FOUR-F’S AND FARMS
Christian Science Monitor
So many objections to a National Service law
arise, objections both practical and political,
that it has been evident for some days a middle
way would be sought. This way is now uncover
ed in the proposal to draft so-called 4-F’s— wh
ich is to say the physically disqualified— for fa-
im and factory work.
It is held by Selective Service that legislation
on the books permits this, though it is not expl
ained how the constitutional problem of draft
ing men to be used for somebody’s private prof
it would be solved. Presumably, as has been su
ggested, the Army might induct them as sold
iers and then assign them to labor battalions.
These various proposals have an indirect ob
jective. They are aimed at focusing more press
ure on the farms, where by far the greatest nu
mber of the physically fit younger men that the
Army really wants as fighters are still deferred,
and are more or less protected by the Tydings
Amendment which provides a vague deferment
for farmers.
Naturally at a time when the Department of
Agriculture and the War Food Administration
are striving to get continuously high food-pro
duction quotas, some definite provision must
be made for the normal farm work and for the
peak demands of harvesting time. The evident
intention here is to offer 4-F’s in return for the
especially able-bodied youths of the farms.
This is an immense sacrifice to ask of the
farmers, especially since on many farms the
youth are members of the family and have sp
ecial skills and “ know-how” that city-bred
4-F’s could not hope to duplicate quickly.
But it is a sacrifice that must be asked, if
Army and Navy estimates of needs are to be
accepted. And the turn o f the fighting suggests
that earlier plans for highly trained specialist
fighters or airmen--quality vs. quantity— must
be revised. Against every hope and expectation,
the conclusion is being forced upon us that land
masses of troops must be employed.
That means a sharp step-up of demands upon
the young foot-soldiers. It concomitantly means
that those remaining on the home front must
realistically fill in the gaps.
No law can entirely meet the problem. It re
quires, as President Roosevelt very aptly says,
some individual “ soul-searching” .

Interruption of electric service
vital to farm operations is result
ing almost daily in the Snake river
valley from fire left untended along
rural roadsides.
"Numerous electric poles on the
system of Idaho Power company
have been destroyed this spring
because of unwatched Ilres,” Bern
ard Frost, the company's local man
ager reports. "In these instances
electric service was temporarily In
terrupted and the interruptions
affected a sizeable number of peo
ple who were depending upon elec
tricity for incubation, brooding, re
frigeration, and other
essential
farrh operations."
In addition, the problem o f ob
taining poles for replacements has
beopme serious, and the power
company has issued a plea to farm
ers and farm workers to exercise
greater care when burning grass
or weeds.
There have been numerous In
stances of repair crews spending
their time replacing burned-out
poles, while farmers in the same
community were awaiting con
struction of new extension lines
which would bring them elec
tricity to relieve labor shortages
and assist crop production.
"The Idaho Power company, like
other industries, has lost many
maintenance men to the armed
forces, and a destroyed pole not
only results in an interruption of
service, but places additional bur
den upon busy repair crews," Mr
Frost points out. "W e ask the co
operation of persons burning weeds
along power lines in safeguarding
both the poles and the continuity
of electric service."
