State BOARD
DENIES MANY
EXEMPTIONS
About Ten Per Cent Of De-
mands on Agricultural
Grounds Allowed.
Most Cases, They Are
Farmers With De
pendents.

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 2s.-Exemp-
tions Of registrants who claimed dis
charge from the draft as agricultural
workers are running between eight
ana ten per cent of the total num-
Der of applications in North Dakota.
The percentage.is far lower than had
generally been anticipated. It will
mea that a very small proportion of
all workers who have appealed tot the
district board for discharge san be
Accommodated. In the majority Of In
stances here agricultural workers
have been exempted by the district
board, they not only were bona fide
farmers, owners Or renters Of farms
which they actively operated. but they
also have dependents who entitled
them to consideration.
Only two counties have been con
sidered to date. The board only began
yesterday wading into the mountain
OF claims which confronts 1t. Adams
county has comparatively few claims
for exemption on agricultural grounds
and was quickly disposed Of. The
number Of claims from Mclean coun-
ty, the second considered, was rather
large, but the board had run through
the list by noon today and took UP
the third county this afternoon.
