crate editions ever published under
the auspices of organized labor to our
knowledge.

superior to anything in the labor news
paper line that has come to our no.
tice. 1t is an edition that every men,
Der of organized labor should be proud
of. Its contents are educational and
instructive TO the rank and file. 1t
will serve as a ready reference on
many matters vital to labor and no

times during the future by men and
women of labor who desire to inform
themselves correctly on events hap
pening in the circles of labor during
this period of time.

BASIS OF ESTIMATES

tRS Associated Fress
WASHINGTON. July la-In response
to Senator Brandegee's resolution call
ing for an explanation OF the Census
Bureaus population estimates to estab-
llsh quotas for The Forthcoming army
draft Secretary Rediield to-day sub
mitted report to the Senate showing
that the estimates were based upon
actual registration figures in each
State and subdivision.
He pointed out that the large esti-
mates for certain localities, particu-
larly industrial Centcrs. was accounted
for by the abnormal grouping Of men
OF draft age at those places.
The resolution was introduced after
several Senators had charged that the
population of Northern cities had been
padded and the Southern estimates cor
respondinEly reduced
Secretary Redfeld said:
Since it was Impossible in any even,
TO estimate precisely the population Of
cities. counties and States on the basis
of the registration. the simplest and
speediest method-that based on the
assumption that the proportion which
the reCistranis represent Of the total
population is the same throughout the
country-was adopted In this man
ner there was obtained the fairest pos
sih!e basis for the lpportionment OF the
draft. since the localities whose popu-
lation estimated may be exaggerated
are those in which there is an excess
of men twenty-one TO thirty years Of
age inclusive. while the ones whose
population is moderated are those in
which the proportion OF men OF these
ages is smaller than the average"

Save the Sweet Potato

In Alabama alone this year at least S,0O0,000 bushels of sweet potatoes will rot if the old methods of harvesting and keeping this crop are pursued,' said Elm melt A. Jones. This enormous loss is preventable. The average Alabama farmer brings to market sweet potatoes harvested in a crude way, bruised and scared to such an extent that the keep ing quality is absolutely destroyed. In order to prevent this enormous loss it is up to the Alabama farmer to handle his sweet potatoes with the same care as is used in handling eggs. If sweet potatoes are carefully taken from the furrow and packed in boxes, crates or baskets and removed to a potato cur- ing house or shipped to market under the proper atmospheric conditions they will keep indefinitely.
 "The food preparedness bureau of Bir- mingham recently issued bulletin de- scribing the proper, methods of packing and grading farm products. Reference to sweet potatoes is made In this bulletin and it would be well for all producers to secure this pamphlet and study the approved method of preparing their prod ucts for market. It behooves every Ala bama farmer to do his bit in preventing this enormous loss of valuable product that is sure to occur unless propertly harvested"
