FEEDING THE PIG.

College Park, June 14.-No one Is
doing a more important work in help
ing the nation to 'arm and farm" than
the member of the boys agricultural
clubs of Maryland who is growing a
pig. He" is growing the most pork at
the least cost and training himself to
be an efficient producer Of livestock.
He is following out to the last little
detail the instructions given him by
his County Demonstration Agent re-
garding the production Of high grade
pork. He is putting nto/practice the
method Of feeding, recommended by

should be fed to secure the greatest
weight at the least cost. To do this
It will be necessary to feed both for
growth and fat. The object of getting
vitality and strength Of body and con.
stitution does not enter into the work
as it does with breeding animals.
"The more you act as servant to
the pig, in bringing the feed to the pen.
instead of requiring the pig to hustle
for himself, the more gain in weight
can be secured from the same amount
of feed. Corn is the chief grain to
depend on, but the same green feeds

SELECTION OR CONSUMPTION

For three months past men
have been searching their souls
to find how best to serve. 1t IS
a difficult thing to appralse
honestly and rightly the value
of ones work. How is the in
terne in a hospital, or the skilled
mechanic, or the trained farm
hand to know where he is most
needed?
Thousands of young men, cap
able of military service and
liable to the draft, have consclen-
tiously awaited an answer to
their question at the hands OF
the Government. The draft was
to give it, and will do so. But
we are not yet quite certain as
to the exact modus operGndl,
despite the many instructions is
sued to the exemption boards.
But the matter seems to work
out about this way: The man
who is called out is first given a
physical examination. If he
passes this and makes no claim
for exemption, he is forthwith
taken for the army. If he does
make a claim, or a claim is made
for him, his case is inquired into
further.
This is probably the simplest
method of procedure, but it is
worth remarking that, so far as
the selective principle of the
draft is concerned, it rests with
the Individual to set the wheels
going. If the selective process
begins only when exemption
claims are filed, then obviously
such claims may properly be con-
sidered to be queries raised for
the purpose Of helping the Gov
eminent and not as protests.
Under the system as outlined
the claimant for exemption must
apparently prove his case before
he can be released. In some in
stances this may have to be in
sisted upon rather harshly; but,
however many there may be of
such instances, not the slightest
stigma should attach to the fill
ing of claims in general. Any
young man who, knowing him
self much better than the Gov
eminent knows him, is honestly
in doubt whether he can best
help in uniform or at home, is
only aiding the Government
when he raises the question.
In other words, while we have
the selective draft in principle,
the enormous work involved in
raising the new army has render
ed it necessary to pass On to the
drafted men themselves the in
itiative in making the draft Sc
lective in practice. five should
take the position that filing ex-
emption claims indicates real de-
sire or attempt to evade the SER
vice, we would be turning the
principle Of selective service in
to one of compulsion. Baltimore

London, June 13.-In a swift and

places were attacked. but so far as is
known at present by far the heaviest
losses occurred in London town it.

and 223 men were wounded. Sixteen
women and rs children were killed
end 122 women and "a children were
wounded.
The German squadron consisted OF
about IS machines and the down town
section of London was their chief OBJ
jective. Many bombs fell in the East
End where buildings were destroyed
and others badly damaged and scores
OF persons fell victims to the ex-
plosions. In one instance alone ten
children were killed In school and
so were injured.
British airplanes assembled imme-
diately the signal was given that hos
tile machines were coming but the
Germans remained at great height
few swiftly and evidently the British
lighters had difficulty in the pursuit
for the loss of only one German ma
chine has been recorded.
Three hostile airplanes appeared
over the busiest part of the down town
section of London at 1880 this morn
ing. From the roof Of the Associated
Press Office the airplanes could be
distinctly seen at height Of at least
two miles In the triangular formation
which is a familiar sight to any one
who has visited the Western front
The trio were so high that they ap-
,peared like three shiny flakes of, snow
against the bright sky. The anti-air-
craft gunners were doing fairly credi-
table work in this their first battlt
practice in many months. The raiders
apparently were little too high TO
the guns.
II is stated that the air raiders dis
charged aerial torpedoes as well as
bombs. The destruction of industrial
buildings where several persons were
killed Is ascribed to the torpedoes.

ish are Pursuing Germans Closely.

That the German line in Belgium is
crumbling under the British offensive
is evident. This appears in the British
announcement of the German retreat
on front of approximately two
miles southwest of Warneton.
The British pressure Is directly In
front and in the section where the
Germans recently lost commanding ar
tillery and observation positions
When the British took Messines ridge
they caused the German retreat. The
British followed closely and gained
ground east of Ploegstreertwood and
near Gasspard.
The French front Is comparatively
quiet. Several small German attacks
preceded by violent bombardnent
were repulsed.

DAMAGE BY ARMY WORM.
Pest Invades Abbeville and Anderson
Counties.

Anderson, June 12.-S. M. Byars.

tremendous invasion of army worms
on all growing crops in the southern
part of Anderson county next to the
Abbeville line. The worms are doing
very destructive work and farmers
are organizing to combat them, work.
ing under the direction Of Mr.. Byars.
In Abbeville county, where the in-
vas:on is greatest, many farmers ran
plows all through Sunday to put in
bitches around infected fields. Mr..
Byars says moths laid their eggs early
this spring on alfalfa and vetch, the
first growing crops, and the attacks
on these fields are more severe than
on other crops at this time. The pests
are beginning to work on cotton ana
corn.
