GIANT TORPEDO
HAS GREAT RANGE
THE NEW IMPLEMENT OF WAR
MAKES AMERICA EQUAL TO
OTHERS.

NEWPORT, Nov. S.-A new giant
torpedo designed for use in the Unit
ed States Navy, was tested recently
in Sag harbor by the officials of the
Bliss-Leavitt Company, under super
vision of several navy experts. It
is now declared that the new torpedo
will place United States on an equal
footing with any other power in this
exceptionally important department
of the war game.
The new torpedo is of the turbine
pattern, and is twenty-one feet long.
Fired several times at thirty.two
knots speed, it traversed more than
10000 yards. At twenty-seven knots
it made a range of more than 5000
yards.
At the present time the battleships
and armored cruisers of the navy are
mostly equipped with torpedoes that
have a speed of thirty-fve knots and
go 5000 yards. Destroyers carry
the Whiteheads, which have a speed
of thirty-seven knots and go more
than 1000 yards.

RECORD BREAKING
QUAIL SEASON
OPENS ON NOVEMBER IS WITH
PLENTY OF BIRDS Is
REPORT.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 7.-Sprotsmen
are getting ready for the quail hunt
ing season which will begin Nov. Is
and last until March 1. Not for years
have there been so many birds. Coun-
ties from all over the State report
that this will be a record breaking
season as the dry weather that has
prevailed through the summer gave
the young birds chance to mature
before the severe weather set in.
The laws that were passed at the
last legislature have put stop to
the trapping of quail and robins for
market purposes, and this, too, will
give the huntsmen more birds.
1t is reported that the residents
shooting license will be strictly en-
forced this year as the department of
game fish and forestry's revenues
will be greatly lessened by the act
that prevented the trapping of birds.
One of the main sources of the de-
partment's revenue was from the
game dealers license. The residents
license cost SO and will be good in
any section of the State, and will be
good until July 1, thereby covering
the entire shooting season.

THIN GRAY RANKS
GROWING THINNER
RAPIDLY CROSSING TO THE BE-
YOND ARE OLD CONFED-
CRATES.

NASHVILLE, Nov. THE old Con-
federate soldiers in Tennessee are
dropping off faster than ever before
in the history of the State. The
quarterly report of the Confederate
pension board submitted to Comptrol-
Ter Dibrell through it's secretary, John
P. Hickman, shows that during the
past three months 101 pensioners
have crossed the bar According to
the board that is large number for
three months.
The action of the board during the
session just concluded reveals some
interesting facts. One of the most
significant was that no widows were
added to the list. It is probable that
none will be given pensions before
1913, when the legislature meets
gain. The board has no money for
the widows of old soldiers. The leg
islature failed to appropriate on &C
count of the cutting in appropriations
found necessary to make the appro-
priations conform with the estimated
revenues.
One hundred and twenty-tbree
names were added to the list. All OF
these were old soldiers given PEN
sions Of the third class. Six were re-
stored to the roll; four were sent to
the Confederate Soldiers Home near
the Hermitage.

SCIENTISTS TRYING
TO DEVELOP GRAIN
SCIENTISTS SEEKING CoNSORT
FOR QUEEN BLUESTEM
WHEAT.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 6.-Scient-
lists OF prominence are searching the
grain belts of the Pacific slope and
lntermountain country to secure a
proper consort for Queen Bluestem,
the royal wheat of the inland empire
and the Northwest. The success of
the quest will mean millions of dol
lars annually to farmers in the West
ern country. The grain is higher in
protein than other wheats; it makes
more -four because of increased glu-
ten values; consequently, it sells at
from 2 to 4 cents more than the next
best varieties.
Turkey Red wheat has been com.
bined with Bluestem at the expert
ment station farm in connection with
the Washington State college at Pull
man, and produced this year SO bush
els to the acre. The milling quail
ties are high, the only drawback be-
ing that the wheat is dark.
Bluestem is not as prolific in yield
as Ded Russian or the hybrid wheats,
which produce from rs to 40 bushels
Ito the acre. Eighteen to rs bushels
an acre has been made in the Big
Bend district, west of Spokane,
where, if it can be used in a hybrid
{, the production would be increased
from 10000 to 100000 bushels an
nually.
Prof, Olson, who originated the
new hybrid, called Turkey-Bluestem,
and exhibited specimens at recent
| fairs, has not distributed any of the
seed to farmers, as other tests are
to be made. This also is true of
scores of other new hyrids develop
! ed at the state college.
Few persons in the cities realize
the Importance of the wheat and 9TH
er Investigations carried on by ex-
pertinent stations" said Arthur Won
settler, but the farmers of the West
are watching the work with interest
Just as the advantageous union pro-
notes the welfare of the nations con-
cerned so the proper mating of the
varieties of wheats will benefit not
only the people of the Northwest, but
all over America
