Hon. Mr. Justice Duff gave judgment on December 6th, in the first test case brought before him, as Central Appeal Judge (the nal court of appeal), for the exemp- tion of a farmer. The appeal was made by `N. H. Rown-- tree in respect of his son, W. J. Rowntree, from the: decision of Local Tribunal, Ontario, No. 421, which refused a claim for exemption. The son was stated to be an experienced farm hand, who had been working- on the farm continuously for the past seven years, and ever since leaving school. He lives and works with his father, who owns a farm of 150 acres near Weston, Ontario. With the exception of a younger brother, he- islthe only male help of the father on the farm. The father is a man of advanced years. ' Pic. `r1L.. The Military Service Act does not deal with the subject of the exemption of persons engaged in the agri- cultural industry; and the question which it is my duty to decide is whether the applicant being "and having been, as above mentioned, habitually and effectively en gaged in agriculture and in labor essential to the carry ing on of agricultural production, ought to be exempted. under the provisions of the Military Service Act. These two propositions are indisputable : (l) in order that the militaryipower of the allies. may be adequately sustained, it is essential that in this country and under the present conditions, there- should be no diminution in agricultural production. TORONTO MARKETS In granting the man exemption until he ceases to be employed in agricultura'l labor, Mr. Justice Du` said: Ptc. Ii. G. ] 10. (7lil'I'0r I h_-. H. .H. Pto. Roy G P10. (100. G Pte. C`-nrl I Ptv. _-\lf.'1'(*d l t(-. \\ St:mlQ\ .-` Gordon L`..l|.\...I..... A \.V (2) The supply of competent labor available for- the purpose of agricultural production is not abundant, but actually is decient. The proper conclusion appears to be that the ap-- plicant, a competent person, who had been habitually and effectively engaged in labor essential to such pro-- duction, ought not to be withdrawn from it. It is perhaps unnecessary to say that such exemp- tions are not granted as concessions on account of per- sonal hardship, still less as a favor to a class. The sole. ground of them is that the national interest is the better served by keeping these men at home. The supreme. necessity (upon the existence of which, as its preamble shows, this policy of the Military Service Act is found-. ed) that leads the State to take men by compulsion and" put them in the ghting line requires that men shall he kept at home who are engaged in work essential to en- able the State to maintain the full eiciency of the com- batant forces, and whose places cannot be taken by others not within the class called out. Mr. Justice Duff (the Final Court of Appeal) De- clares it is Essential that there shall be No Diminution in Agricultural Production. HONOR ROLL UNVEILED. (Contilnwd from JI.
