drawn with view Of taking from th'
farms an even smaller proportion o.
men, and il is my hope that the loeal
exemption boards win make the new
elassifieations with view Of tighten
ing the load upon the farmers 70 the ut
most extent. The Secretary Of Wan
has asked for authority 70 furlough
soldiers Of the national army if eondi
tions permit IL, 20 that they may re-
turn 10 their farms when assistance il
necessary in the planting and harvest
ing Of crops. National and local agen-
eies are actively at work besides in
organizing community help for the
mere efficient distribution Of available
labor and in drawing upon new sources
Of labor. While there viii be Difficult
ties, and very serious ones they
VIII be difficulties which are
among the stern necessities Of war.
The Federal Railway Administra-
tion is cooperating in the most active
intelligent and efficient way with the
Food Administration 10 remove the
difficulties Of transportation and Of the
active movement Of crops. Thar mar
keting is to be facilitated and the
farmers given the opportunity 70 re-
alize promptly upon their stocks.
ssThe Department Of Agriculture
and the Food administration viii con.
tinue 10 cooperate as heretofore 10 as
sist the farmers in every way possible.
All questions Of production. Of the
marketing Of farm products, Of eonser-
walton in the course Of production, and
Of agricultural labor aud farm prob
lens generally viii be handled BY the
Department o. Agriculture, while all
questions Of distribution Of food sup
plies to the allies and 81 conservation
in consumption will b. handled BY rhe
Food Administration; but the chief re-
lance is upon the farmer himself. and
I AM SURE THAT THAT RELIANCE
WILL BE JUSTIFIED BY THE RE
SUITS. The chief thing to be kept
clearly in mind is that regulations 81
this sort are only a part Of the great
general plan Of mobilization into which
every element in the nation enters IL
this war as in no other, The business
81 var touches everybody. II Is
stern business, q cooperative business.
a business Of energy and sacrifice,
business Of service in the largest and
best and most stirring sense Of that
great word -
