It is, to my mind, one Cf the most serious problems which the government will have to confront. for with the large numbers of. men being asked for military service, there is bound to be a shortage in the fields, and as ElWOOd Mead stated, at a meet ing here last night, it is more import ant that there should be men for the tilling of the fields than at the front If the situation is acute now, when noth- ing requiring the maximum of labor IS being done what will the situation be when cotton picking time comes, and perhaps not less than half a million the army The Arizona Council of De- fense can perform no greater work thar to find solution of the labor problem.
