' More and morp miff must be drafted In to the army; The War pepartment finds It Impos sible to grant furloughs to theae men who have been called away from tho farina. The need of men la greater In the army. I realize that the short* age of farm labor is a serious handi cap. Crops must be cultivated. A' little later the harvests will be on. to this situation I urge that, In every community throughout^ the t.

In this way, and ' ftn this way only, will a great economio loss be avoided.
