The following article. which ap-
peared In San Francisco paper. has
been communicated to us by Lieut..
Bryant Bullen, who is a member of
the officers training camp. II is in
teresting and shows what the Off
GERS in training have to do to become
efficient in their work:
BY Il. G. b. FITZHAMON.
More than $4,000 rounds OF ball
cartridges will be fired by members
OF the Officers Reserve training
camp on the government rifle range
near Fort Barry. among the Marin
county hills.
This training at the butts will
come early in the training camps
second period. which will commence
June IS. ..-.
Colonel F. w. Sladen, u. s. A.,
commandant OF the camp, says he is
planning to give each man four days
of instruction and shooting on the
range. He hopes to send over two
companies at time, at which rate
twelve companies will finish practice
in four weeks, by cutting out Sat
urday half holidays.
To the best of-my recollection the
Fort Barry range will not accommo'
date the number of men comprised
in two OF these companies--approv
imately $50. But Colonel Salder
says he hopes 10 whittle down tn,
number considerably by eliminating
National Guardsmen and regulars
among the camp students, becaus,
they do not have to shoot tn,

allow for windage, how to score,
what the markers signals mean. how
to keep the shooters scorebook, when
to use battle sight" and when not
to. how to get the bullseye on the
tip of the front sight with thin
line Of white between. how to lie,

what has been emphasized during
the gallery practice now going on
how to shoot at rapid fire." when
only one minute is allowed for two
clips and five shots each at 200 yards,
with ten extra seconds at 500 yards
and still another ten seconds at 500
yards, how to 'snuggle up to" the
stock of the rifle and, particularly,
how NEVER to pull the trigger,
which is only done in magazine
stories or by actors in the movies.
"Never Pull Trigger"
For effective rifle shooting moth
ing is more fatal than to pull the

how to squeeze it decisively at ex-

How spinsters Got Their Name.

From the early ninth century to the
end of the middle Of the nineteenth
century. spinning was the chief occu-
patton Of woman. a young woman
was called spinster because she spun.
II she became married she did. us a
matter OF course, take her married
title, but If she remained unmarried
she continued to be called spinster.
From this has the name spinster sur
vived for the torment ano pleasure Of
old maids today.

ed from 28. 8 to 2 4 bushels and from 2,707, ,994,00o to 2,583, ,241,- GOO bushels respectively; while the price received by the far mers increased from fl cents to s7 cents per bushel.
 The wheat acreage increased from AZ. .s54 ,000 in 1905 to g, 785,. 900 in 1916; while the yield per acre decreased from 145 to 12.1 bushels, causing a decrease in total production from 692, 959, GOO to 639, ,686,000 bushels, the price advancing from 67 cents to $1.60 per bushel. (The prices quoted dc not take into account the present war fgures.)
 CONCLUSION
 Considering all the facts here with presented. we come to these final conclusions:-
 That the worlds production of foo6 stuffs is not keeping up with her demands; that Ameri. ca's decrease in the production of wheat and corn, as shown to be 53.073,0 and 124 753, ,O0O
 
 bushels respectfully. must be balanced by the increase in the production of other food stuffs to keep pace with the increasing demand.
 That rice contains more nu. tritive value than any other ce- real, beef. CT potatoes; and that it's production is more nearly subject to the control of man, and most certain of all food; that while it's price, per bushel, is about the same as corn, an6 much less than wheat, it's yieI'' per acre, is far greater thu either; while the average yieldof corn and wheat is steadily e> creasing, that of rice is greaty increasing, due to improve methods of production.
 Finally, and this is of specil concern to us of the Southland that our Southern States pre- sent field splendidly adapted to rice culture. and worthy of more rapid development.

fields have been in continuous use for from one hundred to one thousand years, the desirable fertilizers being administered as needed to put it in proper crop condition. It will thus be clear that with proper work and care, rice lands in America can be made to produce for ages; and produce better and better as the fertilizer, as well as the water supply. is absolutely in the planters control.
 In Texas, Louisiana and Arkan- sas, we have dependable water supply, which is not the case in Japan, especially where the wa ter is derived from wells. This makes the American rice belt much more desirable than any of the foreign countries. In Japan. under very adverse conditions, jmany farmers raise from 110 to 130 bss1els of rice per acre, and are increasing this production by employing the more modern methods.
 FUTURE RICE POSSIBILITIES IN
 THE SOUTHLAND
 In Louisiana and Texas, there are at least ten million acres adapted to rice culture, one-half of which can be irrigated by us ing the waters of bayous, rivers, and swamps. Lying in the basin of the Mississippi river and her tributaries are ten million acres more that can be watered and made suitable for rice. In the Gulf and Atlantic States are about eight million acres, of which three forths can be wa tered.
 Thus, we see that there are in the Southland about twenty one million acres adapted to rice cul ture, which could be developed for an average of $50 per acre; and can be made to produce an nually 735, ,0oo, 900 bushels, worth from $4OO, ,000, 900 to S1 900, ,000.-. 900, exceeding our present wheat crop, Much of this land is not now cultivated, lying idle or used only for pasturage; but. could very easily be brought un-' der cultivation, with less hazard and cost, per bushel. than wheat Starvation could pra ally be eliminated by the D, ble rice production from this area.
 COMPARATIVE CEREAL PRoDUC-
 TON
 In the United States, during the past F years, there has been a steady increase in the prpduc tion of rice, resulting in larger harvest, which has been augmen ted by a greater yield per acre, through the use of more scien titic methods of production. In 1905. the acreage was 482 ,00G: while in 1916, it had increased to l 860. .000 Tn yield per acre in 1905 was 2S. 2; in 1916, 47 bushels an increase of 66 per cent; while our total production increased from 13.607. 900 to 40. TOP .0o0I bushels. The price received by the farmers remained about the same. being around 90 cents per bushel.
 Comparing this with wheat and corp over the same period,. we find that the corn acreage increased from 94, ,011 GOO to los, 954 ,00O; the yield per acre. as we'll as total production, decreas
