be an employer or some person in his
associated group. This last statement
means that some member Of the FAM
lily, his wife, father or mother may
ask a deferrrnent for their son or an
employer Of farm hand may request
a deferrment based on agricultural
needs.
The County Agent wishes to call at
tention to the necessity of submitting
all claims for deferrment at the time
the QUESTIONABLE is being filled. At
ter they have been presented to the
District Board for their consideration
there is no chance to secure this de-
ferrment.
The United States Department of
Agriculture and the War Department
are both anxious that the farming in
terests be given all support possible.
1t is easily seen that with thousands
of Registrars it is almost impossible
to ascertain the facts for each indi-
vidual unless he expresses them him
self or someone makes a claim for
him. In cases where there are adults
on the farm who are incapable of
working, an affidavit from the physi-
clan should be secured to accompany
the QUESTIONABLE and such facts will
indicate the necessity Of this particu-
lar registrant remaining on the farm.

INITIALs ARE CONFUSING.

Many complaints from soldiers in
France are coming to relatives in the
United States because of the irregu-
larity with which they receive mail
from home. Possibly a large part Of
this difficulty is due to the American
people addressing soldiers mail "A.
e. F." Inasmuch as thehe are Austria
liam Expeditionary Forces in France,
no doubt much of the mail addressed
to American soldiers is sent to COM
panies of Australian troops. and con-
sequently is lost altogether. The
term American Expeditionary Forces"
should be spelled out in full, so as to
eliminate the possibility of confusing
the mail with that of the Australian
troops.

DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION FOR
FARMERS.
(By County Agent).

NJ y . =
The County Agent has just received
circular OF information from Wash
ington relative to deferred classifica-
ton for agriculture. The following
points are presented for the considers
ton Of farmers of Delaware county.
Deferrment may be granted in three
d groups of agricultural workers:
4. Necessary skilled farm labor in
necessary agriculture enterprises.
2. Necessary agricultural associate
lOr hired manager of necessary agri-
cultural enterprises.
8. Necessary sole managing, con-
trolling or directing head Of necessary
agricultural enterprises.
Necessary agricultural enterprise
is defined "as one which Is producing
an appreciable amount of agricultural
products over and above what is nee
essary for the maintenance OF those
living on the place" Necessary la
borer must be one that is actively
and completely engaged in agriculture
al enterprises and that the available
supply of persons competent to take
his place does not exist"
Skilled farm laborer is defined "as
one who has the strength, intelligence
and experience to perform acceptably
the ordinary farm operations OF the
district whether it be fields, ranches.
orchards or barns"
The District Board should give con-
sideration to the laborer's length of
service, study, training, experience
and as to the conditions which would

result from his removal.

result from his removal.
The regulations state that (any reg
istrant said to be engaged in neces-
sary agricultural enterprise and said
to be necessary to such enterprise in
any of the above mentioned groups,
places the registrant in deferred class
three). In case that the registrant
said to be engaged in necessary agri-
cultural enterprise and said to be nee
essary to such enterprise in the case
of sole managing and director OF the
enterprise he will be placed in class
Four.
Duty of Boards.
The District Board will do all they
possibly can on it's own initiative to
reach just decision of classifications
even where no claim is expressly
made. It is not easily possible and
perhaps not possible at all to do that
without some aid from the men filling
missionaries. As far as possible
they ought to have the facts by the
answers to the questions made to aid
them in determining whether or not
the registrant should be exempted.
The Boards will recommend and will
need all the aid they can be furnished
by the indication of claim made for de-
ferrment With this aid the process
will become simple and speedy and
their time and labor will not be vast
ed.
Ordinarily one who fills out ques-
tionnaire will himself indicate his
claim for deferrment but If in case he
fails to do SO another may make 1t
for him in industry, in agriculture or
other activity, This other person will

UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINS
TRATION BULLETIN.

The Food Administration has made
the following appeal to millers: Five
bushels Of wheat will provide bread
for soldier on the firing line for a
whole year. Five bushels Of wheat
will keep the life Of two adults or
three children in the refuge camps Of
Europe. It isn't matter of money
but Of actually saving human life. Be
careful with 1t, boys, and mill it to
the best Of your ability, it is human
life you are handling"
Government wheat price for this
year has been continued in effect for
the 1919 crop by President Wilson in
proclamation fixing 1920 as the
minimum price at primary markets.
When wheat is stored on farms,
special care should be taken to clean
the granary thoroughly and avoid
mixing the new crop with the old
grain.
In the interest Of food cOnserva-
ton, the blowing of freguards may
wisely be adopted by all farmers
whose property is near a railroad.
The Food Administration suggests
this additional means Of protection
especially for hay and grain stacks,
granaries and farm buildings in which
food or feed Is stored.
The wholesale cost OF sugar per 100
pounds on May was $500 in Can
ada, $12.59 in England, SIPS in
France, and $3.50 in Italy, as COM
pared with $3.50 in this country. The
average wholesale cost per 100 pounds
in the allied countries was $12.52A
If the United States had paid the same
price for sugar as that paid by the
allied countries our national sugar
bill would have been increased by
$429, 419, S64.50- The saving is due to

the American people may be trusted to
adopt their own attitude toward the
progress of the battle. knowing the
danger that lies in overoptimism, they
will probably steer sane course, even
though they become enthusiastic at
times. Warnings really are superf1uous,
according to that paper, in which one
reads
"The dangers inherent in overoptimism
are so obvious that it has hardly been neces-
sary for the American press to warn the
public against them, yet despite their very
palpabiity the great body of the press has
repeatedly cautioned the people not to give
way to the natural tendency to exaggerate
victories and minimize setbacks. This has

ing majority of the newspapers of the
