GOVERNMENT FIGHTS
TO REUEVE HAZARD
From the Occupatioin of Farm
ing in the United
States
CROP PESTS GET
MUCH ATTENTION
Progress Being' Made but Efforts
Must be Increased
More Than Ever.
"Farming woul 1 be one of the
safest means of gaining a livelihood
mnd obtaining prosperity if it were
not for the hazards of production?
plant and animal disease, insect pests,
predatory anii.ials, rodents, etc.," says
the Secretary of Agriculture in his
recent report to the President. The
United States Department of Agriculture
is now at work, as it has
1 i? _ ? i. t
oeen ior many years, in developing1
ways and means of reducing or even
eliminating the hazards. "Notwithstanding
what has been done," lie
adds, "if the increasing population of
the nation is to be fed from the available
farm lands in the United States,
the efforts along this line must be
prosecuted more vigorously in the
future than ever before, and the
fundamental research work which
constitutes the basis of these efforts
must have proper appreciation and
support.
Disease Takes Huge Toll.
"The toll exacted by plant diseases
is appalling. It is estimated by the
department that in field diseases
were responsible for the loss of approximately
1 DO.000.000 bushels of
wheat, of 78,000,000 bushels of oats,
of 200,000,000 bushels of corn, of N(>,000,000
bushels of potatoes, of 58,000,000
bushels of sweet potatoes, of
18,000,000 bushels of apples, and of
1,742,000 bales of cotton. The cost
of producing disease and healthy
crops up to the time of.harvest is
practically the same, so it is clear
that plant diseases are a grievous and
dangerous overload on our agriculture.
"One of the most magnificent activities
which the department now has
under way is the effort to reduce the
tremendous losses from wheat rust,
aggregating in some years as much
as 200,000,000 bushels. Scientific investigation
has proven that the fungus
which is responsible for the disease
gets its start in the spring on
the common barberry plant, and a
vigorous compaign, therefore, is being
conducted, in co-operation with
the various states, to eliminate such
plants.
4,600,000 Sources Found.
More than 4,000,000 barberry bushes
have b<*en located, and of these 3,500,000
or more have been destroyed.
Progress also has been made in devolving
a method for controlling
'wheat scab, which caused in 1919 a
loss of nearly 60,000,000 bushels of
wheat; a convenient method of testing
seed corn for germination and of
oliminnfinnp flico-icn infontinn Knfrn.n I
U V* I I ^ V t 1 O V (4 PV Jill V I \ ' I I ' ) V* 1 Vil C
planting has been devised; and much
has been accomplished in working out
practical control measures for other
injurious plant diseases."
The report also discusses what the
department is doing to reduce the
losses from animal diseases, insects
predatory animals and rodents.

GOVERNMENT AIDING
STATE FARM BUREAUS
Several of the states, with the aid
?f the United States Department of
Agriculture, are establishing farm
uatri'.v ment departments. Efforts
n,me in progress to work out a system
>!' co-operation under which a maxi'Mi'-.
i amount of research work can be
lone, with an equitable division of
expenses between the Federal and
St;?te Governments.
The Colleges of Agriculture in Arkansas
and Mississippi have established
departments of farm management
and home ect nomics. Every effort
is beinjr made by these departments,
and in other states by the
United States Department of Apiculture
co-operating with state colleges,
to assist farmers in their problems
of management. This is accomplished
by distribution of farm account
books, supplemented by surveys,
lectures, correspondence, newspaper
articles, bulletins and circular
letters.
An important phase of this work is
the training of county agents and
other instrumentalities to bring to
farmers in terms of their own business
the principles of efficient organization
and management. Instruction
is given to groups rather than individuals.
Although this program has
not been put in full operation in some
states, the demonstrators in 26 commonwealths,
co-operating with the department
during the last year, have
worked with more than 52,000 grouped
farmers.
Business men, as well as farmers,
are becoming more interested in farm
management problems, as the result,
| the department specialists say, of
economic conditions brought about by
the war. This, together with the need
of farm accounts made necessary by
the income tax law, is making farm
management wovk one oi me most
important extension projects.

REPORT OF BUREAU
OF CONSTRUCTION
Says Nearly 203 Warships
Completed for Navy in
Past Year.
Washington, Dec. 15.?Nearly 200
warships, including one s u per dreadnaught
and 96 destroyers, were completed
for the American navy during
the fiscal year ending June 30, an 1
more than 100 others, including eleven
superdreadnaughts and six great
battle cruisers, were building at that
i time.
This is shown in the annual report
of Rear Admiral David W. Taylor,
chief of the bureau of construction
and repair, to Secretary Daniels. For
continuing work on the ships building,
Admiral Taylor estimated that
$119,000,000 would be required during
the fiscal year beginning next June
30. This compares with $59,000,000
last year and is the largest total ever
proposed by the American navy in
peace time for continuing construction.
It is explained by the fact that
work on many of the crafts authorized
in the 191C> building program
was halted during the war.
Admiral Taylor's report also disclosed
that the navy department is
engaged in developing and constructing
new types of aircraft, including
great rigid and semi-rigid airships
and seaplanes similar to those which
undertook the trans-Atlantic flight
Ip.st year. Besides the dirigible which
is building in England, for the United

Airplanes and seaplanes building
include four of t^e N C type for so.
vice with the battle fleet, making a
total of eight of this class. In the
four new craft now building are embodied
the lessons learned in the
trans-Atlantic flight.
The navy also is building a snv.ll
number of interchangeable land airplanes
and seaplanes for the marine
corps and two types of torpedo carrying
seaplanes, one to be all of metal
construction.
Large Seaplane.
"To provide a large seaplane for
fleet use," says Admiral Taylor, "the
bureau undertook the development of
a design for a seaplane larger than
any in existence, a 60,000-pound flying
boat. The design embodied several
new features, including metal
wings and a unique power plant of
nine Liberty engines in three groups,
each group being geared to a single
propeller."
Admiral Taylor devotes part of his
report to tests conducted with some
of the German submarines turned
over to the United States for experimental
purposes, and says on the
basis of these tests that "on the
whole these vessels could not be said
to be superior in design and capabilities
to corresponding vessels of the
United States navy."

3,500.000 Facing Starvation Can
Only Be Saved by America's
Response to Joint Appeal.
,
It Is utterly Impossible for one who
hns not actually sien th?? mi?orv nt
the early Autumn in Europe to visualI
ize what the children of the Eastern
and Central portions of the continent
face this winter. To say that 3.500,000
children have no alternative to starva
tlon or death from disease except
American aid, is startling, but independent
observers hy tlie score and careful
scientific surveys of the economic
and crop conditions overseas brand
the figure as conservative.
In Poland, ior Instance, v! ere 1,308,000
youngsters last year subsisted :ilmost
entirely on the one free Ainerl:
can meal a day that they received, conI
dlti? ns as winter closes down, ure
worse than ever before. The Bolshevik
invasion stripped large p >rtions of
the country of all gruiu. Professor
E. D. Durand, Pood Advisor to the
Polish government, after an exhaustive
survey, has reported that only forty
per ce?t Is available of the food necessary
to carry the population through
the winter.
In the city of Vienna tests conducted
in the American Kellef Administration
food kitchens showed that f>2 per cent
of the children between the ages of 0
and 14 were "seriously under-nourish
ed." Thirty-three per cent were mark
edly under-nourished, 11 per cent were
slightly subnormal and only 4 per cent
approached the state of a normal
American child. The Ameri a^j Itelief
Administration is feeding 300,000
Austrian children every day now, am)
1 there Is no chance of dlmunltion of
need before nex linnet.
The spectacle of the medical ne<?ds
of Europe's children Is equally ap

Is prevalent lo a terrldlc degree.
