BUTTON Marks
EXEMPTED MAN

Here is a picture OF the design for
the button to be given every man call.
ed up by the draft and exempted for
physical disability, family reasons, or
the need of his service in industry.
One million have been ordered as
starter, each costing the govern
ment cents.
Most army officers are not keen
for the button idea. They say most
of the men exempted will be freed
for physical disability, and they DO
not imagine young men would be
anxious to advertise this. In the next
place, millions subject to draft will
not be called up for year or more.
In. the meantime, they would not be
in the service and they would not
be entitled to button.
The face of the utton is of bronze.

NO PEACE IN SIGHT.
London, Aug. 4.-David Lloyd
George, British premier, in tho
presence Of a distinguished gath
ering Of representatives Of all par
ties, which met this afternoon in
Queens hall to mark the third
anniversary Of the declaration of
war, reiterated the aims for which
the entente allies were fighting,
and indicated the only condition
under which they would consent
to suspension Of hostiIities with
the central powers. The British
prime minister said he did not
trust the German peace talk.
"Neither the kaiser nor the
chancellor" he declared, "has yet
said he would be satisfied with
German soil. They talk about
peace, but stammer over the word
restoration Before we have a
peace conference, they must learn :
to use the word restoration So
far they have not learned even
the first letter Of the alphabet" ~.
. The premier, on opening his ad-&.
dress, asked what would happen II
Great Britain had not entered tho )"
war. He answered this question q,
by saying:
"Europe would have been at the
mercy Of the cruel military power
Russia would have disntearated
sooner. France would have fought
bravely, but might have been over
whelmed. Americas Monroe doc,
trine would have been treated az
a scrap of paper. The fact today
is that we have checked the ambi-
tions of Germany"

MARKET SURVEY WORK.

The market survey of the San Juan
district, now being made by the bu.
rcau Of markets of the federal gov
ernment, is being heartily assisted by
every community that has been visit
ed by Mr.. Wallace vs. Smith, the
market director. Mr. Smith has Just
returned from San Juan county, N.
NJ where cards for gathering the re-
luired data were issued to commit
tees at Aztec and Pennington. This
movement will show the acreage and
livestock of the San Juan section, as a
total, and its value will consist of
q knowledge of our business condi-
tions from food production stand.
point. We will have definite and
authentic report made by the federal
government when Mr.. Smith conclud-
es his work, and if the distribution of
food supplies is taken in hand by the
government, the matter of southern
outlet for US will be pushed. New
Mexico and Arizona are interested,
thru their war councils and governors
IN the construction of our southern
road, and are now making a food sur
yey to determine their own produc-
tion. Another object to be gained by
the information market survey will
show, is the attracting of buyers for
farm products. Regardless of ali else
the data now being gathered by the
federal government, assisted by the
Durango Exchange, will be worth ev-
cry cent it costs--an inventory of our
agricultural and livestock resources.

DO NOT SPRINKLE porAroEs.

This year more potatoes have been
planted on small lots in the cities
and towns in this state than ever be-
fore, and word of advice to these
growers may be of material heIp to
them.
Whenever possible, potatoes should
not be irrigated by the sprinkling
method, that is, water should not be
applied to the foliage, but in burrows
between the rows. This permits the
water to reach the root system with
out coming in direct contact with it.
1t is always better TO apply the water
IN the evening, as it will keep the
soil cooler, and also prevent excessive
baking of the soil.
Potatoes require a loose or open
soil, and for this reason, the potato
patch should be cultivated frequently.
so as to prevent the surface soil from
crusting OF baking. Always cultivate
as soon as possible after each irriga-
ton, especially during the first two
months. When the vines cover the
lows, cultivation should cease. BY
frequent and thoro cultivation, less
frequent irrigation is needed. Too
much water interferes with the for
nation of the tubers.
One reason why SO many growers
obtain only vines, is because of the
practice of sprinkling the potatoes,
instead of applying the water direct
to the soil in the burrows between the
rows. E. p. Sandsten, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins.
