FILTHY HOG WALLOWS
SPREAD DISEASE

Louisiana club boys are encouraged
to construct wooden or concrete wal
lows for their pigs and to keep lheAi
in reasonably clean condition. lhese
are made by digging a shallow hole'
hig enough for the pigs to lie ln' US
ing concrete for the sides and bottem
and mastering it onto the earth II IS
. GOOD plan also to put in drain SO
that the water may be readily chang
ed The hogs thereby have access to
plenty of good water during the not
summer months, which IS essential 10
a thrifty condition, without having %
use the muddy and filthy wallow holes
that are so common over the country
ond which are often the means OF
spreading contagious diseases, espe'
cially cholera.
In addition to making hogs more
comfortable, these wallows can be used

THE POTATO SCAB Is
NOT HARD TO CONTROL
crop Rotation, Clean Fertilizer, ana
Treatment Of Seed Are Effee'
tive Measures.

Among the troubles with which tne
grower Of Irish potatoes has 10 con'
tend is the disease commonly known
as potato scab. This disease a1ects
the tubers themselves, and not onls
makes the potatoes unsightly but oe'
creases the yield.
The potato scab is not a dl1llcul0
disease TO control, and An expenditure
of a few cents and few hours tnle
nrevious to planting the seed WILL
practically make certain that the crop
will he free of this disease. IN oruei
to accomplish this, three things mus'
be considered.

that may have been present in the
soil has had sufficient time to De

! 70, Do Not Use Infected Fertilizer.
T. sometimes happens that when q
grower has scabby potatoes he feeds
them to his stock. Many OF the po'
tatoes will become mixed with the ma

TO the fields. If potatoes are planted

he claimed no exemption. Upon
receipt of notice to report for SER

sending in word that he would
not be taken alive, asserting that
he had "rather die at home than
to be take to Europe to be killed
by the Germans. adding that he
was provided with two rifles and
more than 100 rounds of ammu-
milton and would make the of1i-
cers pay for his life dearly.
Deputies Lacroix and Jones
were unable to locate the drafted
man Friday night when they went
to his home to bring him in to

NATIONWIDE DRAG
 FOR AGITATORS
Gregory Orders Sleuths to Close on COnspirators- Similarity of Methods in Widely Separ- ated Towns.

Washington, May 29.-Attorney General Gregory today instructed United States attorneys and marshals throughout the country to use their utmost efforts to arrest and prose- cute all persons responsible for the agitation which has manifested itself in localities from New England to lTexas against the registration June 5 of men subject to selective draft
 This agitation has made itself felt somewhat in many sections, but thus far there apparently is little connec- | tion between the outbreaks. Officials have undertaken an exhaustive inves- tigation to determine if the whole antidraft sentiment is not rooted in extensive machinations of German propagandists in this country, having a central headquarters.
 Color to this theory is lent, in some degree, by the marked similarity in the method of procedure in widely separated communities. Some offic- ials believe that the entire agitation is manufactured by German agents, who, baffled in their original pro- gramme calling for an armed uprising of German reservists in this country upon Americas entry into the war, have turned their energies to this method of hindering the military plans of the government.
 If such is the case the conspiracy will come to nothing, officials believe. The Department of Justice, it was authoritatively announced tonight, ex poets 100 per cent of eligibles to reg ister, and prompt prosecution under the criminal provisions of the law will be instituted in the few cases where the law is not observed
 To bring out the full registration Attorney General Gregory today in- vited the entire nation to constitute itself a committee of the whole and every man of military age commit tee of one to report slackers.
