DEFERMENT TO NECESSARY
MEN IN AGRICULTURE

County AAA Chairman, Frank L..
Carr, halls as "step in the right
direction" the program for stabil-
izing employment on the nations
dairy, livestock, and poultry farms.
Local draft boards will also be
asked to grant occupational de-
ferment to dairy, livestock and
poultry farmers and farm hands
without grounds for dependency de-
ferment, but who are necessary
men" for whom replacements are
not available. Workers in the lat
ter group would be subject to re-
classification and possible induction
as soon as they ceased to perform
the necessary work for which they
had been granted deferment.
An attempt to stem the flow OF
skilled farm labor to war industries
is seen in the VINO announcement
that all employers will be instruct
ed to refrain from hiring skilled
workers who have been engaged in
the same three types OF farm pro-
duction. AS it's part in the VINO
farm labor program, the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture will act to
stabilize wages on dairy, livestock,
and poultry farms with a view to
assisting these farmers In their eff
forts to secure and to maintain AMI
adequate supply Of labor.
