Our Farm Notebook.

There's not a day to lose in get
ting in the fly screens now!
Potato spraying should not be neg
lected in the rush of planting.
Those who do not save what clover
seed they a may not be able to get
the needed amount next fall.
A silo insures a varied diet for the
farm stock in winter, just as a can
ming outfit does for the farm family
during the same period.
Keeping a machine or vehicle in
good repair and we'll oiled not only
increases it's efficiency but lessons
the power to operate it.
We should not tolerate any idle
land, but plant it in cowpe;. is good
insurance against hunger both for
mar and beast.
In clearing land, it is the general
custom to burn many of the logs and
poles that are in the way. This should
not be done this year when there is
a shortage of fuel. Work these logs
up into cord wood and sell them to
the city man-which will thus save
the Nations coal and be a patriotic
service.
Young frying chickens are now be
ing put on the market, and farmers
should remember to pen them for
~fattening at least ten days before
they are sold. Much may be added to
their weight in this time and is
the most profitable feeding the poul-
tryman can do. Some people even
make a living by buying poor fowls
and then fattening them for market.
Farmers who have not bought nj
trate of soda for ~top-dressing corn
and cotton should not delay, as this
fertilizer will likely be hard to get
promptly. The nitrate Of soda will
not remain in the soil very long, and
consequently should be applied when
needed by a growing crop. 1t will re-
main in the soil approximately eight
weeks. Progressive Farmer.

The Second Registration.

The local board has received from
the Provost Marshal General instruc-
tions and regulations governing the
registration of all young men who
have attained their 21st year since
June S, 1917. The day for the regis
tration has not been fixed, but will
be announced by telegraph to the
board as soon as it has been agreed
upon in Washington. Instead of hav-
ing a place of registration in each
township, as was done last year, all
rgistrants will be required to come
to Edgefeld on the day set for the
registration, and they will be regis
tered by the members and the clerk
of the local board. Due no.
tice will be given of the registration
and all citizens are urged to be on
the alert for slackers or persons dis
posed, through failure to register, to
shirk military duty. The white peo-
pie should inform the colored men
who are in their employment of the
registration after the date is nnoun
ed.
Just how many men through the
second draft will be added to the list
of men eligible for military service
is a matter of conjecture. The esti-
mate made by the War Department
is that a little more than 10 per cent.
of the total number registered last
summer, which would make the num-
Der in this county, both white and
colored, about $50. Let each reader
of The Advertiser make its wv es-
innate or guess as to what the num-
of The Advertiser make his W es-
be known the day following the reg
istration, as a report must be made
by telegraph to the Provost Marshall
General on that day.
Later:-Since the above was put
in type, Wednesday, June 5, has
been fixed as the date fer the sec
ond registration. 1t is probable that
registrations will after that date be
held quarterly.
