COUNTY FARM BUREAU.

The County Farm Bureau met this
afternoon at the Durango Exchange
rooms. Frank Lyman president OF
the organization was in the chair
with Fred Kroeger, secretary, taking
down the minutes. County Agent
Smith gave short talk. full Of good
points on the wheat situation A. E.
Lovett, state leader of county agents
addressed the body upon the general
market situation, etc. L. E. Mexican,
the new Indian agent at Ignacio as
sured the body that it was his earn
est desire to cooperate with the
farming interests of this county, and
section. He suggested that while no.
body knew all about market condi-
tions, either buying or selling, or
producing, that each one probably
knew a few things well, and that by
getting together in a sort of old time
Methodist experience meeting each
could "wise the others up" to point
where all would have some pretty
valuable information upon which to
base actions.
Frank Wride arose and stated that
he wanted to "get somewhere" and
do it quick. Everyone started to clear
a path, but it developed that Frank
only spoke metaphorically. He want
ed to arrive at some decision in the
matter of the local wheat market, SO
n committee of five was appointed to
"Look into the wheat situation" The
five are Frank Wride, George Harri-
son, Fred Kroeger, Harry Brown and
Scotty Michael. Frank called 'em off
to one side, and they were Fixing
it up" to see that our farmers got
all that was coming to them in the
wheat market when last we saw them.
The potato situation then came up
for discussion. A rooter on the side
lines told US that last spring the ag-
ricultural department men were call
ing meetings and inviting farmers to
plant spuds, plant spuds, plant
spuds, and that now the farmers were
holding meetings and inviting the de-
partment men to tell what in hell to
do with the spuds. M. G. Meek advis-
ed, in short little common sense
talk, the proper sorting and grading
of potatoes. 1t was developed that
up to the present time no buyer Of
potatoes is willing to make a definite
price for future delivery.
The meeting, on the whole develop
ed some good points. While 1t is
true that nobody can tell right now
what prices for produce will be, later
in the fall, general getting togeth-
er" relating of experiences, and
"dovetailing of information cannot
help but aid the farmer in forming
opinions upon which to base his &C.
tions in the produce market. Among
other farmers participating in the
general discussion, up to the time Of
our going to press, were John ]. Zin.,
Fred Kroeger, DR.. King and Vest
Day.

THIS UNDER WATER GUN
MAY SURPASS TORPEDO,
1T SAVES LOTS OF MONEY


Seattle, Wash, Oct, l3.-An under
water gun that promises to revolu
tionize submarine fighting is being
perfected here by William J. Pugh
mechanical genius, now employed in a
ship building plant
Pugh recently showed his plans to
Rear Admiral Ralph Earle, chief of
the navy ordinance department in
Washington.
Certain improvements were then
suggested in the type of projectile
used in the gun.
Since Pugh returned to Seattle he
says he has worked out these fsugges-
tions and is now ready to give a dem
onstration before naval officials just
as soon as a battlesize gun can be
constructed. Thus far all tests have
been made with miniature model.
The gun is mounted inside a. subma-
rine. When in firing position the muz-
zle projects through an opening in the
outer wall of the submersible. A
double wall and air chamber prevents
flooding the undersea vessel
A secret device in construction en-
ables firing under water without burst
ing the weapon and at the same time
adds to the penetrating power of the
projectile.
A special projectile is used. A rud-
der secret propelling continuance ac-
celerate its speed and holds it true to
the course.
THE gun is now effective at a range
of 1000 yards, with possibility of an
increase" said Pugh.
"Gunners can fire it at any depth
from submarine. They could re-
main entirely out OF sight and blow
up whole feet of warships after once
observed the position of the vessels.
"a torpedo costs 5000. The projec-
tile used in the new gun can be made
for $50 and is more effective than the
torpedo"

kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
