10000 ELIGIBLE TO DRAFT
Every County In Kansas Will BE Ro-
qulrsd to Furnish lie ouota
to the Federal Army.

Topeka.-Every county In Kansas
must furnish its share OF soldiers In
the national army. The secretary OF
war will play no favorites In regard
TO localities. As soon as the regis
tration Is completed next Tuesday,
the President will appoint local county
exemption boards to determine which
young men shall go to war and which
shall stay at home.
In ninety.nine counties Of the state
the members II the present county
registration boards will be appointed
by the President as members OF the
exemption board. In Kansas City,
Kan, the present registration board
will be named as an exemption board
and two additional exemption boards
will be created for that City. One ad-
ditional board will be created for To
peka and Wichita. Montgomery and
Crawford counties will each have two
Exemption boards. Other counties in
the state will have but one board each.
While the regulations for exemption
have not yet been formally issued, in
formation has reached here from
Washington that each county will be
required TO furnish its quota OF troops
for the new army. The number will lie
based upon the population. Under the
call. Kansas will supply about 10000
troops for the inst army. exclusive OF
the national guard and the regular
army. The various counties will not
be given credit in the drafted army,
for the number OF men they have fur
nished the regular army or the ma
tiunal guard. However, Kansas will
BE- given credit for all the Kansans
who so into the army, no matter in
what branch uf the service.
The war department has also indi-
Gated that II wants both the regular
army and the national guard recruited
up 10 full war strength. so II is not
likely that any order will be issued
forbidding men to volunteer, even
;hou.h they have registered under the
draft
Much interest is manifested in re-
gard To exemptions. At this time 1t
is impossible to state what reasons for
exemption will be considered good.
The President has intimated that all
men with families dependent upon
them for support or men who can be
OF more service TO their country on
the farm or in the shops than in the
army, will be exempted.

EXPECTS GREAT CORN CROP
The States Biggest Acreage Has Been
Planted This Year, Says
Secretary Moehler.

Topeka.-Kansas has planted be-
tween 8 and 10 million acres Of corn
this year. according to reports to Sec
retary Mohler's office. This is from
. to 2la million acres more than ever
was planted before in Kansas. The
state usually plants about million
acres
Secretary Mohler points out that
Kansas has never failed to raise big
corn crop when its wheat crop was
cut short.
The state will produce between 40
and IS million bushels of wheat, Sec
retary Mohler believes. and 1t has
about twice the usual acreage Of oats.
From 2S to 30 per cent more is sown
to feterita and sorghum than ever be-
fore, with from five TO ten times more
acreage TO gardens.
In addition 10 the other promising
prospects. there is no farm labor prob
lem to speak Of this year. College and
school young men have volunteered,
and the boys and girls from the towns
have gone back home" to help with
the work to the extent that not more
than five thousand additional men will
be needed in harvest this year. And
these five thousand harvest hands are
in sight.
Kansas never has farmed so extern
sively before.

Of potatoes grown. although the acre
age this year is just half that for 1916.
The cold spring and the excessive
amount of rainfall recently have not
injured the crop. Local grocers as

caused most OF the home grown vege-
