Cotton Crop Shows Improvement

The average condition OF the
cotton crop as Of drte June "a, IS
80.5 per cent Of normal, according
to reports from correspondents Of
the Commercial Appeal.
This cympares with 80 per cent,
given by the government as the
condition on May Is, and 1915 on
June rs, last year.
Good progress has been made
by the plant in the central belt
and all OF the-westerne section, ex-
cept Oklahoma, where heavy
rains have not only retarded de-
velopement, but have brought
about an actual loss in condition.
In the erstern states the crop has
hardly held its own, poor growth
as the result Of lack of fertilizers
in some sections having offset
good progress in others. Very
little if any Of the initial lat ~
of the crop was made up during
the month. =
Cultivation showed some i'm
provement outside Oklahoma, but
there are many fields still carry
ing a good crop Of grass and
weeds.
Boil weevil has infested wide
areas in Texas, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, with worst
damage reports from Texas and
Alabama, where some cotton is
already being plowed up on ac-
count of ravages Of the pest.

steers had access to seventy acres OF
cornstalks and a wheat straw stock,
and were allowed to- run on a pasture

Gun Without ReeolI.

An officer Of the United States navy
has invented a gun that fires a six
pound projectile without recoil. This
gun, because of its absence of recoil,
is well adapted to use on aeroplanes
or dirigibles.
The gun is most interesting, having
both ends open to the atmosphere. The
shell has the proiectile tied into one
end, and in the other end is a mass Of
bird-shot The shot is of sufficient
weight to furnish the required reac-
ton when the projectile is discharged
from the other end of the gun. When
the gun is fired the projectile is
thrown from the muzzle at high We
locity while the shot is discharged
from the breech at low velocity.
