E persons who are more likely to fur-
ther- -thesWar by remaining in civilian
occupations than by entering the
4 Army. Accordingly, three adviserz
Il are to be selected for each district
8 board one for agriculture, one for
labor. and one for other occupations.
The agricultural ad wiser will be an
pointed by the board upon the rec
ommendations of the Secretary 4 Of

The duties Of the agricultural ad-
wiser will be to furnish to the board

B ments. nof only Of his own district,
& hut OF the whole country. He
\ should be the repository OF all facts
q HAVING relation to the deferment OF
agricultural workers, whether these
be necessary farm laborers. mana al
1 gers or operators. He Will be sex
4 pected to advise the district boards
\ as to shortage OF surplus &of u neces-.
sary farm workers for any given dis
trict, as we'll as for the entire Ma
tion. Such information will be
supplied to the advisers by the De-
!; partment Of Agriculture. This Will
]: make It possible to have necessary
workers transferred from districts
I In which they may not be necessary
/ to other districts In which they are
sOrely needed. Z; +ff,
The adviser 3 may also concern
himself with individual cases that
]! come before the district board. He
will have the right, under certain;
conditions, to examine the question:
naires and other records In the files
of the local board for the purpose
1of ascertaining whether persons en-
titled to deferred classification have
i actually claimed it. In case ne.
tinds the names 5of such registrants
he may file for them q claim for de-
terred classific with the district
board, which, in turn may require
the local board to certify the ques-
tionnRire and record Of anysr such
reRistrants for conside Ion. Rea-

A further duty with which the

failed or refused to file q claim for
deferred classification In hts own
