Instructions as Given.

1T has been determined by the pro-
vost marshal general that persons who
fail to appear for their physical exam
ination after having received their no
tees to do so from the local boards,
by such failure, waive their right to
kpysical examination, and are acceptei 4
by the board without any such eXamin-
alton. Their names will be certified
T. the district boards as chosen by the
local boards for the national army,
III they do not then appear to
claim exemption they will waive there
by the right to such exemptions as
they might have claimed and their
names will be certified by the district
boards to the adjutant generals of their
respective states as persons for the ma
tional army The adjutant general will
then mail them a notice to report for
duty at a specified time and place, and
such notices will be given publicity,
according to the regulations of the
conservation act.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-08-20
Classed as Deserters.

Such persons then become subject
t. the military authorities at the time
designated by the adjutant general for
them to report. Should they fail to
comply with this notice, they become
deserters from the army and will be
treated as such by the military author
tiles.
1T is, therefore, a matter OF vital
concern, not so much to the govern
ment as to the persons themselves, to
see that they give the correct address
for their notices to be mailed to them.
Should hey fail to comply with the no.
tices after receiving them, they become
automatically drafted without regard to
physical examination or to exemption
or discharge.

Washinston.-The largest naval ap-
preparation bill In the history Of the
United States. carrying authorization
for the expenditure of approximately
1851 .000. 900. has been approved by the
naval committee. Its passage is as
sured. The present bill is $4,000. 900
greater than last years bill which up
until that time was twice as great ~
any naval bill ever offered to Con-
gress of the United States. The forti-
fication bill, carrying total of more
than $51,000,00O for coast defenses,
was passed.
The army appropriation bill, the
third element of the administration
$500, 0O0. 600 defense program, still is
in the House military committee,
which is expected to complete 1t next
week. Estimates for the army reach
total OF more than $3.50, 100000, ex-
elusive of numerous deficiency meas
ures resulting from the border mobil-
ization and the rising cost Of war ma
terials.
The navy bill contains provision tor
the construction of three battleships
at about $2s. 100000 each; one battle
cruiser at $26.O00.000; three scout
cruisers at 100000 each: fifteen de-
stroyers at 100000 each; one de-
stroyer tender, $2.300.000; one subma-
rine tender, 100000; eighteen 800
ton coast submarines at 100000
each.
The committee also needed secre-
tary Daniels recommendation that
navy yards be fitted to build large
numbers of capital ships; authorizing
the expenditure Of an additional $12,-
10000 for that purpose in the event
the department is unable to make sat
isfactory contracts for any vessel in
the present bill or left over from the
preceding measure. This would make
available total of $1s.000,000 for
equipping navy yards. For the three
scout cruisers still awaiting satisfac-
tory bids, the committee raised the
cost for hull and machinery to &c..
100000 from $5,000,0 900.
The building program will not re-
quire nearly SO much money as was
required in last years bill, but num-
Der of new things have been added
and some increases have been made in
old items. One increase Of interest
is in the appropriation for aircraft,
which is increased from $3,500,000 to
$5,133.000. To aid the recruiting serv-
ice, the committee has voted into the
bill an item of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of an automobile for each OF the
fifty-three recruiting stations.

Out Of Their Crop.

That Western Canada IL Indeed
Mistress Of Wheat to the extent that

the production OF any country on this
continent is striking fact proved Dy
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced SIC, 1000. 900 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield OF
% bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1.Ol1 ,5O6. 900 bushels.
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine.
with 1921 600 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre. and Chile. with
100000 bushels or 10 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces OF Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
842, OOO,O 600 bushels out Of the total Ca
madam $4,000, 600 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much Is no dis
enlargement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada In approximately
the same area. f*+
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit. the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity Of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
