Columbia, June II.
10 the Chairmen Of the County
Councils of Defense:
Some time ago the war department
iSSued orders to the exemption boards
not to induct farmers into the mill
tary service until further orders. The
very serious recent DEVELOPMENTS in
lhe military situation has made it
necessary to suspend this order am
advised by Mr.. Bright Williamson.
chairman OF the Darlington county
exemption board, that out Of the quota
or 81 whites just ordered from this
county there are only s available who
are not farmers. FOrty-si:i young
white farmers will, therefore, have u
cave their farms at once for the scr
ice Of tn cir country
The government well understands;
the hardship which this will mean t.
many Of these men, bat the military
ncco ssitics are so great that nothing
a!sc can now be taken into consider
tiOn. The people at homo, however
ought to see to it that the crops of ii.
drafted farmers all over the State are
not destroyed for lack of work. The
patriotic citizens living in the neigh
1oIhOcd of any farm whose manager
or chief laborer is taken, should see
that labor is provided to work tn
crop.
The Council of Defense for each
county should make it their business
to attend to this matter The atten-
ZION Of the people should be called to
the vital necessity of seeing that these
young men DO not lose their crops
by responding to the call Of the gov.
ernment. The patriotic ncighbOrs and
friends Of these men can and will as
Semble periodically to work thes,
crops if they understand the ncccssi-
ties Of each case. and your Council
Defense can do no more valuable ser
vice 1T the moment than 10 see tha
his is done. I suggest that you ap-
point Il neighboring farmer to repre-
sent the interests OF each drafted
farmer
! would call attention TO the fac;
that several thousand college and high
school students have just returned to
their homes and that most Of these
are keenly anxious to render patriotic
service to their country. Some OF
these can be used in this emergency
