be a great boom to the farmers and
merchants living on the east side Of
Snake river valley, as the valley
lies along the route to be taken by
the new road from Goshen to Sugar
City.

Goshen cash store, said his troubles
were about over as the rail road
company would erect station at
Goshen where he could get freight

it from the Firth station.

spending the week on their home

Tom Langon and ]. ]. Pinkerton
were in Aberdeen, Tuesday. Seeing
the dark clouds pass over us and
thinking 1t had rained Tom hurried
home just to find that it had only
sprinkled little.
G. H. Neubauer says since his well
is finished he don't need any alarm
clock as the farmers coming after
water get there before the alarm
rings.
Dry farming in this section has
sure been dry for the last two
months. A few drops of rain on
June 8, marked the last fall of mois-
ture until July 21 when another lit
tie sprinkle cooled off things little.
On such fields as were sowed too
thick the grain had not grown quite
tall and strong enough to stand the
pressure of those few hot winds
which we have had lately, and in
some instances, dried out consider
able. Grain sowed properly will
make about IL bushels to the acre
this year. Worms and gophers caus-
ed some damage this spring. Grain
properly treated in the process Of
dipping in blue vitriol does not seem
to be bothered much by the worms,
and the gophers can easily be done
away with by poisoning them early
in the spring. Some spring wheat
was seeded around here but the sea-
son seems to have been too short for
it to mature. Experiments are being
made with Sudan grass, and it seems
like 1t stands these long dry spells
better than any other crop we can
raise for winter feed for our stock.
1t is now about two and half feet
tall. Last years crop grew over five
feet tall by the end of the season.

INCREASING THE YIELD
ON DRY FARMS

Dry farming in the desert land of
Bingham county has not yet reached
dry farm methods. Many of the So
called dry farmers are not yet at
tempting to employ the best methods
and many who produce what they
consider a fair crop are farming only
about 60 per cent efficient. When
they put the other 40 per cent into
their methods they may expect to
increase the yield accordingly.
There is a magazine published in
Chicago called System" and 1t un-
dertakes to teach business men how
to be efficient in doing desk and Of
fee work, and thus getting full SER
vice and full results from their own
efforts instead of having desk all
topsy-turvy and things put away
promiscuously. The editor of The
Republican recently took time to in
terview all the business men of a
small town concerning dry farming
and while doing SO. noted the con.
dition of their respective desks and
Offices. All of them but one was
in disorder, with dust and dirt galore
looking as il they were never put
in order. Most of these men dis
cussed dry farming about as super.
ficially as they took care of their
desks. OF course they did not claim
to know how to dry farm, but their
desk work and office work could not
possibly be more than 60 per cent
efficient-about on a par with dry
farming as it is done in the valley.
What we need in this county is not
only System" on the farm, but
System in offices; less loose soil
and lint on office furniture and more
of it on the farms. And the small
town referred to is not different from
others; all the so-called business
men in the county would do well to
wipe their desks and begin to study
system in business for the times de-
mand it, and If they keep pace with
improvements in farming they will
have to go some. Dry farming is
going to rise and stand upon its own
feet. A farmer here and there is
furnishing the information, and it
will be passed on to all the farmers
thru this paper.

FEW CREDITS ALLOWED FOR
NEXT DRAFT OWING TO
LIMITED VOLUNTEERS
Questionnaires Being Mailed Daily Sc

OF Liability for Service; Expianati0n
.-pfsF ives ~

The eyes of the young n1e1 of the
country as well as those Of relatives
and friends have fallen on the ques-
tionnaire sent out by the exemption
boards in connection with the classf-
cation of the men who registered for
army service in June.
The document contains sixteen
pages and is replete with information
so that no person should experience
difficulty in filing it out correctly.
The Tegistrants will be divided into
five classes according to the order in
which they will be called for service,
''the single man WithaTt dependent
relatives coming the first crack out
of the box.
Failure to answer the QUESTIONABLE
! within seven days after receipt is
punishable by fine or imprisonment
and failure to receive one does not eX-
cuse the registrant, whose business 1T
is to get one, for the boards duty is
rendered upon mailing ont the aOcu-
ment.
ALI exemptions and discharges here:
tofore made are by this new regulation
revoked, therefore those formerly dis
charged will have to undergo another
examination, having been restored to.
! their original place on the list.
The exemption boards all over the
United States were to mail out tve
percent of questionnaires to the regis
trants on Saturday and to follow by five
per cent each day until all registrants
receive one of the important docu-
ments.
The next draft will probably be
made in February the authorities f1g+
urfng that it will require about SO days
to classify the registrants after the
return of the questiOnnaires.
There were 1890 persons registered
in Henderson county. The first quota
from this county was 153, but on ac-
count of allowances made for those
/ who enlisted this county had to furnish
only 21. It happened that their num-
bers were drawn so as to take seven
coiored and fourteen white persons.
The white are all in the training camp
but the colored have not been sent
tbecause camp preparations have not
been made for them.
| The next draft will call for 153 men
and there will be only a very few cred
is. if any, because of volunteers.

buried with the details of the new

Fort Caswell, N. c., Dec. IA, 1917.
To the Peopleof Henderson County:
Having received great many in
quiries from7the parents of boys in the
Sixth company, asking why their boys
cannot come home on fuFlQn 3D.
would like to make the fol- wins aystate-
ment which may explain conditions
somewhat:
The company commander has no
power whatever to grant burroughs to
men in his company, but can only re-
commend to the commanding officer
Of the post that they be granted fur
Ioughs. Up to the present time, no
furloughs have been granted except
for the most urgent reasons, such as
sickness and death in the immediate
family, and sometimes they are not
granted for these reasons.
The matter of granting furloughs to
enlisted men of the Sixth Co., does not
lie with me, but is entirely in the
hands of the commanding officer OF
Fort Caswell.
The following men of the Sixth
company are at present absent with
out leave, and will be tried for this
military offense:
Corporal Albert V. Edwards,
Corporal Fred Justus,
1st Glass Private Sam Freeman,
1st Glass Private Robert L. Whit
mire,
1st Glass Private Emmett Lott.
Private Harry Williams,
Private Robert Jones,
Private Esley Hudson,
Private John P. Mills,
Private Albert ]. Corn.
The commanding officer of Fort Cas-
well has stated that in addition to any
sentence these men receive from mil
itary court for their offense, that he
himself will see that they are not al
lowed to go to France with their owI
organization, and will either be pui
in a disciplinary company, or trans
ferred to the national army.
wish the people at hoe to know
that every application for though Of
men in the Sixth company receives my
consideration. and if the furloughs are
not granted tits on account of the d1s'
approval of higher authorities
Please publish this with my REGARDS
to all at home.
Very truly yours.
