INJUSTICE

Askov Cooperative Association
decided at the last annual meeting
to collect all notes given for part
payment on shares. This is not fair
as, these notes were given in good
faith with the understanding that
only 81 should be due annually on
each share until paid, either by divi-
dend earned or by cash If dividends
cannot cover it. And 1t Is not good
business principle to act otherwise.
and / do not believe you can collect
more than 20 per cent annually on
each Share.
Respectfully.

10000 NEGROES To
Be CALLED To ARMY

WASHINGTON, March 9-seventy
thousand colored troops will be called
within a short time, it was ,annonced
today. This will finish the first
draft call for all states. The colored
men, principally from southern states,
were not called earlier because the
camps have not been selected. The
War Department has delayed bring
ing the colored troops from the warm
southern climate until the weather
moderates in the north.
The last group of white soldiers,
amounting to 10000 was called today
Theonly other white soldiers to be
called into service by the first draft
will be to fill vacancies. They will be
chosen by the local boards from the
list of eligible.
A training camp for colored officers
was established in Iowa last summer.
1t is pretty well settled that all the
camps for enlisted men will be in the
northern states The movement of
these troops will begin shortly and
continue until the quotas of all states
are filled.

To AID INCREASE
IN FOOD RAISING

STATE COLLEGE, Penn, March g..
To prevent an annual loss estimated
at 135.356.O0O bushels of wheat, oats.
barley and rye, and tremendous loss
es' in other staple crops, specialists
on agriculture have organized an War
Emergency Board of American Plant
Pathologists This board has in
augurated a nation wide campaign to
increase food production through con-
troll of distinctive plant diseases dur
ing the coming growing season
Because the consumer pays for ev-
cry rotted and scabby potato and ev-
cry smutted grain of wheat or oats
the farmer grows, without having them
as food, hundreds of trained workers
intend to carry the campaign into all
the states Teachers, research work.
ers and students are being enlisted in
the service which will show the farm
err how to increase their yields of
disease-free crops.
These preventable diseases will be
attacked vigorously as the first step
of comprehensive program to pre-
vent food waste Further efforts to
save food are to be made by teaching
methods of eliminating losses in trans
portation, storage and in households.
The War Emergency Board, OF
which Dr. F. D. Kern, plant patho
lcgist at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege, is member, expects to give
direct aid to growers as to the advisa-
bility and prices of spray materials.
Assistance will be given to the plans
disease survey undertaken by the
department of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the state colleges of agri-
culture and other agencies.
Plans and projects for the cam
paign were considered at a special
meeting of the board in Washington
this month, The country was dis
tricted into six sections, each in
charge of a commissioner selected by
the board.
A concrete example of how the
scientists will attempt to increase
Uncle Sans food output is given in
the statement that there is an annual
loss of from four to five bushels Of
wheat and grain every year from ev,
cry acre of these crops. This loss is
attributed to grain smut, disease
which the board says is entirely pre-
yentable by an application of com
mon disinfectant, costing only few
cents, to the seed before it is planted
Spreading information of this nature
and of similar character for other
crops on other preventable diseases
is to be one of the chief activities
of the board.
The board is making a complete
survey of the workers whoa re quail
fed and willing to assist in the battle
against plant diseases. To this end
the board is taking a nation wide
census of plant disease Specialists
who will be enlisted.
Work has been started on the gath
ering of accurate Information on loss
es in staple crops due to diseases.
Teachers of botany and plant path
ology are being urged to give special
attention to the training of students
along the line of fighting plant dis
eases. Many workers are needed to
take up work already planned by State
and Federal Agents.
Seven men all pathologists at agri-
cultural colleges, constitute the War
Emergency Board,
