For the past few weeks, and ¢ipet |
| cially since Congress has recessed for |
the summer, one question which has
[been especially in the public eye is
[that of further limitation of arma-
iments. The report that Ramsay Mac-
{ Donald, the new British premier,
|would visit the United States in the
near future and confer personally
| with President Hoover on the naval
| situation was hailed with general
| satisfaction.

In view of this, therefore, it may be
well to point out a few facts which
too often been unheeded or pass-
ed over as unimportant. In the first
place it is to be conceded that the
| American government and the Amer-
ican people are in favor of naval lim-
|itation, providing always that Amer-
ica keeps a navy as effective as the
|
titled by all the rules of the game.
It may be conceded also that the Bri-
| tish people as a whole might welcome
{a plan which would reduce the burden
|of naval taxation. But it is to be
| his government are not on a very firm
| footing. His is a minority govern-
ment at best and depends on the favor
of minority factions in the British
parliament. With some of this sup-
port withdrawn the Labor government
of Mr. MacDonald would come crash-
ing to earth. Therefore Mr. Mac-
Donald’s hands are tied and he has
It must be remembered
also that behind Mr. MacDonald is the
British naval tradition with centuries
of sea domination. This tradition
permeates the whole British race and
for this reason no question which Mr.
MacDonald has to tackle is more filled
with dynamite than that of doing
something toward relinquishing Bri-
tish supremacy on the sea. It is to
be remembered again that we in
America have a naval tradition, too,
and that any agreement entered into
will have to pass the test of the Unit-
ed States Senate.
For the reasons recited and ‘or
many more, therefore, it will not do
to take it for granted that a final so-
lution of the naval question is at
hand. Much more stormy sea must
be travelled and many more thrills
and disappointments will have to pe
encountered before the goal of cquit-
able limitation is finally reached.
For example: the British navy is now

Mr. Lohr spoke of the necessity of
having a definite program of work in
order to carry on a herd building pro-
gram. J. C. Saylor issued an invita-
tion to hold the picnic at his place for
the year 1930.. It was accepted.
Jersey Cattle Club Picnic
J. C. Weicht, secretary of the State
Jersey Cattle club, attended the Som-
erset Jersey Cattle club picnic at the
farm of W. E. Shockey, near Berlin.
Mr. Weicht stated that the State Hol-
stein association feels that a construec-
tive program is one of the most im-
portant phases of herd improvement.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: P. S. Sayler, presi-
dent; John Barron, vice president and
R. S. Stewart, secretary-treasurer.
Renew Strawberry Bed Now For
Best Results
“Shall I plow down the old straw-
berry bed or renew it for another
crop?”
Answering this question that if the
patch is relatively free from weeds,
the stand good, and the soil fertile
and well-supplied with organic mat-
ter, it will probably be worth-while to
renew the bed for another crop. On
the other hand, if the bed be very
weedy, the stand irregular, and the
soil lacking in humus, it is not likely
to be profitable to try to get another
crop from it next year.
. Renew Beds Early
If the patch is to be renewed, the
work should be done as soon as pos-
sible. The first step usually consists
of mowing the patch, keeping the
knife high enough to prevent any in-
jury to the strawberry crowns. After
the leaves have dried somewhat, the
bed may be burned over, preferably
on a day when a breeze will carry the
blaze rapidly. On a still day when
the patch is very dry, the blaze may
do considerable harm to the plants.
If the patch has been relatively free
from diseases and insects, the mowing
and burning may be omitted.
Enough of the mulch should be re-
moved so that it does not seriously
interfere with cultivation. The row
can then be narrowed down to 10 to
12 inches with a plow or harrow, and
the soil between the rows thoroughly
cultivated. Within the row the plants
should be thinned to five to eight in-
ches apart and all of the old original
plants removed. It may be well to
leave the plants at one side of the
original row to insure that none of
the old plants will be left.

superior to ours in the matter of

teen cruisers now provided for the
British navy will still be superior to
ours in cruisers. Therefore if equal- |
ity is to be established, Great Britain |
will have to cut down its number of |
cruisers and it remains to be seen |
whether Mr. MacDonald with his deli- |
cate grip on the government of Great |
Britain will be able to “put over” any
such program on the British admiral-
ty. For certainly the United States
will not consent to a condition of in-
feriority. Such a procedure would be
worse than foolish—it might well
{prove fatal to our further security
and progress.
