Supplies Of seed- corn usually avail-
able in Western Ontario for Canadian
ensilage growers are this year insuf-
ficient to meet local requirements. The
seed crop of the more No ittirn states
is also insufficient to supply home ,
needs, which leaves as the onbt source
of aupply to Canadian coinage grow-
ers the late varieties grown in. or south
Of Kansas missouri, Tennessee and
'These late varieties - in-
clude Red Cob, Mastodon and Mam-
moth Southern -Sweet which although
giving a large tonnage per ace are
somewhat low in dry matter and make
ensilage of rather poor quality. HoW-
even the ensilage growers of Easton
Ontario and the southern part of Que-
k,ec may this year consider themeelves
fortunate in obtaining even, late Varie-
ties of seed corn. In, districts where
only the early' voxieties can be groin).

iate their purehases direct with the

their orders through the Toronto of-

ance in securing export permits and

EXPERTS DISCUSS TnE NEW
GEitmAN GUN.
When the first news came that Paris
was under gunfire, it was feared that
the Germans had advanced their lines
to wisthin what was considered shelling
range, perhapi 22 or 25 milea. Then
it was explained that the shells must
have been dropped from -airplanes.
Now it s,eems evident that Germany'
, has constructed a gun capable of hurl-.
ing a shell more than 70. miles; or
theee times as far as ever it shell was
hurled before': It is one of theaniracles
of the war, but is likely to have as
much influence uPon the result of the
war as that other well known miracle,
liqUid air. Its effect, according to a
French writer, was hoped to b4 psy-
chojogical, to bring about a panic, co-
incident with the inevitable earlier
successes of the great offensive. No
doubt if one of these guns can be made
others can be made, .ancl it is thought
that more than one is bombarding
P,artis. The London Times believes
that the guns may yet be set up along
the. Belgia,n coast and drop shella into
England.
As far as the life of the present
gun or guns is concerned, it islike-
ly to be short. Once spotted by an
Allied aviltor, a bomb or two -will
shatter it just as the gun. was shate

nine inch gun from 40 to 50
feet long and with a maximum. eleva-
tion of 45 degrees, a projectile can
be thrown for more than twenty
miles, and that if the calibre of the
gun is doubled, the area at the base
is quadrualedi Thus if the Germans
have built a gun 100 feet tiong and
if its calibre, is, say, 18 or 20 inches,
it is perfectly feasible foe it to hurl
a nine inch shell sixty or seventy

at presentethree Government tractors
in Huron, and owing to the large acres
age ‘available the additional tractors
are considered necessary.
when accuracy is the great end to be
achieved, the projectile is made only
shghtly .smaller than the calibre of
the gun. This is to give a spin
to the missle, and ovetcom:e what a
pacifist person. anight call wabbling.
The Zalinski guin sought to secure.,
this result by ataching two rings
to -the projectile, one near the for-
ward end and one near the rear.
The rear ring caries a driving band
for giving the projectile rotation,
and back of that is a gas checlo
independent in the ease of the driv-
ing band. When the projectile
escapes from te gun these two rings
part company with the projectile and
drop off, permitting it to proceed by
itself. .
The greatest cause of lost motion
in, a bullet or a shell is friction,
arrd oet its course a 'projectile en-
counters two sorts of friction. In the
first place there ds the friction of the
sides ef the rifle or cannon.; in the
second place there is the friction
or resistance offered by the air. As'
regards the latter the greater the
range. of the gun, less this is to
be feared. The shells that have
fallen on Paris, for instance, if fired
from a gun at an angle of forty-five
degrees, which - is th:e 'theoretical
position for the longest range, though
some experts say that in practice 32
degrees is best, would be about 85
miles over the earth when they had
finished half their journey. At this
height the shells would.be above most
of the 'atmospheres of the earth, and
the air resistance would be compara-
tively small compared with that en-
countered lower down. They would
be moving through a partial Vacuum.
The other source of friction, acocrding
