enlistment PERIOD
IN Army CHANGED
Four Years Of Term in Actual Ser
vice and Three Years Sub
ject to Call.

Owensboro, n.y.. Oct s.-S.rgean,
Jacobs. loca recruiting offcsr for
the uniccd Stages army, has received
offirial notice, IN the form ola cir-
GUAR, after November will onIst Cor
a term Of seven years.
The old term of enlistment was for
only three years, and the new ssied-
ule more than doubles the dime.
However. under the new act only four
years of the seven are to be served
under the flag unless the man may de-
sire 20 do 80. The other three years
may be spent at home but always at
the cau of the war depanJmens. While
the new enlistment is longer than the
old, 1t Is not Thought tllat 1T will make
any difference IN the number of first
class recruits, as those really tesir-
ing to serve would not mind ensySting
for the seven as three of tirsse can
be spent at home. WHICH reduces the
number to only four years actual
SERVICE. However the circular warns
those IN the recrulting service chat
there will be some trouble until the
nature of the new enlistment is fully
understood and instructs Nem 20 re-
double their efforts in SECURING re-
cruits.
Tse new term of enlistment dos
not affect those already in the service.
Any man in the service can now re-
enlist for only three years and as
many other three year enilstmcnts
as he desires, providing they are CON
tinuous. Also the new enlistment in
structions do not go into effect until
November /, so those enlis'ing hNfore
that time ARE con,pclled to serve thrce
years only +.

Keep in Touch With iz2ur Experiment Station.

TN THIS issue will be
found two short articles
on cotton anthracnose, a
disease which has been un-
usually prevalent over much
of the South this year. Al
most every year. however,
we get inquiries from far
merS as to what causes their
cotton bOlls to rot and how
they can prevent it. The
same thing is true of many
other plant diseases. and
many insect pests.
The loss to the farmer
from these diseases and in
sect enemies is enormous.
Various estimates are made
as to its extent. but really
no one can do more than
guess at it. Often, too, the
farmer does not even know,
when a new disease attacks
his crop, or a new insect
pest appears, what the
troublesome visitor is.
Most of us who are lust
plain farmers" are not at all
well-informed as to fungi, or
bacteria or all the multitude
of flying, creeping and
crawling things that we have
to contend with. Yet it is
important that we know a.
bout them. Often the sue
cess OF our crops, and the
reward of our years labor
depend upon our knowing
how to fight these tiny
often invisible-foes.
The question. then, is:

AWFUL SLAUGHTER
Football Boys Bring Home the
Bacon From Tower

Not only did the Ely High
School boys Secure the bacon at
Tower Saturday but the score
shows that they also took the liver,
lights and sundry other parts of the
anatomy of the Tower football
heroes. The slaughter was fierce
and at no time did it look as if
Tower would emerge from the fray
with a mark to their credit.
In some unaccountable manner
the Ely boys lost their ginger at
one stage of the proceedings and
before they had woke up to the
intentions of the Tower fellows a
touchdown and a goal kick had
been pulled off on them. This
settled the doings insofar as Tower
was concerned. Before the fracas
was over, the Ely boys had an
nexed 102 scores to their tally
sheet, leaving Tower with the J so
hard earned.
The game was witnessed by a
large crowd and enjoyed by all who
attended. Several from here ac-

IMPORTANT RULING
Modified Ruling Concerning Time
Of Cultivation ON Homestead

The department of the interior
has just modified the new home
stead law in a most important par
ticular. By an order just issued by
the general land Office and signed
by S. V. Proudfit, assistant COM
missioner, the matter of time of
cultivation of homesteads is modi-
fled so that it is practically ruled
that instead of homesteader hav-
ing to cultivate so much each year,
his final proof will be allowed on
his showing that his total cultiva-
ton shows the required average.
The circular which is addressed to
the land officers, reads as follows
Your attention is directed to
the following provision in the act
approved Aug. "a, 1912, making
appropriation for sundry civil ex-
penses of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1913:
That the failure of a home
stead entryman to give notice of
election of making his proof as re-
quired by the act of June E, 1912,
being an act to amend sections
2291 and 2297 of the revised stat
utes of the United States relating
to homesteads, shall not in any
wise prejudice his rights to proceed
in accordance with the law under
which such entry was made"
In view of the foregoing para
graph p, circular No. 142, of July
IS, 1912, is no longer in force.
In this connection you will OBJ
serve the following provision of
paragraphs IS and 10 of said cir
cular:
" By the section am author
lied, under rules and regulations
to be prescribed by me, to reduce
the required area of cultivation.
Acting hereunder, l have pre-
scribed the following rule to govern
action on proof where the home
stead entry was made prior to June
E, 1912. but through failure of
election must be adjudicated under
the new law.
Respecting cultivation neces-
sary to be shown upon such an
entry, in all cases where, upon
considering the whole record, the
good faith of the entryman appears,
the proof will be acceptable if it
shows cultivation of at least one
sixteenth for one year and of at
least one-eighth for the next year
