The steady preparations of the ma

has exactly the same chances as
the rich man. There is to be no
personal favoritism or privilege
shown; the local board, the dis
trict board, the Governor and the
President all have their duties
outlined, and it is their duty, as
well as the duty of every citizen
to see that the law is applied
fairly and justly. 1t is estimat-

men drawn will be legally excused,
and that Grant parish will be
able out of the 200 men drawn to

the selective service law persons
designated to perform this SER
vice are as effectively drafted for
this duty as are the registrants
who are to be selected for mill

members of local boards will be
excused from performing this

that the governor closely scruti-
nize each case presented to him

cuse of members of local boards
only in case of great hardship.

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By R. L. Sloan
Cut the High Price of Flour by Sow
ing Wheat.
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

Cut the High Price of Flour by Sow
ing Wheat.
Influenced by the high price
of flour many farmers have ask
ed about the culture of wheat.
Reports indicate that wheat was
growp quite extensively here for
home consumption years ago.
That fact coupled with the scat
tered successful wheat fields in
the state at the present time lead
to the belief that wheat may be
grown yet.
The soil best suited to wheat
is one which furnishes a fine yet
friable seed bed with a compact
subsoil. Good drainage is i'm
portant. Before sowing wheat
it is necessary to thoroughly pre-
pare the land. Breaking as deep
and as early as possible are es.
sential. The land for wheat
should be plowed in July or Au-
gust and kept narrowed until
sowing time in October or Nov
ember. 1t should be narrowed
at least twice a month until SOW
ed, nor should the seed be sowed
earlier than the middle of Octo-
ber.> They may be either disced
or narrowed into the ground in
the absence of a grain drill.
Where some other crop now
occupies the land it will be best
to harvest that crop and then
prepare the land rather than try
sowing with insufficient prepa-
ration.
The Blue Stem or Mediterran-
can is the variety most highly
recommended. From one to one
and one-half bushels of seed
should be sown per acre. Where
drilled a bushel is, sufficient but
probably where narrowed in more
seed should be used.
For the prevention of smut the
seed should he treated with form
alin before sowing.
The demonstration agent will
take pleasure in furnishing direc-
tions in sowing time.
