START TESTING
HEAVY GUNS AT
FORT SALISBURY
[ConfiHucd from First Page]

[CoRtiHHcd from First Page]
and more are expected today to wit
ness the proof-fring.
The big guns at Fort Salisbury,
six miles east of Milford and near
Cedar Beach were fired despite
protests of farmers that the detona-
tions might injure turkey eggs that
are in the process of being hatch
ed.
Farmers of Cedar Neck, who raise
many turkeys, sent a protest to the
War Department at Washington, and
as a result of this Captain Maris
called a meeting of the farmers last
Saturday morning in Milford. He
explained that any damage done by
the firing of the big guns could be
reported to the government but any
claims would have to be properly
proved.
He said he could give the farmers
plenty of information about the
guns, but he was not an expert on
turkey eggs in process of Matching
and was not prepared to say what
if any damage would be done to
them by the rumble of the guns. Six
teen farmers, who live in the vicin-
ity of Fort Salisbury, attended the
meeting, but were not exactly sure
what damage would result from the
firing of the guns except that they
feared turkey eggs being hatched
would be spoiled by the vibrations
from the guns.
Those in charge expect to COM
plete the firing of the guns before
night fall today.

"CERTIFIED" NOT PROOF
OF OFFICIAL APPROVAL

The word certified" on the label
of packaged foodstuffs does not al
ways mean that the product has
been examined by branch of the
Government, either Federal or local,
caution officials of the Food, Drug,
and Insecticide Administration of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
This statement is made because
many complaints have been made by
housewives that certified" products
they bought failed, upon closer ex-
animation, to have been approved by
the Government.
The idea that certificatiOn and gov
ernment go hand in hand may have
become prevalent because the Gov
ernment does inspect and certify
some food products. The Bureau of
Agricultural Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture Of
fers an inspection service on dressed
poultry and rabbits which involves
an inspection when they are drawn.
Distributors of the inspected prod
ucts and manufacturers who use
them in canned food products are
permitted to use on the label IN
spected and Certified by Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture.
This bureau also maintains a grad
ing service on butter, cheese, eggs,
and undrawn dressed poultry, and
issues grading certificates which
certify the grade of the product,
which is either stamped with the Of
fetal grade mark or is packaged with
numbered certificates of quality
which give the grade of the product
and the date of the grading.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
conducts a meat inspection service
at many packing plants where the
meat and it's containers are marked
with the legend Inspected and Pass
ed by United States Department OF
Agriculture" or an approved abbre-
Walton thereof. This legend is the
Governments guaranty that the

mails and was prepared under sani-
Lary conditions. Where "certiiled
milk" is sold, medical milk commits
SiOnS, and Ill some cases -nedlCu ue-
partments also inspect dairies and
certify the milk sold as having been
produced according to the rules and
regulations governing the production
of certified milk"
The Food, Drug, and Insecticide
Administration tests artificial food
colors and certifies those which are
harmless to health. When such col
oring matter is added to food prod
ucts the fact may be recorded on the
label with the legend certified color
added"
A number of products are now ap-
pearing on the market under Ger
tilted brand" or as having been in
spected, approved, or certified by a
food institute, a food chemist, or by
a doctor. Such certification does not
mean Government approval for it
has nothing to do with the Govern
nent. 1t must be taken for what it
Is worth. BY a careful reading of
the label, a housewife can determine
who is certifying the product which
bears the word certified"

COOKING LAMB

The fell is the thin papery outer
covering en- the lamb carcass. AL
though recipes frequently advise
that it be removed before cooking,
it is now believed, says the Bureau
of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
that flavor is not affected by the
fell. Leg of lamb keeps it's shape
better if cooked with the fell, but
shoulder, saddle, and chops are i'm
proved by it's removal. Unless
roast from which the fell has been
removed is rubbed we'll with -four,
it will require longer to cook than
a piece with the fell undisturbed.

CENSUS WILL SHOW TREND
OF LARGE.SCALE FARMING

In discussion of large-scale far
ming c. L. Holmes, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
says that the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics has little definite infor-
nation of any radical change in the
typical size of the farming unit dur
ing the last decade.
"When the figures of the census of
1925 on the size of farms are COM
pared with similar figures from the
1920 census, no startling changes
are shown" he says. eve know that
since 1925 developments have been
under way which have resulted in a
remarkable increase in the size of
farms in certain areas. The agricul-
tural census of 1880 will yield the
first comprehensive information re-
vealing the extent to which this
movement has gone. There have
been a few conspicuous develop
ments, but we know that the move
ment toward consolidation of hold
ings and carrying on of farm oper-
ations on a scale markedly larger
than previously existed has not gone
far. The Importance of the subject,
therefore, is mainly in its potential
tiles rather than in its actualities."

All nature welcomed the rain that
fell on Wednesday morning, after so
many, many days of dry weather.
The birds, during the hardest down.
fall sang their sweetest, seeming to
enjoy the rain that was so badly
needed. After such gentle drink
the gardens ought to begin to look
their best again. Tulips were lovely
this year while they lasted, but their
stay with us was all too short. Soon
we will be enjoying the beauty of the
stately peonies and the roses. When
each flower has a beauty peculiar to
itself, it is difficult to chose the one
that is the best, for every one is an

BY III. CLIFFORD BROKAW,
Automobile Technical Adviser.

The automobile Is like the human be-
ing who owns it in that 1t requires q
regular supply Of food to keep 1t work.
ing effectively. After the engine is in
stalled in the automobile the intake
manifold, piping arrangement for dis
tributing equal quantities of fuel to
each cylinder, Is connectedl Usually
the intake manifold is designed so as
to heat the gasoline vapor before 1t
enters the cylinder. This is an advan-
tage, since heat Is help in the eff1cient
combustion of the automobiles fuel.
A carburetor is bolted to the lower
end of the intake manifold, the purpose
of the carburetor being to mix the gas
oline with air in the correct proportions
before it is burned in the cylinder.
The vacuum tank Is the next item to
be installed in the fuel system. This Is
an interesting device, which causes the
gasoline to flow uphill. The vacuum
tank is for the purpose OF supplying the
carburetor with gasoline drawn from
the fuel tank. To complete the assem-
bly, of tl4e fuel system, the gasoline tank
is added, which is a container for the
bile its power.
Function Of Vacuum Tank.
When the engine is running the gaso-
line is sucked by vacuum from the gaSo-
line tank into the vacuum tank, where
IL is strained and stored for future use.
If the main gasoline tank Is at the rear
of the car and lower than the engine,
which is generally the case, the vacuum
tank is intended to insure steady now
of gasoline to the engine. regardless OF
the position of the automobile.
The gasoline flows from the vacuum
tank into the carburetor, where 1t is
mixed with air and then sucked into
the cylinder In the form of vapor. If
the gasoline is stored in a tank at a
higher level than the carburetor, the
fluid flows by gravity directly into the
carburetor instead of through a vacuum
tank, otherwise the fluid is fed to the
carburetor by air pressure produced by
small compressor that forces air I'M
der pressure directly into the fuel tank.
When the piston travels down in the
cylinder, creating a partial vacuum, the
gasoline -air-vapor Is sucked from the
carburetor to I'LL the space; this vapor
is then compressed by the upper stroke
of the piston and burns with great ra-
pidity when ignited The intense heat
thus developed expands the gas and
produces the power needed to drive the
piston to the bottom Of the cylinder.
The vacuum tank Is comprised Of two
tanks combined in one. There is an
upper tank. the actual vacuum tank,
md the lower one. which is reservoir.
When the vacuum Is created in the
cylinder it is nut to work sucking air

The term second grade" was ex-
planned as applying to fruit at a fully
ripened stage and liable to unstable
deterioration If not placed on the con-
sumner market very shortly after being
collected from the grower.
Among other advantages found. in
using the motor truck were ease Of
rapid handling In direct from farm to
consumer market, elimination of re-
frigeration necessity en- route, higher
advantage Of marketing less than car

tank. This Is done through q copper
tube which connects the upper chamber
OF the vacuum tank with the intake
manifold.
Gasoline Fills Vacuum. :
When the vacuum is created the gas
oline In the main gas tank ruShes In TO
I'LL the vacuum. The copper tube which
connects the main gasoline tank with
the upper chamber Of the vacuum tank
Is an instrument through which the
gasoline from the main fuel tank flows
on until the fuel In the upper chamber
reaches a level governed by q valve.
This valve is opened or closed by the
rise or fall Of a hollow metal can which
floats in the gasoline. AS this float
reaches a certain fixed level the suction
Is automatically cut OF and air is per-
mitted to enter this chamber through
an air valve, and thus temporarily
eliminating the vacuum. The fuel In
the upper chamber then flows by grav-
ity through a valve into the lower
chamber of the vacuum tank.
When the motcriSt is driving his car
and runs out of gasoline he will find
it necessary to prime the vacuum tank.
Gasoline poured into the upper tank
flows through the valve into the lower
tank and supplies the carburetor. When
the engine Is StarLeQ CuS vacuum again
begins to operate and the now Of fuel
from the main tank Is resumed.
Fuel Is VapOrized.
When the gasoline rises In the hoat
chamber of the carburetor the float
rises until-when it has reached Ger.
tain level-a lever closes a needle valve
at the bottom and stops the dows The
gasoline level is then even with the top
of the spray jet in the mixing chamber.
Suction then draws the air through the
air-intake pipe and through the mixing
chamber. When the air rushes past
the spray jet it sucks a small amount
of gasoline, which Is vaporized and
mixed with the rapidly moving air II
the proportion necessary to produce the
desired combustion. This combination
of air and gasoline Is then drawn
through the manifold into the cylinder
as needed.
The amount Of this vapor fed to the
cylinder Is controlled by the movement
of valve operated by the foot acceler.
ator or throttle lever. When a rich
mixture is needed, as In case Of starting
the car on a cool day, the desired re.
suits are secured by using the choke,
which reduces the proportion Of air
which makes up the vapor.
