BIG HAY CROP
WORRIES FARMERS

Although prospects are good for a
big hay crop in Delaware this year, the
farmers, it seems ars not as we'll
pleased with the outlook as one would
suppose. The question they ask Isl:
What are we going 20 do with it? The
American farmer does not like work
any better than any other class Of pee
pie, and this is what is troubling him.
He would rather raise half crop Of
hay and get a good price for it than
a big crop and get a low price for it,.
He has learned from hard experience
that every year there is a good crop Of
hay. the price drops and he has to do
a great deal more work in harvesting
it. and has just the same amount of
money in the end than if he raised a
small crop.
While this argument may not look
very substantial to one who is not ac-
Guainted with the situation. the farm
ers have tested it and the majority
have arrived at the same conclusion.
TheDss, however, a way in which this
can be overcome in a measure, and
that is by feeding the hay to stock
Many have tested this plan, too, but it
does not work satisfactorily for them,
as they must increase and decrease

NEW RIFLES ARE
POWERFUL WEAPONS

The new Springfield -ifles with which
the Organized Militia of Delaware has
been equipped are such powerful
weapons as to practically destroy the
present equipment Of rife ranges. In
addition, their carrying power is so
great as to fairly preclude their use in
built up sections. II is hard 10 convey
TO the layman an adequate idea of the
tremendous energy exerted each time
the trigger was pulled. The nickel
iacketed bullet leaves the muzzle Of
the rifle at a rate of 200 feet per Sec
ond, and although the energy dimin-
ishes every second, vet the bullet Will
be thrown about three miles. and even
then have enough force to kill a man
if he should be hit by H.. The gun is
sighted to 2S50 yards only, but is rarely
used at more than 1900 ards.
An effort is being made to get special
ammunition for target practice. using
a lighter projectile and a smaller
charge Some Inspectors Of Small
Arms Practice declare that such am
munition is an absolute necessity, os
the present cartridges are entirely too
dangerous for use in any other manner
than that of actual warfare.
