Such weeds as wild onion, bitter weed, and the ragweeds cause great annoyance to dairymen and milk dealers. These weeds, when eaten by milch cows, give very disagreeable odor and flavor to the milk, and con- sequently to all other dairy products, When cows eat such weeds in large quantities, the milk is not market able. The control of pasture weeds is big problem to dairymen in certain areas.

Blakely states that although the coun- ty as a whole may come up a little short on subscriptions, he believes that it is safe to say that 90 per cent of the pledge cards were filled out. and if the subscriptions are short it will be the fault of individuals who are really able and who did not do their just part.
 Early in the afternoon of pledge day, Gale was first to report it's over subscription, then followed closely Bluff City, New Hope, Wire Road, Laneburg, Sweet Home School House. Holly Springs and Antioch. The campaign will be continued in this county until the time is up in an effort to exceed our quota.

is GUN PLANTS
BUILT FOR U.S.
ARE COMPLETE
Sixteenth Plant Is Rapidly
Nearing Completion;
Ready Soon for Work.
MAKING FINE ORDNANCE
Product Equal to Best In
Great Britain and
France.

Fifteen Of the sixteen gun plants
for the forging and machining OF can
non have been completed. II was an
nounced yesterday by the War De-
.partment. They are now turning out
guns ranging from l IL inches to 10
inches. The sixteenth plant win be
doing its bit in a few weeks. It Is
now s. per cent complete.
Thus far the government has ex-
pended $34, ,76s.2 .297 in the erection Of
the plants The latter constitute prac-
tically a new industry because Of the
radical changes in the manufacture
Of guns in the past year. and the prog
ress that has been made dates from
July of last year.
At that time there were only two
plants. with the exception Of the gov
ernment arsenals, available for the
manufacture OF army guns in quanti-
ties. These were the Midvale and the
Bethlehem companies, and they were
swamped with work This made ex-
,nansion imperative.
Met Requirements.
; Work was begun as soon as the
money was appropriated and today.
while none of the sixteen companies
now doing the work had ever been
engaged in ordnance manufacture, all
have successfully met the rigid re-
quirements and are producing ma
terial which is equal to the best prod
nets of the ordnance companies of
Great Britain and France.
Only a kind Providence. however.
