EXEMP TIQN ASKED
FARMERS HOLD Pillow AS ESSEN
TIAL AS THE GUN.

Representatives of the various Ag-
ricultural organizations of the coun-
try, including Farmers Congress,
Grange, Dairy Union, Cooperative
Council, Rural Credit League, and
others, have united in a petition to
congress to have all farmers exempt
ed from military duty. Their plea
is that:
There is now not only a lack of
farm laborers, but of farmers as well,
so that thousands of acres remain un-
titled, and great numbers of farms
are not titled so as to yield up to their
maximum production.
This condition has been brought
about by our young people, as well
as older ones, leaving the farms for
more remunerative positions. This
has been especially true the last few
years. The success of this war will
depend as much on the men behind
the pillow as on the men behind the
guns. We are in duty bound not only
to feed our own people, but to feed
allowance for the food that may be
destroyed.
"The United States should learn
from the experience of Great Britain
with regard to the men on the farms.
If we fail to raise large crops this
year and next, the failure will be in
large measure due to the lack of COM
petent help. From all over the
country comes the story that the in
creased acreage of corn and potatoes
is intensifying the labor trouble, for
both of these crops must be tended
throughout the growing season. The
vigorous campaign which has been
waged to increase our crops necessar-
lily means increased labor-and this
cannot be supplied by men unskilled
in agricultural work"
