There are no forms for affdavits in
support Of claims Of discharge under
section A, relating to INDUSTRIAL ana
agricultural exemptions, for the rea-
son that the affdavits will be too d.
verse in substance to prescribe form
to fit all cases. The requirements OF
section a. must be complied with and
affdavits fled must be acknowledged
as in case of affdavits filed in sup.
mort of other claims. The local board
furnishes blanks to the men for filing
the claims with the district board but
the applicant must make out MS own
affidavit.
It has been found necessary by inc
local board to call more than 4oO men
for examination in order to secure inc
quota, but 1T present the board IS ac5'
ing only on exemption claims. IN aa.
dition to the quota OF I'll men inc
board is required to certify to the as
trict board number Of names equal 10
ten per cent of the quota, making the
total from this county 21O. An order
from Provost Marshal General Crowder
states that there is no objection to
having local boards continue to call
men for examination even above the
number to be called: The more men
examined, he says, the more complete
will be the repose Of the public ana
Of the minds Of the men whose cases
would otherwise remain undecided
Local boards should continue their Ia,

reason of exemptions and discharges
in the district board on appeal or on

PROFIT IN TREATING FALL SOWN
GRAINS


Fall sown wheat and rye should be
treated with formaldehyde to prevent
sinking smut of wheat and rye smut.
The treatment is cheap and effective
if combined with crop rotation. It
does not cost more than a couple of
cents an acre and not only prevents
the smuts mentioned, but probably in
creases yields by killing germs causing
Seeding blight and various imperfect
ly known diseases of grains.
Formaldehyde is most commonly
used for seed disinfection. Put one
pint Of guaranteed go per cent
strength) formaldehyde into about 40
gallons of water and stir thoroughly.
Before treating, remove the smut balls
from wheat by tanning. Then wet the
seed with the formaldehyde solution.
This is most easily done in one Of the
following ways:
Dip the grain in sacks or wire bas-
kets directly into the solution and move
it around so as to wet all the grain.
Then dump it into pile or leave it
in the wet sacks four or five hours, or
over night. It may then be sown i'm
mediately or spread out to dry. If the
grain is swollen, set the drill accord
ingly.
If more convenient, the grain may
be spread out, on clean floor, wagon
box, or canvas, in layer about two
inches thick. Then, while one person
rakes or shovels it over, another
sprinkles it with an ordinary sprink-
ling can until it is wet. It is then
handled the same as if it had been
dipped. A smut machine may be used
if available.
Grain may be treated any time be-
fore seeding, but it should not be put
into anything which has contained
smutty grain or it will again become
contaminated.
A seed termination test should be
made so that allowance can be made
for any seed injury. This seldom &C.
ours unless the seed has been broken
or otherwise bruised.
Loose smuts can not be prevented
by the above method.-E. C. Stakman,
Minnesota Experiment Station.

A. JOHNSON HELPS ORGANIZE
NEW BANK AT BRISTOL


|. A. johnson Of Bristol, Wis, for
merly Of this city, is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the organization Of a new bank
at that place, of which he will likely
be cashier, according to clipping from
the Kenosha, Wis, Telegram Courier,
sent to his father here. When the bank
IN which Mr.. johnson was employed
was closed up by the state he estab-
llshed to the satisfaction of the bank
ers, the examiner and his friends, that
he had nothing to do with its failure.
The following excerpt from the article
explains the matter quite fully:
1. A. johnson, formerly cashier Of
the now defunct Bristol State bank.
is largely responsible for the organiza-
tion of the new bank and will proba-
bly, be cashier, as it has been fully
demonstrated that he was in no way
implicated in the affairs of the Bristol
State bank which caused that bank to
be closed by the state bank examiner,
and has throughout shown his honesty
and business integrity in helping
straighten out the affairs of the Bris-
toll State bank so that the depositors
would not lose any money because of
the failure Of the bank.
