TWO pieces of board nails together at

By placing the vegetables in a long
ridge rather than in conical piles with
earth dividing the ridge into small sec

FUNCTIONS OF MILITIA
BUREAU WILL END

With Drafting Of Entire NATIONAL
Guard Into the Federal Service Aug
gust 5th.
Washington.-Wit the drafting Of
the entire national guard into the
army Of the United States August s,
the functions Of the militia bureau of
the war department are expected to
come to an end. There will remain
10 force Of national guard for the bu-
reau to supervise and the officers OF
the regular army attached to the divi-
sion will probably be assigned to other
,ty.
Under the plan Of the national de-
tense act, which calls upon the states
OF maintain recruit battalions for each
guard regiment in active service, the
bureau would continue as 1t Is. 1t is
regarded as probable, however, that a
general reserve system will be substt-
tuted for the regimental depot plan to
fill gaps in the ranks.
In that event, new men, whether
volunteers, those called under the Sc
lective draft or wounded men who
have recovered sufficiently to return
to the front, would be gathered in gen
eral recruit depots in America which
would supply general depot in,
france. Preliminary training of the
recruits would be given in the homo
depots, to be supplemented by inten-
sive training in trench warfare at the
depot In France. The convalescent
soldiers returning to the front would
form valuable training force to.
break In the new men at the depots.
