fact. that they are in the inciplent
stages of certain lethai disease,
the board member pointed ont.
my personal opinion is that
his will save more lives than the
var will take from the first draft, y
Ae said. "Many Of the men our
board has examined have never
been in the hands Of d physician
before in all their lives. Many II
these were rejected because OF
diseases of which they were abso'
lutely ignorant, and chief among
these diseases is consumption
incipient consumption. Particu-
larry among the negroes we have
examined we have found a startl.
ing large percentage of incipient
tuberculosis. This means two
things; First, that now these men
know they have consumption, 1t
is not too late for them to over
come the disease, with proper
care and living conditions; and
second, that the people will wake
up to the dangerous prevalence
of the white plague and will take
active steps to combat the disease
at its source.
"Furthermore, it should not
surprise me to see the institution
Of a general health survey for all
people at stated intervals. From
what the examination of the men
eligible to draft has shown US, |
can think of nothing which would
be more beneficial"
Among the interesting statistics
given ont by this board member
is the fact that approximately
one man out OF every thirty called
for examination is genuine
shirker, and the variety Of excuse
given is equally interesting.
Some of these shirkers, particu-
larly among the less welI-to-do,
have wives who have hitherto
been employed in various occu.
pations, adding their earnings to
the family income. Those wives
have suddenly given up their po-
sitions, in order that they might
be "wholly dependent" upon
their husbands for support. One
young man offered as his claim
to exemption to military service
the fact that he was member of
a Bible Class.
By this one board the following
statistics have been compiled
Proportion of those called for ex.
animation who have responded
50 per cent; proportion of those
examined who have passed the
physical test, 6l-62 per cent; pro.
portion Of reflections; whites about
l out of 4, negroes about ont OF
3; most important cause Of rejec
ton, for whites, heart affections,
for negroes, tuberculosis; princi.
pal exemption claim, marriage,
approximate proportion Of genuine
shirkers 1 to 80.
Relative to exemption on the
ground of marriage, the fact tina
a man is married will not exempt
him from service unless he can
demonstrate absolutely that he is
the only possible support Of hi'
family, and that the members Of
his family would become charges
on the public in case he were call
ed to military service. Marri.
ages contracted since the conscrip
tion law went into effect will no
be counted as valid chains fo
exemption in any event. N
lawyers will be permitted to pre-
seut exemption claims. Only on
mana negro--has tried to hav,

SILOS SOLVE THE
DAIRY PROBLEM FOR
VALLEY RANCHERS

Meridian, April 2s.-'Tn this section,
where corn silage can be grown abund-
antly. well filled silos will work won
derful economy for the farmers and
prove great boon to them when
grains. commonly used for livestock
feed are so greatly in demand and es-
pecially in the event Of q hay crop
shortage" said Colonel Elias Marsters,
one of the most prominent farmers and
livestock dealers Of this community
today in discussing the crop outlook
for the present year. "rhe use Of sill
age the past several years has fully
demonstrated its food value. II and
alfalfa are our cheapest combination
Of feed. The silage supplements the
lack of fat in the alfalfa and the al
falfa, the lack Of protein in the corn"
Colonel Marsters also emphasized the
fact that corn silage constitutes a
cheap feed, and that It always serves
as an insurance against a hay short
age. which however. seldom occurs in
this section. Until the advent of silos
into the Boise valley. Colonel Marsters
states, dairymen were greatly handi-
capped by the lack Of succulent win
ter feed containing enough water with
IN itself SO that the internal economy
Of the cows could work at its best. On
his highly developed 80-acre farm in
the heart OF the Boise valley two years
ago, Colonel Marsters planted three and
one-half acres Of corn for silage, and
from this crop he secured 70 tons Of
silage for his silo. Last year he plant
ed five acres and from this crop Sc
cured rs tons Of silage which has fed
through the past winter 10 cows, 80
sheep and large number Of hogs, with
nve tons still remaining for feed. The
silo on the farm Of Colonel Marsters is
stave silo. and he prefers this type
to the solid concrete silo because of the
fact that silage is susceptible to freezes
In the latter class. However Colonel
Marsters says that he unhesitatingly
commends the cement block silo above
all others, II properly built. The silo
now in use on his farm was construct
ed at an expenditure of only 5000 in
Guiding an estimate for the labor Of its
erection.
Within the past few years the Me-
rtdian country has become widely noted
for its modern silos, and this year con-
sequent to existing conditions, many
more are likely t. be built.

activity in advertising his home county

for t,tning the tide of immigration this

In the industries Of agriculture and
livestock, Canyon county leads all hei
sister counties of the state. and Mr.

clearly that the several communities

inland empire through convincing re-
citals of concrete examples Of the won
derful and extremely profitable crops

Emphasis has been given to the fact
that in the Wilder community last year,
some farmers secured as great a wheat
yield as "a bushels per acre, and that
In the Deer Flat community which is
now one of the most highly famed po-
tato belts in the entire United States,
many farmers last year raised potato
crops equal to the valuation Of their

vertising slogan is Come, see, investi-

1t has proven highly potent one, for
it has given him wonderfully lucrative

farm products and livestock, and when

PA6e'S WEEKLY LETTER
by John H. Page, Commissioner of Agriculture.

Little Rock, Ark. November Nth, 1917. Last week 1 failed to write you on account of hav- ing been called to New Orleans to judge the agricultural pro- ducts of the great fair and live stock show. and l wish 1 could have the space to tell you the things of interest seen at that great fair. On my return trip ] tfaVeled by daylight, a distance of 800 miles through a strictly cotton country, and 1 saw only seven crews of cotton pickers in the field. Between Memphis and New Orleans, a distance of 400 miles, there was not as much as flye bales of unpicked cotton in the fields to be seen from the tram. This means that nearly al Of the cotton has been picked
