Deferred Classification for Farm Help
Agriculture has been placed in the
100 per cent class, as being absolute
ly essential to winning the war.
OF course the authority to grant
deferred classification on agricultural
grounds remains in the district draft
board, With the full approval and
cooperation of Gen. Crowder's office,
representative Of the u. S. depart
ment of agriculture will sit with each
district board, with no right to vote,
but to place before the board all the
facts and information in his posses
sion as to workers in agriculture.
A registered man who has been
given deferred classification on ag-
ricuitural grounds, and who applies
to the local board for voluntary in
duction into military service, is not
to be so indicted until the agricultur-
al adviser, sitting with the district
board, has been informed of the name
of the registrant and the place and
character of his employment, and has
been given 72 hours to consult with
the registrant and advise him of the
necessities of the agricultural sit
uation in order that the registrant
may withdraw his application because
of the pressing need for his services.
1t is hoped by the above plan to
reduce in some measure the agricul-
tural disturbance which will follow
the present draft, and to prevent
the withdrawal Of the key men from
as many farms as possible.
Farmers and others interested in
food production who do not have a
full knowledge of the new regulations
should inform themselves, and then
assist in informing others.

Who Will Gather Corn and Cotton?

Large crops of corn and cotton have
been raised in some sections Of the
state, but there is serious shortage
of labor to do the harvesting. Farm
ers report that they experience diff
ficulty in securing farm help of all
kinds. The draft and the powder
plants have depleted the farms Of
available labor and there is little
left to help the farmers complete their
late fall work.
The U. S. Employment Service is
undoubtedly doing its best to provide
the farmers with an adequate supply
of labor, but so long as the farmers
help is being constantly called away
it is unable to help them much.
There are difficult problems yet
remaining to be solved if the farmers
are to produce and harvest the max
imum crops next year, The farmers
themselves can do much to solve their
own labor problems, and should study
this matter carefully right now and
see what can be done on their farms
to remedy the situation.
