AT SMELLING.

The Jewish young men of the North
west are well represented among those
who have officially been accepted at the
United States Officers Reserve Training
Station at Fort Smelling. Lieutenant L.
F. Rosenield of Nebraska has been ap-
pointed one of the instructors and is now
in command of one of the provisional
companies organized from among the
men registered for the course Of train
ing. A number Of Twin City men have
been accepted while enrolment of
others was postponed until notified to at
tend subsequent camps. Among those
listed for prospective commissions are:
Emmons Abeles, David London and
Hyme Goldfus Of Minneapolis; Harry
Arnowitz, and George G. Click of St.
Paul; Robert Calm, Minnesota City;

liberties only under strict military super
vision.
The Y. M. C. A. has established head
quarters at the fort and the command
ing authorities have requested that all
creeds have representative care for the
spiritual needs of the young men there
quartered. All of the Jewish men have
had previous military training of some
kind and are either college graduates or
undergraduates. Most of them are too
young for commissions of higher rank
than second lieutenant

ed of, David London, the retiring presi-
dent of the Minnesota Menorah, Hyme

at the university and until recently con-
nected with bonding company.
There will be another reserve train
ing camp, beginning some time in Au-
gust to which the other applicants will
be accredited. Every one who completes
the training at this camp will receive
a commission, provided his qualifications
entitle him to one. An urgent need at

,Jaoanese MiIlet==A Substitute for Corn Silage
The Experience of Maine Dairyman

comes about Sept I, in a slack time
Just prior to the corn cutting. and dis
tributes the fall work to great advant-
age.
The following points in ensiloing are
10 be guarded:
/. The tramping down of the silage
especially on the sides and getting ii
as firm and tight as possible.
.. To provide as heavy a corn
pressure for the settling of the millet
as possible. 1t Is a great advantage
to have a heavy tonnage of corn sill
age dumped in on top of the millet
in order to get a first class quality
of silage from the millet.
8. Millet should be out before the
stems harden at all. when they have
their maximum succulence.
This dairyman has had considerable
experience in the raising of millet and
in SLIDING both millet and clover and
he finds that the millet has all the
feeding value that good second crop
clover has and that stock eat it as
gresdily as they do corn silage He
further emphasizes the point that it
Is much more desirable to ensilo the
millet than to run the risk of making
a poor quality of hay of the crop,
which is very likely to be the case in
our usual Septembers. In his 10
years experience with millet there
have been only two or three first quar-
tiers of September in which 1t was
possible to cure a heavy millet crop,
the result being, in the usual season,
the farmers gets a pusty and exceed
ingly poor quality of hay from his
millet. If instead Of trying to make
a dry forage out of this millet it is
moved, raked Immediately. and Dump
ed into the silo just before the corn
cutting takes place the farmer has
distributed his work easily for the sea-
son, taken advantage of a range of
crop possibilities and of tonnage val
ues, all of which should be kept in
mind and appreciated. especially in the
season of 1917 when time. labor and
land are at maximum values.

The Statement.

"By the terms of the selectivc draft
act, says the joint statement, the
President has designated June 3 as
registration day for the purpose OF en-
rolling those citizens who are of mill
tary age and condition. An eligible
list of men within certain ages avail
able for service Is to he established
by this registration, from which II Is
subsequently proposed to select those
who are to bear arms for the United
States in the present struggle and
those whose proper sphere Of duty Is
along other but no less useful lines. II
Is of great national importance that
this registration should he as COM
plete as possible in order the govern
ment may be able to make proper Sc
lection.
The Congressional enactment I'M
der which this registration Is con-
Quoted was supported by members Of
both houses Of Congress affiliated with
both Of the great political parties.
Party lines were not drawn dur
ing the consideration of the great
measure. Men Of both parties support
ed it and both parties should now Coz
operate in aiding the government IN
law.
Accordingly. we. as chairmen OF the
national committees OF our respect vo
parties, have addressed a commuuita-
ton to officers Of state political orRa =
izations throughout the country, ash
ing them to put into operation tho
party machinery in their respective
districts for the purpose OF aidrg
registration officers in securing COM
plete enrolment OF the citizens affect
ed. We have submitted this suggestion
to our political organizations in every
state, because we believe that these
organizat ons are splendidly equipped
for effective work in this directoa.
we sincerely hope tina. all members
Of our organizations and party wo'k-
ers generally will join with other cit
zens in this movement TO insure tho
enrolment Of every person who comes
within the provisions OF this law and
is subject to enrolment"
