MILLION BUSHELS
 OATS LOST IN l9|6

The plant disease survey made dur ing tAe lsst saa- and covering more than onsHaIf tse counties in the state -hows H sm8. caused the loss of I3 per cant Of thA oat crop accapdins 10 he report of I Lee Hewitt Plant PathologIst with the University of Ar kassas. who saxs that there Was little disease and loss where the seed had been trtatsd with fornal.n before planting
 Ten million bushes of oats were produced ii Arkansas in 1915 Twelve per cent of this crop, or 100000 bushels were lost because Of smut. The average yield for the state was 27 bushels per acre; consequently three and e-fourth bushels per acre was the average loss With oats at 70 cents a bushel. tn average farm price, s156 was the average money loss per acre By treating seed with formalin before planting with cost of about two cents per acre and the work, this enormous loss to the farm,
  ed Every farmer in Arkansas should see the value of the fomalin treatment and use 1t before planting the 1917 crop.
 Two Causes of Loose Smut.
 Loose smut may be caused by either of two fungi which are so similar that they may be considered as one in the treatment for smut The loss from smut Is greater than is commonly SUD- posed for: 1. Snutty stalks are usual ly shorter than healthy ones and not easily observed ? The boot ssme- times hides the smutty heads which then appear only as immature or bar ren plants 2 Smut ripens several days before cutting, and may blow away, leaving the smutty stalks naked and not noticeable
 Smut is parasite plant that grows inside Of and feeds upon the oat plant. Smut robs growing oat plants of nour- ishment and weakens them seme- times SO much that they cannot push their nanclee or heads out of the sheath of he upper leaf
 Threshine Machine Agent of Infection.
 The black masses of smut. seen when the grain is ripening. consist of countless numbers of spores. When the oats germinate and grow the smut spores germlnate also. The tiny smut plants penetrate and enter the oat plants. growing up within There is nothing to indicate their presence until the heads form At this time tho oRt kernels are filled with the smut Sometimes only part Of the head k affected A part of all of the stalks from eaeh stool may be attack d The thresAiHg machine is the wholesale agent Of infection as crops practically free from smut may be- come infected hy spores carried in the machine from m infected neigh boring fold
 To Prevent Smut
 1 Use seed oats free from smut. ? Disinfect all sacks, bins. etc. with formaIIn. Treat seed oats with for malin when there is any doubt of their being free from smut One pound to forty gallons of water is the same as ono ounce to two and one half gallons Use this strength with the sprinkling method

 Before the opening of the season the Browns were picked to cut fancy capers in the American league race while the Cardinals were banlshed to the National league cave.
 According to recent averages both Boston and Pittsburgh. which teams have been trailing Brooklyn, have made better showing in hitting base-stealing and run-getting than have the Superbas.
 Begins to look as if the western teams of the American league have the Red Sox number. The SoX Will have to travel some from now on ii they would annex their third pennant in row.

COLLEGES URGED CONTINUE SPORTS
 DURING WORLD VAR
Sec'y Baker Makes Recon mendation, That Youths
 May Gain Physique.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Retention of college athletics during the war was decided upon by the National Collegi- ate association at a conference here today after Secretary Baker had de- clared in an address that competitive sports should be continued to equip young men for the reception Of mil itary training.
 Nearly all the eastern colleges and many of the middle west and the coast were represented, and 1t was said the decision meant that with the exception of Yale, Harvard, Princeton and possibly Virginia, all the larger institutions will play root ball this fall. Abandonment of the sports by the institutions named was ascribed to most members of their last years squads being in some branch of military service.
 Princeton and Harvard have lndl- cated they will be represented Ill freshman football this fall.
 '"There is one great criticism or college athletics" Mir. Baker sald- "The strong husky men are made to specialize at athletics, while the stu dious and unathletically inclined are left to fill the bleachers.

Government Will Act,

Washington, Aug. 2.-Drastic ac- ton by the government to meet the labor disturbances in the west and southwest, which officials are sure have been stirred up by German pro- pasanda, will be taken if the situation shows any growth.
 Limitations of an attempt to call out the United Mine Workers should the government not intervene on be- half of the Industrial Workers of the World in labor disputes in certain sec sions of the country. have resulted in the department of justice undertaking broad general inquiry.
 Officials assert that nothing pos sible will be left undone to prevent the tie-up of industries deemed vital Ill the conduct of the war.

Provost Marshal General Stresses
 Grave Task of Exemption Boards

| for the government, are to investigate each case in the interests of the na 1 tion, and never in the interests o an individual. There is not one ex l emption or discharge in the law O. l'regulations that is put there for tn; { benefit of any individual. All ar { therefore the benefit of the natior and to the end that "the whole nation may be team in which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted"
 Therefore no one has a vested right by himself or by attorney, to urge by argument or pleading, his indi 1 vidual ease upon you. You should rigidly exclude this. Ordinarily You should act on the affidavits If you desire more information you may pro ceed to get it. If you doubt the affi- davits you may interrogate other per sons. If you desire more proof You may get it. But no claimant has a right to submit other proof than that called for by regulations or than that you may call for.
 There should be no rules like those of court procedure, no technical rules of evidence. You should proceed to investigate cases about which you are not satisfied exactly as you as an in dividual would proceed to inform yourself of any fact about which you are in doubt.
 Last of all, it is important to say a word about your own sacrifice. The place to which you have been called is one which no man would seek save in the performance of one of the high est of patriotic duties.
 There is not in any real sense, any remuneration. Because thousands of citizens urged that members of local boards should not be placed in a position of performing their grave duties for pay, the regulations pro vide that, ordinarily, the service shall be uncompensated. Because it was not desired that any man be prevent ed from rendering the service by the necessity for earning his daily bread, small remuneration was provided.
 The nation needs men and needs them quickly. The hours will then be long and the work absorbing. The duty is always to take and never to give, and human nature is such that there will be little praise and some hlame. The sacrifice of many of those whose cases are to be decided is no greater than that of them who are to decide them; and your only reward must be the knowledge that, at great personal sacrifice, you are rendering your country an indispen- sable service in matter of the ut most moment.
 E. H. CROWDER,
 Provost Marshal General.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-08-03

The provost marshal general has issued the following:
 To the Members of Local Boards
 You are entering on difficult task. the gravity of which is beyond any. thing that can be said in the way of discussion. You realize the signifi- canoe of what you are to do, and You know that a responsibility. heav- fer perhaps than any you have ever faced, is upon you,
 War demands individual sacrifice to the common cause No people ever approached war with calmer appreciation of that sacrifice or a firmer resolve to Tear it and to present themselves "tO be classified for service in the pace to which it shall best serve the common good to call them" This calm determna- ton could not exist were it not for the confidence of the nation in it's institutions. In this public confi- dence is found the very spirit of the selective service law The most sa- cred rights of the country home, and family are intrusted for adjudication b local citizens ana officials, nom- inated by state governors and ap- pointed by the president. The most equitable rules that could be devised have been prescribed for guidance, and the administration of these rules and the sacrifice that is offered by your neighbors is intrusted to your hands.
 From every one is demanded a sac rifice. But there is one thought to be kept always in your mind. The selected man offers his life There Ais no greater giving than this; and "that thought should guide You always. There may be few who will urge up on you claims for exemption or dis charge that, whatever may be you: inclinations of sympathy or affection you will know ought not to be grant ed. It will strengthen you to remem- Der that for every exemption or dis charge that is made for individua' convenience, or to escape personal loss of money or property, or for favor or affection. some other man whose time would not otherwise have come, must incur the risk of losing his life.
 There can be no room for hesita' tion in such case. Another Fundamental thought is this:
 The Nation Comes First.
 You are not court for the adjust ment of differences between two per sons in controversy. You are agents of the government, engaged in se' lecting men for the government, and there is no controversy. You, actins
