About 200 Men Will Bt Called in North Train.

Registration of men in Alaska under the Selective Service Act will be deferred until after January L, and when the first draft is made for compulsory military training it is expected approximately POO men will be selected from the territory, 1.
 This information has been re- ceived from Delegate Anthony J. Dimond.
 The Delegate asserts that present plans provide for the training of Alaskan draftees in military posts in the Territory, with few excep- tions.
 About 40 from Here
 While no figures were given as to the number of draftees to be taken from the various cities, it is consid- cred probable locally that about three -fourths of the 200 will be drawn from the four largest cities Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau and Ketchikan. The other ne-quarter probably will be called from Cor dova, Valdez, Nome, Seward and other communities.
 There will probably be no regis tration or draft in Alaska until after January 1,' Delegate Dimond de- clares. Tn providing for registra- tion in the states, the President expressly states that registration and draft in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico would be provided for later.
 The plan is to have the registra- ton conducted at the voting pre- cints or at other convenient places so that all may register without diff ficulty, but it is probable that the entire operation will be under the supervision of the Governor and the plan will follow the registration and draft of the World War, which worked out we'll
 The present plan contemplates the call of approximately 200 mer in Alaska in the first draft and fol ,4ien training at military posts in the Territory, with few exceptions.

DELCO, July 14.-Since our col.
umn last week we have visited
plantations in only three counties,
Columbus, Bladen and Horny. Over
IN the sandy area around Board
man crops are suffering in many
OF the upland fields because there
has been insufficient rain. Nearly
all the sandy cornfields looked
stunned, but the corn growing in
lower fields looked fine.
A few days ago we we're talking
with Mayo Lennon, one of the lead
ing farmers of the Boardman rural
section, and he said that an abund-
ance Of rain was needed on his
and nearby surrounding crops.
Since then there have been heavy
showers in that section and many
OF the plants that had taken on a
wilted appearance seemed re-
vived.
The Boardman and Evergreen
communities usually have early
crops of ripe watermelons; but
this year eastern Columbus led
that section with earlier ripe mel.

many bitterly opposed to tobacco
control for a three-year period. But
we have also heard many more
speak in favor of it.
H. F. Holloman, of the Hallsboro
section, told us last Thursday that
he had attended a meeting in which
a lecture had been given regarding
the benefits of a three year tobacco
control, and he said that, consider.
ing the number of growers Of the
community, the attendance to the
meeting was far below par.
In our opinion, however, there
will be pretty nearly a hundred
per cent of the. growers who are
going to vote, either for, or against
control. W. make this statement
because nearly every tobacco
grower we have encountered in the
past few weeks has, in course of
the conversation, brought up the
tobacco subject and spoken avidly
either for or against control. Bar
