Young Hen Host Return to Farms.
All young men of draft age
who were granted deferred
classification through agricul
tural claims will have to be
actively engaged in farm work
after April 15 or be Inducted in
to military service, if the district
draft boards of the State follow a
suggestion made by Secretary
of Agriculture Charles E Patton.
Many district boards granted
deferred classification to a large
percentage of the young men
makiDg agricultural claims, but
during the winter the young men
temporarily took up work in the
mines and factories and it is tear
ed that manv mar be inclined to
remain there on account of the
higher wages and shorter hours.
Members of the several dis
trict boards have called the at
tention of Secretary Patton to
this condition and have asked
him to urge the boys to get back
to the farm as soon as the farm
ing season opens and to remain
there and do their duty in pro
ducing more food.
Secretary Patton says:
''The farm labor situation is
serious and all available help
must be eiven the farmer il
Pennsylvania is to pr douce its
maximum crop of corn, oats,
buckwheat, wheat, rye and veg
etables. The State will try to
assist the farmer in every way
possib-e and has- arranged to
Dlace forty tractors m different
sections to help prepare the land
for the season's crops. Many
agricultural claims for deferred
classification have been allowed
the young men of the draft age,
but during the winter they have
drifted to the cities or to work
other than agriculture. It is
only just to the thousands of
other young men ot the State
who have been called to the
colors, that those allowed agri
cultural deferment should get
back to the farms at once, and
nerform the farm work which
crave them the deferred class :fi
cation.
I think it should be the duty
of every district draft board to
- en over the agricultural claims
allowed and unless all young men
affected are louna actively engag
ed in farming by April 15, then
their status should be changed,
and they should be reclassified,
placed in Class 1 and iuducted in
to military service.
"Let us give every aid possible
to the production of bumper corn
crops this summer and the prep
aration of a record wheat acreage
next fall."

two years' Imprisonment or both. If any persons fu'. to report, the Food
Administration can promise them no leniency, If found guilty of hoarding.
"By dlrectln? the public to state tieir flour holdlnrs on the flour sup
ply card the Food Administration Is taking the su p iievi--s;iry to pr. v nt
a possible flour famine. Hoarders hasten famine. If ti"U May. J'tno or .Inly

In winning the war."

HOWARD HE'N'Z.
Federal Food Administrator for Pennnylvanla,
Send Report to ,
Clarifying tbe Draft Rules.
Reclassification of all men in
the draft age who come within
the next call will b e the feature
of the new rules that have just
been issued from Washington.
In the first draft the exemptions
were alarmingly numerous. In
the next one there will be pract
ically no exemptions except for
those who are absolutely unfitted
from a physical standpoint. Ev
ery man summoned before the
boards will be placed in one of
the four following classes:
(A) Acceptable for general mil
itary service.
(B) Acceptable for general mil
itary service after being cur
ed of remedial defect.
(C) Acceptable for special or
limited military service in
a specified capacity or occu
pation. (D) Rejected and exempted for
any military service.
This is simplicity itself, and it
means that the your.g manhood
of the Nation is to be utilized to
the limit. 1 1 not only makes the
matter clear, but it is perfectly
fair. It means that there can be
no unjust exemptions. I n the
beginning there was confusion.
It is possible that in some in
stances there may have been some
favoritism, but under the new
rules it is difficult to Bee how any
eligible can escape service,
except by down-right dis
honesty of the examinin g
and . exemption boards. 1 1
must be said for these boards
that, generally speaking, they
have performed a trying and
difficult duty with zeal and intel
ligence.
The Selective Military Service
law has been a real success, and
its imperfections are being cor
rected in a way that must be
gratifying to all who believe in
our democratic form of govern
mentPhiladelphia Inquirer.

The Mount Union Times says
that Ralph Fagan, of Oneida
townBhip, Huntingdon County
ha1? a full bred Hulstein cow that
is making quite a record. He
bought her at a sale on Novem
ber 1G last. On the 22md of De

calves which she is raising. H e
weaned the calves on the Oth of
Januaiy, and from the lOih of
that month until the 10th of
February, after giving the calves
a couple quarts of milk apiece
for their share, he Bold her milk
through the dairy. 511 quarts
at ten cents the quart, bringing
in $34.40. He fed the cow fifteen
pounds of chop and two sheaves
of fodder daily, her feed for the
nmnth amounting to $13.80. In

$10.30 on her keep, and bid fair
to be a ciear investment long be
