and run through a large shredder and
husker, the beans taken out and the
stems and leaves shredded up to be used
as feed during the winter. On the
small farm the corn would probably
have to be huslzed by hand and the
stems and beans run through a cutting
box A part of the bean seed could
be saved in this way if desired.
In your section we advise that you
use the earliest maturing variety of vel
vet bean It is possible to secure. Pre-
sumably this would be the 90-day. Much
of the bean seed on the market, how
ever, does not seem to be very true to
name. One should, therefore, buy from
concern which is willing to undertake
to guarantee the character of the seed
they are Offering for sale.

1t is desirable to have planting seed
delinted whenever this can be accom-
plished without excessive cost to the
planter. There is no doubt but that the
naked seed viii come up sooner than
seed on which the lint is left. This is
probably due to the fact that the seed
which retain the lint rather hold the
soil away from them, hence termination
is naturally delayed. Our experience
and observations all endorse the conclu-
sion that delinted OF naked seed come
up quicker than the kind of seed orViina-
rily planted.
/ am sure that the use Of delinted
seed is a matter Of considerable import
ance in all sections where the boil wee
vii has established itself. L do not
think. of course, that farmers should be
expected to pay an excessive price for
seed of this character, as 1 imagine
most of the oil mills could delint the seed
for their patrons at a relatively small
cost. 1 make this statement advisedly
because from what 1 can gather some
concerns other than oil mills are .delint-
ing seed and asking fancy prices for
them. whereas their value for planting
purposes has not been sufficiently i'm
proved to Justify the farmer in paying
a big price for having this work done.

WORKING TOKEEP
LABOR ON FARMS
Provost General of Army Try
ing to Solve Problem Due
to Draft Law.
SERIOUS SITUATION

One of the most serious problems aris-
ing under selective draft act in the up
building of the new National Army is the
exemption of farm labor The provost
geRral of the Army is now working out
a solution of it, and officers in his bureau
are drawing up set of regulations. soon
to be promulgated. expected to embrace
all details of a practical solution.
1t is not believed that recourse to Con-
gress will be necessary for an amendment
to the law. AS the plans unfold they APP
pear to need only executive approval to
be effective in all respects.
President Wilson's attention was called
to the situation presented by the neceS-
sity of farm labor exemption late in Sep
when the officers of the federal
board of farm organizations called and
laid the case before him. The President
took it up with Gen. Crowder
and prompt action has followed.

Argument Favoring Law.

The essential essence of argument in
favor of the selective draft law used
most frequently in its support and be-
lieved to be largely responsible for its
passage was that it would put the right
man in the right place to aid in winning
the war. 1t gave the military authori-
ties. acting under the commander-i i'm
chief, the President. absolute control over
the disposition of the seven million
drafted men.
Ii was early apparent to the admins
tration that the farmers of the country
would he one of the main foundations of
the entire structure of campaign of ag
greSSion as we'll as home defense in the
way of supporting this nation.
Immediately also it developed that with
the enforcement of the draft without
discrimination there would follow an I'M
precedented shortage of farm labor. The
danger arose that the farmers might fall
short of their part of the general task of
winning the war through mere lack of
men to handle the crops.
