The experimental shipment con sisted of 45,000 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. d and Some were packed in hamper the remainder were placed in burlap bags just as they were 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 vegetables 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 cosUy, has many advantages to offer over rail transport, where perishable plants are concerned. Take tomatoes, for example, when we ship them up here from Adel by rail, it takes a minimum of 36 hours.

This air shipment of 45,000 plants was part of an experiment to determine whether or not speedier movement of perishable acts would result in better vegetables. jected to heat, which weakens the plants. Too many plants are lost this way." Speed is essential in resetting tomato 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. "Because of the much greater speed of air transports, plants can be shipped from great distances and planted the same day. In this man ner, planting conditions can be controlled much more effectively. Air transported plants arrive in much better condition and take hold quick er when set out "The latter fact is highly significant We confidently expect that by taking hold more readily when set out, air transported plants will bear moss-wrappe- "GAY GADGETS" Associated Newspapers BY NANCY SWEATER SPICE Coming events cast their shadows before, we always 6ay every other rainy Thursday.

Well, how are you doing ripe tomatoes perhaps as much as 10 days ahead of plants that come in by rail. If this proves to be true, we estimate our tomato yield per acre will be increased by two tons at least And increased yield, plus saving on lost plants, will more than offset added cost of air transport A rail shipment of tomato plants, pulled from the same field under the same conditions, left Adel for Chicago at the same time as the plane load. Comparative records will be kept during the growing season to provide the final answer to air versus rad transport, Knowles said. No Sport Guna Truly Automatic, Says Expert The term "automatic shotgun," so commonly used by hundreds of thousands of sportsmen. Is a misnomer, according to a Remington Arms company authority. "There are no full automatic sporting arms," he said. "This applies not only to shotguns but to rifles and pistols as welL The only full automatic firearm is the machine 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 supplied with a lever or adjusting device which shifts the mechanism from complete automatic to semiautomatic, 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 secure from a full automatic machine gun is five shots. This, however, is dependent upon the reaction of the shooter and the sensitiveness of his trigger-finge"The guns so frequently referred to by sportsmen as automatic are This same really term Is applicable to 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.
