IN REGISTRATION
Chance for Sharp Practice Completely
Eiiminated-All Must Give
Names.

Washington, May 10.--To dispose
Of any fear that county and city reg
istration boards will exercise favorle-
ism in enrolling soldiers under the
selective draft act, Provost Marshai
General Crord der issued a statement
tonight declaring such practices would
be virtually impossible because OF the
explicit terms in which the act IS
drawn. He warned registration offl-
Gals that favoritism easily could be
detected and would be punished with
heavy penalties.
Every precaution." said the state
ment, will be taken to make 1t GER
tain that the registration will be con-
Quoted with exact justice.
''The law is specific and allows no
latitude to the boards, either IN the
matter of registration or in the later
matter OF exenp ption from service. In
fact, the law is self-executing. Every
man within the age limits fixed oy
the selective service act must register
and the penalty Of the law for evasion
Of registration will fall not only on
the man who fails 70 appear but on
anv' member, OF a registration board
who may be shown to be in collusion
with the person who attempts to es-
cape his duty.
Further than this, the registration
boards will never act as exemption
boards except in certain specific cases,
such az where young man who has
registered shall Claim to be employed
in federal, State or local Office and
thereby does come within the exemp-
ton clause of the statute. In cases
like this the facts must be entered
officially and attested.
so far as the other reasons for ex-
emptions under the law are concern
ed, exemptions for men engaged IN
pursuits in which their work is more
valuable at home than in the service.
the authority will lie with a board OF
higher Jurisdiction.
"The law provides the penalty OF
Imprisonment with no alternative OF
fine for any official or any register
ed man who shall make false re-
turn or connive at such a practice.
The safeguards against favoFitism or
evasion are ample"

PLANT PLENTY OF
POTATOES, PEAS, SORGHUM
AND SUGAR CANE

With war, possibly long and ex-
hausting. certainty, it is the duty OF
every American farmer to himself,
his family and his country to do his
utmost to help feed the nation. Al
ready the great world conhagration
has put prices above anything this
generation has ever known, and the
entrance Of the United States into
the conflict must inevitably put them
higher still. Hence for whatever sur
plus we produce we are certain Of a
market that will insure good profits.
We have insiStantly urged that es-
cry farmer produce an abundance OF
the staple food and fe! crops-corI,
oats. hay. wheat and meat: here let
US call particular attention to the
vital importance o. supplementing
these with large acreage Of the go
called truck crcps-sweet potatoes,
cowpeas, sorghum and sugar cane.
In low cost of production per unit
of food value, few crops surpass the
sweet potato. 1t is we'll adapted to
nearly every part OF the South, is
easily grown. and average yields per
acre are high A further advantage
lies in the fact that sweet potatoes
may be planted any time from April
to July, inclusive, and good crops
made. And not only is the sweet po-
tato valuable as human food, but
it is valuable as a pork producer as
well.
Another crop that every Southern
farmer should plant extensively IS the
cowpea. 1t Is one of our greatest hay
and soil-building crops. and also pro-
vides one Of the best Of human foods.
Every farm family should aim to have
plenty of green peas for the table
from the first OF July until frost.
Plant a patch now and follow it with
progressive paintings that will In
sure continuous and ample supply.
Still another valuable crop that we
should not overlook is the peanut. 1t
has a high value as a human food,
and for making cheap pork 1t is one
of the best crops we have. A liberal
peanut acreage is sure to mean good
returns Tor the grower.
Finally, every farmer should make
certain OF an abundance Of syrup by
planting plenty OF sorghum and su-
gar cane South of parallel 80 sugar
cane usually does well anywhere from
east Texas eastward, while north and
west of this territory sorghum is best.
OF course in emphasizing the need
for the crops here named. we would
not for a moment minimize the i'm
portance of the garden. the orchard
the chickens and the milk COWS. Each
and all Of these must be made to do
their part toward feeding the family
and the country.
In this time Of national danger, the
Southern farmer, no less thap4kAs SOL
der inssrns DUTY to HSrRTm;
in helping to feed h& nation, fs cal,
perform a service no less important
than that Of the man. who faces the

tinue for some time or whether peace

1t is argued that the after-war de-
mand on our industrial resources will
be infinitely greater than they have
been. France has just closed con-
tract involving two hundred million
francs, most of which sum is to De

terials to be used in the RECONSTRUCT

in the vicinity Of Verdun, the Argonne
and the heights Of the Meuse.
The danger OF a cessation of build
ing activities does not lie so mucn
in the impression that prices are too
high as it does in an attempt to car
ry the economy idea to harmful
lengths. Nothing could be more in
furious than indiscriminate delaying
of plans for building. This world

would be far-reaching in its evil et-
fects.

but an discriminating economy Is
worse. Unemployment and closed
factories brought about through fit
full and ill-advised campaigns for
public ard private economy, will
prove verftable foundation of quick
sand for the serious work we have
on hand. We need prosperity in war
time even more than when we are at
peace. Business depressions always
are bad, but doubly so when we have
a fight on our hands. The declara-
ton Of war can have no real evil ef-
feet on business What bad effects
are apparent are purely psycnologi-
cal and largely of Our own foolish
making. For our markets are the

We need more business, not less.

Ih0pS THE CHTNTRY BABY
DRINK CLEAN MILK:

Clemson College, S. c., May To-
No town of any size allows milk to
be sold in it's limits that has not
been produced under certain pre-
scribed sanitary conditions. To sell
milk in the city means that every
precaution is taken to see that the
milk Is produced in sanitary way;
that the COWS are free OF any dis
ease, and that the barn. mixers, and
utensils are clean. In most cases
men do the milking. On the farm
under average conditions small
boy or some one else who wants 10
get out Of the job does the milking.
In too many cases no care Is used TO
produce clean milk. the object being
to get the milking done IN the quick
est and not in the best way. The
result is that often milk that is very
dirty is brought into the house
Then no matter how clean the mllS
ia handled thereafter it gets Dad
very fast. 49,
TO get clean milk. begin with the
cow and the mixer. A. simple test
to gee Whether the milk IS clean -
as follows: Wash quart bottle
clean. fill it with fresh milk ana
Mace in a warm place. II the ciao-
her when formed is solid and later
sinks to the bottom with the Wne9
on top, the milk is clean. II the
clabber is full Of holes like yeast
bread and soon rises to the top with

is dirty. Care should be taken 10

HOGS AND VELVET BEANS
A GREAT C0MBINAT1Os

Tcr .he farmers Of the lower South
who, because Of the boil weev1l, are
seeking a substitute. for cotton, vel
vet beans and hogs offer one OF the
best combinations we know OF. We
have never advocated the entire elm
ination of cotton, but as supple
ment to it. corn, beans and hogs are
probably more promising than any
thing yet found. In fact. we believe
it the Iowa corn and hog farmer
could add velvet beans to his COM
bination his lands would be worth
$500 to s4o0 an acre, instead OF sl5o
to 5000, as they now are.
Last year at the South Mississippi
experiment station velvet beans, de-
spite a severe July storm and exces-
sive rains, produced from 2,50a to g.
900 pounds per acre of beans IN the
hull It Is certainly safe to say that
an acre of land that will grow Is
bushels OF corn will, at the same
time, make 1000 pounds per acre OF
beans. These beans in the hull have
a feeding value only 10 per cent less
than corn, so the ton Of beans Is
equal to 1900 pounds OF corn, or 81
bushels. This added to the 15 bushels
of corn made on the acre. gives as a
total yield Of feed equal to n bushels
of corn.
OF course a per acre production OF
feed like this means low cost, and
especially is this the case where the
hogs harvest the crop, which they
should by all means do. Another
consideration that should not be lost
sight of is the fact that the bean
vines add a very considerable amount
of nitrogen and humus to the soil.
With eight or ten brood sows, forty
or fifty, acres In corn and beans, a
permanent pasture Of Bermuda grass
bur and white clover, and a success
sion Of grazing crops for the spring
and summer, the farmer in the lower
South has an excellent supplement
to his cotton crop. In fact, he may
make it substitute instead Of sup
plement, thus whipping the boil weev-
il by starving him.
Hogs and beans are putting many
boil weevil-ridden sections on theil
feet again, and we commend the com
biuation to our ,readers.--Thor Pro

The Building Situation.

Building operations throughout the
country continue with but little aoate-
ment. the first quarter OF this year
showing a loss of only traction oi
one per cent. as compared 10 1910
while 1916 displayed great gain oV-
er 1915. Hoggson Brothers. the Ne"
york. Atlanta and Chicago builders
announce that they started active OPP
erations in. April on FIVE buildings 1of
hanks alone in different sections.
The impression is gaining strength
that while present costs OF materials
entering into the construction OF
buildings appear to be high, the pros
pects are for prices to go 10 sui
higher levels. The American Arcnl-
tect points ont that inasmuch as
dollar will buy only three-fourths as
mnch OF any commodity as it woulo

dard type of craft and enlist all her
shipbuildmg plants, public and pri-
yate.
I have investigated the capacity
Of the German yards and without
laying down any additional ways she
could have under construction at any
given time about $50 submarines OF
the size Of the U-a3 which came to
Newport last year. The So0-ton SUD
marine requires about thirty feet OF
clear width to allow working Space,
and its length is sometimes under 2oo
feet. Each of the three 625-foot dry
docks, al Wilhelmshayen, for Instance.
would permit OF the construction or
six submarines on its floor, an" eight
boats could be constructed in each
of the larger docks. Also the floating
docks, of which the Germans have 80
many, would form excellent building
ways. The smaller drydocks 500 feet
or less in length, and the floating
docks would take two, three or four
submarines as the case might be.
Moreover, ways suitable for su0na-
rine construction can be built rap
idly on foreshore or river banks, and
the actual shipping and dock yard c1-
pacity, 30 far as building ways Is con-
cerned, could quickly be doubled. It
the Germans thought At. they could
have 1000 submarines under con-
struction at one time.
The limiting factor as to time-ca-
pacity, however, would not be the pro-
vision of ways or even the construc-
ton of hulls, but the construction OF
the internal equipment. OF this the
engines would present the least diffl-
Guilty, for Germany is the great D1esei
engine country and engineering plants
could take care of the demand. Tne
principle difficulty would be to supply
the special apparatus, perlscopes' gy-
roscopic compasses. and the other
mechanical details, which must be the
yerv finest workmanship and require
special knowledge and skill. Germany,
however, is famous for her opticai
work. and unless there was a short
age of materials, instrument makers
should be able to keep pace with the
shipbuilders.
CAS- to the time for construction,
one large shipbuilding firm in TINS
country has assured us that it could
turn out a submarine Of the German
type in five months. Our Naval Con-
struction Corps estimates that It
would take seven months. If Ger
many is concent -ating her whole ship
huilding resources upon the task, l
believe that six montSs might be tax
en- as a fair average.

GERMANY BUILDS
U-BOATS BY SCORE
Able to Turn Out 1,s00 Year, Says
Scientific Authority.

1t is more than likely that Germany
has On the ways and approaching
completion not fewer than 500 SUD-
marines Of the U-53 type, and that
within six months she will have about
700 submarines afioat, and in twelve
months 1900. Evidence at hand in
dicates that German yards have room
To keep work on $50 submarines OF
the U-53 class constantly under way.
the foregoing statements were made
by J. Bernard Walker, editor OF The
Scientific American, who spoke OF the
submarine peril before the National
Security league at the annual meeting
at the Hotel Astor, says the Ney YORK
Times.
"In war, perhaps more than in any
other contests of strength, Mr.. Walk
er. said. 'it is perilous to underesti-
mate the resources and strength OF
the enemy. That is one OF tae truismS
which are so true that we are in dall-
ger of overlooking them altogether.
Thus, in regard to the German SUD-
marine campaign, there is tendency
to underestimate its potential danger
60 the allies and therefore, in the
event Of its success, to ourselves.
It is generally believed that the SUD-
marine infested areas are so complete
ly covered by the anti-submarine
neets Of the allies that the strength
of the German attack is constantly
being weakened by very large losses;
but il We con6ne ourselves entirely
to official statements, we shall find
that the allied governments have new
er made any definite statement what
soever as to the number OF subma-
rines captured or sunk.
at is only recently that We have
been able to obtain conservative es-
inmate We are informed that total
loss Of one hundred would be, Il any
shing, an oyerstatement of the truth.
"For some months have had q
growing conviction, based upon a very
close study of the campaign that the
submarine losses were not nearly so
large as represented, and, that with
the growth and size, speed and sea-
keeping qualities of the submarine, the
problem Of meeting and breaking uR
the so-called blockade is becoming in
creasingly difficult.
It is my belief that, after the Jutland
Rght Germany determined to bend its
whole ship and engine building capa-
city TO great fleet Of submarines. 1t
is fact that granted a sufficiently
large feet of submarines, the allies
can be so hampered that they. cannot
win such an absolute victory as to
enable them TO dictate the terms OF
peace. Germany has stated that It
is her purpose to, force the allies TO
compromise peace, and her ability
TO put out the thousand or more sub
marines which would enable her to
bring the allies to their knees.
Aof course, the only plan by which
Germany could build 1000 submarines
in a year would be by the manufac-
turing method that is, to adopt STAN
