Oljc fester field Advertiser 1 VOLUME 36?NO. 18 CHESTERFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1817 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE j Registrars Should L ** All Those Registe Washington, July 16.?With drawing of lots for the selective draft army awaiting only completion of ex- < emption machinery in a few scattered i section of the country, officials hero < are anxious that registrants take ev- >. ery opportunity between now and the s day of drawing to inform themselves thoroughly regarding exemption regu- ] Kk- lations so us to reduce to a minimum i j- the confusion to clear up after designations arc made. t To this end attention was directed 1 today to various sections of the regu- i lations over which questions have i arisen, and it was suggested that the i local boards and the press cooperate t during the week or so remaining be- t Pfore lots are drawn to insure that the < registered men know just how to perform their part in the great task. s So that easier access may be had to i the lists of registration number in c the hands of local boards, Provost c f, Marshal General Crowder telegraphed e K .. the governors of all States asking that : ^ instead of posting the lists at the < IMk* board offices, they be placed "in some 1 safe, central place." 1 Only 11 States tonight had not re- i ported their organizations complete, i and in many of these only a few dig- t trict boards had not finished number* ing registration cards. When the Hp* governors of the missing States tele- 5 HP^* graph that all the boards in their ju- < r risdiction have filed their lists, the 1 drawing date will be set. Officials ? think it will not be earlier than Sat- 1 turday. X Coei To Higher Board*. V Officials here are anxious that local t boards make it clear everywhere that f I no Question of exemntion of nnv ret'- I t istered man or any other cause than i physical disability or dependent rela- s tives can be taken up before the local >i boards. The whole matter of indus- i trial exemptions is left to the super- 1 L ior boards. s No individual case where exemption < is desired because the registrant is c engaged in any industry classified as t vital to the conduct of war will be ti taken up until that individual has k been called up for examination by his local board, found to be without de- i pendents and physically tit for mili- t ta?y duty, and certified to the super- t ior board. After that application to t the superior board for exemption on i other grounds will be admissible. The f registrant or his employer may file 1 necessary affidavits with the superior i |board seeking exemption and the ease <1 will be heard promptly. i Another point on which there has ; been much doubt is the status of re- r . iriutrn nf u fiKe^nt f /??? 4 u : ? ??? r?v.uw.ivnt iivfiu tiic-ii ru^isiru- li tion districts. Scores of requests I; have come from men in this situation < asking if they will have to return to <1 their home towns for examination. They have been informed that if they i ? are selected for examination, each will s ^ be notified by mail by his local hoard * and then can apply to the local board cl ft. for permission to undergo examina tion in the town where he is located, r Such action can not be taken, how- 1 ever, until the registrant has actually ( * been summoned by his local board. i Given Complete Blank*. i The government has distributed to t all local boards complete sets of i blanks to cover all appeals, transfers li and any other matters in connection i with the process.

Davis Market Will pay highest maaket price Li f?r Hides. I ' earn Their Part; red Will Be Drawn boards but every effort has been made to prevent the filing of affidavits or other documents that do not apply to a case actually under consideration. Otherwise the boards should be swamped with efforts to pet a decision in advance. I'robably the point in the whole process which has led to the greatest .^understanding and confusion is the system by which industrial exemp.ion is to ho crnntoft lave regarded it as certain that men n munition making or other strictly A-ar industries would be exempted as i class. That is not a fact. What is o govern the process is the inipornce of the individual in such an inlustry. To make this policy effective, the uperior and not the local boards were issigned the task of saying whether >r not a man should be retained at his lesk or bench. The bulk of exemptions will be for physical unfitness ind on account of dependents, and consideration of these causes will ceep the local boards fully occupied, eaving to the more deliberate superor boards the entire handling of the nuch more vexing question of indusrial exemption. The Method of Drawing A novel yet simple method for the (election has been arrived at by deeding to draw only one set of num)ors for each of theh 4,550 separate ixemption districts in the United states, the number drawn each time o apply to every exemption district vhcre the drawn number is held. For example there are 2,383 persons registered in Chesterfield County. If he first number drawn should be, for nstance, No. 100, whoever held the crial number 100 in Chesterfield iiul every other county in the United States would he drawn; if the serial lumber 2,500 should be drawn the ame would not apply to Chesterfield bounty but would apply to every rounty or exemption district where here were as many as 2,500 men reristered. All Will Be Drawn. It is now stated that every man egistered will be drawn, the drawing o decide solely the order in which he registered men will be called ?o he colors. Chesterfield County's tuota for the first increment of men or the new National army will be 165, therefore, the first one hundred ind sixty-five men drawn will be orlered up for first examination; just is fast as any of these one hundred md sixty-five are exempted for any eason, like physical disability or on tecount of dependents, No. 166 will ie called up, and so on, as fast as any?ne is exempted the next number Irawn will be called. The first man drawn will be known is No. 1, serial numbt>r, say 100, the econd man drawn will be No. 2. seri il number, say, 1,500; the third man Irawn will he No. 3, serial number, ay, 2,000, and so on. Under the new emulations every registered man will >e drawn by his serial number, the Irawinm is solely to decide the order n which one is to be called. If one s way down the list in the order of he drawing, say he is No. 2222, serial lumber anything, then that person mows that it will be a long time, a ouple of years, perhaps, before he is ailed? and we all hope the war will >e over lonm before then. TREE SURGEON LIKE DENTIST The treatment of cavaties in trees, aused by decay, is not fundamentally lillVrent from that of denistry, houmh the tree surgeon is not so nueh "down in the mouth" as the lentist. All decaying matter must be leaned out, rimht down to solid livinm issue. The cavity is then treated vith an antiseptic to prevent further lecay and the whole (likewise the lole) filled with concrete and in such nanncr US to e*elmlo uir ..?> lossible. The tree then begins to leal over the edges Gf the wound to Lhe concrete. Sometimes metal has been used for covering eavaties and with good results. Elastic cement, asphalt and sawdust, parfTin and sawdust, wood pulp and cement, excelsior and asphalt, tar with sawdust or oakum, I wooden blocks, hrihks, stones and a grout variety of materials have beer, used for both filling and covering and all are good if the work is well done. The disinfectants used are copper sulphate, corrosive sublimate, formalin, bordeaux, carbolineum or creosote (these are best), coal tar and even kerosene. No matter which is used, the cavity should should receive more than one treatment before being tilled or otherwise closed. DISCHARGE NOTICE On 30th July next at 10 oclock A.

THE FALL FOOD ACRE I To Farmers, Banker and Business Men in the South: The splendid response of the Southern farmers to the appeals made for I increased food production during the war has been a source of great satisfaction to the leaders of the food campaign and to the country in gen- j oral. Much encouragement and fin- | ancial aid has been trivon hv hnsinoss men, bankers and railroad men throughout this section. In order to keep up the interest and utilize every possible opportunity to assist and offer helpful suggestions along. I am writing this letter to all the people in the Southern territory, 1 urging the importance of planting a j Tall food acre for every farm. With ! the longer growing season in this territory, valuable food crops may be j dan ted during July and August which ' will mature in the fall and early win- : ter. At least one acre of good soil I land can be found on every farm up- j >n which to grow these crops. If the ! soil is properly prepared and care is ' xercised in selecting the crops, much valuable feedstuff for the home ind the livestock can be made at comparatively little expense. The object of the fall food acre is to provide i food for the family and feed for the live stock during the fall and early winter without using from spring planted crops or using from the stock preserved during the summer for winter use. The average farm family . should plant for a full family supply ?.,f .w.t 1 .iu>. ??<i niaiKct. v^iuy sum crops diould be planted as may be harvestid and utilized without extra expense for canning, preserving, etc. The following suggestions for the territory below the southern boundary of Tennessee are offered. These my be modified to suit local conditions or personal preferences: String Beans, Aug. 1st to Sept 1st. Peas,Aug. 1st to Sept. 1st Beets, July and August. Carrots, August and September. Cabbage, Bed July & Aug. Set Sept. Onions, September and October. Potatoes (Irish),July and August. Spinach, September and October. Kale, August and September. Collards, Bed July & Aug. Set Sept. Southern seed houses are being asked to put up packages of selected seed for the fall food acre. These packages will be small in bulk and can be sold at moderate prices. Bankers and business men can perform a service of real value to their communities and to their country by ordering fall food acre seed packages in quantities and listributing them to the farmers in their communities at cost. Where arrangements can not be made to secure these packages already put up, the farmers themselves can order the seed from the plan suggested above. I hope that every County Agent ind everv business mnn t the Southern country will get interested in this plan at once and demonstrate to the people how much can be done to relieve the food situation >n the farm on one acre of ground. Your very truly, Bradford Knapp, Chief. TOMATO WILT Clemson College, S. C., July ?. If the leaves at the top of the tomato plants, or at the ends of the branches begin to wilt, without being discolored or spotted, and this wilt gradually works hack until the entire plant is affected. Tomato Wilt is in the patch. This disease is caused by a bacterium which gets into the tissues >f the plants and plugs up the \vaer carrying vessels to such an extent that the circulation is cut ofT, hus causing the plant to wilt. The bacterium which causes the lisease cannot be destroyed by sprayng, so pull up and burn as soon as hey become affected. If these nl.-mts ire not destroyed, the disease will spread, and the whole patch will he ruined. Wilt is easily carries! from one plant to another hy biting and suckinn: insects, and as they are probably Lhe main carriers of the disease, the method of control aims at their destruction. The fewer insects of this kind in the field, the less will be the iittack of the disease. The plants are sprayed with a mixture of one-halt pound of paste, or one-fourth of pew tiered arsenate of lead to 12 gallons i>f bordeaux mixture. There is no danger in using this mixture on tomatoes. It is strong enough to kill the bugs, but a man would have to eat a bushel of tomatoes at one time to have any bail effect from the poison. As the germ lives from one year to another in soil, tomatoes should not l>e planted on ground that has been infected. CARD OF THANKS Ruby, S. C., July 1C, 1017.

APPROPRIATION IS FOR $640,000,000 Washington, July 14.?Following one of the most dramatic scenes in the chamber since the war began, the house today passed the great aircraft production bill, appropriating $640,000,000 to make America king of the winds. Hardly had the measure been brought up for discussion when shouts of "vote?vote" burst forth from all quarters. For the first time since President Wilson's fateful announcement that a state of war existed with Germany the house seemed moved by a belligerent spirit. A limited debate ! rule was adopted, but there was practically no debate on the bill. . Isolated efforts to prolong discus- ( sion were met with demands to "trust . the government.' , A sharp fight developed over that , section empowering the president to | draft men into the air service. Some members declared men forced to flywould not make good aviators and these were told that voluteer applications for the service already ineluded more than twice the numbers of flyers needed. | Efforts to strip the war department , of some of the arbitrary powers dele- ] gated by the bill were promptly de- . feated. Members were assured they . could obtain from Chairman Dent of ( the military committee all information on how both powers and money appropriated were to be used. , NO JAPANESE TROOPS ARE GOING TO RUSSIA Tokio, June 20 (Ry Maill).?Answering a question at a meeting of the ; diet, Viscount Motono characterized as untrue the report that Japan intended to dispatch troops to Russia. He declared that the rumor was a pure invention and that the government had received no such proposal or request from any of the allies. , Admiral Kato, navy minister, replying to another question, said the dispatch of the Japanese squadron to the Mediterranean had been decided on partly owing to the necessity of protecting the Japanese steamers, of which there are about <10 plying there at present, and partly owing to the request of the British government. j Owing to Japan's increased par- i tieipation in the naval war against : Germany, the navy department will ; ask a credit of $<?,000,out) for the im- | s.c ..... i - - vwfiouutiiwii ?;i ni.\ ursirny- I* ers.

CANTELOUPES AT PAGELAND I Some of the farmers aroiir: I Page- \ land this year went into the business I of growing eanteloupes an I water I melons for shipment. They w. .,i in- i to it in a businesslike way, by forming an organization i<> marl .et and t arranging a packing house at l'a ?? land. Those interested planted a t>> tal of about three hundcii acre aa trial. The acreage '.s mos'.'y in < no and two acre plots and only one mat ' has so many as five acres. Ah > it se\ enty-tive men are inteivs .nl. .Mr. A. v I''. Funderburk is presi-.Yn: m d .Mr. Curtis Parker seere'ary of ill Mel >n Association. Ten cars have so f,.r been shipped. They are shipped in refrigerator ears just like the older i sections handle their prodi.i'-. Tlv section around Pngelaml is admirably adapted to melons. For years "Si utii | Carolina watermelons" have been sob; on the local markets and have always been anions the best to be had. This movement amplest ionably means ^ great deal for that section. It is tin first effort to break away fr<>ni the one idea of cotton. When it shall have been developed and followed by the cultivation of tobacco, the folks to the south of us will wallow in money. Melons and tobacco tit admirably 1 with cotton. They are quick money crops and where labor is rea nimbly plentiful lake little otf the cotton ' acreage. Several years apo a larpe ' canteloupe grower came to this coun- ' try prospecting. He found certain sections, larpely around Wexhaw, ideally adapted to canteloupi>s, but ' for some reason did not pet the people interested and the man moved on. All that is necessary in introducing a new crop is to po tit it like the I'apeland people have started, (iet cnouph farmers in a locality to start together and perfect the market arrangements > before the crop is prown. Mr. Kunderburk is haulinp melons to .Monroe for local trade and states that he will be here every day with a load durinp the season. lie has a ' trailer to fasten behind his cur, and comes with a hip load in a jdfy.?
