Since the Introduction Of gunpowder
as a propeller and the general use Of
firearms in warfare and hunting, there
has been a more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter a number of
shots at his command without reload
ing, and enable them to be rapidly dis
charged The first patent for a fire
arm of this description seems to have
been issued by the British patent Of
fee in 1918, to James Puckle, a citi-
zen of London, for a gun mounted
upon a tripod, having a single barrel
and a revolving cylinder Strangely
enough, one of the claims set forth in
this patent appears almost verbatim,
1870 years later, in patent taken out
by Rollin White, an American invent.

rious claim of the patent was:
The mechanism permits the use of

But the farmer who owned the next

So he gave his sons orders to shoot

Along came Mr.. Pounds, enraged.

TEST YOUR SEED CORN.

Jno. r. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
lnquiry-When and how would you
test seed corn?
Since this is the season of the year
when farmers can find more time
than others, it is good time to carry
on termination tests. Prepare boxes
or hot bed, use sand preferably as a
seed bed, plant from 6 to 10 grains of
corn from each ear to be tested, TAX
ing the grains from various points on
the ear; keep temperature, if posi-
BILE, above 60 degrees. Before plant
ing be sure to properly mark the ears
and the rows planted with grains
therefrom. A good way to mark the
ears is to take small nail and fasten
a piece of cardboard to each ear by
driving nail in the butt of the ear.
On this board place a number cores
ponding to a number placed at the
head of the row.
Let the terminated corn grow long
enough to develop a root system.
Discard all ears showing less than 80
per cent termination. Examine the
remainder to see which show the best
root development, dicarding those
showing the poorest. The corn plants
should have not only primary root
but at least three secondary roots.
1t is better to select an ear that
shows so per cent, termination and
so per cent. root development than to
select an ear with 100 per cent ger
mination and 60 per cent root devel
opment.
Do not plant a single ear which you
have not thus tested 1t will take on
ly a short time. From 10 to ii ears
of corn will plant an acre and, of

The Georgia State College of Agri
culture has succeeded in developing
through selection, a strain of cotton
which is practically resistant to anth-
racnose, fungus disease now esti-
mated to be damaging Georgia cotton
to the exent of about $10,000,O00 a
year.
AS fast as the growth of this SUI
perior strain of cotton can be pushed
the seed will be distributed through
out the state for the advantage of the
farmers.
At present only limited amount of
seed can be sent out and then only by
agreement to grow it under the terms
laid down by the college, the purpose
being to hasten the widespread ad-
vantage of growing this cotton.

COTTON RESISTANT no ANTHRACNOSE
Ry Presldent Andrew M.

AnoreW NJ. SouIe.
Reports received by the College
from various parts of Georgia show a
widespread loss during this year, due
especially to the unusually wet grow
ing season. The fungus known as
anthracnose. thrives especially during
moist weather.
The seed to be planted next season
should be selected from plants which
have withstood the disease and be-
fore planting, the formaldehyde treat
ment should be given to destroy the
spore of the fungus that is doubtless
frequently carried to new fields in
the seed.
The stalks of affected plants should
be burned, and it is better to plant
some other crop in the field for two
or three years.

Chef may be substituted for the rose
shown here. By the use of judiciOus
ly adjusted chains REINFORCED with
rows of double or triple crochet made
to look like scallops it may be worked
out to form an oblong piece of crochet.
This supplies one side of the bag.
Rows of chains or scallops are run
around the edge when the two sides

crocheting needle in row of single
crochet.

seven and catching it in the center of
the chain beneath it.
A square is first crocheted of these
chains, and then the sides of the bag
are crocheted around and around that.
A piece of cardboard padded and Gov

of the bag. This square is scented and
made the same size as folded hand
