Congress saw fit-after a long
tlme-to grant deferment from
armed service to essential far
mers and farm helpers. Eligible
lty for such deferment is based
on a system of certain units of
production. This doesn't help
the situation very much for a
couple of reasons. In the first
place most of the boys who
would be eligible for such defer
ment are sensitive to the feel
ing that they might be consid-
cred slack in their patriotic du-
ty. This feeling is augmented
somewhat by a few loose
mouthed synthetic patriots who
seem to find it easy to work up
a patriotic white heat on some
one elSes blood and CUTS. Sec
ondly, the fabulous wages being
paid by ship yards, plane fac
tories and such defense work on
so-called cost plus contracts
cannot be met by farmers whose
price for products are frozen to
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1944-02-03

a maximum limit which will not
permit him to pay such wages
and survive.
The army has released thous-
ands of able bodied men to de-
Tense work in mines and plane
factories - supposedly skilled
workers. A skilled farm boy has
more skill per square inch than
is required of the entire cubic
contents of a routine mass
production defense worker. The
fact that these workers have
been indicted into the army and
then released for defense work
has entirely fumigated the idea
of any slackness on their part
while the farm boy who asks
for deferment at the start gets
no benefit OF such fumigation.
In the meantime how in hell
is a farmer gonna produce a
maximum quota of food if he
can't get the help and not even
the machinery to do it with?

Big Horn county is a straight
agricultural county and as a
consequence the Selective SER
Vice has made, since the war
started, an abnormal demand
upon agricultural workers in or
der to fill the requirements of
the armed services. This togeth-
er with tine high wage induce
ments of defense work has Just
about cleaned the county of
young farmers and farm helpers
and as a result the farms will be
hard put to meet the food pro-
auction requirements put to
them for the coming year.
Every farmer, whether he be
the farmer himself or a farm
helper, who is actually doing all
ne can to produce food stuffs,
Who Is taken from the county by
draft or to enter defense work,
just makes the food production
situation that much worse.
thousands of young men who
were eligible for armed service
from the cites and towns and
also from the farms, have en-
Tered into defense work of one
kind or another, and a lot of
others have volunteered for ar
med services rather than be
drafted. OF course, it is perhaps
more exciting, to say nothing
about the better pay, to work in
a defense plant of some kind
than it is to work on a farm.
But certainly the work is no more
essential to the war effort.
We heard a guy on the radio

than on its stomachs| Now, he
certainly is not only dumb, but
he is taking a lot for granted.
He probably thinks that the
beef steak he eats originates in a
Chicago packin' house. He no
doubt thinks that the wheat
supply of the country gushes up
out of the wheat pit on the
board of trade. There are plenty
OF people back in the East who
have no more idea of what it
takes to produce the food of
