Shoot Wlitle Prone hi - Testing Rile Accuracy To test a rifle for accuracy, the shooting should be done from the prone poaition using the sandbag rest. Just put enoutfi sand in an ordinary feed sack so that it will bt solid against your ilrriat and the back of your hand when you are in the prone poaition. Never rest the rifle barrel across the sandbag, log or any aolid object. Whan you are testing your rifle, you must aim carefully, bold your breath and squeeze the trigger. The only correct way to aqueeze the trig* ger is to increase the pressure on the trigger so smoothly and steadily that you do not know exactly when the rifle will fire. Shoot from three to Ave allots for a group; then move your rear sight in the direction you want the shots to hit. If the rear sight is Axed, adjustment for sidewise errors can be made by moving the front sight. If the rifle is shooting to the right, move to the right. The front sight or rear sight can be moved in its notch best by means of a hammer and a small piece of brass or copper rod, say about four inches long and at least one-fourth inch in diameter ao as not to mar either aight or barret-- the barrel itself to bi supported against a hard block of wood. Botulism Remains Menace in Home Canning Botulism, the deadly diaeaae caused by improperly canned fooda, caused 789 deaths between 1880 and 1944, statistics gathered by the Hooper Foundation of the University of California medical achool show. Cases collected by Dr. Karl F.* Meyer, director of the Hooper foundation, who has done practically all the pioneer work on the disease, are from 32 different states, although most commonly from the wpstern states. While no outbreaks of botulism have resulted from commercially canned foods since 1925, home canning has continued tc cause deatha. Dr. Meyer has recorded 46 differ' ent preparations of home canned vegetables, 17 canned meata, ( types of canned Ash and three milk preparations as causing outbreaka. Home canned string beana, asparagus, corn and spinach are the commonest sources. Botulism is caused by a poiaonoua substance produced by • bacteria, Clostridium botoMhum, which exist in the soil and can be eliminated from canned food by 15 minutes of pressure cooking. Ehough of the deadly toxin can be taken into the human system to cauae death if the food in which it exis*s is only tasted. Dr. Meyer has developed an anti-toxin which is ef-ctive in combatting the disease if taken enough after poison food is eaten. Land Grants Of the total railway mileage In the United States today, about 8 per cept received federal grants of land as an aid to construction. In return for the lands granted by the government, the land grant railroads (in accordance with the proviaiona of the land grant acta and subsequent legislation and court rulings) transport government troops and government property uaed for military purpoaes at onehalf the standard rates. For many years, until 1940, the land grant railroada carried United Statea maila for 20 per cent leas than standard rataa. b order to ahare in government traffic, competing railway linea which did not receive land granta handle government piuperly gnat rataa under "afrcalM \«uattwra& sr of agria*ur**Tfce -i-i-- Plants are out of sight, flnit became they are "such je? animals," many of them from ooe-aixty-fourth to one-twentyttth of an inch in length, a little too small tor Observation by the naked eye.

Yet the teeming thousands of these tiny creatures can cause crop failures, sap the vigor of plants, or cauae diseases thxt malform the plants. Not knowing what the trouble really is, farmers often have described their soil as "tired" or "aick." One of the worst pests of this group is the root-knot nematode, which is active and widespread and Is known to be able to live on at least 1,700 species of plants. This makes it difficult to control by rotation of cropa which is an effective method for starving to death many of the kinds of nemas which can thrive or multiply on only or or a few kinds of plants. In greenhouses or to inaure growth of crops of high value, most nematodes can be killed by ateam sterilization or by use of sterilising chemicals. h healthier alanta berries.

It ia highly desirable to increase the supply of plant nutrients In the soil at the time the bed is prepared. Apply a complete balanced plant food to the soil at the rate of four pounds per 100 square feet and work into the soil. Or if desired, plant food may be applied in the row and mixed thoroughly with the soil before setting out plants. A month after planting, give another application of plant food, applying it alongside the row, soma distance from the roots, at the rate of one pound per 50 feet of row. Make a similar application again in August, to encourage and aid folv mation of flower buds for next spring's crop.
