CLAUDE SPENCE is
CALLED TO COLORS

Claude Spence, who is at present
doing duty as power house fireman,
recently received notification from
the Local Board for the County of
Grayson, with headquarters at hide
pendence, Virginia, that his order
number has already been passed,
which means that he has been draft
ed into the National army. He was
also notified to take his medical
examination here and have the Local
Board forward the papers to hide
pendence, Va.
Claude is preparing to leave on
the first boat, which will probably
be the Yukon and has telegraphed
the board at independence accord
ingly and requested them to arrange
for the necessary transportation.
He expects to hear from them in the
course of a day or two.

COMMITTEE IS
RUSHING PLANS
FOR JULY FOURTH
Those In Charge of Celebration
Promise Record Blowout For
Railroad Town.

The committee in charge of the
Nenana Fourth of July celebration
made a most encouraging report to
! the Commercial club yesterday after
noon, and it is now assured that
independence Day will be observed
here in a manner befitting both the
occasion and the town. Ample
funds, it was reported, were in sight
to finance the elaborate program
planned by the committee, and the
members henceforth will give their
undivided attention to arranging
the other details of the celebration.
Advices received from Fairbanks
indicate that number of residents
of the upper town are planning to
do their celebrating in Nenana, not
withstanding the fact that the usual
celebration will be held there. The
number who will come to Nenana,
it is believed, will be limited only
by the facilities Of transportation
available at the time.
1t is recognized that Nenana now
is in a position to celebrate on a
scale greater than that of any other
town in Interior Alaska and that
the town has, in addition, many ma
tural advantages which are sure to
contribute in no small degree to the
success of the festivities.
The committee was unable to re-
port definitely on the proposed auto
races. The matter has been taken
up with number of speed men of
the upper town and if they can be
induced to make the trip downriver
substantial purses will be hung ur
for their benefit.
The new ball grounds on the
school reserve are taking form rap
idly and will be in splendid condition
for the Fourth of July games. There
is possibility that the Brooks team
will be here to cross bats with the
local players. A grandstand is to
be erected for spectators.
BY the end of this week the COM
mittee probably will have COM
pleted their plans, and full announce
ment of the program will doubtless
then be possible. In the meantime,
the members desire the full cooper
alton of all Nenanaites to the end
that the celebration may be the big
gest and best event in Interior
Alaska this year

FAIRBANKS NOTES

George Starr, a 14-year-old boy
was arrested today on a statutory
charge under section 2O10 of the
Compiled Laws of Alaska. The
complaint was filed by District At
torney Roth on Saturday last. Starr
was released on his own recog-
nizance until June 25.
The arrest of Starr was the out
come of a scandal in the upper town
in which several young boys were
involved. A gang of them inspired
by stories of the Diamond Dick
variety, were engaged in unlawful
pursuits and had made arrange
ments to hold up, rob, kill and bury

of R. S. Osbourne, a recent arrival

experience in fish culture, having
made quite fortune in the business

ton at the first pickings. Only few
varieties possesses resistance to wilt
in high degree, and only the best of
these are recommended for use where
wilt is present
For WiIt-Infected Land

present, says the new bulletin, none
but the very best INTERESTING varie,

In fact, our experiments and the ex-
perience of hundreds of farmers in
trying to grow non-resistant varieties
on wilt-infected land, have demonstrat-
ed time and again the futility of at
tempting to grow any but these wilt
resistant varieties on land affected
with this dreaded disease"
Outside of the wilt-infected land in
South Georgia, Cleveland and Cook
varieties can be successfully grown, if
seed Of the earliest and best strains
are used. Cleveland is the best all
round big-boll variety, and the Wanna
maker strain is the earliest known.
In all sections Of the state where
there is no wilt infection, Express
and Weber No. 40 are the best up
land, long staple varieties to grow.
The Express is the earliest variety;
the Weber is big-holled, the earliest
strain being No. 40.
For late planting in North Georgia,
outside of the boil weevil limits, it is
usually best to grow the early matur-
ing varieties, such as King, Broadwell,
Bank Account, and so on. None of
these varieties, however, have been
bred for pure seed strains under the
boards direction.
Of the varieties which are now
being bred under the boards direction,
in different sections of the state, pedl-
greed seed of a few Of them are now

breeders. All inquiries for seed ad-

The new bulletin gives some valu-
able suggestions with reference to the
growing of upland long staple cotton;
and advises that farmers who are not
familiar with these varieties, should
carefully consider every phase of
growing, handling and marketing
them before attempting to grow them
extensively.
In the bulletin detailed report is
made upon the variety tests conducted
at each point mentioned; so that the
grower may see at a glance which par

Atlanta, January, 1918. (Special)-
Dealing with cotton variety tests for
the purpose of combating boil weevil
and disease conditions in Georgia, the
State Board of Entomology has just
published a bulletin which will be Of
important interest to every cotton
planter in the state.
These tests were made by the board
in cooperation with progressive farm
ers in different sections of the state;
and the Importance of them lies in the
fact that they offer proven suggestion
as to the best varieties to plant in var
ious localities and under the condi-
tons which the growers have to CON
tend with.
1t will be impossible, of course, to
give detailed information in the space
of brief article; so that the purpose
here is to impress upon the cotton
grower the great Importance Of secur-
ing and planting the variety of seed
best adapted to his locality, under all
conditions, and then to work to the
end of maintaining the purity of his
seed and improving it by selection
from year to year Those desiring
more complete information, should
write the Georgia Board of Entomol-
ogy, Atlanta, Ca, for a copy of the new
bulletin No. so, on Variety Tests, pre-
pared by Assistant Entomologist A. c.
Lewis and Cotton Breeding Expert G.
A. McLendon.
What the Tests Have Shown.
The boards variety tests were con
Quoted near Vienna, Lumpkin, Bruins
wick and Pinehurst in Middle and
South Georgia, and in Burke and Han
cock counties in East and Northeast
Georgia. In some sections of the state
the work of breeding the strongest
possible strains of seed has been in
progress for several years. Farmers
who have grown seed under the
boards direction, have seed for sale
for planting purposes, which is as
good as can be obtained, and this
seed is always sold at reasonable
prices.
AS a result of this work thousands
of bushels of pedigreed seed are now
available, through these cooperative
breeders, for planting this spring.
In recommending varieties that can
be most proftably grown in Georgia,
these things, among others. have been
considered: Earliness for boil weevil
conditions, resistance to wilt and 9th
er diseases, fruiting habits, length,
strength and percentage of lint, size
and shape of bolls and density of fol
iage. Earliness for boil weevil con-
ditions consists not only in early
blooms and open bolls. but also in
rapid and continuous blooming until

BRITISH WORKERS

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The fourth year

Increases to workingmen exceeded

the three years, 1915-16-17, together
with the rise in prices Of commodities,
have completely revolutionized the

trade.
The unpleasant feature of the year
has been the growing discomfort and
