 WILL BE ORGANIZED
 FOR FARM WORK
Director of Alabama Boys Reserve to Have Coop eration of State Defense
 Council

Montgomery, June 13.-- Especially Flight thousand high school boys of Alabama will be organized at once and transferred to the farms for the harvesting of crops this fall. The state council of defense will cooperate with w. Nash Reid. director of the boys working reserve for Alabama, and a conference will be called for the next few days when plans will be made. Spright Dowell. state superintendent of education, will be in- vited to the conference so some under standing may be had as to whether or not the boys will lose their standing in their classes during the time they are in the fields.
 With labor short, farmers will find it impossible to harvest their crops this fall unless the high school boys between Is and 21 can be organized into an effective force for this work. In addition, the work of every woman and child who can go into the fields will be needed.
 The executive committee of the state council has appointed Governor Tender son, Dr. C.. c. Thach and Lloyd M Hooper as a committee to work out all plans for the use of high school boys with Director Reid.
 It will be necessary to surround the boys with the proper safeguards while they are on the farms and this problem will be worked out in conference.
