FOR TULSA DISTRICT
Two From Tulsa Out of Five
Members: Will Be the Court
of Last Resort.

The draft exemption board for the
district comprising northeastern Okla

the board of five members and this
city will be headquarters for the dis
trict The board will sit here and con-
slider all appeals from local boards
thruout the district.
State Representative Harry II.
Rogers is one Tulsan on the board.
He is connected with the Mc-Man OIL

known for his church work. The 9TH
er member is DIR. Fred $. Clinton for
whom the eight-story Clinton build

ton both stated last night over the
phone that they realized the sgnifi-
canoe of the appointments but consid-
cred it their duty to serve.
Edgar r. Fenton. president of the
State Federation of Labor, is one of
the members. He probably will have
to move his office to Tulsa when the
board begins its sessions.
The other two members are Robert
Cedaley and c. II. Kretz. Last night
their identity could not be learned. 1t
is no thot they live in Tulsa.
This district board will have no
function until all the local boards in
their territory have begun to certify
to them the men found fitted for mill
tary duty and not burdened with de-
pendents The district boards are
courts of appeal either for the indi-
viduai or for the government against
the findings of the local board.
The whole question Of industrial
exemptions, however. has been turned
over directly to these district boards,
which have original jurisdiction in all
cases of this kind. They will be sole
judges of any registered mans field
of greatest service to the nation.
whether it he in the army or in the
munition factory, oil field. business
house or other civilian occupation in
which he Is engaged. Each case will
be weighed on It's merits and the
value OF the individual, for there will
be no blanket exemption to cover
other than divinity students, govern
ment officials and the other classes
specifically named in the law. Even
they must file affidavits showing their
status. to be Supported In such man
ner as the board may determine.

Mayor John II. Simmons. chairman
of the local exemption board, stated
last night that the written notifica-

men about next Wednesday. Each no.

Beans are Needed

The crop production subcommittee
of the state committee of food pro
duction and conservation recon-
mends among other things, the
growing of beans in order to ward OH
the dangers arising from the present
food shortage in the United States,
and to help win the war.
The average yield of beans for
Minnesota is about Is bushels. With
the present high prices, this means
that beans should be very profit
able crop this year. Here are few
things to remember in raising beans:
Light soils, sandy loans and loans
are better for beans than heavy soils
Small navy beans command the
highest market prices and fewer OF
them are needed for seeding.
Planting should be delayed until
danger from frost is past, but not
too long, as the beans must have
time to mature before frOsts in the
fall. In northern bean-grOwing sec
tions, beans may be planted between
May 20 and June 10.
Beans should be planted about an
inch and a half or two inches deep in
rows "a inches apart, with the plants
about four inches apart in the rows
They should be cultivated only often
enough to keep the soil mellow and
free from weeds.

Sweet Corn Good for Drying

Dried sweet corn is one of the
most nutritious foods. Sweet corn is
more easily dried than almost any
other garden vegetable. For these
reasons, very large amounts of sweet
corn should be dried this summer for
use next winter Sweet corn may be
planted as early as May and as
late as June 20 to produce a crop of
roasting ears" before fall frosts,
and successive paintings to secure a
long seasons crop should be made.
It can be planted on small tracts or
in large fields and is one of the most
easily cultivated garden crops.
For table use, small lots of quick
maturing varieties like the Early
Golden Bantam should be planted !;
but for drying for winter use, the
larger and heavier yielding sorts, as
Country Gentleman and StOWell s
Evergreen, should be used.
Let everyone who has garden OF
field available plant plenty of sweet
corn to give a summer supply and a
large excess to be dried for winter
use. Full directions for drying eth
er large or small lots will be pub,
lished later in the summer, at the
proper timer. w. Thatcher, as

National Crop Improvement SerVIce.1
It is one Of our American traits to
speed up to high tension for few
days and then to relapse into our old
"easy-going" habits. If we can only
learn by experience that we must or
ganize against emergencies of all
kinds for peace and war, this excite
ment will not have been in vain. 1t
will do little good to shout at the far
mer through a megaphOne. He knows
his business and is doing just as good
as he can under the circumstances. II
there is any Improvement to be made,
1t is to improve circumstances. Our
prosperity depends upon the prosper
fly of the farmers and it Is our duty to
get him the best price possible consis-
tent with quality. If we want the far
mer to do better we must do better
by him. However, he can find no COM
plant about the present prices nor for
several years to come. We may be
too late to do very much more this
spring, although we still have barley,
corn and potatoes to put into the
ground. We should organize for serv.

WARNING GIVEN ABOUT
SOME ALFALFA SEEDS
Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed
Not Adapted to General Use in
United States

washington, D. c., May 1.-Cohl-
mercial Turkestan alfalfa seeu'
which formerly came to this couh-
+rv through Europe, is now being
imported into the United states NY
the way of Vladivostok and the IA
cific Ocean. Since July l, 1910, TWO
and one-half millions POUNDS nave
heen imported, or enough TO Seeo
1913 900 acres. Under most cohul-
ti0ns it is decidedly inferior 10 ALL
erican-grown strains OQd no farmer
should SOW it thinking he is using
American-grown seed. The follow
ing statements show how CONNER
cial Turkestan alfalfa is regarded by
experts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Generally speaking, Commercial
Turkestan alfalfa has proved 10 De
inferior to the American-grOWn
strains in nearly every case where
comparative tests have been conduct
ed. In the eastern half of the United
States, where alfalfa seed is not pro-
duced in commercial quantities, i'm
ported seed was used almost eHclu-
sively until within the past lew
wears. Of the several million pounds
of alfalfa seed that have been i'm
ported annually, approximately So
per cent came from Turkestan. me
fact is responsible for many of the
failures that occurred with altaIta
in the eastern states. In brief, the
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa yields
less than the American-grOWn strains
is shorter lived, and is less hardy
than the Grimm, Baltic, and Can
adam Variegated. 1t is therefore
not a desirable variety"
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed
can be readily distinguished from
that of other strains by the the pres
ence of seeds of Russian knapweed.
The latter are slightly larger than
alfalfa seeds and cannot be entirely
removed by any known method OF
recleaning. Their chalky-whtte col
or makes them especially cOnsplcu-
GUS, and their symmetrical form, be-
ing slightly wedge shaped, serves to
distinguish them from the notched
seed of other similar weeds, which
often occur in Italian and other al
falfa seed. AS the seeds of Russian
knapweed are not usually abundant,
a small trade sample should never
be used to determine whether the
seed is Commercial Turkesan alfalfa.
It may often happen that a number
of small samples, such as are usually
supplied by the trade, contain one
of these seeds, while an examination
of the bulk will show them to be
present. If any seeds of Russian
knapweed occur, the alfalfa seed is
wholly or in part from Turkestan.
The seed laboratory of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
will examine half-pound samples to
determine their possible Russian
Turkestan origin, or small samples
of imported seed containing the char
acteristic seeds Of Russian knapweed
will be sent on request.
Further information concerning
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa will be
found in U. S. Department of Agri-
culture Bulletin No. 1873, Commercial
Turkesan Alfalfa Seed, and in
Farmers Bulletin No. 757, CONNER
cial Varieties of Alfalfa"
