FARMERS AND THE DRAFT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1S.--
Under the rules of the War Depart
ment for executing the new draft
law, special provision is made for in
forming the district boards in regard
to farm-labor requirements in order
that necessary food production may
be maintained, says a statement is
sued by the Department of Agricul-
ture. 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 furth-
er the war by remaining in civilian
occupations than by entering the
army. Accordingly, three advisers
are to be selected for each district
board-one for agriculture, one for
labor, and one for other occupations.
The agricultural adviser will be ap-
pointed by the board upon the rec
ommendation of the Secretary of Ag-
riculture. The advisers are not mem
bers of the board but may, when in
vited, attend it's meetings.
How Agricultural Adviser Will Aid.
The duties of the agricultural ad-
wiser will be to furnish to the board
facts relative to farm-labor require
ments, not only of his own district,
but of the whole country. He should
be the repository of all facts having
relation to the deferment of agricul-
tural workers, whether these be nee
essary farm laborers, managers or
operators. He will be expected to ad-
wise the district boards as to short
age or surplus of necessary farm
workers for any given district. as
we'll as for the entire nation. Such
information will be supplied to the
advisers by the Department Of Agri-
culture. This will make it possible
to have necessary workers trans
ferred from districts in which they
may not be necessary to other dis
tricts in which they are sorely
needed.
The adviser may also concern him
self with individual cases that come
before the district board. He will
have the right. under certain condi-
tons, to examine the questionnaires
and other records in the files of the
local board for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether persons entitled to
deferred classification have actually
claimed it. In case he finds the
names of such registrants he may
file for them a claim for deferred
classification with the district board,
which, in turn, may require the local
board to certify the QUESTIONABLE
and record of any such registrants
for consideration. Reasonable time
will be given for the purpose of OBJ
tanning information and supplying
the affidavits required. If a local
board determines to consider a case
for deferred classification because a
registrant is engaged in a necessary
occupation, notwithstanding no claim
for deferred classification on that
ground has been made, it shall en-
dorse the recommendation on the
QUESTIONABLE of the registrant and
forward it to the district board hav-
ing Jurisdiction. The district board
will thereupon consider the case and
proceed to classify the registrant.
notwithstanding the fact that no
claim for deferred classification by
or in respect Of the registrant has
been made.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1918-09-19
Claims In Behalf of Necessary
Employees.


A further duty with which the adj
wiser is charged Is to confer with en-
ployers of necessary farm workers
and to instruct them as to their right
under the regulations to file a claim
for deferred classification in respect
of any registrant who has failed or
refused to file a claim for deferred
classification in his own behalf. This,
in the opinion of the War Depart
ment, is a very important matter.
The apparent injustice of placing
many registrants in Glass l is often
due to the fact that employers bave
failed TO make claims for deferred
| classification on behalf Of necessary
workers. 1t is to avoid a repetition
OF this trouble that farmers should
see that all of their necessary EN-
ployees. whether sons or other la
borers, of the draft age have made
for them just claims for deferred
classification.
One important explanation is
made in the new Selective Service
Regulations in connection with the
expression skilled farm labor" The
questionable provides deferred clas-
sification for the necessary skilled
farm laborer in necessary agricul-
tural enterprises" The new regula-
tions provide that in Class1 shall be
placed any registrant found to be
engaged in a necessary" agricul-
tural enterprise. and found to be
necessary to such enterprise in the
capacity of a farm aborer-"espe-
cially fitted for the work in which
he is engaged" This quoted phrase
constitutes an explanation OF what Ia
meant by skilled" as applied to farm
laborer. The expression will make
easier the determination of the status
OF many registrants.
War Service In Right Place.
| The purpose In the appointing Of
advisers is to place men WHARF, thew
can do most to help win the war.
These advisers will be able to helm
greatly the district boards TO keen in
agriculture the necessary workers.
Ihese workers, whatever NAV be
their inclination to enter military
service. should stand ready to serve
in any capacity In which thew can
contribute most toward a speedy end
ing or the war. In order that this
may be done a frank statement
should, in each case. he made to the
boards 1t is believed that it will fire.
auently require as much courage on
the part Of many men to remain in
1'heir e.Hi)iap occupations as to waive
deferment
| This effort TO keep men in indus
try. rather than to send them to the
camps and the trenches, should not
be abused so as to permit the Stacker
to escape military duty The neces-
stiles for raising an army are para
mount. Every man that can be
spared will be needed and needed
badly to bring the enemy to his
senses. The adviser should be assisted
In every possible way by every le-
Ultimate agricultural interest to find
the men that can be spared for mill
tary duty. but also to keep those that
are essential to the maintenance OF
a proper food supply

her son to Red Cross auxiliary to be
forwarded; she had marked it by pc.

The story may have differed in de
tails, but those were the essentials. In
the first place a sweater acceptable to
the Red Cross has no sleeves and no
pockets, but there has never been an
