 A change will be necessary in re- gulations for the registration of the sick and of persons who expect to be absent from their home counties on registration day. Tentative regula- tions furnished you prescribe thas such persons report to city clerks on the sixth day after the Presidents procla- matjen. For instructions as to how they may register, see Paragraphs 3l and 6l. Since local authorities; now have cards, there is no reason why such persons should wait until the sixth day and Presidents proclamation will direct them to report at once. Please direct such city and all the county clerks to obtain registration cards, certificates, and placards of in- structions from the registration board or from the mayer, and be prepared to register such persons immediately af- ter the publication of the Presidents proclamation. This will require that you at once direct the attention of such clerks to Par. 31 and 61 of the tenta- tive egulations which are in the hands ef all sheriffs and mayors. Where great numbers of such persons are ex- pected to report arrangements should be made to provide places and clerical force sufficient to accommodate such persons.

PRESERVING GREEN
BEANS BY DRYING

Clemson College, S. c., June IL
All varieties of string beans can be
dried. If desired to dry them whole,
use only young string beans. Wash
and string, put in wire basket or
cheese cloth bag and blanch in boil
ing water from 6 to 10 minutes; de-
pending on the age of beans. If it
IS desired to preserve the green color,
add 1-2 teaspoonful Of soda to each
gallon of blanching water. Drain well
and spread or cloths or in sunshine,
in order to remove the surface mos-
ture. Place on drying trays and put
in evaporator or oven at no degrees.
Slowly increase temperature to 14O
or 145 degrees (in about 1 to 1 1-2
hours) and finish drping at this tenn
peraturc. They will dry in about 9
