NEGROES ARE TO WORK
ON ARMY CAMP FARM
Gen. Wood Recommends That Draft
ed Negro Troops Be Employed in
Raising Vegetables.

Charleston S. c., Aug. IS. - Maj
Gen. Leonard Wow recommended to
the war department today a plan ap-
proved by Herbert Hoover, Food Ad-
ministrator, whereby it is hoped to be
able to use number of negro troops
drafted and at the same time relieve
prohibitive price in perishable veg
etables already manifesting itself
around the divisional encampments in
the South.
General Wood has a finely worked
out plan whereby 100 acres for every
divisional camp and cantonment will
be put under cultivation for the pro-
duction of vegetables most needed in
the army and is quite certain it will
minimize, if not eliminate, this item
of expense. He has recommended that
especially qualified men" be assign
ed the task of cultivation under the
direction of experienced agricultural
experts. There is sufficient land at
all of the camps, he said, to greatly
increase the acreage, if necessary.

ARMY CALLS NOW
TO VOLUME ERS
CHANGE TO CHOOSE KIND OF
SERVICE is BEFORE NAME is
CALLED.
By G. V. HEIDI.

Since the local exemption boards
haev gotten under way and are certi-
flying men for duty in the Army, it
is but fair to the men who are effect
ed now and to those whose numbers
have not yet been called, to lay the
following facts before them.
Telegram quoted below from the
War Department covers every mans
case explicitly:
Army Recruiting Officer,
Atlanta, Ga.
after a registered person has been
called for military service by his local
board and directed to appear for phys
ical examination, he ceases to be eli
gible for voluntary enlistment"
From the above it can be seen that
the board posts a mans name and
that man loses. his chance to volun
teer after the exemption board
mails him Letter directing the man
to report for physical examination,
teer.
In the past few days a great number
Of men have found themselves in the
predicament of having been ordered
to appear for physical examination by
their local boards and they have inn
meditely come up to the Army Re-
cruiting Office and attempted to vol
unteer, but in each case the local re-
cruiting officer has had to tell them
that he could not accept them as vol
unteers after they had received their
notice to appear before their board.
These young men waited too long,
and, consequently lost their opportun-
ity to volunteer and choose their ser
vice.
To the man whose serial number is
about to be drawn, desire to say that
delay in his case means the loss of his
choice of service.
To all single men between the ages
OF 10 and 40, | desire to. say that II
you have no reason to keep you out
of the army it is your patriotic duty
to volunteer at once. You get your
choice of service now. There are va
cancies in practically all branches of
the army You will all join eventually,
so why not now?
To the young man who is unwisely
advised to wait, | desire to say that
your advisers are depriving you Of
the best chances for promotion and
preferment. The trained soldier GER
tainly will command in this war, and
the best way to be trained is to en-
list at once. Don't delay. The loss of
single day may mean the difference
to you of carrying a sword or a gun.
There is a recruiting sergeant near
you or you may see your local post
master for further particulars. Re-
member this: If you wish to choose
your branch Of the service, you must
volunteer before your exemption board
calls you for physical examination.

PLET CRlSP'S QUOTA. BOARD
DOING GOOD WORK.


The call goes out tomorrow morning
for two hundred more of the register
ed men of Crisp for the great world
struggle. Chairman John Ward and
Judge W. P. Fleming and DR.. Smith
of the local exemption board have de-
termined upon this step in order to
get the additional men required to
make up Crisp county's quota. One
third of the men to be notified are to
appear for physical examination five
days from tomorrow. One third will
appear five days from Friday next,
and another third will appear five
days from Saturday. From this addi-
tional call it is expected the full quota
from Crisp county will be secured
The exemption board urges that
those who get the notice to appear,
simple come for the physical exami-
nation and show up at the proper
time at the county court house. The
board urges that no questions be ask
ed, as there will be little time for
answering.
The exemption board is highly graf
flied at the showing made already in
Crisp In many counties according to
newspaper reports, as low as two and
three out Of seventy-fve persons have
Tn Gric Wy
expected only one out of five would
qualify. This ratio. already has quail
feel fer sergite without even asking
for exemption.
Many negroes have gone north since
registering and they have tried to
transfer registering without knowing
how to proceed. These through igno-
rance have shown up as absent and
thereby worked a hardship on the
board Several have come in and ex-
planned their absence and are now
regularly listed as required by law.
Out of the whole list of the first call
"A are passed and certified for service
without having asked for exemption.
The local board passed upon the
first application for exemption last
Monday morning between twelve and
one o'clock. Since that time the board
has worked ceaslessly, almost night
and day in an effort to pass the work
on hand Where exemption claim is
granted, discharge notice will be
mailed as soon as passed upon. Like
wise where discharge is refused on
grounds filed for exemption, notice will
be mailed and persons so refused ex-
emption will be certified. Appeals will
then have to go up to the district board
Number 1 at Savannah. Persons ap-
pealing will have ten days to file their
appeal.
