OFFERS GROUND
FOR CULTIVATION
NJ, C. & ST. /. RAILWAY TENDERS
USE OF RIGHT-oF-WAY TO EN-
PLoYEs FOR GARDENS.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 90
The Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway has, in an effort to re
duce the high cost of living to its
maintenance of way employees, ten
dered them the use of its right-of-way
for cultivation 1t is believed that
this action on the part of the road
will enable hundreds of its employees
to raise garden this year who might
otherwise be prevented.
The fact that in many places the
right-of-way was susceptible of cult
walton, and that many of the section
forces would be glad to avail them
selves Of the opportunity, was brought
to the attention of the management
recently and orders were at once is
sued that the men should be accorded
the privilege of the use of such lands.
There are $50 sections on the sys-
tenn, and during the spring and sum-
mer seasons each section is looked
after by force of from ten to twelve
men. The use of the right-of-way for
gardens would enable several hundred
families to have vegetables during the
summer. in many instances, the gar
dens along the right-of-way will be
the only reliance these forces will have
for garden truck. The land has never
been in cultivation, and along some
stretches of the road should bring
splendid results.
The orders are to the effect that
section men and other maintenance
of way employees may cultivate the
land wherever such cultivation does
not interfere with the operations Of
the road. That such an order will be
the means of reducing the high cost
of living to several hundred families
is apparent.

jects. those who are obviously physi-
cally unfit, and in general persons en-
ployed In the public service, mariners,
workmen in arsenals, armOries and az
the navy yards. The regulations will
designate specifically Aow these gem
eral exemptions are to be made.
Those who do not fall within these
general classes must appear before tha
exemption board within their district
and set forth their claims. The mere
fact. for example, that man is mar
ried and has children will be no bar to
his selection for service. He must
demonstrate that he contributes to the
support of his family. The village
idler whose wife takes in washing will
probably have difficulty In convincing
the board that he should not go into
training
The call win be made by the presi-
dent for certain number of men sutfi-
GENTLY large to make 1t certain that
the necessary number for actual sery-
ice will be obtained after examinations
for one cause or another.
The board which is now devising the
scheme by which the men may be
chosen has experimental with various
devices for drawing by lot. 1t is prob
able that this phase of the draft will
be made public ceremony, which will
be carried out at the capitols of the
states or in some other public place.
If the registrant has run the eXemp-
ton gantlet he will present himself be-
fore the military authorities for physi-
cal examination. If rejected, he will
be dismissed, but a record Of his case
will be kept. If accepted, he Will be
sent to one of the sixteen environments
where he will undergo training TO fit
him for the rigors of war or held In
readiness to enter one of the training
camps which will be drawn upon to I'LL
gaps ia the ranks.
A Tremendous Task.
Armys officials do not minimize the
difficulty ~ the intricate task ahead
of them. The president is wrestling
with the problem of selecting the ex-
emption boards, so that there will be
no basis for charges of favorltism or
political preference. The normal board
probably will be the same as that
which conducted the registration, but
there will probably be many excep-
tions to the general rule. An effort Is
being made to obtain men only of the
highest character for the appellate
boards.
General Crowder and his assistants
are very careful not to disclose even
the most general features Of the sys-
TEN upon which they have virtually
agreed. They fear that if it were ex-
planned now changes that might be
made before its final approval by the
president would lead to confusion. For
that reason the word is not to be given
until every detail has been pondered
carefully, and when it is given there is
to be no retracing of steps.
