Washington. May 1.-THE necessity
for the president indicating to what
extent exemptions of farm hands and
agrlculturistS are to be made under
the seective draft system Of raising
an army was called to attention of the
house by Congressman Towner, in dis
cussing the seizure of ships bill, this
would be a great boon to the farmers
of Iowa and other states where agrl-
culture ranks as the chief industry tor
the president to quickly determine how
far the exemption clause OF the law Is
to affect tillers OF the soil He Salo
that "a member OF the Iowa legisla-
ture, who is a large farmer. and whose
words are entitled TO special considera-
ton" had written him about the APP
plication of the draft urging that the
president make his exemptions known
without delay to those in pursuit OF
agriculture" in order that preparations
for harvesting the years crop might be
fully made.
Judge Towner explained that he de-
sired not to be interpreted as critical
OF the president, asserting that we
are all equally interested In DOING
everything we can do and In assisting
in doing everything that should be done
to carry on successfully this war
Our state is almost exclusively an
agricultural state. We will have to
furnish our quota for the army accord
ing TO the population OF the state. IN
less there are exemptions made from
the AGRICULTURAL classes it will take al
most our entire quota or a large por-
ton of it. from the farmers Of the state
of Iowa. Now. if there are exemptions
to be made in favor of the farmers
in order that the crops may be largely
Increased and preserved. then what
ever is done should be done as quickly
as possible"
Always a Shortage.
Congressman Towner declared that
there always is a shortage in farm Ia
Dor in Iowa There is hardly tows
in the state" ne said. where there is
commercial association in existence
where they are not taking steps to Sc
cure, II possible, Lax III Heip, 4HeE al
sending broadcast for farm laborers-
They are promising transportation to
Iowa and back to their homes for all
who viii come to help out
It was pointed out by Mr.. Towner
that not more than half OF the corn
ground of Iowa was broken UP and that
none of it was finished for planting as
! yet. He said the crop conditions were
far from favorable, tho everything was
being done that can be done TO pro-
cure one.
AT thin time he said, every one
who has an interest not only in the
prosecution OF the war across the seas,
but in looking after the welfare OF our
own people here in the United States
should carefully consider that we may
do everything that we can possibly do
10 insure as large a crop as possible
this year"
