THE NAVY SHELLS o. h.
Experts Answer Recurring Charges
TO The Contrary.

Ordnance experts at the Navy De
partment have said there is absolutely
no basis for reports printed in New
York yesterday that the armor-pierc-
ing shells used by the United States
Navy is Intellectual.
Officers called attention to the fact
that these charges have been circula-
ted for many years, and reappear each
year at about the time Congress is to
reassemble. The Navy Department
has made many tests of high explos-
ives and piercing shells, and
the experts have decided on each oc-
casion that the type used by the navy
is superior to the others.
Concerning the report that foreign
navies have no further use for the ar
NOR piercing shells. the Navy Depart
ment has figures showing that several
thousand of this type have been con-
tracted for in this country within the
last few months

does occasionally take place between
tobacco plants in the same or neigh.
boring fields. If crossing is to be pre-.
vented special precautions must be
taken. Even crossing between select.
ed seed plants should be avoided, for
plants which seem to belong to ex.
actly the same type may be different
in their internal makeup and if allowed
to cross the farmer win really be
growing hybrids.
A cheap and effective method of
preventing crossing is to cover the
flower head with a 12-pound manila
paper bag such as is used in grocery
stores. The bag should be placed over
the flower head at about the time
blooming begins. If any blossoms
have already opened it is important
that these be removed when applying
the bag. The suckers and small
leaves just below the flower head
proper are removed and the mouth of
the bag securely tied to the stalk Just
beneath the lower branches of the
flower head
After week or ten days the bags
should be taken off temporarily. the
dead blossoms shaken out and the bags
readjusted to accommodate the growth
of the seed head. The seed heads
should be examined from time to time
and any bags which become torn
should be replaced with new ones. It
is well to leave the bags on the seed
heads till the seed are shelled out so
as to prevent loss or mixing of seed.

IMPROVING TIE TOBACCO
CROP BY SELECTION
Seed Should Be Selected From i'm
proved Type OF Plants In Crow
ers Own Fields.

One OF the simplest and cheapest
methods Of improving the value of the
average tobacco crop in Maryland is
TO select good seed plants, choosing
only those plants which conform 10 q
definite type considered as the ideal.
Having fixed on a definite type OF
plant as the ideal. it should be closely
followed year after year and no plant
should be used for seed which does
not conform to this type. In this way
the inferior strains in the mixed type
viii be weeded out and the crop win
become more uniform from year to
year if the selection is done with
proper care. The field should be gone
over several times and large num-
Der of plants selected in the beginning.
BY further observation and study the
number of selected plants can be
gradually reduced till the right mum
Der for seed is reached.
The advantages of selecting good
seed plants, true 10 type. are lost il

TO occur. Some crop plants appear to
be benefited by free crossing between
plants but this is not the case with to

Station.

The principle of fattening poultry Ia
rather simple one, although its ap
plication may seem somewhat com
plicated. Naturally the thing desired
is to get the fowls to consume as large
amount of feed as possible. 1t would
seem that in order to do this. feed
should be kept before the birds at all
times so that they could help them
selves at any time This does not
hold true. In order to get birds. or
most any animal, for that matter. to
consume a large amount of feed YOU
viii have to keep their appetites on
edge. If you keep palatable food be-
fore them all the time they soon tire
of IT, They just eat and eat and eat
at first and finally the feed becomes
distasteful to them Fed this way they
viii eat lot for a time, but in the
long run win not eat nearly as much
as If they were fed more iudiciously.
In feeding fattening poultry always
see that they are hungry for each
meal. This means that you will not
at any time feed them more than they

In as much as poultry is usually fat.
tened to sell as market birds we wish
to get them in condition with as little
expense as possible. We do not have
the problems TO contend with in grow
ing the chicks or feeding for egg pro-
duction. therefore we can feed much
simpler rations.
We do not have to supply much
protein to fattening birds. therefore
the cheapest feeds can be used. Corn
and its products are favorite fattening
foods. A simple and efficient ration "a
as follows:
Corn meal and wheat middlinxa
mixed up with milk or butter milk
makes an almost ideal fattenine
ration If milk is n1 available add
about pounds of meat scrap or meal
to 100 pounds of corn meal and mid.
dlings and mix uD with water.

ARGUE OVER SUBMARINES.
Naval Officers Assert That Maneuy-
ers Bring Out Defects.

AS a result of the present maneuv-
ers of the Atlantic battleship fleet Sc
rious differences of opinion have arts
EN- among naval authorities as to the
efficiency of the present type of the
coast submarines in the United States
Navy.
Some naval officers contend that the
submarines to be used effectively as
coast defenders must be of greater
tonnage and have much larger cruis-
ing radius than those in commission
and those ordered by Congress at the
the vessels are fit for harbor defense.
Other naval officers are of the opin-
ion that the smaller submarines have
proved efficient in coast defense work
in the present European war. It is
certain that the entire matter will be
thrashed out in naval circles and
probably on the floor of Congress.

Homer Croy, the Hunorist, on His Trip Around the World Finds the Sui

Homer Croy, the humoris:, who re-

story of a tiger hunt, to which he was

a humorist, Mr.. Croy found tiger hunt
ing no joking matter-but it did afford
him a number Of surprises.

telling the story on his return to New

ton. My acquaintance with royal

xious to meet a real sultan that L was

ried over whether l ought to call him
Your Highness, or Your Majesty, or
just Mr.. Sultan; but if a tiger couldn't
stop me, certainly court etiquette
could not.
NATURALLY I expected a royal ele-
plant to come for me just like they
do in novels. On the day I was to
start the sultan's head huntsman was
announced. He carried a cotton
American umbrella for a sunshade
and wore American shoes, policeman
size. He greeted ME with a truly ori-
entail salaam and astonlshingly occi-
