Westminster.-State's Attorney Sea-
brook has appealed to the citizens to
help procure information against a
number of slackers in Carroll county,
who misrepresented their cases before
the classification board. Some have
said that they are supporting wives or
children, or dependent parents, when
they are not doing so. Some have
claimed that they are engaged in es-
sential industrial or agricultural enter
prises, when they are not. Some were
engaged in such enterprises at thu
time when they were given deferred
classification and have since changed
their occupation.

Draft Boards Hard Hit.

Like everything else in the city the
progress of the draft has been seri-
ously hindered by the prevailing I'M
fiuenza epidemic. 1t has been report1
ed to the district board that more
than "a clerks and members of the
local boards throughout the city have
been stricken with the malady.
The disease has struck these men,
bers at an inOppOrtune time. They
are now in the midst of classifying
registrants and getting ready for the
large calls which are expected within
short time. The work has scarcely,
begun and as each day brings the
report that another board member or
clerk is down with the "fu," the mat
ter of rushing the classifcations be-
comes increasingly difficult.
1t is not hard to trace the manner
in which the men contract the dis
ease. Daily they come in contact
with all classes of men. No official
steps have been taken by the draft
executives as yet to Offset it, but the
clerks of the district board on their
cwn initiative got busy and fumigated
their Offices thoroughly, and their
lead was followed by some of the
local boards. This was done as a
precautionary measure, as many sail
ors from countries where the malady
is supposed to have originated are
visitors to the Offices.
This information answers the queries
of numerous registrants who have so
far failed to receive their classification
cards. Many of the boards in their
anxiety to have the work finished with
in the To-day period set by Provost
Marshal General Crowder have called
upon registrants in their districts to
turn in and help them. In most cases
those asked to volunteer responded
with a good will and were assigned to
clerical work.
In many of the boards the work Of
examining registrants physically,
which was ordered by General Crow
der during the period that the 'fu"
ban was placed on the training camps.
also has been hindered. This is be-
cause so many of the examining ply
sicians have had to give their aid to
combating the malady in the city.
One of the most unfortunate things
growing out of the situation is that
the boards probably will not be able
to finish the classification until the
end of January instead of the middle
of December. as first expected. 1t is
believed that it the influenza situation

INCREASE NUMBER OF COWS
Dairy Herds Of All European Countries
Depleted to Appalling Degree
We Must Help.

By CARL vROOMAN. Assistant Sec
rotary Of Agriculture.)
The dairy herds of the old world
are depleted to an appalling degree.
There Is not country in Europe
where the people have enough dairy
products, and this process of depletion
is going on every day, and every week,
and every month, and will continue to
go on as long as this horrible war
lasts.
When the war is finished, we will
find the world with demand for dairy
products twofold, fourfold, tenfold
greater than the supply.
Europe will come to us with out
stretched hands. every country in Eu-
rope, and say to us: 1--WE must have
milk; give us canned milk give us dry
milk: give us butter; give US cheese
give us dairy cattle; give us animals
to build up our herds again."
And unless America has stimulated
the production of dairy products, has
increased her supply of dairy animals
far beyond anything in the past, she
will be utterly unable to supply this
demand.
We will supply as much of this as we
can. because they are going to be will
Ing to pay practically any reasonable
price for our live stock; and we will
supply SO much Of it that our own re-
sources will be exhausted.
Then this country will be without
sufficient dairy products.

Makes County Bone Dry.

Frederick-The Interpretation OF
the Prohibition law, which went into
effect last May. by Judge Glenn II.
Worthington, in the first case before
the Court. makes the act virtually a
"bone-dry" law. He ruled that it is
not only unlawful to sell intoxicants,
but it is violation to transport for
sale, dispense, dispose of or even given
away spirituous or fermented liquors.
Delivering liquor from a wet COM
munity to dry territory, whether pay
ment is made in advance or after de-
livery, he said, constituted q sale"
and is unlawful. The Interpretation
is regarded as a sweeping verdict in
favor of prohibition and in passing
upon it he said the law admits Of no
room for violators to wriggle out of
their guilt.

Maryland Leads In Hams,

College Park.-Maryland hams are
the best in the world, was the infer
ence given by the judges of the Ma
tlonal Ham and Bacon Show just
closed at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The
show was held in connection with the
National Swine Show and Exposition,
which is the premier event in "hog
circles" for the United States and
ranked before the war with the best
OF Canada and Europe.
In the face of competition and en-
tries from every pork-producing State
Maryland captured 10 of the Is prizes
offered for hams. In the bacon class
the State stood tenth.
J. Lawrence Clark, of Ellicott City,
took first premium on hams, winning
$500 cash. The second prize was
awarded to representative of
Georgia, the third to Missouri, while
the fourth, fifth and sixth came to
Maryland. The North Carolina Elk
pertinent Station could do no better
than seventh place with its entry.
The Maryland winners were: Frank
Downey, Sandy Springs, fourth; R.
Bentley Thomas, Ashton, fifth; Theo-
dore McMann, Sparks, sixth; A. Claude
Turner, Sellers, eighth; Fred Sasscer,
Upper Marlboro, ninth; Mrs. John Par
ran, Lusbys, tenth; Mrs. Margaret
Skinner, Westwood, twelfth; Benja-
min Parran, St. Leonards, thirteenth;
J. w. White, fifteenth In the bacon
class, J. H. Drury, of CLANCY, took
tenth premium.
Had Maryland farmers had more
time in which to prepare home-cured
meat for the show, the State would
have left little to be distributed among
other States when it came to prizes,
according to DR.. S. S. Buckley, of the
State College Extension Service, who
had personal charge of Maryland's ex-
hibits. Plans already are on foot to
make Maryland's showing next year
much larger, while the present years
success will be great stimulus to
every farmer in the State to do more

ucts, and a comparatively small per-
centage of the income from the sale
of crops, because for the most part the
crops are sold to better advantage by
feeding them to live stock. The types
of farming and the general conditions
which prevail in this section make the
size of farm a very important factor
bearing on the income, according to
the bulletin. There is also direct re-
lation between the amount of capital
invested and the labor income of the
operator. Generally speaking, the
larger the farm and the greater the in.
vestment, the greater the percentage
or rate of income.
The cropping system and the proper
distribution of crop area, it was
learned, were important factors in
profitable farm management. On the
more profitable farms studied in this
territory, from 30 to so per cent of the
total crop area was in corn, an average
of 10 per cent in oats, an average OF
80 per cent in wheat, from 1 to 10 per
cent in barley, and from 20 to 80 pei
cent in hay.
AS result of the study it was found
that the following rotation is well
adapted to conditions in this area:
First year, corn; second year, corn
third year, oats and barley; fourth
year, wheat, and the fifth year, hay.
Alfalfa is q valuable addition to the
average cropping system and the bull.
