NEW BULLETINS.

The following bulletins have been
received from the agricultural expert
ment station at Purdue University,
Lafayette, Ind. While these bulletins
are prepared for the State of Indiana
they apply also to the conditions in
New York and other sections Of about
the same latitude. They are well worth
studying by those interested. They
are to be had on request:

No. 213-The Value Of Lin. on In

Bulletin 211 states that leghorn
pullets were as profitable in 1911 as
during the three previous years. The
income per pullet was from sc.47 to
$409. The net profit on investment
was from 90 to "A per cent. The net

COX EXPLAINS
DRAF 7 REQUEST
Cites Example To Show
Where Injustice Was
Worked In Farmers Case.

[By Associated Press to The Bannerl
COLUMBUS, Jan. rs - SeVerai
days ago when Governor Cox asked
local and district draft boards to give
very close attention to the matter ol
considering questionnaires returned
by young men engaged in any way in
agricultural pursuits, he called atten-
ton to some of the cases that have
been brought to his attention, indicat-
ing that it will require Conscientious
efforts on the part of the boards to be
certain that the states agricultural
forces are not depleted.
"One registrant was born and reared
on a farm" said the governor. He
spent three terms in school studying
to prepare himself for management
and operation of a farm, working only
during the summer months at his fol-
lowing. The questionnaire showed that
he had spent the larger part of the
last three years as a student, so the
local board recommended that he be
put in Division A, thereby making him
subject to early draft, whereas he
should have been treated as a skilled
farmer or skilled farm manager.
France and England made the mis-
take of not properly protecting their
agricultural interests and are now
compelled to look to us for necessary
food products. Therefore, il IL abso-
lutely necessary that we protect our
agricultural interests and not make
the same mistakes that our Allies
made"
