HELP FURNISHED TO FARMERS

During the past week some twenty
men have been secured to 60 out into the
fields. President Stolz of the Commercial
Club recently appointed Andrew Saffert,
Otto Oswald and Adolph Schulke as a
committee to secure list of at least
twenty-five men who were willing to
assist on the farms in this vicinity. This
was done and practically all have been
placed There still remain few who
would be willing to help on the farm if
necessity demands, but it seems as If
farmers around here are not having a
great deal of difficulty in getting help
during the harvest. Farmers who were
interviewed by the Review Monday said
that they had sufficient help now but
might need some more assistance in
stacking.

CROP CONDITIONS
FOUND FAVORABLE
BLACK RUST APPEARS BUT
VERY LITTLE DAMAGE
is DONE
NO RESTRICTIONS PLACED BY
GOVERNMENT AS TO TIME
FOR THRESHINC

Farmers in Brown and Nicollet Coun-
ties express satisfaction with the grain
crop in these two counties. The har-
vesting is we'll under way and most of
the farmers will be finished with cutting
by the end of the week, in fact, today
will finish the greater part of it.
Rains of the past week have done very
little damage to the crops in this section
of the state altho some sections report
some damage from hail. Hanska re-
ports little damage done to the grain
around there from hail but in general
the crops bid fair to equal last years
production.
Black Rust Appears
A few days ago many noticed the ap-
pearance of black rust but report that the
wheat was too far grown for it to do much
damage. The wheat straw shows the
effects of the rust but the kernel was
practically, mature before the rust ap-
peared and so the damage is slight
Smut also appeared to some extent but
the rain Of last week washed consid-
cradle Of this off the grain Wheat is
expected to equal last years average of
20 bushels to an acre and oats, altho
somewhat light in places due to the
June frost will nearly equal last years
yield. Barley also is about the same.
Rye Below Former Average
Rye may turn out to be little below
the average for last year if present
reports run the same thruout the county,
On twenty-acre plot in Milford the
average yield in rye was found to be 10
bushels. This was the amount obtained
by Anton Schmidt who recently threshed
his rye. This is about five bushels below
the yield Of last year when it averaged
between twenty-four and twenty-five
bushels. This is the only threshing re-
port received so far as the threshing will
not actually begin until next week.
There were rumors current that the
Food Administration or some other de-
partment of the Government had sent
out orders that no threshing would be
done before the fifteenth of August.
County Agent Webb, when questioned
by the Review on this point, stated that
there was no foundation for the rumor
and that the only requirement ordered
by the Department was that farmers
should see to it that they do not thresh
until the grain has had time to come to
the best possible stage, which would
mean to allow it to ripen in the shock
for short time. No doubt the sound
Of the thresher's whistle will be the most
common sound within week or ten days.
1t has been wonderfully fine season so
far in this section of the country and
there is no reason to fear that crops will
not satisfy every one and Minnesota
yields will do much to help bring about
the longed-for Peace.

LOCAL MILLS RUNNING

The local milling companies expect
to run their plants from now on until
the new grain begins to move, by grinding
Kansas wheat. The New Ulm Roller
Mill plant is already at work and has
been for several days. The Eagle Mill
expects to start up this week. The flour
will be manufactured for eastern use and
the mills say that they have enough of
the hard wheat product on hand to supply
the local demand. No restrictions have
been placed on the mills concerning their
use OF the Kansas grain and it is likely
that the whels will turn pretty steadily
from now on.

ESTABLISH SCHOOL
FOR SELECTED MEN
NEW REGISTRANTS WILL BE
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO
ASSIST THEM
OBJECT is TO BRING ABOUT
BETTER FEELING AMONG
DRAFTEES

In pamphlet recently issued by the
office OF the Provost Marshall General
the local boards of the various counties
are requested to appoint local boards
OF instruction whose duty it shall be to
become personally acquainted with the
registrants and by systematic plan Of
instruction to put the selective service
men into camp, willing, loyal, intelligent
clean and sober and thus to fit them better
for rapid progress in becoming good
soldiers. -.f.
Experience has shown that successful
results have been obtained in several
cities and towns where systematic
plan of instruction for selectives prior
to their draft call has been inaugur-ated,
1t is suggested that at the time of the
medical examination the registrants be
assembled in small groups for personal
interview for the purpose Of clearing up
perplexities and making the drafted men
feel that those who are interesting them
selves in their behalf are friends.
During the preinduction period the
selective men will be called together once
or twice by selective service board
order, at which time they will be met in
groups for instruction in the matter of
the provision made by the government
for the protection and welfare of dis
abled soldiers and in the event of death
Of their families or dependents; the gov
eminent provision for allowances and
allotments to soldiers dependents; a
discussion of why America entered the
war, why America must win the war,
the necessary character of the Amer
lean soldier, sexual restraint and the
avoidance of liquor as patriotic obliga-
ton, and study of camp life. 49,.
Preliminary military drill will be con-
Quoted to familiarize the men with first
principles, Among the fundamental
principles are considered military di-
scipline, etiquette and ethics of the dis
tinctive branches of the service. Where
ever tried out the results have been very
favorable and the men have been placed
a month or so ahead in capacity to be-
come efficient military units. >
All the work to be done by this board
of instruction will be rendered without
compensation and will necessarily entail
a certain amount Of work on their part.
AS the local board of instruction the
following have been appointed: Albert
Pfaender, chairman, l.. G. Vogel, B.
Groebner, AID. Klause, and Alfred Publ
man. All Of these members have been
connected with the national guard for a
great number of years and have seen
active service during the Spanish Amer
lean war or in the Mexican trouble The
exact date when the class of 1918 will be
called together for the first instruction
has not been definitely decided upon
but it will be some evening this week.

Paris was not very excited, but deeply
interested puzzled. 1t was on a
Saturday morning in March.
French airplanes were flying over the
city, darling to the right and to the
left, going in bird circles, flying high
and flying low, acting as no other air
ivplanes had been seen to act in the wal
zone. They flew singly, in pairs, threes
and tours.
And the bombs continued to drop on
the city.
Some of the French people had taken
to the cellars and subways for safety,
as some always do when an air raid is
on. Others gathered on the street
corners or went about their business.

ministration concerning the sugar supply
for August bring the information that
the saving effected during July has been
sufficient so that additional sugar for
canning purposes can be provided during
theNgenth. However, the general house
hold ration must be cut to two pounds
per capita per month and the head of
the family must sign the order. Hotel
keepers will be allowed an amount of
sugar totaling two pounds for each ninety
meals served.
There was some little confusion at
first as to the amount to be allowed
householders for use during August.
An order received by food administrator
Stolz said that they would try to con-
tinue the allotment of three pounds pei
month per person and that eight pounds
per capita would be allowed for canning
This order was dated July "a.
Newspapers Receive Other Orders
An order received at the Review office
Monday stated that the ration would be
cut from three pounds to two pounds fol-
regular household purposes and that an
allowance Of ten pounds per capita fol
canning purposes would be made. Tn.
der this arrangements family of two will
be allowed to buy during the month
enough sugar to make their total for
canning and preserving this season &c
lbs, a family of three 80 lbs. family OF
four 40 pounds, family of five so lbs.
In the event that before the July res
strictions went into effect they secured
for canning more than 10 lbs. per capita
in a household, they will not be per
mitted to buy any additional sugar for
canning during August. =.
Mr.. Hicks of the New Ulm Grocery
Company communicated Saturday by
telephone with the State officials and the
amount Of pounds for household use
and 10 pounds for canning were given
his as correct. Mr.. Stolz received word
Tuesday morning that the order allow
ing two pounds for household use and
ten pounds for canning would be carried
out. {,
Less Suga ar Coming In
The amount of sugar to be shipped into
the state during August will be less than
the July allowance.
Meat Supply Conserved
With reference to the meat supply
and the accomplishments of the people
of the United States in meat saving and
production, Mr.. Hoover made this
statement on July II in letter to Pres
ident WILSON,: "Our slaughterable an
imals at the beginning Of the fiscal year
were appreciably larger than the year
before and particularly in hogs, they
were probably less. The increase in
shipment is due to conservation and the
extra weight of animals added by our
farmers. The full effect of these efforts
began to- bear their best results in the
last half of the fiscal year when the ex-
ports to the Allies we're 2,133, 100000
lbs. as against 1856, 100000 lbs. in the
same period of the year before. This
compares with an average of 801, 900, 900
lbs. of total exports for the same half
years in the three-year pro-war period. -

AUGUST CALL HITS
1918 REGlSTRANTS
ABOUT NINETY MEN TO LEAVE
i NEXT MONTH. TWENTY LEFT
IN CLASS ONE Vs.
MANY ENTRAIN DURING PAST
WEEK FOR SOUTHERN ARMY
CAMPS

Judging from present indications,
Brown County will be called upon to
furnish about ninety men before the
August draft quotas are completed.
The August order calls for 10000 men
from Minnesota and coupled with this
are orders for about $500 men who must
entrain under previous calls. As there
are but few men left in the first class
in this county, the August calls will
necessarily be filled by 1918 registrants.
Several Left This Week
Monday afternoon Leonard Schuma-
cher and Lawrence Dhooghe, both of
Springfield, left for Camp Forrest, Lyle,
Ga. These two men were called under
separate orders; one call being for a
bridge carpenter and the other for
a cabinet maker. Both men were listed
in the skilled class of registrants. The
boys went via Chicago, Cincinnati and
Chattanooga.
Walter w. Miller, one of the 1918 reg
istrants, left yesterday afternoon for
College Station, Texas, where he will
enter the Signal Corps School for Radio
and Electricians, A. &. M. College of
Texas. The call was for one man only
and Walter Immediately volunteered.
Eight To Jefferson Barracks
Under call No.. 9S2 Brown County is
called upon to furnish eight men, who are
to entrain between the fifth and the
tenth of August for Jefferson Barracks,
Mo. The following men have been
selected by the local draft board: Ed
ward E. Winsemann, Holstein, Ia.;
Robert F. Schnobrich, New UIm; Arthur
J. Janka, New Ulm, Charles L. Robert
son, Sleepy Eye; Anton Benson, Spring
field; Otto Grabner, Sleepy Eye; Alonzo
R. Bird, Springfield; Bernhard j. En-
gelen, Springfield.
With the above mentioned men called
there remain but twenty men in Class
1 Of the old registrants with which to
fill the August calls. According to the
present outlook Class men will be called
upon by December unless the draft
age is extended before that time.
Thirty-Three Entrained Thursday
Last Thursday thirty-three men en-
trained for Camp Wadsworth, S. G. for
training in the national army. The boys
reported at the Armory in the morning
and in the afternoon were escorted to the
depot by YOUNGSTERS Band. The
parade was headed by the city's execu-
tive, Wd. Eibner, and members of the
police force.
Others in the line of march were the
Junior Red Cross, who carried large
service flag.
Few Changes Made
Several changes were made in the list
of those who. departed. Some of those
who were to 60 were rejected and
others substituted in their places. Those
who left Thursday were:
