NEEDS OF FARMERS
CONCERN GOVERNOR
Philip Appeals to Draft Boards
Not to Call Boys From
Farms Until Oct. 3.
NEEDED TO HARVEST CROPS
Cooks and Those Who Have Had Some
Military Experience Are Wanted
First-Chance to Win Commits
sions by the First Men

Madison.-In & letter sent 10 the
draft boards Of Wisconsin. Governor
Philip calls attention to the days des-
ignated by the provost marshal gen
eral for the calling Of the first sec
tions of the new National army.
He particularly drew the attention
Of the boards to the fact that farm la
Dor should not be disturbed until Oc-
'ober 3 and that many commissions
could be won by the first men of the
new army TO be called to active sery-
ice.
In his letter the governor said:
The present plan for the movement
of the National army is as follows;
Five per cent will be moved begin
ming September 3.
Forty per cent win be moved begin
ming September 10.
Forty per cent will be moved begin
ming October 3.
Fifteen per cent viii be moved later
tdate not set).
'Diligent inquiry ought TO be made
by you among the persons certified to
the adjutant general for military serv-
ice and properly included within your
net quota to discover persons who are
anxious TO go in the first 5 per cent.
Cooks Are Needed.
The provost marshal general wishes
that you give preference in this group
to men with previous military expert
nd FftTs~ ok inf
out that large numbers Of drafted men
who are especially apt will be given
commissions, and men desiring these
commissions ought TO get into the serv-
ice as early as possible. This gives
them an opportunity.
81 am especially anxious al this time
regarding the agricultural labor situa-
ton. The military requirements of the
nation are now supreme. 1t is this ne
cessity of the situation that has re-
quired that some of the men engaged
in agricultural labor be drafted Dis
trict boards have done and are doing
everything in their power 10 disturb
the agricultural labor supply as little
as possible in the face of the impera-
tive national need.
THE present plan Of mobilization
makes possible an adjustment that will
permit the harvesting Of the present
crop with only the slightest interfer-
ence.
Local boards should, as far as pos
sible. include agricultural labor actual
ly engaged in the harvesting of the
present crop In the movement of Oc-
tober and the movement of the final
- per cent. Local boards win use
their discretion and best Judgment in
making these selections.
