Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 29.-Thres
tons of cover sheets for question
naires alone now are in the mails
for the general registration of Sc
lects between the ages of 1s and 45
in North Dakota. The question:
naires themselves will probably re-
present an aggregate weight of nine
tons, and several tons of other sup
plies are to be sent or are now en-
route.
These heavyweight statistics give
some idea of the work which con-
fronts the adjutant generals Office
in the apportionment and distribu-
tion of supplies incident to the pros
pective general registration propos-
ed for Sept. s. The board will han
die 100000 registration cards; ,1OO.-
900 registration certificates; 100000
questionnaires, and 100000 physical
examination blanks. Probably half
of the Questionnaires now have been
received, and the mail bags In which
they came line one side of the ad-
jutant generals ante room from the
floor to the ceiling.

PLANS HELP
FOR FARMERS
Meeting of Federal Author
tiles and Co. Agents to
Provide Farm Loans.

County Agent G. c. Edwards at
tended meeting of the county
agents in this part of the state held
at Minot on Tuesday evening of last
week, when a representative of the
federal loan board at washington.
DR.. T. A. Hoverstad representing
the extension department of tho
North Dakota Agricultural College.
and others were present. The
meeting was held for the purpose of
getting lineup on the supplying or
funds to farmers who are otherwise
unable to procure such financial help
as will enable them to seed their
crops for next year. This assist
ance will come from the five million
dollar fund which the president has
at his disposal to help the farmers of
the country so that the food supplies
will not be limited next year by
reduced acreage. The need of help
in seeding winter rye Is the reason
why the matter Is being pushed at
this time.
The work now is rather prelim-
mary survey of the field so that the
actual needs of the various locali-
ties may be determined. The loans
will be made through the federal
loan banks and in counties In which
there are no federal farm bureaus
the application must be endorsed by
the county agent, the chairman of
the board Of county commissioners
and by banker selected by the ap-
plicant.
County Agent G. C. Edwards of
Burke county now has a number of
application blanks on hand, and
needy farmers who desire a part Of
the fund allotted to North Dakota,
should see him at once and file their
applications for money to be receiv-
ed later.
The following statement made by
Dr.. Hoverstad at the meeting covers
the subject thoroughly in detail:
Many farmers in certain sections

TURN RABBIT PESTS
INTO PROFITS


Fully 20O,OO0,0OO wild rabbits
are killed in the United States every
year according to estimates made by
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Many Of the mare jack rabbits, the
majority Of which have not been
utilized in the past. If all the rab-
bits killed were consumed, they
would represent between 100000
and 100000 tons OF valuable food,
and If proper measures were taken
to insure the collection of skins,
these alone would have a value OF
S2O,O00,OOO. The Biological Sur
vey has frequently been called upon
to help western farmers in coping
with the rabbit pest. In view OF
the probable economic value of rab.
bit meat and fur in the coming few
years, the energies of the farmers
and Sranchmen will be directed to the
conservation Of this important re-
source. Already a number Of es-
adjustments for collecting, dressing
canning and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers.
AS In Australia the transition of the
wild rabbit in this country from its
status as pest source Of profit 1t
assured, 1t Is believed.

SUGAR USERS NOW
ON THE SAME BASIS
All Users Of Sugar In North
Dakota Are Put On
Limited Basis.

Owing to the extreme shortage of
sugar, it has been found necessary
to place all sugar users in North Da-
kota OH the same basis, and upon
instructions from Washington, a
new regulation has just been issued
by the federal food administration
for the state, cutting down the
amount that may be sold to farmers
during the threshing season, from
three pounds per person per month
to two pounds per person per mOnIn.
Heretofore famers have been al
lowed to buy sugar for the threshing
season on the basis of three pounds
per person per month.
Our sugar supply is very much
under our sugar requirements" said
Federal Food Administrator Ladd
today. There is-not enough sugar
for canning purposes, and it is fear
ed that a large amount of fruit may
go to waste in this state unless su-
gar is available Immediately for
that purpose. This would involve
the loss of large amount of food
p: oducts and it has been found ne
cessary to reduce>the use of sugar
for household purposes to the lowest
possible minimum"
Must Garry Own Sugar
The sugar division of the federal
food administration for the state
has issued the following official rul-
ings: 81
When households entertain visit
ors or have extra help, additional
sugar may be obtained, II available,
fl ON the sealer, basing the purchase
on the number of extra. meals serv-
ed at the rate Of two pounds for 80
meals. '1.S
For dinners and suppers ror char
stable work, each guest must bring
his or her own supply of sugar.

PROVIDE GRIT FOR POULTRY

Grit is essential to the health of
fowls and to economy in feeding.
Grit takes the place of teeth in pre-
pairing the feed for further digestion,
and is required for the proper pre-
paration Of feed in the gizzard
When the feed is not properly taken
care of in this organ, an undue
strain Is thrown on the fowls sys-
TEN, often resulting in disease, and
also allowing much of the nutriment
to pass through the birds body
without being absorbed. In every
pen or yard box of grit should be
kept. Investigators have asserted
that grit is part of the necessary
feed, giving the fowls strong bones
and bright plumage.

BANKERS MET TUESDAY

About thirty five banks in this
district were represented at the
Group Meeting held in Hope
Tuesday. Many who intended

the address of welcome, which
was responded to by Mr.. Frank
r. Scott, of Fargo. Judge N. G.
