THROUGH STEEL FOOT THICK
Great Power of the Fifteen-Inch Guns
Now in Use in the European
War.

We hear much and have read more
about the power of big guns and havoc
they create, vet very few people really
understand the immense power behind
one of these modern engines Of de-
StructiOn, writes war correspondent
What, for instance, do you understand
by the power of 15-inch gun2"
driven seven miles away from the wall
II inches thick and made of the hard
est steel; then take an automobile and
drive seven miles away from the wall,
Arrived at shat point you will find a
big gun aimed at the wall you have
left seven miles behind and which you
cannot see. Go over to the gun and
pun the lanyard. The steel that you
release by pulling this lanyard will
travel through the air the entire dis
lance you have come by automobile
and will ~ right through the Pinch
steel wall.
The most powerful land guns ever
made are the German howitzers. or
16.5-inCh guns. The most formidable
steel and concrete forts are cracked
open by these huge guns as though
they were made Of paper. Naval guns
cannot be developed to the same size
as land guns because 1t is more diff
cult to handle one of these aboard a
ship. For that reason the greatest eff
fective range with "a naval gun is from
eight to ter miles. The largest naval
gun is the l5-inCh gun on the famous
British superdreadnaught Queen Eli
zabeth, while the German 42-centimet-
err hOwitzer, which reduced Antwerp
and other fortresses believed impreg-
nable, is the most powerful land gun.
The great guns aboard the Queen Eli
zabeth fire projectiles which weigh
ton. The United States, however, now
has guns defending the Panama canal
and New York, which hurl through the
, air a mass of metal weighing almost
100 pounds more than the British Su-
perdreadnaught's guns.

SILAGE TO cheaper RATION
More siIos Being Constructed Every

Because of the economy and con-
venience in feeding silage, more silos
are being built every season. This

erected to lean" the corn crop.

Is per cent more butterfat was pro-

be produced in the form of silage at

The same day that seed corn is

will not be bettered by a thorough
drying treatment. If corn is left in

CONTROL OF SHEEP S0RREL
ouickIime Can Be Used to Advantage
by Shaking With Water and
Sprinkling Mixture.

The usual advice for the control of
sheep sorrel is to apply ground lime
stone, two tons per acre, hydrated lime
one and one-half tons per acre, or
quicklime one ton per acre. The quick
lime can be used TO advantage by
shaking with water and sprinkling the
mixture freely over sthe sorrel. The
liquid will injure the leaves of the sor-
rel as we'll as help correct the soil
acidity.

Excellent Ears for Seed.

the middle of the ears so that they
hang balanced and horizontal. Ordi-
nary bidder Irvine is strong enough
to support from 10 to 20 ears.
Wire racks are cheaper in the long
run and more convenient. A good
form is made from welded or woven
wire fencing, the upright wires being
used as the hangers, and the lateral
wires cut off and bent upward being
used as supports for the individual
ears. The lateral wires, about three
inches long on either side of the main
upright, are thrust into the butt end
of the cobb. These racks will last
many years and are easily stored
when not in use. In use, with the
corn upon them, they have somewhat
the appearance of giant fern fronds.
The central wire is the midrib of the
leaf and the ears of corn stand out
on each side like the fern leaflets, or
like leaflets on locust tree.
Wooden Racks Convenient.
Wooden seed racks, in which the
ears are stored in rows on separate
shelves, are convenient dryers, and
have no drawbacks in a dry, breezy
place, although the air cannot circu-
late freely on all sides and dampness
may be held where the row of kernels
rests on the wood.
Only during unusually damp wealth
er at seed-gathering time will fire
be necessary to help the drying. Yet
if heat is applied in a poorly ventilat-
ed place. it will do more harm than
good. If used. the fire should be slow

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO
RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE

Atlanta, Ga, July 26.-Atlanta ship
pers and receivers of freight have un-
dertaken systematically to cooperate
with the railroads in the conservation
of the car supply by promptly load
ing and unloading cars; by establish
ing shipping dates for package cars;
by promptly taking out bills of lading
for cars when loaded, and promptly
taking tip order notify bills of lading
when shipments arrive; by notifying
railroad agents, in advance of arrival,
where shipments should be placed for
unloading, and by other methods
which have been worked out by the
traffic officials of the railroads.
AS pointed out by railroad officials
of Atlanta, the physical plant which
manufactures transportation cannot
be enlarged at the present time to
meet the demands for increased trans
portation, and consequently the only
method of increasing transportation is
by cutting down the wasted space in
railroad freight cars and the wasted
time in their movements to and fro.

WILLIAM T. HAMMOCK

The news of the death of William
/. Hammock, at Wrightsville, was re-
celved in the city Wednesday. Mr..
Hammock had been under a doctors
care for sometime before he left the
city and his friends had very little
hope for his recovery.
Sunday telegram was received
here by his uncle, w. B. Hammock,
informing him of the serious condi-
ton OF his nephew and requesting his
presence at the bedside of the suf-
ferer. Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Hammock
and Col. Chas. Russell motored over,
but the deceased had lost conscious
ness when they arrived and never
regained it sufficient to recognize
them. He passed away Monday
morning.
The deceased had been admitted-to
the bar but few months ago and
was looking forward to successful
career in the practice of his profession
here. His remains were laid to rest
at his former home in Wrightsville
Tuesday
The sympathies of the community
are extended to his bereaved wife
and family.
