DISTRIBUTION OF MAN POWER

Viewing the matter in the light
Of sober reason which is most
necessary at this timc-we must all
see wherein Congress had weightJ
reasons for its action in voting to
raise an army by selective draft.
We can not think that our law
makers were inspired by any preju-
dice against the volunteer system,
nor that they intended any discredit
to the volunteer spirit of our
people. The impelling reason seems
to have been that the recruiting of
any army is only one Of the hinge
tasks before this country. There is
also the huge task of practically
feeding the world or at least our al
lies, which calls for much thought
and discrimination in the mastering
of our forces.
It is the intention of the govern
ment in recruiting the regiments
needed to interfere as little as pos
sible with the various branches of
industry, particularly that Of farm
ing. To this end the authorities
were convinced that the selection
of recruits should not be left to
voluntary action, but placed in COM
petent hands that should decide
who should FIGHT and who should
WORK.
With the calling of men to the
colors, the people should take this
sensible view of the situation, and
realize that if one young man is ex-
empted and another is not, there is
, some all powerful reason for the
discrimination. Those most urgent
~ needed in industrial life should
be the last to be summoned, for
when industry stops the army is
soon at standstill.
The time has come when every
man is expected to do his full duty
in whatever station he may be call
ed There is no room for slackers
and soreheads and grumblers.

CURSE OF 0NE-CR0P SYSTEM
Nothing but Cotton and Then
Buy Meat and Bread.

The eloquent Southerner, Henry w.
Grady. whose untimely death was a
loss to the nation, was a close student
of agricultural conditions in his be-
loved Southland and on one occasion
spoke as follows concerning the in
evitable results when a one-crop sys-
tenn of farming dominates in general
agricultural practice:
Nosone crop will make people pros
porous. If cotton holds the monopoly
under conditions that make other crops
impossible, or under allurements that
make other crops exceptional, It's domi-
nation will be despotism. Whenever
the greed for money crop unbalances
the wisdom of husbandry, the money
crop is q curse. When 1t stimulates
the general economy of the farm, it Is
the profit of farming.
To raise cotton and send its princely
revenue to the West for supplies, and
to the East for usury would be mis-
fortune If soil and climate forced such
a course. When both invite independ-
ence, to remain In slavery Is a crime.
To mortgage our farms in Boston for
money with which to buy meat and
bread from western cribs and smoke
houses is folly unspeakable.

STORAGE PLACE FOR MANURE
Where Not Applied to Field for Com.
ing Crop 1t Can Be Allowed to
Accumulate in Stall.

Stable manure should never be
thrown out on a field where it will not
soon be mixed with the soil nor should
1t be piled out in the open, for much
of the fertility will be lost by teaching.
IT the manure cannot be placed on a
field that is to be planted shortly, it is
best to allow it to accumulate in the
stall, being careful to keep the stall
dry and well Uttered.
Corn slower, wheat, oat or rye straw,
leaves or pine straw can be used for
litter. Besides absorbing the liquid
manure and saving it for the plants to
use, the litter adds fertilizing mate
rails of value. 1t is good plan to use
as much litter as possible for bedding
for by being mixed with the animal ana
nure it is more readily decayed. Much
waste material can be made into good
manure In this way.
The stalls should be fairly deep so
that they will hold all the manure
which accumulates between times Of
planting the various crops. The ami
mails win pack the manure by tramp
ing, and it keeps best when packed.
1t should be moist, but not wet, and
should be protected from sunshine
