International News Service;
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The
farmers of the United States have a
spring drive for greater representa-
ton under way Their attentions are
directed today TO the senate agricul-
ture committee.
Demands are being placed before
this committee that greater repre-
sentation shall be given the farmers
in the war government that is being
set up in washington. They have
asked for representation in the food
administration on the grounds that
they are producers of the cOmmodi-
ties which the food administration
controls. They contend that lawyers
and school masters have been plac-
ed at the heads of departments Of
the food administration which have
10 deal with farmers products and
as a consequence the farmer is be
coming out of sympathy with the
food administration. They ask that
they be allowed representatives who
may sit in the high councils and give
the food administration the benefit
Of the viewpoint Of the man on the
farm.
Ask Labor Representation.
In labor circles the farmers are
also asking representation. They
both declared that federal law
boards have heretofore undertaken
10 furnish labor for the farms with
out much regard for the character
OF labor needed. As a result Of this
policy, the farmers representatives
here declare there has been a great
deal of inefficiency on the farms be
cause men have been sent to the
fields who had no knowledge Of
their work. Already they have made
their force felt in military circles
and have impressed the officers Of
the provost marshal general that
greater care must be taken in the
next draft to leave farm laborers
undisturbed
Widespread Campaign.
This movement for power is be-
ing carried on in every corner Of the
town by the farmer delegates. The
senate agriculture committee will be
asked 10 introduce legislation which
will give farmer representation IN
all governmental bodies which are
created for the period Of the wa.
sen. Gore and other mem bers of the
committee have voiced a desire that
farmers be given every opportunity
to representation and it seems like
~ now that legislation TO this end
viii be met favorably.
