Nation-wide reports to the United Press show that so prompt and hear ty has been America's answer to the President's first call to the colors and the draft that If registration began tmiav instead of three days from now the work would go through without a serious hitch.

Washington, June 2 The War Department has ordered into active service nine regiments of engineers corps to go to France to work, on lines of communication. The regiments will probably be mobilized for train ing before sailing. Four of the nine regiments are already filled to war strength. Ill FIICE '.BID FIR ST SUOVJ FLIES fTVE DIVISIONS OF NATIONAL GUARDSMEN WILL BE IN EU ROPE BY WINTER IF PLANS OF GENERAL STAFF GO THROUGH (By United Press) Washington, June 2. Five divi sions of national guardsmen, or about 125,000 men, will be in Europe by the time snow flies if the plans con sidered by the general Army Staff are adopted. A decision as to their adoption is expected soon. The abandonment of half of the proposed cantonments for training is explained on the ground that the fltatf is understood to favor, in spite of the difficulties of transporting a large number of troops before No vember, brief periods of training In .'American camps and intensive train. Ing at Cantonments already establish ed in Britlan and France. The Government market news bu reau, established her a year ago to serve the potato growers of the State by furnishing them definite telegra phic information of the prices and of the movement of potatoes toward the various markets throughout the coun try was re-opened on May S 1st in the offices of the County Agricultural Agent in the Kramer building and Is now Issuing the report daily at two thirty every afternoon. "It la the intention of thla office," aid Mr. JtUhiri Smith of th Federal Department f Agriculture to re to furnish hla report to every pota to grower in the state, who wants It. The bureau -this year will be In charge' of Mr W M Orr of the Divi sion of markets of 'the State Depart ment of Agriculture. The State and Federal Governments are co-operat- ine to give the potato growers this service and Mr Julian Smith is here temporarily to get the work on an efficient basis. "The dally report is sent out by mail every afternoon at two-thirty," says Mr. Smith, "but those who desire , quicker service can arrange for tele graphic or telephonic messages from this office to be sent charges collect. We will be glad to have potato grow ers call at any time at room 209 in the Kramer building and obtain any additional Information they may re quire." Co-operating with this market news bureau, farmers of any section may get together and organize to secure a uniform grade and pack which. Judging from the experience of the Carolina Potato Exchange, will be well worth their while. The news bureau wa established tor the first time last year and the potato growers of this section, at the end of the season, had a great deal to say of the value that the bureau had been to them In marketing their crop. If growers this year will organize and co-operate in moving their potatoes and in packing and grading them, the reports may be the more intelligently acted upon and a maximum of bene fit to the grower will be the result.

"I am encourage to fljpd that In addition to tomatoes, beans, onions The first' grade is marked "Carolina," the second beat 'Currituck,' and the third "Field Run." previous, to the organization of the Carolina Potato Exchange the potato digging season In North Carolina was unduly short because the trade pre ferred graded stock from Virginia as soon as it came on the market, rather than the ungraded stock from North Carolina. With the uniform pack the Exchange finds that its agents in the northern markets can hold up the prices and the digging period is pro longed and prices are made better throughout the season. Mr. Smith fig ures that attention to the grade, and pack will net the farmers a gain of 160 per hundred barrels. this did not succeed as well as was expected.
