LOWER DRAFT STANDARDS.

TO RE at il" best an army must he physically 1T,
Of course, and yet there is no denying the justice and
common sense OF readjuSting the physical standards for
drafted men, and, presumably. for others seeking to enter
the army. II would he fine, OF course, il We could muster
an army Of Apollos or able gladiators. but physical per
lection isn't common enough to permit anything like that
BESIDES, as the irritated patriot said when rejected for flat
feet, it isn't going to be necessary to kick the Germans
Under the new rulings, flat feet aye no longer a bar to
Service, and other blemishes will be overlooked. A corn,
complicated with cold feet, will no longer keep a husky
youth in the bosom of his family to tell how he wanted
to 20. Given a normal number OF legs and arms in fairly
good working order, and eyesight sufficient to spy a boche
from the front line trenches, a man has a fair prospect
Of seeing service.
This new plan will certainly increase the number OF
soldiers available among the tegistrants, and II some OF
them are slightly below par, the average will still be better
than the German average, so hard is that country pressed
for men. And the training will correct many Of the defects
which formerly kept men in civil life. In that way il will
prove a blessing, and go far toward putting our manhood
in the pink OF condition. II it takes some who wanted 10
dodge the issue, there will be little grief on that score, and
Il will certainly give some men a chance who really wanted
it, and were denied under the old regulations. A good
many standards will have to be changed before this war
Is over.

AGREEING WITH THE COLONEL.

THE TIMES has tangled with 7 X so frequently on
4 his criticisms Of the war and the conduct thereof, that
Il !, rather a pleasant ,urprix to encounter a Roosevclthn
effort which meet, with our approval, and probably Il,
favored by the vast majority OF patriotic Americans. A.
he pointed out in his article yesterday, Il IL essential that
those who are not producers OF neeessitis, must conserve,
but II Is OF even greater importance that production be
increased. and that food production Is the most imperative
need. Also. there can be no doubt that the farmer will
best respond to the demand II a fair profit for his products
Is assured. That does not mean that the consumer should
be further pinchsd by permitting prices to become c-
orbitant, but Il does mean that the farmer should have a
fair deal in his purchases as we'll a, In his sales; that
price, fixing should work both ways, and II is interesting
and unusual that the colonel is also in accord with 'he gov
ernmen, on this point
Mr.. Roosevelt also makes a popular, and, 1t is hoped, a
practicable suggestion, when he says we should refrain
from importing cheap labor That idea is d%istaseiul 70
Americans. and, to some extent, actually against existing
statutes. To prevent such an arrangement, every agency
which can should seek to solve the farm labor problem. and
other question, Of man power in other way. Curtailing
needless work. and better distribution Of the labor supply,
seem to offer a solution, without the need Of a farm labor
draft, which the colonel suggests.
Given the money to finance the planting and the harvest,
and with the needed labor available, there !, no doubt that
the patriotic farmer. will make a supreme effort to meet
the call Of the world for food. In a damaged winter wheat
crop there is 4 handicap, but with good luck in the form Of
good weather, this may be overcome by the spring wheat
area. and in the production Of other cereals and food
crops. Surely no possible encouragement should be with
held from a movement so vital to the welfare Of the world
and its peoples.

WAR PLANTS FOR THE WEST.

DORK, should have no place in the expenditures incident
= to ~upbuilding the army and producing its supplies. Let
factories, environments, depots, hospitals and other structures
be built where they will best serve the needs OF the war,
and let federal financing of private plant, for war purposes
be for those institutions which promise greatest production
to best advantage. The west and southwest want no more
than that. In common with the rest of the country, their
great ambition is to win the war. There arc, however,
logical arguments why this section might be considered
in developing war industries, The resources Of material
and fuel are easily available, and a wider distribution Of
such industries might help to solve the vexins labor prob
lem. The main point is to expand production, and il this
region can help in that, it is at the governments service, as
il has been from the start in other patriotic work.

SAGE the Waste and Win the War;
SENSE AND SUPERSTITION.

"A FEARLESS lcONoCLAST. {. R Donart, county
"a farm agent, spool, at the time .honored theory that the
loon, phase, have any bearing on potato production. This
prossic and practical person will probably further INSIST
that the sign, Of the zodiac have no bearing on the crop
OUTLOOK, and that pork won't shrink unduly II the hogs
sre killed In the dark Of the moon. Thus one by one the
fcpd beliefs Of our ~fotefathefs are being iolted by the
farsarA march Of science. Meteorological experts have
discouuted the equinoetial 'toyn oyr ancestors expected
and the buckeye Is no longer accepted as a sure preventive
Of rheumatism. Slowly, but surely, superstition is yielding
10 common sense, which isn't so common, after all, as the
vosds might indicate.
Rsvertins to Mr.. Donart, enlish,ening remarks, how
ever, We should al be In accord on one point concerning
pstto planting; More of them should be planted Whether
no cling to the theory Of lunar influence on the tuber
ouput, or not, increase the yield, for the spud is an i'm
postans food product, and, properly cultivated in favorable
weather, give, tremendou, yield per acre, and quantity
woduction Is Of primary Importance when a large part OF
Tie world Is hungry. There is another school Of potato
growers who think the planting should be done op Good
Friday and there is probably as much logic to their system
- to that Of those who look to the moon for guidance.
DIT II only they will plant enough and till them properly,
ssch supersttiom as they cling to will be forgiven II not
forgotten.
Meanwhile, let us not neglect the other garden products.

There may be a few northers and other forms Of chilliness

siy with q million dollars worth Of garden truck to

planning science and sense should be given more consid'
