The loss to the Reserve component Of
the Army of the United States of the
great number of Reserve Offlcers' Train
ing Corps graduates who, while accepting
Reserve commissions upon graduating,
do not take sufficient interest in the
Organized Reserve to maintain their
eligibility as Reserve officers is re-
garded as a consideration of the great
est Importance, at the present time, to
the success of the Organized Reserves.
A considerable number of young men of
the District who are attending George
town University. George Washington
University, the University of Maryland
the University of Virginia and Howard
University will, upon their graduation
this coming June, be given Reserve
commissions, and active steps toward
stimulating interest in active train
ing as Reserve officers of these r. o.
T. G. graduates should be taken.
In one Of the corps areas last year
special efforts were made to give active
duty training to the r. o. r c. grad
yates Immediately after their gradua-
ton in June. and this experiment
proved so successful that It is being
planned to train more this June The
policy of using a number of selected
r. o. T. c. graduates as instructors
in the Citizens Military Training
Camps has been found to produce ex-
cellent results, and it is believed that
this policy warrants general applica-
ton.
Lieut. Col Elmo y. F1ynt, adjutant
general Reserve, has been detailed to
six months active duty as an addi-
tional member of the War Department

Farms Surplus.

In recent paper DR.. William ]. Hale
says that prosperity for the farmer is at
hand through the use of grain as raw
material for chemical manufacturing
plants. The farmer would not export
grain under the system, DR.. Hale fore
sees, but would sell it to industries in
his district, which would utilize it with
out waste.
When agriculture enters the chemical
industry farm waste will be unknown
and the troublesome surplus will vanish
through the joint effort Of the farm CO.
operatives and the carbohydrate indus
tries. with the financial backing of the
Federal Farm Board. This plan he de-
scribeS as dramatically different from
the dole or debenture scheme, so utterly
un-American in conception and so
drastically condemned by the public"

Sunday on Water Front.

Sunday always brings a miscellaneous
collection of visitors to the docks of a
river city. There are many fishermen
but few fish. Every open wharf will
reveal a few hopeful individuals with
rod or line, and perhaps without the
rod, sitting over the edge hoping for a
bite. No matter how small the catch
may be it is regarded with evident
pride. Other visitors consist of small
boys in groups climbing and running,
and father with families in tow. The
children with an interest in the boats,
the fathers in the fishermen.
