with the Department of Labor, is
charged with the distribution of mo-
bile labor for the country as a whole.
Thus each unit in the system acts
as clearing house for it's own terri
tory, reporting to the units higher up
only when it needs help or has help
to offer. The plan provides that sup
elemental reports shall be submitted
by each community man whenever
changes in th;e local labor situation
make desirable further adjustments
that cannot be met with the material
at hand, or when a surplus of labor
develops which he cannot use.
May Use Retired Farmers.
A great many retired farmers, of
whom there are 100000 in the coun-
try, may be available for emergency
service under this plan of farm labor
mobilization. The plans contemplate
also the drawing of emergency labor
from the cities under the immediate
direction of the Department of Labor,
the effective utilization of college stu
dents and school boys, and, if neees-
sary, the assignment of volunteer wo-
men and girls to rural tasks connect
ed with feeding and caring for har-
vest hands or other extra labor or
other extra labor or with farm can
ming or drying of surplus perishable
products. In other words, the plan
contemplates supplying assistance not
merely for field operations, but to
farm women during their season of
heaviest domestic duties.
