regulations have been drawn with
view to taking from the farms an
even smaller proportion of men, and
it is my hope that the local exemption
boards will make the new classified
tons with view of tightening the
load upon the farms to utmost extent.
Marketing to Be Facilitated:
"The federal railway administration
Is cooperating in the most active, in
telligent and efficient way with the
food administration to remove the diff
ficulties of transportation and of the
active movement of the crops. Their
marketing is to be facilitated and
the farmers given the opportunity to
realize promptly upon their stocks.
"The department of agriculture and
the food administration will continue
to cooperate as heretofore to assist
the farmers in every way possible
All questions of production, OF the
marketing Of farm products, OF con-
servation in the course of production,
and of agricultural labor and farm
problems generally, will be handles
by the department of agriculture;
while all questions of distribution OF
food supplies to the Allies, and OF
conservation in consumption will be
handled by the food administration,
but the chief reliance is upon the
farmer himself, and L am sure that
that reliance will be justified by the
results. The chief thing to be kept
clearly in mind is that regulations
of this sort are only part of the
great general plan of mobilization
into which every element in the ma
tion enters in this war as in no
other. The business of war touches
everybody. 1t is a stern business, a
cooperative business, business OF
energy and sacrifice. business of
service in the largest and best and
most stirring sense OF that great
work"
