GUNS READY FOR

Washington. Feb. 27.-Guns and

appearance before Congress to ask
authority to provide weapons and nen

ners are lacking. however. unless they
are taken from active ships. which

Naval officers pointed out that men
OF special skill. trained to the minute,
would be required as gun pointers for
anti-submarine work. AT best a U
boat is difficult to hit. as there is lit.

hardly visible at more than a few
thousand yards. and is the gunner's
only target.
Recent figures show that $50 ships
under American register are engaged
In transatlantic trade, but II is esti.
mated that not more than 100 would
apply for guns and take the risk OF
crossing the German submarine zone.
There are about 1000 men In the
fleet reserve. OF whom approximately
100 were trained gun pointers when
they left active service. Most OF them
are older men and none has had any
recent practice In gun pointing. II Is
said no sufficient number OF expert
pointers for work on merchant Graf.

OF naval experts is against such a

OF the fleet as a fighting machine
would be seriously impaired II Ia

The available guns range up to g

Warning to Farmers

The Live Stock and Agricultural
Bureau OF the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association is sending
out the following warning TO far
mers over the state of Colorado:
Reports reaching this bureau in
dicate that in their anxiety to grow
high-priced, concentrate crops for
human food, farmers In Colorado are
neglecting forage crops for domestic
animals. Thousands OF acres of
prairie lands are being plowed up
for grain crops, still further reduc-
ing the available pasturage. This
state Is carrying over from last sea-
son practically no reserves OF hay
and forage. Never in our history have
We been so short OF feed crops and
forage for live stock. Meat is just
as important as bread as a human
food and this year forage and hay
will be almost, II not quite. as profit
able as the grain and root crops.
Hay and forage mean meat, milk,
butter and cheese. without these
crops these important food products
are impossible
at least forty per cent OF the cul-
tivated area OF each farm should be
put in forage crops. II is not yet too
late to put in alfalfa. cane. white Aus
tralian corn and other forage crops,
and fall rye for pastures will be
found OF great value next fall. Ev-
cry farm should have a silo or two
"a pit silo can be easily and cheap
ly constructed Arrange to utilize the
straw. Properly mixed with alfalfa
in the stack. layer OF straw and
a layer OF alfalfa, the live stock will
eat It very readily.
In the excitement OF preparing
food crops to meet the present emer-
gency, do not forget the live stock"
