Reduced to it's last analysis the seecve draft as ad-
vocated by President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker,
simply means that every man entering the army shall
serve where he do the most good In other words
maximum service with minimum expense and waste of
time is the object Sought
The volunteer system was failure and came near en-
comprising the downfall of the British army at the out
break OF the European war. Thousands of young men,
fired by patriotism rushed the coors and fought in the
trenches who could have hundredfod better served
their counys cause by staying in the machine shops and
munon factories, where their expert services were so
sorey needed or by acting engineers in the costruc-
ton of Notifications in which calling they had had ample
technical training But under the volunteer system they
rushed to the front at the first CALL leaving the shops and
factories to be by inexperienced operatives and as
consequence they with thousands of Others were butcher
ed like because their country could not furnish them
the guns and ammunition with which to defend them
selves.
England realized when all but too late that the volun-
eer system of raising army was failure The United
States oo will realize it if Congress adopts that system
and the war goes on another twelve-months
Volunteers are brave and eager to fight as any SOL
ders on earh but they cannot be readily trained and
made fit for service selected with an eye single to
their peculiar fitness for the character of service they shall
perform.

Plant the Summer Legumes.

Cowpeas and soy beans are
high priced this spring. This
does not mean that fewer acres
should be planted to them, but
that methods of planting which
will make a given quantity of
seed go further should be follow
ed. Less broadcasting and more
row planting is indicated. A
bushel of either can be made tc
plant three acres in rows in ex.
treme cases. AS far north as
the central part of Tennessee,
possibly further, velvet beans
may be used when the main pur.
pose of the crop is to supply veg.
etable matter and nitrogen fol
the benefit of the soil.
The acreage of legumes must
not be cut down. 1t should be
increased every year. Only by
The liberal planting of these crops
can soil fertility be maintained
most economically. Practically
every acre of land that would
otherwise be left bare for as
much as ninety days this summer
should be planted to cowpeas.
soy beans or velvet beans. Such
planting will mean fatter live
stock and better crops. South

Oldest Kentuckian Dead.

Ezekiel McFadden, said to be
the oldest resident of Kentucky,
died at the home of his son,
Frank McFadden, living a few
from 0wensboro. He was 124
years old, and until the past two
years had been very active,
having lks room on the second
floor and being able to do some
little manual work. Since that
time he had been confined to his
room. In his early years he was
hatboater between points on the
Ohio river and New Orleans.

duction of food is that of making
the best possible use of that pro-
duced, Many families in the
country and city alike waste more
food than they eat. They may
Justify themselves by saying that
the pigs, chickens, dogs or cats
will get it, but thi<sS a poor use
to make of something so valuable
as human food when such a crisis
faces the world as does now.
The pigs and chickens should
only get a chance at the food
when people have used all they
can of it. Food should be cook
ed in such quantities that the
waste will be small.
However, with the best of man.
agement some food will accumu-
late that is fit only fce the pigs
or chickens. In evely possible
case some hogs or poultry should
be kept to make usa of this.
Nothing should be thrown away
that could be used to help in
crease the food supply. Nothing
is more important than tbs strict
economy that will make va we
have 60 as far as possible. ~
If all the people of our nation
would make the supreme effort
to help their country by giving
up their servants when the cal
comes, millions would be set free
to help in munition plants, in
helping take care of the wound
ed, in necessary manufacturing
interests, to help in some cases
to till the farms, and to take
their places at the front.
1t may be necessary for many
to give up their automobile fol
pleasure, that gasoline and rub
ber may be saved for the use o.
war, and that their very ma
chimes may be used in some way
by the war department.
War is no frolic and no dut,
that can be delegated to a pait
army, but, on the scale that it il
being waged in Europe, it is ;
gigantic, supreme struggle of ma
tions of people in which all from
the lowest to the highest ar
bending their every effort to say,
their civilization. AS this coul
try goes into the struggle active
ly that must be the spirit. Any
thing less invites defeat, disgrac
and the compromise of American
ideals. Southern Agriculturist.

What of your back yard? Isl Uttered up with refuse
or abandoned to the weeds?
Plow it up and plant potatoes or other foodstuffs 1t
