LITTLE FUEL WAS SAVED.
Shut Down of Brattleboro Factories Re-
suited in Use of About Usual Amount
of Wood and Coal

Inquiry at the manufacturing cstab
lishments in Brattleboro, which started
up Wednesday after the shutdown
ordered by the national fuel admins
traitor shows that probably no saving
was effected, either in wood or coal
While n certain amount was saved in
some places more than the usual amount
was used in others.
At the White River Chair company g
factory, for instance, it is figured that
about : tons more coal was burned
during the time that the factory was
closed than would have been burned
had the factory continued in operation.
At this plant enough waste wood is
produced during the day to furnish
heat for the day and half the night,
but when the factory is closed coal has
to be burned all the time to keep the
pipes from freezing.
At the S. A. Smith Manufacturing
company s Plant, which was shut down
one day, 10 cords of commercial wood
were burned whereas if the shop had
been kept open only about two cords
would have been used
The Estey Organ company estimates
that possibly n few tons of coal were
saved there. The dry kiln had to be
kept at the usual temperature and all
the factories had to be warm enough to
prevent freezing.
From the viewpoint of holiday
Monday had the usual holiday totally
eclipscd in Brattleboro. Whatever OF
doubt may have been entertained by
anybody as to who was exempt and who
was not, all hands decided that the bet
ter way would be to close shop Mon.
day, and as n result all places except
those specifically named as being per.
mitted to remain open were not doing
business Monday but observed the day
as the first of 10 heatless Mondays. In
fact some of those entitled to remain
open were closed, the proprietors tigur
ing that their sales were so restricted
that nothing would be gained by heat
ing their places of business.
Not only were stores and Offices in
general closed, but the remaining bust
ness factories and manufacturing plant.

APPLYING DRAFT TO MEN 81
Congress Expected to Enact Necessary
Legislation at Early Date--Crowder
Earnest Advocate Of Plan.

Congress probably will make provi-
sion for the registration of all men
who havo become 2ifyears old since
June 8, 1917, thc date on which approx
imatcly 10 million registered under the
selective service act. Probably the
amendment will require all men, while
the war is OH. to register as soon as
they reach their majority. This is
provision which was omitted from the
original act through oversight. The only
real objection to the amendment which
has been voiced thus far is that it is
likely 10 interfere with the education
of college students This opposition is
so limited, however, that the negative
vote will be small. At least, this is the
present indication. No date has been
set for the consideration of the amend.
ment. But when the debnte is reached
and this probably will be before
spring-the amendment will be adopted.
Ono of the most earnest advocates of
adoption of the amendment is the Pro
vost Marshal General, Enoch II. Crow
der, who, with the approval of Secretary
Of War Baker, has asked congress to
make this change in the present act.
Members of congress generally believe
the change should be made, saying they
can see no reason why man should be
exempted from military service simply
because he lacked a few months of his
majority when the general registration
took place eight months ago. Almost MS
important is their argument that the
men between 81 and % years of age are
more available for military service than
men % years of age or older. The
latter class have become settled in in
dustry or business and have established
family ties which are hard to break.

from one-half to one inch below the
surface, and since In most cases they
resemble the soil closely in color the
cause of the injury often is not ap-
parent. However, If the soil surround
ing the cutoff plant be examined care
fully, the culprit probably will be
found curled up beneath the surface.
Parents Of cutworms.
The parents Of cutworms are gray
ish or brownish moths, or ''millers,"
which commonly occur at lights during
summer evenings. Each moth may lay
from 200 to 500 eggs, either In masses
or singly, In fields covered with dense
vegetation, and hence the eggs gre to
be found more often than elsewhere in
cultivated fields which have been in
grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The eggs hatch in the fall, few weeks
after they are laid, usually during
September, and the young cutworlns,
after feeding on grass and other vege-
tation until cold weather, pass the
winter as partly grown caterpillars. If
an infested field is left to grass, no no
ticeable injury is likely to occur; but
when it is broken up and planted to
corn or other wide-row crops, the
worms, suddenly being placed on
"short ratiOns,' play havoc with the
newly planted crops, the nearly full
grown worms feeding greedily and
consuming az enormous amount o.
food. In northern ATTITUDES they attain
full growth and stop feeding in late
June or early July, and then change to
the pupal or resting stage.

ERADICATION OF
CUTWORM MOTHS
Late Fall and Winter Flowing of
Grass Lands viii Destroy
~ Their Winter Homes.
HOGS DEVOUR MANY INSECTS
Injury Usually Consists in Cutting OF
Plants Just Below Surface and
Occurs In Spring ~ Eggs Are
Matched During Autumn.

tFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
If land that has been In grass for a
considerable time and is likely to con-
tain cutworms Is to be planted to corn
the following spring, 1t should be
plOwed in midsummer or early fall,
about the time the moths eggs are
laid or, better, before the eggs are
laid, for then vegetation which is suit
able for the moths to lay their eggs
upon is removed. The earlier the pre-
ceding year grasslands to be planted
to corn are plowed, the less will be
the probability that the cutworm
moths will have laid their eggs there
on, and the less, consequently, will be
the danger Of injury by cutworms the
following year.
Late fall and winter blowing of
grasslands, although not as effective
as early blowing, will destroy many of
the alternating cutworms, as well as
such other important corn pests as
white grubs, and should be practiced
when earlier blowing is impracticable.
insects Are Devoured.
Pasturing hogs upon land supposed
to harbor cutworms is a beneficial
practice, as these animals root up and
devour insects Of many kinds, includ-
ing cutworms, in large numbers. Farm.
poultry, allowed to follow the pillow,
is Of great value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use Of the
poisoned bait is, recommended. In
fields known to be infested, the dis
tribution Of this bait should be begun
as soon as the corn appears above the
ground. so that the cutworms may be
eliminated as quickly as possible and
the injured hills replanted promptly.
During the warmer spring months cut
worms do most of their feeding at
night and burrow into the soil to the
depth of an inch or two during the
day, so that the bait usually will be
more effective if applied during the
late afternoon and early evening
hours.
Frequently cutworms migrate to cul-
tivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running a narrow
band Of the poisoned bait around the
edge Of the field or along the side
nearest the source of infestation.
Cutworm injury, which usually con-
sists in the cutting off of the plants
at or little below the surface of the
ground, almost invariably occurs in
the spring, beginning as soon as the
first plants sprout and continuing un-
til late June or early July, by which
time the worms are full grown. The
worms feed at night and rest during

twisted or bury fiber, and those with
large center stem are of poor quail
ity and should be separated from the
good brush. Grading can be done con-
veniently either when the brush is
being taken from the field, after 1t
is thrashed, or just before the baling
Is done.
The practice of baling the crop with
out grading is common source Of loss
to the grower. Where good and poor
brush are mixed, the buyer will esti-
mate the percentage Of poor brush a
little higher than appearances indicate,
in order to be on the safe side. The
price paid under such circumstances
usually is less than the total price the
good brush and poor brush would have
brought If baled separately. In most
cases the grower will be well repaid
for the time and labor devoted to grad
ing his brush and baling each grade
separately.
The brush should be taken up in
small armfuls and butted against a
board, so that all the butts are even.
It should then be placed in the baler,
with the butts set firmly against the
end of the baler. The butts of one
armful are placed against one end and
those of the next armful against the
other end, continuing the process un-
til the baler is full. The bale is then
pressed into shape and the wires fas-
tened. If the bale is pressed tightly
and the wires properly adjusted, a
good square bale will result.
Baling should not be done until the
brush is dry enough to eliminate all
danger Of its molding in the bale. If
ballng is delayed indefinitely after the
brush is dry, 1t should be bulked and
protected from the light or it will
bleach.
The bales should be stored in a dry,
dark place for protection from the
weather and sunlight; otherwise the
outside will be weather stained or
bleached by the sun, and they will not
bring as high a price as If kept in good
condition.
The brush can be marketed to best
advantage in carload lots, because Of
the difference between freight rates in
full cars and smaller lots. The brush
runs about 6 bales to the ton and
from 10 to ~ tons to the carload. Com
munity cooperation Is needed to obtain
the greatest success in growing broom
corn. This will make possible mar
keting the crop in carload lots, with
consequent saving in freight. The
manufacturers are most likely to send
an experienced buyer into such COM
munity. and 1t is possible for a commu-
nifty to grow uniform grade of brush
which will be recognized and sought
at premium by the manufacturer.
