Sheriffs to Register Men.

Secretary of War Baker Saturday
wired the governor tentative plans to
be followed by the federal govern
ment in registering the men who will
be subject to draft for the army under
the terms of the conscripton bill.
The registration plan was in turn
pissed out by the governor to the
sheriffs of the state. He was request
ed to keep the details secret. and TO
that end refused to give out any in
formation other than that the in
etructons had been received.
In passing the plan on to the
sheriffs it is taken that the war de-
partment expects to call on the civil
peace officers in the several counties
of the state TO assist 10 registering all
young men who will come under the
terms of the blll.-Statesman.

Want More
Livestock
County Agent Leader Out With Sug-
gestions to Farmers.

H. Fl. Beier, county agric ,,tur-
al agent, sends the following for
publicationi -
II. w. Hochbaum, state county
agent leader, calls attention to the
fact that in the campaign for more
food production but fittle Emphasis
has been placed upon the need for
more livestock. He says that the
shortage Of livestock because of
the high prices and the high price
OF feed is serious and that our
future supplies are threatened.
Thinking farmers everywhere in
the state are planning not only TO
increase general crop production.
but are also putting in more land
to grow hay and other fodder, thus
planning to be able to care for
more stock next fall and winter.
Plant some Peas and Oats.
This is serious. Here in the
cut-over section we ought to grow
more feed and have more livestock.
Every farmer should have few
sheep or few young cattle, while
many could we'll handle few hogs.
BY planting peas and oats for hay
now the feed problem for next
winter will be partly taken care of.
Slash your cut-over land and
plant some clover. Get some
pasturage. Grow some feed.
Build Silo.
The farmer who has eight or ten
head of dairy cows or small
bunch of beef stock can we'll afford
to build silo. But he should
plant his crop now and build the
silo later. Peas and oats make a
fine silage crop and produce fine
yield of succulent feed that will
put milk in the bucket and fat on
the "critter", Ask the man who
owns one. Kootenai county now
has about 20 silos. The farmer
can thus get first hand information
of the man with experience.
! Get some young Stock.
! The feed problem for the next
few months can soon be met.
Every farmer should plan to get
some young stock for next winters
feeding. This is a patriotic duty.
Use the farm bureau and the
county agricultural agent to help
you find the stock, or to get infor-
nation on the best kind OF feed to
plant for your conditions. Get
from these sources the practical
experience of farmers OF this
county who have made a success.
