AH persons within the age limits + prescribed will be required to pre- t aent themselves for registration at the customary voting places in the Toting precincts in which they have their permanent homes, on a day which the president will announce. .

Washington, D. C., May 7.?Seed ) plant an acre of Irish potatoes )st about $40 this spring. Seed veet potatoes will not cost more lan $4 per acre where vine cuttings iken from early-set plants are used, he yield of sweet potatoes per acre usually greater than that of Irish Dtatoes and as a food they are as utritious. Sweet potatoes may be S. rown throughout the Southern tates and, of course, in certain ;her sections. Specialists in the ^ . S. Department of Agriculture are rging an increased acreage of this op wherever it can be easily grown Sweet potatoes, it is pointed out, e the South's chief instrument for quick and effective increase of the b< >od supply. Seed is plentiful; last jar's crop was the second largest b( /er-produced. By means of vine pi lttings it is possible to plant al- M o?t unlimited areas of this crop 01 nd at the same time conserve the tl resent supply. That is, a farmer ai ho wishes to plant 10 acres will di ?d seed enough?say 8 to 10 bush- hi s?to get slips for one acre. Vine oi '.ttings from this acre would plant lany more acres, plantings being oi Dssible until the first of August in le lower South. This system, nov/ t\ idely used in the South, enables is le utilization of land from which ai is'ly potatoes, cabbage, and other uck crops have been taken. hi Sweet potatoes are not expensive w ? grow. The main limiting factor ^ the production of vast quantities p< y this plan is labor. Yields from e( elds set with vine cuttings are as ai ,rg6 as from plants grown from in ips. This method has the further ivantage of preventing tne trans- it ir of diseases which are carried on in le tubers. ? 4 ifl ' "My Boy-it isn't so much what you sai the deal-? i It's the way you looked! 99 You men who are staying planning how to forge ahea minutes tomorrow in our sto] fore our mirror and see for added punch a Michaels-Sfc give your best "selling argu i Spring styles?many model* / * at $15 to $35.
