PICKING THE ARMY
If NO. COMES OUT OF WHEEL
ALL NO. is FACE DRAFT.

Further details of the plan by which
the young men to compose the new
national army will be selected imperN
sonally from Washington, were wired
from Washington today.
Under the plcn proposed by Gen.
Crowder every card in every registra-
ton unit in the United States will be
numbered from one up to the limit of
registrations in that unit
Corresponding numbers will be
placed in a box and drawn out by the
military and naval committees of the
house and senate until as many mum.
bers are drawn as are necessary to
make up the 100000 men who win
be selected at the first drawing.
Thus, for example. if the committees
should draw out of the box No. 1S2,
every young man in the country whose
registration card bears the number 1872
would be regarded as seleetive for
service. The provost marshal general
has received from each registration
unit word of how many registrations
there were in that unit.
The numbers to be placed in the
box will be numbered to the highest
number of registrations in the largest
unit in the United States.
Thus. if No. 1 should be drawn out
by the committee it would mean that
there will be one man drawn from ev-
cry unit. but if high number such
as 700 should be drawn no man would
be selected from many units, for the
reason that there were not that many
registrations in many places.
| If by this process any state should
be called ON to furnish more than its
i fair quota of troops its numbers
would be reduced without affecting the
draft because large surplus Of men
will be drawn to provide for such
emergencies. 1t has been determined
by the provost marshal general that
this is the best method that can be
devised to insure a fair drawing.

IOWA CROP SERVICE
REVIEW OF THE WEEK BY DI-
RECTOR OF WEATHER BUREAU.

For the week ending June 26, 1917
The weather during the last seven
farming operations and the growth OF
days are exceptionally favorable for
crops. The temperature was about
normal and the rainfall was generally
light, except in the northern counties,
where heavy showers occurred, accom-
panied in some localities by severe
wind squalls which did some damage
to crops. Corn cultivation progressed
rapidly and most fields are fairly
clean. Much replanting was done on
late, overlooked bottom land. but some
fields intended for corn will be de
voted to catch crops. All small grain
continues to do we'll Early oats, rye,
barley and winter wheat are heading
and in southern counties early oats
are well filled. First cutting of alfalfa
secured in good condition with fair
yield. Meadows have improved, but
the hay crop will be light. Potatoes
and all garden truck are in excellent
condition. and a good crop of early
potatoes seems to be already assured
The set Of apples and other tree fruits
is generally good south of central
Iowa, but over the northern counties
the set is lighter on account of cold
rainy weather during the blooming
season The June crop OF apples il
not yet over, but is expected to bt
about normal. The damage to grapes
by winter killing in Pottawattami'
county is not as great as was antici
pated. A good rain would be yer!
beneficial in the southwestern am
south central counties.

only time above 100. We also had
an unusual winter, the longest cold
spell on record. And | burned near
ly a ton of coal, nearly twice as
much as / ever used in one year
here. 1t was just cold all the time,
for several months, so that if it was
not bad enough to need the furnace
gas heat was resorted to to take off
the chill Then, too, last summer
established a record as one remark
ably cool-just pleasantly cool all
summer. So you see, Iowa with her
floods, billiards. and twisters is not
the whole thing in the unusual
class. Those of you who succeeded
in keeping alive through the winter,
and lodged the cyclones, can look
with more or less complacency upon
the floods, for they will pass away
and good old Iowa will head in at the
top of the list with her rich harvests.
Iowa never fails, always has enough
for all her people and some to spare
for others.
Until that hot spell hit us Califor-
MIA had unusually large yields along
all lines. The cereal crops are much
above the average in acreage and
yield. The walnut crop the largest
ever known, now reduced probably
so per cent. Lemons also hard hit
1t is too early for conclusions regard
ing oranges. Berries of all kinds
suffered greatly, and in places beans
were injured by the heat, but there
is a tremendously increased acreage,
and the crop has been contracted at
10 cents per pound,-double the usual
retail price. Apricots, peaches,
prunes. nectarines, plums, ETC., not
injured and an abundant yield. Can
neries have started and are paying
from $50 to $45 per ton for these
fruits, whereas the prices have here
tofore been about 500 per ton. There
are multitudes of gardens this year
on lots that have lain idle, and vege-
tables are cheap. The government
has contracted for the entire cannery
output on this coast, even including
salmon and all other fish, all ION &C.
