Charles Writes Members Of Advisory Board The following letter has been sent by Mr. W. K. Charles, Chair man of McCormick County Ad visory Board, to its members: To Members Of \ The Advisory Board McCormick County: Mr. Dan A. Bell, President of Local Board No. 57, McCormick County, wired me as follows: “Registrants are reporting, with questionnaires and are unable to get anyone to assist them. Please advise what to do.” The only machinery set up by the (Government to assist regis trants in preparing their question- of the Allen registration will end on December 28 and all non-citizens who have not yet registered are naires 15 the Advisory Board, warned that severe penalties will, w kich you are a member, follow failure to comply with this 1 full y appreciate, as well as Federal law. ; the Government, that to assist in All aliens, 14 years of age and this work re d uires some sacrifice older, must register in person and ^ me ’ ^ s nothing to com- •be fingerprinted. P are wi th the sacrifice that the Alien children, under 14, must registrant may be required to be registered by their parents or m ake if he is called into the ser- guardians. Registration takes place at post offices. There is no charge of any kind connected with alien registration. The Department of Justice •warns aliens to beware of rack eteers. The Post Office Department and the Department of Justice will willingly assist the alien in every possible way. Earl G. Harrison, Director of Alien Registration of the Depart ment, suggests that those aliens who have not yet registered do so as soon as possible and avoid the Christmas rush at the post of fices. All aliens are also warned that, having registered, they are re quired to report any change in their permanent residence address within five days to the Immigra tion and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice in Washington. Forms for this pur pose are obtainable at all post offices. No alien need be unprepared for the questions he will be asked. Sample .registration forms which show him exactly what informa- tion he will need at registration are available in all post offices. Grow Green Feed To Get More Eggs To get the highest egg produc tion and hatchability McCormick county poultry producers need to grow green feed for their hens, says County Agent M. A. Bouk- night. Green feed, he explains, supplies vitamin A and vitamin B, both of which are necessary for high egg production and hatch- ability. Vitamin A is necessary also to prevent an eye trouble similar to roup. Besides its nutritional advant ages, green feed tends to keep the birds satisfied, probably helps to prevent feather pulling and can nibalism, and aids in combating diseases and parasites. Oats make a good winter grazing crop, the county agent points out. Seeded at the rate of five bushels per acre, oats will make a dense sod and will furnish grazing for a flock of hens much longer than when lighter seedings are made. Italian rye grass also makes an excellent winter grazing for hens. According to trials at the Mississ ippi Experiment Station, Italian rye grass afforded grazing for a given number of hens over a longer period of time than any other grass. It should be seeded at the rate of 40 pounds per acre, in the drill or broadcast, and covered about one-half inch deep. “If the yards used for hens to range are limited or if there is any question about not having ample green feed for the hens at all times, lespedeza meal or alfalfa | should be added to the mash”, | says Mr. Bouknight. “This can be added at the rate of 5 to 10; pounds per 100 pounds of mash,! and may be substituted for com meal or wheat middlings. It will not materially increase the cost of the mash and it will supply the feed factors which are normally supplied in green feed.” j SMART MONEY mows WHERE TO ,/i GO AFTER { READING THE ADS m IN THIS 0n,t " NEWSPAPER. vice, or because of his inability to make out his questionnaire, can not properly present his status. Every patriotic American citizen should gladly render assistance to his Government in times like these, and I am sure that you will do your part in helping these registrants with their question naires. The Local Board, the Ad visory Board, and a great many agencies that are now helping in our national defense are working without compensation or the hope of reward, but since we are Amer ican citizens we are doing this service gladly. I am, therefore, directing this letter to each member of the Board, asking if you will not make the sacrifice, if such is necessary, in, order to help the registrants. McCormick County has less than one thousand; we have around forty members of the Board. They are located in different sections of the County so as to make the work as light as possible. The questionnaires are not compli cated and it requires only a few minutes in which to fill them out. Certainly McCormick County will do its part in rendering this ser vice. If, however, you cannot serve on this Board, please notify me promptly and I will appoint someone in your place, but in the absence of such notice it is pre sumed that in view of the Oath and Waiver you have signed and which I have filed with the Gov ernment, that you will serve your country. Let us do this job glad ly and promptly. All counties throughout the United States are doing this work freely and gra- •ciously and I know that it’s only necessary to call the importance of it to your attention. If I can be of any service—and I might add I am filling out per sonally a large number of ques tionnaires—please do not hesitate to let me know. Yours very truly, W. K.
