No Sport Guns Truly
Automatic Says Expert

The term "automatic shotgun" so
commonly used by hundreds of
thousands Of sportsmen, is a mis-
homer, according to a Remington
Arms company authority.
There are no full automatic
sporting arms" he said. This ap-
plies not only to shotguns but to
rifles and pistols as we'll. The only
full automatic firearm is the ma
chine gun. When the trigger is pulled
and held back the machine gun will
continue to fire until the trigger is
released.
The machine gun is usually sup
piled with a lever or adjusting de-
vice which shifts the mechanism
from complete automatic to semi
automatic, which requires a pull Of
the trigger for each shot. When
the gun is on full automatic, short
bursts of fire can be secured by
holding the trigger back for a very
short time and then releasing it.
Due to the extreme speed of its
action, about the shortest burst
one can ecu from a full auto
matte machine gun is five shots.
This, however, is dependent upon
the reaction of the shooter and the
sensitiveness of his trigger-finger.
THE guns so frequently referred
to by sportsmen as automatic are
really 'auto-loaders.' This same
term is applicable to so-called
automatic rifles and pistols as well
as shotguns. In this type of gun the
trigger must be pulled for each shot
and, therefore, the gun is under the
complete control of the shooter at
all times.
Three types of action are en-
ployed in the manufacture of these
a~uto-loading guns. These are known
as the 'recoil : operated gas
operated and blow : back = oper-
ated.' The U. S. army's famous Gar
and rifle works on the gas-operated
principle"

Tomato Plants
Sent by Plane
For Experiment
Canning Company Believes
Speedier Shipment Will
Reduce Loss in Setting

Evidence of the impact of the air
age on farming vas presented
Memorial Day when a twin-engined
plane landed with a test consign-
ment Of tomato plants flown from
Abel, Ga, 1000 miles to Chicago, to
be set out on four farms which grow
tomatoes for Libby, Mcneil and
Libby's tomato juice plant at Blue
Island, Ill.
The experimental shipment con-
sisted of S 1000 plants. About half
were pulled in the early morning in
Georgia before the plane took off at
8 a. m. Chicago time. The rest had
been pulled the previous evening.
Some were moss-wrapped and
packed in hampers, the remainder
were placed in burlap bags just as
they we're taken from the ground.
The plane arrived in Chicago at
4:30 p. m, and all plants were set
out on the four farms by dusk.
"Air shipment of perishable plants
such as tomatoes may well become
a commonplace before very long,"
predicted John T. Knowles, director
Of research for Libby. The last
year has witnessed the successful
transport by air Of fruits and vege-
tables at the market stage, but
transport by air at the growing stage
is a new phenomenon. For a number
of reasons, air transport, while
more costly, has many advantages
to offer over rail transport, where
perishable plants are concerned.
Take tomatoes, for example, when
we ship them up here from Abel
by rail, it takes a minimum of sc
hours. During transit, they are SUBJ

plants. Too many plants are lost

Speed is essential in resetting to-
mao plants, for the longer they are
out of the ground in transit, the
greater the likelihood they will die.
Knowles explained. "Often," he
stated, "a rail shipment will arrive
during a rainy spell. This means
planting must be delayed another
two or three days, with loss Of
plants invariably heavy.

speed Of air transports, plants can

trouble is that supplies are not
forthcoming in the scarce food lines

incidentally, the director general

100 Million People
Hungry on Continent

In the face of this situation, it is
evident that, as Colonel Llewenin
told the British House of Commons
on June Is, There r a hundred
million hungry people in Europe

in imports this summer and next
winter. Will the imports be forth
coming from the world outside?
The best answer that can be
given at present seems to be mot
in the volume desired" To provide
enough food to bring the populations
of liberated Europe and the Far

it was a tight ration before the re-

A good part of the answer to the
plea of hungry Europe and the Far

to undergo. President Truman, ir

Rosenman on relief needs in west

Need Is Acute
In Many Areas

The need for food is acute in
many throughout the CONT
nent Of Europe. The people living in
German occupied Holland have
been suffering from outright starva-
ton for months. The physical con
dition Of many was SO serious i'm
mediately following liberation that
they were no longer able to digest
ordinary foods. The whites of eggs
in powdered form were shipped
from the United States to pro-
vide special treatment for these
starvation victims. Britain also
shipped to Holland a special food
consisting of solutions of p~redigested
proteins, glucose and vitamins.
In Yugoslavia, when UNRRA sup
plies arrived and were being un-
loaded from the first shipment.
food was so scarce that the women
brought brooms and brushes to
sweep up the grain that spilled from
the sacks Of wheat. When cans of
beans were distributed to the peo-
pie, the Yugoslav weighing off,
Gals were so careful in measuring
out portions that it was common to
see a single bean removed from the
scales in order to give each person
no more than his fair share.
In May. the office Of foreign agri-
cultural relations of the United
States department of agriculture re-
ported that this years output of
food in Europe will be the smallest
since the beginning of the war. 1t
may be as much as 10 per cen un-
der the 1914 production. As the war
has come along, machinery is
worn out. Factories have been kept
out of most of Europe by the lack
of transportation and the shortage
of materials.

In the final agonies of the conflict.
farm animals were slaughtered
or stolen by the retreating Nazis.
Hence. the production of the cont.
nent will reach the low point of this
winter in the current crop year.
Sharpening the difficulties is the
breakdown of internal transpor,
tation to move what food is pro,
duced from the countryside into the
cities and towns. In the final phases
of the war the Nazis Systematically
destroyed railroads and rolling
