IMPORTANT NOTICE
FOR DRAFT ELIGIBLES

Neglect by any draft registrant who
has been granted deferred classified
tion to report to his local board within
five days any fact that might change
or affect his classification, will be a
very serious matter, indeed, for that
draft registrant.
The penalty for such forgetulness is
up to one year in Jail. And govern
ment appeal agents and the police
have been instructed to watch very
closely the status of all registrants in
deferred classes.
AS an example. suppose draft reg
istrant, who other wise would be in
Glass /, to have been granted deferred
classification by reason of his employ
ment in shlpyard.
His deferred classification holds good
only for the time he is actually so en-
ployed.
If he quits work in that shipwyard
for any reason whatsoever, he must
report the fact, within five DAYS of his
quitting, to the local board.
If he doestn't report it, the change
in his status is certain to become
known sooner or later. He will be
arrested, prosecuted and probably sent
to Jail.
Making a false report is punishable
as severely as neglecting to make any
report.
The rule cited does not apply only to
men employed in shipyards. 1t applies
equally to any draft registrant in a
deferred classification whose status
has been changed.

NITRATE OF SODA
AVAILABLE AT COST

To the farmers and fruit growers of
Hood River county:
| wish to make the following an
nouncement:
The United States Department of
Agriculture has purchased 100. 900 tons
of nitrate of soda and proposes to dis
pose of this fertilizer direct to farmers
at cost plus the local freight from sea-
port to point of destination. The plan
provides that farmers must make ap-
plication for this fertilizer through
county agricultural agents and local
committees appointed by such agents.
In every county having no agricultural
agent the state director of extension is
expected to appoint committee of
three and TO designate one member Of
this committee to perform as chairman
the duties of county agent in taking
active lead in the county. Applica-
tions for nitrate must be in the hands
of the chairman or member of the
committee not later than February so
the necessity for quick action is appar-
ent.
In the absence of a regular county
agent have been appointed by the ex-
tension department of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College to act as chairman
of this committee. The two other
members of this committee are A. W.
Stone, manager Apple Growers Associ.
alton, and Leroy Childs, Hood River
Experiment Station. Applications
should be sent to myself Or to either of
the two whose names are given. Ap-
plicatiohs should indicate amount of
nitrate required and for what crop.
Remember that this holds good only
until FEBRUARY A. Advices have Just
reached me that approximately 40, 1000
tons of nitrate will be distributed from
Portland and Seattle. The approx
mate cost per ton will be about SIS.
We urge that fruit growers and far
mers of this county avail themselves
of this opportunity to secure cheaper
fertilizer. 1t is not urged that anyone
buy this fertilizer because of it's great
ly reduced price only, nor in larger
quantities than sufficient to meet pres
ent years needs. The grower will ap-
preciate this is war emergency pro.
vision and it is hoped that he will make
use of it with that idea in mind.
