DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION
 FOR AGRICULTURAL WORKERS

County Agent Warner has received from the office of the seerttary of the United States Department of Agri- cultural the following information re- garding deferred classification on oc- oupati0nal grounds:
 DefermeRt may be granted to three groups of agricultural workers;
 1-Neeessary skilled farm lahefer in necessary agricultural enterprise.
 2-Mecessary assistant, associate, or hired manager of necessary agrieur- tural enterprise.
 3-Neeessary sole managing, con- trolling, or directing head of neces- : sary agricultural enterprise.
 The. chief questions arising in con- nection with the first group (deferred Class ID are whether the enterprise is necessary" and whether the labor CTS are "necessary" and "skilEed" The regulations of the war department are that g particular agricultural enter prise is necessary only when it is shown that it Is producing an ap- nreeiahle ament of agricultural pro- duce over and above what is neees- saFy for the maintenance of those iiv- ing on the place. As applied to farm laherer the word necessary" mea ns that he is actually and completely en- gagged" in agriculture, that his re- meval 'tw6uld result in direct, substan. tiai, material loss and detFiment tt the effectiveness of the agricultural en- terprise" and that an available sun ply of persons competent to take hi, place does not exist. The beard give 1 consideration to the laborer's lengtl l of service, his sturdy training, expe 1 rience "the extent and value of hi 1 qualifications for the capacity in whiel
 he is engaged" and "the actual condf tions which would result from his re I meva1"
 The word skilled" as applied t i farm laborer is perhaps the most diff l ficult to interpret. In the new regu l lati9ns he is said to be %skilled'' whei l he is especially fitted for the woR 1 in which he is engaged.p This is tn l onlv definition given by the war de nartment An authority on this sub l ;eet has given the following definition
 "A skilled farm laherer is one wh
 has the strength, intelligence and ex perience to perform aeeeptab ply, tn l ordinary farm operations of the dis trict, community or farm concerned
 whether in fields. ranches. orchards c
