WOULD EXEMPT
farm WORKERS
FROM WAR DUTY
Delegation from Nassau and
Suffolk Counties to
Petition Hoover.

Declaring that unless a total exemp-
tion Of farm labor from the draft IL
made the agricultural production
during the next year will be curtailed
to an alarming extent. delegates from
Nassau and Suffolk Farm Bureau AS
sociations arrived in Washington last
night, prepared to seek official relief.
The delegation Is scheduled to meet
Herbert Hoover. the Food Admins
traitor. this morning at II o'clock and
Provost Marshal Crowder in the aft
ernoon at 2 O'Clock.
According to the delegates. the
situation on Long Island is par
ticularly acute. Ellwood V, Titus,
president of the Nassau association.
in an interview last night said:
THE farmers Of the country were
assured last spring that farm labor
would be expected and upon this as
surance they increased planting fully
20 per cent. But now it will be i'm
possible to harvest a reasonable pro-
duction because of the shortage of
labor.
Production Increased.
During 1916 one. county in New
York on S19 farms planted s,5S1 acres
OF potatoes. In 1917, 737 farmers
planted II .139 acres of potatoes. These
figures show to what extent the
production has been increased to meet
war needs.
Help on the farms was at low
figure even before the draft, as 247
Iaborers left the farms in one coun-
ty during 1877. This figure represents
those who left the farms voluntarily
and doesn't include those who have
been called to the colors.
The situation IS a desperate one. &"
concluded Mr.. Titus, land unless We
are assured some measure of relief
at our conferences here. the farmers
will be forced to eurtail their pro-
ductions heavily during the coming
year.

pONrT sAY:

Dr. slosson. a Columbia university
history professor. submits a little set OF
"don'ts" worth needing in war discus
sions. Here are some OF them:
Don't say Ny country, right or
wrong" We aren't wrong.
Don't call every pro-aily "pro-British."
Great Britain is only one Of a dozen
or 80 Of the allies.
Don't say that both sides think they
are fighting a defensive war. man
may honestly think that two and six
are eleven. but that doesn't make them
10.
Don't call universal training '.Prus'
sian milltarism." II Is no more Prus-
sian than II Is swis7 French. British,
Argentine. japanese or Australian.
Don't say that we owe aid 10 France
on account OF Lafayette. We didn't
help France in 1870, and We were right
not 10 do 30. We only aid one nation
when Il is fighting las at present. In
a righteous quarrel.
Don't say. 1T doesn't make any dii
ference 20 the wOrkingman what coun
try governs him" On the contrary
Il makes more difference 20 him thar
10 anyone else. because the rich mar
can spend his time in travel or buy
his way into the privileged class II h'
finds political conditions oppressive.
Don't say that "Wall street" OF
British gold" or the "Northclin'
press" made this war. You don't have
