Washington, June 30.-Warning Of
the gravity of the task, the war de,
partment today called upon state gov.
ernors FOR their nominations to the up
per tribunals that win single ont the
men for America 8 new armies.
On each board the farmer, the big
employer and the laboring man each
will have "a friend at court
In letter to each governor, Secre>
tary Baker drew attention to the
double responsibility th rests upon
the bcards-to raise armies and at the
same time avoid injuring the vital in
dustrial needs of the nation. He de-
clared it was the ''most vital problem
of the war to strike balance between
the military and industrial necessity"
At the suggestion of the department,
every board will be composed or one
member il close touch with the agri-
cultural situation of each district;
another member with wide knowledge
Of the industrial situation of the dis
triet affected and one in touch with
the laboring man preferably a repre-
sentative of organized labor. In addi-
tion there will be one physician and one
lawyer.
Men For the Boards.
Secretary Baker emphasized that the
needs of the nation demand only men
of the highest standing for these diff
cult positions.
"They must be men possessing the
mentality, experience and information
that win enable them to solve the
very difficult economic problems to be
encountered, he told the governors.
"They must be men of such stability,
patriotism and integrity as will insure
the interests of the nation against the
urging If private claims.
The most delicate task of the whole
draft falls upon the shoulders of the
appellate boards. The final and entire
responsibility Of sorting out the Tin
dispcnsablrD men in the fyitally
necessary industries is left to these
groups of men.
"To the district boards, Baker
wrote, ffs intrusted the most vital
problem of the war. Two things are
to be acoomplished--to raise armies
and to maintain industries. As the
war proceeds more and more men will
be required for the battle line and yet
there are certain industries that must
be maintained to that end.
"Any conceivable diminution of men
must to some extent interfere with in;
dustry. The diminution must be made
and hence it is self evident that the

let for grading the road ON this hill
The commission authorized the hard.
surfacing of the Rex-Tigard road from
the Multnomah county line to New
berg, about Is miles. No definite am
cunt was fixed, but it is estimated the
work will cost approximately 100000
which will come out of the S6,000,00O
bond issue.
Astoria Paving Authorized
On the Columbia River highway the
hard surfacing Of the road from AS
toria to Svenson, nine or 10 miles, was
authorized No definite amount was
fixed on this work, but its approximate
cost is to be about 100000.
The commission voted to spend $4,000
on the road from ROseburg to the Sol
diers Home, about two miles. Doug
las county is to cooperate in the work.
1t was further voted to give Marion
and Claekamas counties five miles each
of hard surface on the Pacific High
way. The hard surface strips are to ad-
join, there being five miles extending
in either direction from the county
boundary line. This money, the amount
of which was not definitely fixed, will
come from the $6,0O0,000 bond issue.
The same is true of four miles of
hard snrfaeing allotted to Yamhill
county on the Sheridan-T Tillamook road.
Work is now in progress on one mile of
this stretch, and the commission early
Thursday agreed to pave three miles,
as the property owners will do the grad
ing. Later another delegation of prop
erty owners appeared, headed by State
Senator yintoD of McMinnyille, and
urged for an additional mile.
Dangerous Hill Road to Go
As they agreed to pay all costs of
preparing the road for hard surface
and the cost of the pavement will be
relatively lessened by having an addi-
tional mile to lay, the commission
agreed to their proposal. This money
also viii come out of the $1,000, 900
road bonds.
1t was agreed by the commissioners,
on condition that Claekamas county
matches the money for work this year
and provides funds for completing it
next year, to allot $4,000 for eliminat-
ing the dangerous New Era hill road.
The Clackamas county commissioners
promised to give a definite answer 10

no such burdens have been shown to
exist, nor has the probability of their
development been demonstrated. It was
not shown that military transportation
had been in the past, or IS likely to be
in the future, a financial burden to the
carriers. On the contrary, certain facts
were referred TO which indicated that
the transportation of troops had been
more remunerative during certain mo-
bilizations in the past than ordinary
passenger transportation.
Railroad Services Appreciated

THE MANNING TIMES.
Peanut Picker Saves Money,

There is much lost motion with
those who grow peanuts and attempt
to pick them by hand The cost Of
picking, in this way, is usually around
25 cents or more per bushel, and this
same work Gamble; more efficiently
done for 8 to cents a bushel by a
peanut picking machine. A. P. Spen-
Ger of the Florida station figures that
it costs around 10 cents bushel to
pick by this machine, and around 80
cents by hand, says Orange Judd
Southern Farming. -f.a
Not only will it pay to get one of
these machines because the work can
be done more cheaply, but because it
can be done in a better way. These
machines are quipped with fans and
other machinery which separate the
hops and other foreign material
ehereby giving cleaner and higher
grade product than can be had by
picking by hand. The running of the
peanut through the picker knocks all
the dirt and other trash off the hay,
giving a better grade hay than could
be had when picked by hand. gG
Certainly no one with sufficient
acreage should pick peanuts by hand.
1t is waste ofNmoney to do so.
Those who haven't sufficient acreage
to warrant the purchase of one Of
these machines, as an individual,
should certainly cooperate with their
neighbor and buy one. 9

PROPER WAY TO SHIP HAY

Hay commission dealers say that
if the farmers would pay more atten-
tion to the proper shipping of hay,
there would be fewer complaints
when it reaches destination. No
doubt better prices would be obtain
ed if this matter was kept in mind
when shipments are made. On COM
mission man says that men lose hun
dreds of dollars each year by the i'm
proper loading of the hay.
Bales weighing between 85 and 90
pounds are those that sell best. The
bales should be laid on edge in the
car for the reason that air circulat.
ing from the bottom to the top of the
car can go through the bales, while
air cannot go through the bales che
other way. New hay should be loaded
on end, says Orange Judd Southern
Farming.
The care of hay should have at
least 10 tons or more in it for +.'.c
reasons. You will have to pay freight
on 10 tons whether or not that
amount is shipped. If you happen
to get large car when you ordered
a small one, designers that fact on
the bill of lading.

Milk-Fed Chickens.

Last April farmers wife in Clar-
endon county, S. c., started to feed
and home use. From rs Barred Ply
mouth Rock hens she has sold $69.63
worth of chickens besides supplying
the home table,. She nov has 25
more birds ready for market. These
25 when sold will bring the total re-
ceipts for sales to over $75 for one
years work. This is a good income
from 25 hens and is an example
which others may follow. Starting
with suitable chickens Sor feeding, a
mixture of ground meal, quantity
Of buttermilk or sour skinned milk
and supply of crates In which the
chickens are confined were all that
was necessary.-Orange Judd South

Managing Your Orchard.

orchards i have ever seen. Upon in

ably impressed with Mr.. Buffers,

of peach trees four rows of cowpeas
and one row of sweet potatoes, the
row OF potatoes being in between. two
rows OF cowpeas. asked Mr.. But
ler to tell the readers Of Southern
Farming something as to how he
had handled his Young orchard to
make it the picture it was, and am
pleased ITO give herewith his expe-
Eience with this orchard. Editor
orange Judd Southern Farming.
3; r. Butler, Moore County; N. C. N
Inc land on which my peach or
chard stands was cleared in 1918,
broken with q tractor, and planted
quite late to cowpeas, which made a
scant growth and had I. poor stand.
In the spring of 1914 it was again
broken and planted to corn, which,
owing to- the, drouth,, gave a. yery
small yield. That fall, after the corn
was harvested, broke the land a
third time, with a two-horse plow,
and set peach trees in December.
Il bought the trees from reliable
nurserymen, about 2fOO Bellies and
Elbertas, about 100 j. B. Hales and
fertilized the trees with two pounds
equal parts Of bone meaf and cotton
seed meal. This was disked in about
each tree at distance of IL inches
from the truck. .r
Inc land was prepared for cotton
during March and April by double
disking, and toward the last of April
three rows of cotton were planted
3 !-2 feet apart between the trees,
which had been set 20 feet apart one
way, and 18 feet apart the other.
This left the outer rows of cotton
q 3-4 feet from the trees. l drilled
IN 75O pounds of 8-3-3 fertilizer, and
secured an almost perfect stand.
l planted long staple cotton. and
the yields were most unsatisfactory.
am of the opinion that the land
had not brought up sufficiently for
the profitable production of cotton,
but l think that the trees were bene-
ntted by the cotton fertilizer, any
way. Be that as it may, it is very
expensive method of fertilizer trees.
early in August / applied about
half "a pound of nitrate of soda to
hai1 the trees, working it in just out
side of the spread of the branches.
This undoubtedly stimulated tree
growth. The trees were cultivated
with the cotton, and at other times
as we'll, my effort being to keep
constant dust mulch about them.
In October the trees were examin-
ed for borers, and treated with lime
sulphur and tar. They were very
heavily pruned in January and Feb
ruary, and early in March of 1916
they were fertilized again with pure
bone meal and cottonseed meal This
time the fertilizer was applied in fur
rows, and narrowed in with spike
tothed harrow. Since then the or
chard has been narrowed twice, and
hoed number of times.
: planted sweet potatoes and cow
peas between the rows this year. It
is my intention to harvest the peas
IN the rows, and then to ploy in the
vines. I hope to SOW crimson clover
over the entire place in the fall.

Getting Rid of Weevils.

The boil weevil is a tough propo-
sition, and we have found no way of
destroying them in this section. Af-
ter all that has been said and done
to get rid of them, it seems the best
way to combat them is through cul-
tural methods. That is, by deep and
thorough breaking, fertilizing very
literally, and planting an early ma
turing variety of cotton. Then give
it rapid and thorough cultivation con-
tinued until late in the season.
Gather the crop as fast as possible,
and then destroy the stalks by pas
turing or by some other means

SETTING PEACH TREES
Good Start Half the Battle.

Habersham county is the heart of
the north Georgia peach industry.
Within a three-mile radius of the lit
tie town of Cornelia there are a mil
lion peach trees planted, and over
400 cars are shipped from there dur
ing good season. The soil is what
is known as the Sessie graveliy loan,
with outcrops of feldspar here and
there on the hillsides. It is a reddish
gray soil, underlaid by a compact red
clay, and it is famous as fruit soil.
When the fruit growers of Haber-
sham county first planted their or
chard they never bothered to ferti-
lize them. They simply set out the
trees and left the rest to nature. To-
day orchard setting has become fine
art.
After the field has been cleared, it
is plower rather deeply, and left fall
low until planting time Then the
field is laid off and the trees set 18
feet apart each way. Most of the
growers dig the holes for their trees
about 18 inches deep and from % to
30 inches across. This gives plenty
of space for the roots to spread out
in during the first season. A few Of
the peach growers, however, use dy-
Mantle, marking off the field and put
ting half stick of dynamite at each
intersection, and touching off couple
of rows at d time. They say it is
cheaper than digging the holes, l;..5,s
an expert in Orange Judd Southern
Farming.
Most of the peaches s;:own in Hab-
ersham are Elbcrtas. 'Ihere a late
variety is dcsi~H.'. t., October peach
is planted. I.esc are set as yearl-
ings. The ioo.s are trimmed down
to frorl 2 . 4 inches long, and the
tops arc cut off at about II inches.
Where older trees are planted they
are cut back to 18 inches. All of the
trees are banked until the time comes
for setting, being laid in trenches and
covered with earth. Before the tree
IS set, from two to four pounds of
raw bone meal is put into the hole
Nnd mixed thoroughly with earth.
Then the tree is set very carefully.
One worker holds the tree in place,
while the other fills the hole and sets
the roots straight. The tree is set
from ! to 2 inches lower than it
stood in the nursery and packed down
into place
After the tree has made good
start it is fcrtilized with acid phos-
phatr. Some growers put two pounds
of the acld phosphate about the tree
each year. Others put on four pounds
and make it last two years. All of
them SOW it by hand in circle about
the tree, some 6 inches from the
trunk, and cultivate it in.
