More Hay Possible by
Growing Millet.

Where an increased hay crop
is desired or one crop has failed,
millet may be used to meet the e.
mergency. Late June and carly
July seedlings may be expected to
yield satisfactory crops in normal
seasons.
Millet grown on rich soil or
with liberal fertilization on me-
dium soil in average years III Ohio
produces a satisfactory hay crop
before fall frosts come, even
when seeding is delayed until
July. Foxtail millets are most
commonly grown in this state.
The Hungarian variety is early
and adapted to uplands of mod
crate fertility. The German va
rlety requires a longer season and
is adapted to rich bottomland.

FOR ALL CITIZENS
CALL TO NINE MILLIONS OF MEN
TO DO THEIR PARTS IN CON.
DUCT OF WAR,
DRAFT PRINCIPLE FAVORED
President and Cabinet Consider Means
Of Raising Armies Of Economic
Soldiers az Well az Fighting
leQions.

Washington, April 16.-National ser.
vice for every American is the princi.
pie upon which the administration is
said to have begun to found it's plans
for the conduct of the war with Ger
many.
Every American citizen will be
called upon to do his bit toward the
achievement of victory.
President Wilson and his cabinet, in
a two hour session mapped out the
national service program. This pro-
gram calls for millions of soldiers for
the economic as we'll as the martial
legions that will be arrayed against
Germany.
List Of Forces Wanted.
Here are the principal forces to be
enlisted:
An army Of 100000 fighting men to
be raised and trained within the next
two years.
A navy of 100000 men to be raised
and trained within the next year.
An army of 100000 men to be re.
cruited at once to supply labor needs
in increasing crop production.
An army of 100000 skilled artisans
to build 1000 wooden freight vessels
a year for the transport of food and
war munitions to the forces fighting
Germany.
An army Of 100000 or more skilled
and unskilled laborers to produce war
munitions and materials.
A multitude of new commissions to
organize the national efficiency to be
created.
1t Is possible that eventually all of
these forces will be organized on the
compulsory service principle. A pro.
posal to apply selective conscription
to the army to all men between the
ages of 81 and 40 is growing In IA.
vor in congress and in the administra.
ton.
If this plan should be adopted all
men of these ages would be registered
and examined to ascertain the national
service for which each individual Is
best fitted.
