issue of the
war, caused by the inceasing success
of German submarines."
Declaring that British anti-submarine
forces were entirely unable
to stem the rising tide of sinkings,
the ambassador urged the immediate
assignment of every available United
States destroyer and submarine
chaser to British waters.
Even this request went unhcode-1,
for some months, Admiral Sims
said.
The witness read a message to the
departments in 1917 saying the j
British government "appreciated"
what the United States was doing
to keep down submarines.
"Incidentally," he added, "tha' is
a case of international politeness.
They were thanking us for sending
six destroyers." I
Admiral Sims insisted that he had
been badly handicapped by failure of
the department to keep him informed
of its plans. He read excerpts
from his messages urging adoption
oi the convoy system and said: i
"I will show that great losse3
w ere sustained due to the resistance ,
of the United States to taking up
the convoy system."
He then read a department message
sent him in May, signed by
Secretary Daniels. "In regard to
convoy" it read, "I consider American
vessels having armed guards are
safer when sailing independently.
"When I got that message I was
about ready to jump overboard," con
tinuod Admiral Sims. "I realized
that the department did not understand
or appreciate the situation."

S W. Epps of Dillon County is putting
purebred com and g< o .l selffeeders
for hogs on the faimi of
Dillon County by means of very effective
demonstrations. Not being
able to induce his farmers to f'eklselect
their seed corn, he conceived
the idea of getting the farmers to
buy at least one bushel of seed
corn from the Pee Dee Exneiiment
I
(Station at Florence in the adjoining1
county. In this way he is showing
( his farmers the value of purebred
corn as compared with ordinary
mixed seed.
| Knowing the economic value of
the self-feeded and the scarcity of
efficient labor, he has built a selffeeder
in his own pasture, which is
on a main traveled read, hoping
i that it would attract attention. Hie
; hopes are being so largely just'fied
that in a very short while he has
had many farmers call for help in
building self-feeders for hogs.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT 1
FERTILIZING TOBACCO 1
Clcmson College.?As a g norrl
lule, the farmer should buy and mix |
his own tobacco fertilizers. This is
not practicable at all times, and
fertilizers may be bought from reliable
manufacturers, who generoll;
arc willing to incorporate any ingedients
desired by the buyer. Care <
fertilizer that materials frcm whi?h <
they are made are derived from the j
should be taken in buying tobacco <
right source. The phosphorus in i
tobacco fetilizer is generally ob- l
tained from 14 per cent to lf> pe ]
ctnt acid phosphate, while the nitro- <
gen is obtained from dried blood.. ]
-P. 4 1 44 I
iimi scrap, laiiKiige, conon secu
meal, and sulphate of ammonia. The ?
use of nitrate of soda under tobacco
except in very rare cases is not 1
recommended. Dried ground blo:d
ir almost as quickly available as so
da and should compose at least one- ,
half of the nitrogen in tobacco fer- ,
tilizers. The other half may be ob- ]
tained from the sources n^med |
above, giving cotton seed meal the
preference.
Potash in the form of sulphate <
only should be used. Muriates and
kninit should not be used, as they <
contain chlorin, which lends to injure
the burning qualities of tobacco.
The presence of chlorin is
shown by the black ashes produced
in burning. ?
Stable manure may be used in
small quantities or in compost at
the rate of from three to five loads
per acre, But too much stable manure
tends to cause fungus diseases
on the gowing tobacco. The best
way to use stable manure when used
by itself is to chop it finely and row
in the drill at the rate of from
three to five loads per acre. At.otho,
good method is to make compost
heaps with woods-mcld or the top
soil from the woods, and stable ma
nure. This compost should have
been made early in January or February
and should be applied in the
drill when the fertilizer is put down,
or before.
A second application of fetilizer
to tobacco is not advised, as th s is
likely to cause what tobacco planters
call "second growth," and this is
not desirable. The fertilizers under
tobacco should be nearly exhausted
by the time the tobacco commences
