THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1941 PAGE TWO Director Of Selective Service Cautions July 1st Registrants Place Of Residence Must Draft Board R Definite: No Future Reports Progress Transfer Of Cards Men who will register on July 1, 1941, were cautioned today by General J. Van B. Metts, state director of selective service, to be careful to give to the registrar who registers them correct information as to the place of their perma nent residence. The name of the township, county and state must be stated specifically and must be placed on line 2 of the registra tion card. It is most important that men registering be careful to give the correct location of their residence because the place of reg istration card will determine the local board which will .have jcris dietkm over them, General Metts emphasized. On the first registration day many registrants gave confusing information, and this resulted in their registration cards often be ing assigned to the wrong local board. This resulted in many com plications and Selective Service agencies were subjected to unreas onable worry and trouble transfer ring cards. The new Selective Serv ice Regulations, prepared for the July 1, 1941, registration, provide that there will be no future trans fer carts. The place of residence of the registrants, which will ap pear on line 2 of the registration card, will once and for all deter mine the local board which has control over the registrant, j ' A place is provided on the new registration card for the registrants to indicate the place of residence and the mailing address. Tht mail ing address is not so important as the residence address, because the mailing address may be changed as often as the registrant estab lishes a new address. But the place of residence, to be indicated on line 2 of the registration card, will never be changed, and the original card will be assigned to the local board having jurisdiction over the area of the residence ad dress. The new Regulation: provide that the registrant shall be permitted to determine what place he de sires to give as his residence when he does no reside in one place all the time, but once that election is made and is stated on registra tion day and is recorded on the registration card, it may never be changed thereafter. Every man in the State of North Carolina who has attained the 21st anniversary of the day of his birth since October 16, 1940 (with few exceptions noted below), must reg ister with his local Selective Serv ice board on July 1, State Direc tor J. Van B. Metts .stated today. Men required to register in this second registration are those who were born on or between October 17, 1919, and July 1, 1920. Aliens, as well as American citi zens, who become 21 years of age before midnight July 1, 1941, must register, Director Metts emphas ized. He also pointed out that aliens between the ages of 21 and 36 years, who have come to the United States since the first regis tration on October 16, 1940 and have not yet registered, must reg ister on July 1. Special arrangements will be made by local board to register men who canndt appear before the local board because of illness or incapacity. Men subject to regis tration who are inmates of asy lums, jails,, penitentiaries, or other similar institutions on July 1 will be registered by the warden on the day they leave the institution: Men subject to registration on July 1 who are away from home and cannot, except at great ex pense ana inconvenience, return Expressing pride in the smooth working of the State selective system, General J. Van B. Metts, state director, today issued a -tatement showing the results ac complished through April 30.

AAA, TVA Committees Make Farm Suggestions By S. W MENDENHALL L'pon the advice of AAA and TVA community and county com mittee, the following suggestions are being offered for consideration of Macon farmers. It is felt that some of these suggestions can be put into practice an our farms and will help relieve a shortage of feed and food that has been caused by the dry weather. Hay that was to have been sup plied by oats, grasses, lespedeza, and clovers will be considerably short. To help make up this short age, . soybeans, cane, millet, Sudan grass or corn may be seeded and cut for hay. After any of these crops are cut for ' hay the land should be seeded immediately to some cover crop such as rye, crim son clover, vetch, ryegrass or Austrian winter peas. Besides be ing a cover crop and improving the land these crops should afford excellent winter grazing. Pastures are over grazed even when our seasons are good. Even though we may have rain from now on pastures can not come back to full strength. Therefore it will be necessary to seed some of the above mentioned cover crops for grazing in order to carry our cat tle through the winter and at the same time give the pastures a chance to build hack. You can secure rye grass, Aus trian winter peas, and vetch through the Agricultural Conserva tion program as a grant .of aid the same as lime or phosphate. Crimson clover that could not be turned should be cut and threshed or combined. Chances are be that crimson clover seed wi much higher this fall at seeding time. This land can still be planted to corn, beans or July potatoes. Irish potato land can be planted in beans. The tendergreen is prob ably one of the best market va rieties. This land can also be planted to corn for late roasting ears or for silage. With a pos sibility of a shortage on potatoes, it would seem advisable to plant July potatoes. If you still have oty. potatoes on hand you can plant them and with a good season, should make a fair yield. Gardens should be replanted. Beans, corn, cabbage, turnips, to matoes, mustard, spinach or kale, crowder or field peas, beets, lima beans, and Irish potatoes may still be planted. This year you will need a fall and winter garden more than ever before. Corn probably will be one of our best crops. Corn planted this month should still make silage. If we ever needed a silo it will be this year. If you have as many as six cows now is the time to plant some extra corn and dig a silo.
