Under the rules of the War Depart
ment for executing the new draft law,
special provision is made for inform
ing the district boards in regard to
farm-labor requirements in order that
necessary food production may be
maintained, says a statement issued
by the Department of Agriculture
The statement continues: In the new
draft the district boards are charged
with the duty of putting into deferred
classes those persons who are more
likely to further the war by remaining
in civilian occupations than by enter
ing the army. Accordingly, three adj
visers are to be selected for each dis
trict board-one for agriculture, one
for labor, and one for other occGra-
lions. The agricultural adviser will be
appointed by the board upon the re-
commentator of the Secretary of Ag-
riculture. The advisers are not MEM
bers of the board but may, when in
vited, attend it's meetings.
