LONDON-Unless the folks
back in the States fully under
stand the story of the #. 0. -
the Army's Tables of Organiza.
tion-a lot of good and deserv-
ing soldiers who haven't been
promoted are going TO be badly
moderated and unjustly malign-
ed at home.
The T. o. contain the Army's
hard and- fast rules for promo
ton.
Every unit in the u. S. Army
has a table of organization. 1t
states specifically how many
men may hold commissioned
and non-commissioned ranks in
this unit. II also states specifl-
cally how high these ranks may
be.
Assume that the T. o. OF a
certain unit calls for seven en-
listed men in grades not to ex-
coed one technical sergeant, one
sergeant, one corporal, one first
class private, three privates
Assume that John Jones is one
of this outfit, he NEVER can be
promoted until one Of the non
commissioned officers leaves the
unit.
Stop and let that sink in. IN
less one OF the non-coms leaves
the unit, Private Jones NEVER
can be promoted-not If he has
been in the Army 10 years, not
il he has been in so major cam
paigns, not il he has won 100
medals.
The only exceptions 10 this
are that a soldier in any enlisted
grade is eligible for Officer Can
didate School; and in battle he is
eligible for battlefield appoint
ment TO lieutenant.
OVERSEAS PROMOTIONS
FEW
In practise, this comes To
mean that mans chances OF
promotion are better at home
than overseas. This is true be-
cause at home new units are fire.
quently formed. Any enlisted
man may be promoted 10 any
non-commissioned grade.
In our expanding Army, when
new unit is activated at home,
there will be places in the Table
OF Organization for noncommis-
stoned officers. IL Pvt. Jones is
transferred TO this new unit
when il is formed, he may be-
come master sergeant over
night.
Overseas, however, compare
lively few units are formed
Therefore, once Pvt. Jones
leaves the States, his chance OF
being transferred are less. Thus
his chances for promotion over
seas are smaller than they would
be at home.
What goes for enlisted men
goes for officers as far as the r.
o. are concerned, with one cx-
tremely important additional
qualification. No officer NAV
skip a grade. For instance. a
captin cannot become a lieuten-
ant-colonel without having serv.
ed as a major.

There are Americans camped
all over the British Empire-on

in New Zealand, Australia, New

American interest today is to

boastfully that sure, this coun-

BULLETIN ON
WEED CONTROL

Detailed Information on the
control of weeds is contained in
a new bulletin, Perennial Weeds
and Their Control, published by
the Montana EXtenSon service
and now available through
county extension agents.
Written by Ralph D. Mercer
extension agronomist, and H. E.
Morris, extension bOtaniSt, the
bulletin not only gives informa-
ton on control but it also con-
tainS pictures of the ten most
common perennial weeds in
Montana together with a deS-
cription of each weed and a
map showing its distribution.
The authors in their intro
duction point out that unless
more organized weed control
work is done in the state, the
cost of control in a few years
will be prohibitive. Meanwhile,
they warn, perennial weeds are
costing Montana farmers mill
ions of dollars annually and,
worse yet, are slowly choking
productive lanes out of pro-
ductiOn.
