LARGED DRAFT AGES
NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY
Governor Stewart Returns From
Washington and Tells of Success
in Obtaining Aid for Drouth-
Stricken Montana Farmers

ACCOMPLISHMENTS have been re
ceived from Provost Marshal General
Crowder by Governor S. V. Stewart for
draft boards Immediately to make ar.
engagements for the registration of men
within the enlarged draft ages as pro-
posed by the bill now pending in con.
gress.
General Crowder stated that it is
not known what the new draft ages
will be, but that as the call for regis
tration will be fixed for a day early
in September and time will be short
in which to prepare, after the enact
ment of the bill, that arrangements
for the registration should be made at
once.
The adjutant general of each state
will have general supervision, under
the governor, of the registration, and
it will be handled by the present draft
boards save that in cities where there
are two local boards, one central reg
istratiOn committee is to be Jointly
selected.
The instructions state that regis
able so registrants, which will require
one and a third more registrars than
were required for the registration at
the time of the first draft registra-
ton. Volunteer registrars are desired,
but if unavoidable, compensation of
81 a day will be paid. Interpreters
must be provided in districts where
it is known their services will be re-
quired.
Wherever possible, General Crowder
says, the machinery used at the ordi-
nary elections should be availed of.
1t is planned TO have all the ma
terial distributed, registrars named,
and every provision made for the reg

passed and President Wilson issues his

Jamie, We Salute You'll

Wis. Jamie had heard all the discus

a little to know how such little boy
could have part in this great I'M

Without consulting anyone, Jamie
started about the farm harvesting
from hedges and wire fences the little
wisps of wool left there as his fathers
sheep pastured. AS 81 result of his
expedition Jamie came into the house
with his pockets and inside of his
waist bullying with wool. Mamma
Bliss was somewhat astOnished when
he explained that he was gathering
wool to sell so he could buy Thrift
stamps, but being wise mother. she
saw the point qIickly.

Becoming a Bondhoider.

Among my friends for years is a
Woodworking farmer with wife and
several children. He never seemed
to quite "get there" Though he work
ed hard, he just lacked the knack of
getting a bit ahead. During the past
year he seemed to have prospered.
When I saw him last week he said !:
"It's this way: I subscribed
$50 for a Liberty bond last year,
and simply had to pay for 1t.
did so by paying in every dollar
could spare, instead of spending money
for things we could just as well do
without. 1t is curious how one accumu-
lates If they go at it shat way.
81 see now that one reason why I
never saved any money was because
/ didn't have anything like this to take
my cash little at time. l used to
think that 1 would begin saving when
l had my bills paid and S25 to the
good, but have discovered at this late
date that the way to do 1t is to save a
little at time and put it by as you
get it. I have been surprised to find
that the same is true of so many other
farmers, especially renters. What
they have put into the Liberty bond is
money that would have slipped
through their fingers. They would have
nothing to show for it, whereas now
they have got bond earning good
interest. while their money is helping
to lick the kaiser. My first bond is
now paid in full and l am beginning
to save up my subscription to the
fourth Liberty bond"
This reminds me of still another
ease where the boys and girls have
earned and saved along with their
parents until their subscription for
each of the three Liberty loans are
now paid up. They did not see how
they could raise the money for their
first subscription. but their second was
double that. and the third was still
larger. The oldest boy was taken by
the draft, which made the family all
the more determined. The mother
is saving her egg money, each of the
children has a bit of garden from
which they are selling stuff, one of
the girls is member of the pig club,
and the oldest boy still at home has
quarter of an acre of onions that
promises splendid crop. The ia

TO FIGHT DISEASES
BY FARM SANITATION
Milk a Great Source OF
Danger

A visit to the average Southern farm
makes apparent the need for better
farm sanitation. Lack of cleanliness
about the stables, barn lots, pig styes
and poultry houses cause them to be
breeding places for flies and mosqui-
toes. Milk borne diseases are all too
common in country districts and are
que to lack of cleanliness in the pro-
auction and handling of milk and its
production. An enumeration of these
diseases may not be out of place.
lney are infectious diarrhoea, dys-
EMERY, tuberculosis, cowpox, typhoid
FEVER, paratyphoid, diphtheria, septic
sore throat, scarlet fever and various
INJECTIONS usually known as bad
Diood.' Milk is the most wholesome
and nutritious Of animal foods, but
When 1t is permitted to become con-
taminated with the germs of danger
Gus diseases it immediately becomes a
menace to health. Proper care ex.
erclsed as to the cleanliness of the
premises, the udder and teats of the
COW, the hands and clothing of the
mixer and the vessels In which milk
Is handled will eliminate most of the
Danger from this source.
On many farms and at practically
all villages and small town slaughter
pens 1t is customary to feed the offds
from butchering to hogs This ia
fraught with so much danger to tho
health Of people and animals that the
FEEDING of uncooked offal should be-
PROMPTED by state law. Various In.
tecuous and parasitic diseases of ami
mails and people are transmitted in
this manner. Trichinsis, muscle worm
infestation, and tapeworm larvae in.
festation. commonly known as pork
measles and beef measles, and tuber-
cuiosls, hog cholera and other in.
Iectlons are transmitted to animals
kept on premises where offal is fed
Wnen the meat of such animals ia used
Tor human food there is likelihood If
the disease being transmitted to peo.
pie.
lnnumerable parasitic diseases OF
farm animals are transmitted from
unsanitary feed lots and poorly drain
ed or swampy pastures. Manv forms
OF animal parasites pass a part of
the life cycle on the ground in moist
places or In the bodies of some of
the lower forms of life, such as snails
and the larvae Of beetles. Pasture
drainage and pasture rotation are the
means by which this class of infesta,
ton may be prevented or controlled.
A comparatively small expenditure of
money and labor will, on the average
farm, improve conditions wonderfully
In this respect and pay the owner a
high percentage of profit when intelli.
gently done. The losses from para.
site diseases of farm animals are so
great that in these times when con.
servation Of animal lives and health
Is SO important this feature of farm
sanitation should not be neglected.

CALF CLUBS CALLING
FOR PUREBRED ALVES
Mary Small Farmers Using
These Clubs AS a Market

The Calf Clubs Of Georgia are call.
Ing for pure bred calves and enrolling
more boys and girls this year than
ever before. This is just another in
dex OF the increasing interest in live
stock in the state. Through the COM
munity, county and state clubs the
young people are being given the best
methods Of feeding and breeding cat
tie.
Through well organized county
Calf Club, properly financed by the
local business men, the available in
formation of the College of Agricul-
ture has on the subject of cattle feed
ing and breeding and the practical
knowledge of the County Agent may
be placed in reach of the boys and
girls. and it will be possible for each
member to have calf of desirable
breeding to work with. 1t is not ex'
pected that the boys and girls so en-
gagged will Immediately launch out in
the cattle business or that the system
OF farming as practiced by their faith
ers will be materially changed, but it
is expected that the knowledge so
impaired to the farm boys and girls
will form a nucleus for future agri
cultural knowledge which will favor
a system of farming that takes into
consideration the value and place Of
cattle raising. This means that
through the Calf Club work live stock
men will be reared. After all, II is
livestock men that Georgia needs
most, for with them the cattle would
soon be on the farms.
Aside from the boys and girls
standpoint the work should prove of
immediate value to those farmers who
are raising cattle on a small scale
and depend on the local butcher and
country buyer for . market, and to
those who are interested in creating
an atmosphere favoring pure bred cat
tie. The market created when the
calves are purchased for the Calf Club
members should interest the farmers
who annually have calves for sale. A
number OF farmers understand so we'll
the vlue of the work in this respect
that they have been active in assist.
