the facts to the local board, saying
that he had never received his notice

nhvsically qualified, claimed no exemp'

EQUAL, JUSTICE IN
SELECTING ARMY
UTMOST CARE, GOOD JUDGMENT
AND HONESTY OF PURPOSE
MUST PREVAIL.

In a bulletin to all county chair
men, Rutledge Smith, chairman of the
state council of defense, says:
THE execution of the selective
draft law whereby citizens are taken
from private life and put in the Ma
tional Army, requires that the utmost
care, good Judgment, and honesty of
purpose prevail, to the end that equal
and exact Justice may be done to all,
and with special privileges to none.
Every citizen who is proper sub
iect for military duty should serve his
country, unless there are specific legal
reasons why he should not. These
reasons must be stated to the eXemp
ton board under oath, and accom-
panied by statements of additional
persons under oath, and the state
ments sworn to must be facts. 1t Is
fair to state that each and every afti
ldavit made before exemption board
will be subjected to searching
scrutiny and inquiry as to the truth q
all the statements contained therein
and where statements are found tc
he misleading or false, vigorous pros
ecution will result in every offense
The punishment for violation OF IT,
selective draft law is Imprisonment
and there is no alternative OF fine.
Therefore, it is your duty to Civ
this the widest publicity so that fh'
public may know the exact conditlon
which surround each and every exeml
|tion or discharge and that it NAV D
realized when a person is exempted
that he has good and lawful reason
you will understand that person
making affidavits in order to DO a
act of kindness to some nelghoor @
cupies a very delicate position, and
behooves everyone to consider we
the statements he makes before n
ing his name to a solemn affidaVi
which will certainly be subjected
a searching investigation"

Brig. Gen. James Parker COM
mander Southern department, was
born in New Jersey February 20, 1854,
and appointed to the military academy
from that state in 1872. In 1876 he
was made a second lieutenant in the
Fourth cavalry, and has continued in
that arm of the service except during
the Spanish-American war, when he
served in the infantry. with increased
rank.
General Parker Is looked upon as
possibly the best trainer Of troops in
the United States army. During his
many years of active service he has
probably trained more new men than
any other officer In the service, and in
similar capacity he is expected to
accomplish great results from the new
National army. He is medal of honor

| furious to the plants and are not Sutii
GENTLY attractive to pay for the cost
Of operation. Mechanical ingenuity is
needed. however. the specialists point
out, especially H. de,>' pu. Nv.
machinery for aiding in the deStruc-A "a
of weevils in the fall and also for u
better cultivation of the crop.
1t is estimated that boil weevils now
cause 10 the cotton Industry loss of
100000 bales of cotton annually. Al
though farmers in older regions. in
many cases, are increasing their pro-
ductiOn, there is loss in the newly in
Tested regions which offsets that gain.
A conservative estimate shows that
since the weevil has invaded this cOun-
try ii has caused loss of 4.550000
bales of cotton. with a value of about
$4,000 600.
The figures which have been cited
show clearly the enormous reduction
In cotton production which the boil
weevil causes.
In order to make the picture com
plete. however ii is necessary TO call
attention to the effect the weevil has
on the production of crops other than
cotton. Wherever the insect invades
region, diversification of crops and
animal hushandry receive powerful
impetus. This is shown. for INSTANCE.
in the state of Mississippi. For many
years preceding the advent of the boil
weevil. namely 1904-190S. the average
value of all crops WAS S1167S3 lO4.
For the boil weevil years. 1909-1913.
the average was S132,O3l. 800. The
loss in cotton production was more
than offset by the increased planting
of corn. forage and other crops
General Account Of Problem.
The bulletin mentioned above, which
Will be sent to anyone on request. con-
tains a general account of the boil
weevil problem. II deals with the his
tory of the insect in the United
States, the damage II has done in diff
ferent regions. the reasons for local
variations in damage. the indications
for the future. the habits Of the weevil
as far as they are related t. control

injury it causes by methods which
have been tested in many experimental
fields and by large numbers of practi-
cal planters.
