Lost important things, pattern and penetration. A gun that patterns 70 per cent. at 40 yards is doing good work. On straight-away quail never do I hold under them but slightly high on them for the reason that invariably they are rising all the time. The lead I give crossing or quartering quails varies consider- ably with the distance. Quail-shooting practically is very close, and even at forty yards seldom do I lead more than a foot. A modified choke in the Remington automatic will do good work on quail, but possibly smash up some close ones in cover as the distances seem greater than they are. Rifle- shooting and quail-shooting are vastly separate arts. The automatics are 28-inch because they function in that length better than with longer barrels. The best all-around length of barrels is a matter of the individual’s ability to line up with them. If bored in like manner, they will all shoot the same from 26-inch up. Though at long range a long barrel is easier to line up and vice versa at short distances, it is easier to get on quickly with a short barrel. Textiles in Argentine OUTH AMERICA is learning to make its own clothes. Request: —‘¥ am interested in the textile industry; is this field fully developed in Argentine, and if so what part of the country is most adapted for its manufacture. This includes both cotton and wool. I am a graduate of a textile school, and what are Trails 1QI the prospects of a position in this line? Could you refer me to some good books on this subject.” —E. I. SALVAIL. Reply, by Mr. Wm. R. Barbour:—The textile in- dustry is becoming quite well established in Argen- tine, both cotton and wool cloth, hosiery, blankets, etc., being turned out. The mills are comparatively small as yet, and are established mostly in Buenos Aires. However, Argentine still imports, from Europe and the United States, the finer grades of cotton cloth, fine suitings, etc. Argentine is a great wool producer, and is beginning to grow cotton, so I be- lieve that within a few years she will be entirely self- supporting in the matter of textiles. 1 do not be- lieve she manufactures any silk or linen cloth, though flax (raised for the linseed oil) is a staple crop of the country. I cannot say as to prospects for work, never hav- ing had occasion to investigate. I do not know of any books which have to do with textiles in Argen- tine. * aSK ADVENTURE” editors are ap- pointed with extreme care.
