| groups. Then Uncle Sam decided
ne was more interested in sendins
the younger men off to war and lei
down deferlnents for men between
the ages OF "a to 81.
A Regional conference took nlace
in February for local board clerks
where they were instructed in a
new form of filing and reportin,
system for use in the Veterans pro.
gram, which was beginning to grou
larger from that time on.
In March a bulletin was issued
calling for induction of every white
registrant under 30 years of age
who was available for induction
which indicated the armies were
getting ready for the final push into
Germany.
The induction call for April was
increased Is per cent with an issue
to use older men if necessary to
meet the quota, and at the same
time the Army lowered the physi-
cal requirements and all men clas-
sed in At were ordered for re-
examination. A large number Of
these men were indicted into the
Army as requirements in the Euro
pean theatre. At this period defer
ments under 80 years of age were
also checked. Men in this group
were ordered to be certified by
certified agencies.
AL! the changes being made at
that time effected the board be-
cause so much of the work had to
be done all over again.
Last summer, July, 1915, the
board re-arranged all files. Sepa-
rate. files and cover sheets were set
up for veterans, which was tine be-
ginning of a larger veterans pro-
gram of work in the local office. AT
the same time the board was in
structed to separate all men in "A
class which were men over 38 years
of age, and set up separate files.
The board now had three files
which included active, IA, end
veterans.
Just two weeks before the col
lapse of Japan, the state board au-
thorized the disposal of all records

SAMPLES OF SOIL
MOVE EXAMINED

| Following the curtailment Of
operations at the Soils Research
Laboratory on Masonboro Sound eff
|fective January /, County Agent
liz. W. Galphin yesterday called
attention to restrictions on the
movement of soil samples.
Many such samples were submit
ted by private individuals to that
laboratory for analytical and other
purposes.
It is anticipated that such ship
ments may be directed hereafter
to the Soil Testing Laboratory at
Raleigh.
In connection with this posi-
bility, public attention is directed
to current restrictions on the move
ment of soil in any form or quanl-
| ty from Wilmington and vicinity.
The restrictions in effect have
been devised for the purpose OF
preventing spread of the white
fringed beetle, serious insect pest
of food, oil and fiber crops.
Infestations of this pest exist in
parts of Wilmington, Winter Park,
Audubon, Princess Place, Wrights-
boro, Castle Hayne and nearby
lands in New Hanover County, as
well as in adjacent Fender County.
Guarantees promulgated by the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture restrict the move
ment from those regulated areas
Of soil, grass sod, nursery stock,
bulbs and certain other articles
that may carry the insect in any
stage of development.
All shipments of those articles
must be certified by an inspector
prior to movement to nonregulated
destinations.
Provisions have been made for
the authorized movement of soil
and other restricted articles upon
determination that no hazard OF
spreading infestations of the beetle
are involved.
Methods have been developed for
the satisfactory funigation or
sterilization OF soil from infested
sources. These treatments do not
lrender soils unsuitable for analy-
sis. Soil originating at other sources
within the regulated areas may be
certified upon compliance with GER.
tain conditions without fumiga-
Ition or other treatment.
