Oklahoma To Furnish
280 Men For Infantry
Training Camp In California

The local exemption board ha.
been advised that Oklahoma now
has an opportunity to send $50 mer
to infantry training camp at Free
mont, Calf. in November ANY
man within registration age is ac-
ceptabie, it is stated. but there j,
practically no use for a boy under
q to apply, unless he is exceptions
ally we'll developed and, under ordi-
nary circumstances, a man over for
ty would not have much chance. At
least there would be no waiver fox
any physical disability. The APP
plicant must have high school ed
ucation. or its equipvalent. \ man
who has been engaged in large bus
mess affairs, or a lawyer or a news
paper man, may get by without the
high school education, on the theory
that he has acquired education in
his business. 1t is a case of those
who apply first being taken. Ap-
plication should be made to Maj NJ.

FARMING. PROGRAM
IS REAFF|R|MED
FARMERS WILL BE ASKED
NOT TO PLANT OVER HALF
ACREAGE TO COTTON

Oklahoma City, Oct. 23.-The
opinions of Oklahoma agricultural
experts do not coincide with the
views OF the federal government as
indicated in advance information
which indicates that quotas for
states and counties in the matter Of
food product will be asked by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The program set forth by the
Oklahoma State Council of Defense
last spring was reaifirmed for the
government of next years crops.
At a meeting of district agents OF
the department other federal and
state agricultural officers and edi-
tors OF farm journals held in Okla
homa City last Saturday, it was de-
clared to "be the sense of the meet
ing that climatic and economic con-
ditions in Oklahoma do not favor
the assignment by government agen-
cies of any specific agricultural oil
livestock quotas for Oklahoma.
1t was also resolved that the law
be revitalized requiring county as
SCISSORS TO take crop statistics each
year.
Without a dissenting voice the ag-
ricultural program initiated by the
state council OF defense last spring
was reaffrmed. The essential feat
ureS of this program follows:
Not more than one-half the cul-
tiNatcd land on any farm should be
planted to cotton.
Supplemental to this recommen-
dation and of equal Importance with
it, are the following recommends
tons
There should be garden on ev-
cry farm sufficient to supply home
needs, consisting chiefly Of products
which can be stored in their natural
state or canned for winter use.
There should be planted on cv-
cry farm not less than one acre oi
cane or sudan grass for each head
OF horses and cattle on the farm.
Corn should be planted only on
land where corn produced a crop
last year; other land being planted
to oats, barley, kafir, milo, or feter-
ita or grain for feed and peanuts
for food, feed and sale.
Every effort should be made to
increase poultry production and to
produce on every farm 4 sufficient
supply Of dairy products and Of pork
for home consumption"

Possible Effects of Peace.

Oil and Gas journal: Oil men are
naturally giving some thought 10 posi-
BILE effects of peace on their industry.
They realize that a sudden shutting on
of the great volume of oil and oil prod
ucts that has been going forward to fill
the needs of the belligerent nations is
likely to have important trade effects
The slump may not be long continued,
but il will be felt for a time.
When that period comes the wise oil
man will not become panicky. He will
understand that in the work of recon
struction in devastated countries oil
power viii play its part. The removal
of millions of men from France To
America will mean heavy consumption
of fuel oil. The great masses of ma
terial which have accumulated over
there will also have to be brought
back to the United States. In sending
the different armies and their equip
ment to home countries, military trans
portation devices will consume great
quantities of oil and oil products.
Al the same time. the people Of Eu.
rope and America who have been con
serving gasoline win not longer be re-
Quired to stint themselves as they have
been doing. The new civilian demands
for gasoline will be on = vast scale.
Fuel oil viii be needed in immense
quantities also.
Kerosene, in the hurly-burly of war
emergencies. has been neglected to a
large extent. There is almost q kero-
sene famine The refiners can devote
some attention TO that department Of
their activities.
Government regulation of the oil in
dutry may be prolonged 10 cover at least
a portion Of the readjustment period
There will be no occasion for this.
later and then the competitive spirit is
likely TO resume operations at the old
stands and state regulators will again
take up their work.
In view of the fact that the govern.
ment has eXerted most helpful atti-
tude toward the oil industry in provid.
ing means of obtaining equipment. some
Oil men are decidedly in favor Of a con.
tlnuance of that assistance. Whether
il is to be granted or refused is a mat
Ter OF conjecture.
These peace possibilities may be
slightly premature as matters of discus.
sion, but there are many convincing
reasons for the belief that the collapse
OF the German menace is not TO be long
delayed. An outraged civilization is
about 10 wreak delayed vengeance on
the German murderers ana brigands.
Better days are coming.

WASHINGTON, July i6-Actual draft
Ing OF the new revenue bill. scheduled
to start yesterday. was postponed until
"Wednesday, when the House Ways and
Means Committee viii meet Instead
the committee listened TO Chairman
Taussig, Of the Tariff Commission IN
regard to technical details Of the ques''
tion OF requiring importers to put "
bonds IN anticipation OF revenue
The committee adopted a resolution
asking the Treasury Department for all
available data on pronteering. THIS IN
formation Is ready, or nearly so, as
eenator Borah (ldsho) asked for the
same information In a resolution. SEN
ator Borah's resolution does not require
information regarding profits OF part
nerships, and some slight delay may
result.
Strong sentiment is developing in the
COMMITTEES to turn its attention first 10
the normal tax on incomes. Under two
existing laws this tax is four per cent
above the exemptions. IL Is practically
certain that there will be no lowering
the present exemptions. However, n
strong faction OF the committee Will de-
nand a greater normal tax be imposed.
Some members Of the committee in
sIst that Il should be graduated up to
as high as ten per cent The great
number OF small incomes reached by
fhe normal tax though would make II
possible TO increase the nations revenue
with only a slight increase In the nor
NAL tax on incomes.
II was established yesterday that the
revenue bill 10 be drawn up In the next
six weeks-and II win not require less
than that time--will be the last drawn
during the war unless absolutely un-
foreseen demands upon the country are
made.
The committee plans 70 draw the bill.
n was learned so that after the war
ends the income taxes and supertaxes
will prove sufficient to finance the needs
OF the Government.
10 IS planned by the committee, II was
learned. TO draw the revenue bill i'm
such fashion that all OF the excess
profits taxes may be repealed after the
war. This will cut of hundreds OF mil
lions OF dollars in revenue, hut the
drains OF war VIII have ceased then and
the income OF the Government may be
safely decreased. War excess profits
taxes now yield about si,3O00OO000.
Republicans are preparing TO make A

but Democrats on the committee ere

clRred that Judge A. v. Garrett, OF
