Draft Rating Sore Point.
Like the former civilian status OF
the specialists, the fact that he was
still eligible to be drafted, was an
other sore. complaint within the
corps, as we'll as with the War De-
partment.
: For an example, it was pointed
out, specialist might be on active
duty ; in Libya and receive sum-
mons from his draft board. Being
a civilian, he would have to respond.
That is only one of many problems
created by his former civilian status.

General Davis and Army authorities
Although members of uniformed
service, they were actually civilians
and therefore were not subject to the
rules of international war governing
the status of military prisoners. The
uniform, itself, gave him a semi
military status which apparently
took away his rights as civilian

1000 Offered Services.
After the Specialists Corps was set
up last February. more than 800, ,000
business, professional men and tech
nicians rushed to register with it
for possible service of non-com-
batant nature.
The need for such a corps was
keenly appreciated by the high COM
mand, since the specialist appointees
would release for active duty many
Army officers who were performing
office and administrative duties that
could just as well be filled by
civilians.

of specialists called to active duty
either in an officer or non-commis-
stoned capacity, the number has
been considerable 1t has been dis
appointingly small as compared to
the need, however, for two reasons
which were pointed out by spokes-
men yesterday.
Civilian Status Problem
In the first place, there was a
lack of specialist registrants of the
skilled nature required by the Army.
Secondly, their civilian status cre-
ated an unsatisfactory situation.
With respect to the latter, the
War Department said: AFTER a
period of testing officer procurement

for the Army a number of specially

ATTENTION BEET GROWERS

The difficulty experienced during the 1912 season.
caused by shortage OF beet labor. should convince every
beet grower of the need Of planning his operations for
the minimum hand labor.
IN this connection, we recommend the planting of
sheded beet seed. Ordinary beet seed contains q num-
Der OF seed germs and is capable OF producing several
plants. -Sheored seed hos been mechanically split, so
that most OF the seed have only one germ md, conse-
quenty produce single plants.
In order to plant sheored seed, drills must be e-
pecioly equipped. The latest type drills with con seed
containers ore especially well adapted to planting the
sheaed beet seed, but special feed plates must be pur-
chased" Some Of the older type drills can also be
changed over for planting sheued seed by slowing
down the feed.
We commend that you order the necessary parts
und plon to plant at least part Of your beet acreage
with shedred seed.
The planting Of sheored beet seed will save hand
labor. The thinning CON be done with long handled hoes
or by cross-blocking without hand labor, where stonds
ore good. Experiments have indicated labor sovings as
high as seventy five per cent as compared with the old
method.
