D. L. SLOAN URGES
GROWING Of MORE
STOCK FEED

Mr.. D. H. Sloan advances the fol-
lowing splendid ideas on the growing
of stock feed:
Grow more stock feed and use the
money continually pouring out of the
State for this purpose in other ways.
One OF the heaviest drains on this
section is for stock feed large part
OF which can be grown at home. The
time was when feed was so cheap that
farmers felt that they could buy feed
cheaper than they could produce ii.
and while this might have been true
to an extent, at least at one time, GER
tain 1t is that it is not true now. The
average farmer lets enough grass 60
to waste each year to supply all the
hay needed on his place, and then
there are other than regular field
crops which can be grown throughout
the year which not only make the feed
bill much smaller, but give a variety
which is better for stock thar all
grain and other staple feeds. A
patch of rye planted in early fall, also
rape, are fine for horses, cattle hogs
and poultry. Cassava is another crop
which does we'll in this section even
on poor soils. Millett and sorghum are
fine for early spring planting, the lat
ter not only being fine for stock, but
good syrup crop, coming in between
sugar cane seasons Another fine crop
J for this section and one which does
we'll on almost all kinds Of soils ia
Japanese cane. This will grow well
for years without replanting and is
fine not only for stock of all kinds
including hogs, but is fine SYRUP
cane. A very small patch will sup
ply a surprisingly large amount OF
feed, and in addition enough syrup tc
supply good sized family for year,
Most of the above can be grown large
ly in between times for other crops
and without much loss either in time
or space from other items produced OF
the average farm of this section. Vel
vet beans is a splendid crop which
not only produces large amount o
fine feed per acre, but enriches thu
soil at the same time.

The former County Judge appears
from the applications for hunting IL

lively, thereby over charging many
applicants $.25 for hunting licenses

been 1850 enormously omitted In

ARGENTINA SHAKEN
BY RAILROAD STRIKE;
TRACKS DYvAM|TED
General Strike Throughout
Country Accompanied by
Scenes of the Widest Dis
order

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. s.-Argentina
railroad strike tonight.
Strikers have dynamited tracks ond
burned great quantities of foodstuffs
and munitions.
Troops are modelling to quell the
disorders. The strikers have declared
their intention to resist and heavy cas-
ualties are feared when they clash with
the soldiers.
The outbreak came almost without
warning. It's suddeness caught the au-
thorities unprepared. Railroads have
been blown up and explosives were
ablaze before anything untoward was
anticipated.
On the outskirts of BIeons Aires the
strikers were particularly active. Twen-
ty-tive. carloads of wheat and explosives
were destroyed by fire.
Military forces were disadventageous-
ly located to cope with the situation
They were garrisoned in localities far
removed from the centers of disorder
The quick destruction of railroad
tracks in all parts of the country pre-
vented mobilization of the troops. They
will be sent against the strikers as
soon as transportation can be provided.
The situation was characterized by gov
eminent officials tonight as grave.
Drastic government action is expected.
Results of an extended strike would
be far-reaching. During the recent
general strike when transportation was
paralyzed throughout the country,
localities were confronted with actual
starvation through cutting off of their
supplies.

NEW SELECTIVE SERVICE
LAW FAVORABLY REPORTED
Would Require Registration of
Every Man as He Be-
comes 81

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--A favorable
report on the war apartments bill
amending the selective service law, to
require registration of men as they
reach 21 years and basing quotas on the
number of men in class one instead of
on state populations, was unanimously
ordered today by the senate military
committee.
The proposal to exempt men as they
reach 81 years IF they have not been
called. which was opposed by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, was not in
cluded in the bill.
An amendment, proposed by Senator
New, Of Indiana, to require registration
of youths 10 years and over, also was
rejected.
Another bill favorably reported which
affects the draft, would authorize the
president in any emergency, to call into
immediate military service skilled ex-
perts in industry or agriculture, re-
CARELESS of classification, residence or
quota.
The committee also favorably report
ed the following:
Changing method of apportioning
draft quotas in districts where there is
a large alien registration.
Creating a nurses corps with the
United States army and prescribing
methods of appointment and pay.
hTe change in the apportioning sys-
tenn bases the quota on the number of
American citizens eligible for military
service, rather than upon the total regis
tration including aliens not subject to
call.
This measure is designed to prevent
recurrence of instances where, because
of large alien registration, practically
all Americans were called.
