lean Lake. Washington forms an in
tcrestine commentary in refutation Of
I traditional criticisms OF army red
tape.
Insomuch as the plans for the han
ding of these draft cOntingents were
/ made days before the trains bringing
these recruits arrived extra hours
were the rule in the personnel office
for ten days or SO prior to that event.
The hours heightened when the trains
began to pour in. for some Of them
came as early as ) a. III. and others
late as 80 q. m. and none of their
recruits was forced to wait very long
before assignment to some infantry
company for quarters and messing.
Each recruit who arrived was rep
resented in the records by eight
p?,ers Seven of these, chief Of
which was his service record. was
'u~u"d over to the regiment to which
ne VAS attached. The eighth, the per
sonnet card. WAS handled by tn" per
sonnet office.
The cards representing each train
load OF men were distributed into the
proper files in the personnel office
before the next train arrived. which
sometimes was as little as half an
hour after the preceding one. When
the cards all had been distributed,
lists were made showing the number
Of men of each vocational training

in the entire draft. and. by comparison

This is part of the present plan to
put each man in the post where he
will be most valuable and to utilize eX-
perience gained in civ:l life in army
activities.
All sorts of requests for specially
trained men, outside seventy or more
specific classes needed regularly, came
to the personnel office. Two regi-
ments wanted electrical and mechan-
zeal engineers Several wanted gun
smiths. One wanted number OF
trained tractor operators. The vol.

The cards showed that draft men
had all sorts of occupations, from
graduate dentist to blacksmith To
aid in classifying them, each card was
provided with tab \ green tab
signitied an expert. a red one skilled

definite statement of each mans chief
occupation is placed on each card. A
! typical one was: An around work

sified as expert driver and qualified
operator of tractors.

COMPLETE FERTILIZER
WINS ACRE PROFIT TEST
The Michigan Experiment Station Re.
ports That All Fertilizers Paid a
Profit When Used on Wheat.

According to the 1917 report of the
Michigan state board of agriculture,
complete fertilizer used on wheat in
corn, wheat. clover rotation in
creased the crop 13 bushels per acre.
The experiment station officials calcu-
late that at old prices for both ferti-
lizer and crops the profit for the use
of fertilizer was $13.51 per acre.
When phosphoric acid and potash
were used the gain over and above the
cost of fertilizer was $12.79-this in
spite of the fact that heavy clover
sod was turned under once in three
years. Acid phosphate alone produced
a net gain of $S.61.
The conclusions are as follows: ut
should be noted that all fertilizers
have been used with good profits. The
conclusion would seem to be war;
ranted that on farms of similar soil
types the use of fertilizer should
prove profitable, provided, Of course,
there are no other factors, such as
lack of drainage and improper culture,
that seriously limit production, and
that the use of complete fertilizer
should pay best In case a limited
amount of manure is available, while
on well-stocked farms phosphorus and
potash could probably be used more
profitably."

WHEAT A HARD DRINKER

Every pound Of wheat requires an
average of $50 to 500 pounds Of water
to carry 1t from planting to maturity.
Early blowing and frequent working
of the seeded helps to retain soil
moisture. A light narrowing or disk
Ing early in the spring cultivates the
wheat and forms soil mulch that pre-
vents the escape of winter rains so
needed by the wheat when filling and
ripening. Experiment stations have
found that wheat, well supplied with
available plant food or growing on
rich soils, can produce bigger crop
with less moisture than 1t can on a
poor soil or on one not well supplied
with available plant food. Wheat on
rich soils continues to grow even If the
supply of moisture is scanty. Sup
plying available plant food to wheat
enables 1t to produce larger yields on
the same amount Of water. This Is
especially important when the rain.
fall Is below normal.
Organic matter holds water like
sponge and releases It TO the wheat for
termination.

ANOTHER THEORY"
ON THE ROCKS
The Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Disproves Old Story.

Every now aud usl during these
strenuous days we find someone doing
one of those "can't-be-dOnes" with ap-
parent ease. Probably the fellow didn't
know II couldn't be DONE" so he went
ahead and did 1t.
One of the latest of the pet theories
to go by the board is the one that the
use of any form of commercial ferti-
lizer ultimately runs down the soil and
causes 1t to become very unproductive.
Why this theory ever existed Is hard
to tell. Perhaps someone misused
fertilizer and killed the crop. Such
a thing is possible. Perhaps too little
or too much was used. or perhaps 1t
was simply because the wish was ia
Their to the thought. Anyhow 1t did
exist and men allowed crop produc-
ton to go steadily downhill because
they were afraid to use fertilizer to
bring 1t up.
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton has done some very notable work
along this line as reported in Bulletin
lat. The investigators took a poor,
depleted sofia typical rundown
farmland in a few years brought 1t
back to a productive and profitable
condition. How? Simply by using
fertilizer. In other words, they proved
that not fertilizers but the lack Of
them ran down farm soils.
The story is interesting. Complete
fertilizers were used up to 1914. Since
then potash has been omitted and fer
tilizer containing nitrogen and avail
able phosphoric acid has been used.
The soil was not farmed under market
garden conditions. Fertilizer was used
in but small amounts, an average Of
slightly over 300 pounds per acre per
year. The fourth year of the test a
wheat crop averaging "a bushels per
acre was taken from the land-this,
by the way, on soil that had received
no barnyard manure for many years.
A few years ago the neighbors Of
the man who used fertilizer would
shake their heads wisely and say !:
"Oh, yes, he gets big yields now.
but in a few years his soil will
be so poor he won't get anything"
Now they say: "JOnes certainly is
lucky. He got big crop just when the
price was right. OF course I could
have done the same thing as he did
If had used as much fertilizer"

rye is used in this proportion or a
greater proportion, no other substi-
tutes are required. If less than this
proportion of rye -four is used the diff
ference between such amount used
and 40 per cent must be made up Of
other substitutes.
Rule GA. Bakers will be required
to use one pound of substitutes to
each four pounds Of wheat -four in all
bakery products including bread, ex-
cept Glass 3a-Crackers, in which only
10 per cent Of substitutes other than
rye are required.
The use of the name Victory" will
be allowed in all products containing
the above proportions of substitutes.
Revisons of Previous Rules.
The previous rules limiting licenses,
millers, wholesalers. retailers, and
bakers to thirty days supply of -four
will be changed to permit sixty
days supply.
The rules limiting sales by retailers
of wheat -four to an eighth of e.s)arrel
in cities and quarter of barrel in
sparsely settled districts are rescind-
ed.
The rule limiting the sale Of flour
by millers to wholesalers, or whole
salers to retailers in combination with
substitutes or certificates therefore.
and the rule restricting the sale OF
70 per cent of previous sales, are re-
scinded.
Manufacturers of alimentary pastes
and wheat breakfast foods are limited
to their normal consumption of wheat
or wheat -four with the understanding
that they are not to unduly expand
their ordinary consumption of wheat.
Rules prohibiting the starting of
new plants ready for operation prior
to July /, 1918, are rescinded.
Where millers sell directly to con-
sumers they shall obey the same reg
ulations as retail store dealers.
Wheatless days and wheatless meals
are discontinued.
Nothing in these regulations is to
be construed to mean that there has
been any setting aside or changing of
the Pure Food Laws as promulgated
by the Bureau of Chemistry, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, or the Internal
Revenue Law as administered by the
Internal Revenue Commissioner which
requirements must be conformed to by
manufacturers and dealers In all cases

REVISE OF NEW WHEAT RULES
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1.
20 Per Cent Substitute.

All wheatless days and meals fol
America are abolished. but all bread
used In this country must correspond
to the bread to be used abroad II
must not exceed 80 per cent wheat.
1T has been agreed that the wheat
bread Of the allies shall contain 20
per cent grain Of other than wheat
and it Is only Just that we should bear
our share in this saving and that our
bread at least should be universal with
those who are suffering more greatly
from the war than ourselves" says the
announcement from Herbert Hoover
Office. Exact proportions for mixing
victory -four" are given:
Four pounds of wheat flour to one
pound OF barley. 8t.
Four pounds of wheat flour to one
pound of corn -four
Eight pounds of wheat -four to one
pound Of barley -four and one pound
Of corn flour.
Three pounds of wheat flour to not
less than two pounds of rye flour.
Whole wheat, entire wheat or gra-
ham -four or meal must contain at
least 95 per cent Of the wheat berry
Dealers may sell these fiours with
out accompanying substitutes, but
where straight wheat -four Is sold
twenty per cent substitutes must be
sold coincidently.
Rule on wheat -four and substitutes
Is abolished. Bakers bread must con-
tain at least 20 per cent of substitutes.
The food administration relies on
the women Of the country who make
their own bread to see that the sub
stitutes are mixed in at least as heavy
a proportion as the administration has
ordered in the case Of victory fiours."
Corn meal for corn bread should be
purchased separately, as its purchase
with wheat -four would disturb the
proportions Of substitutes which the
administration prescribes.
Special Substitutes.
II the consumer objects to the use
of barley or corn fiours as a substi-
tute with wheat -four, the dealer may
substitute, at the rate Of one pound
with every four pounds of straight
wheat -four, feterita -four or meal, rice.
oats, kaffir, milo peanut, bean, potato,
sweet potato flour.
Pure rye flour or meal may be sub
stituted in the proportion Of two
pounds of rye with three pounds of
wheat.
These rules are also applied to GUS
tom and exchange transactions be-
tween the mills and the farmer.
Restrictions of bakers to 10 per cent
Of their 1917 wheat consumption is re-
scinded but they must. follow the mix
ing orders, except that in crackers
only 10 per cent of substitutes other
than rye -four are required.
Bakers and dealers will be permit
ted to carry a 60-days' supply Of flour,
instead of thirty day as Is now the
rule, and the rules restricting the
amount Of sales are cancelled, except
as the new order requires the accom-
panying substitutes.
