Finding Help for Harvest


Kansas answered the call for m
creased food production. Kansas plant.
ed more wheat. Kansas knew, Of
course. that tremendous amount Of
man power would be required to har.
vest that crop. But Kansas wasn't dis.
mayed. Uncle Sam called for more
wheat. Kansas planted more wheat.
Kansas knew that wheat would be har-
vested and that people In the towns
and cities would 60 to the fields to
help do it!
And that Is precisely how 1t is being
harvested-by people from the towns
and cities of Kansas. A literal exo-
dus OF all the urban people hasn't been
necessary, Of course. But all that were
needed went-and more were ready IL
needed.
The statewide campaign for town
volunteers for farm labor service dur.
Ing the harvest was launched at a Kan.
sas City conference the latter part Of
May. Representatives Of the United
States department Of agriculture re.
minded all the co-opernting agencies
at that conference Of the policy that
department has been urging since the
beginning Of the war-the use Of town
man power for local farm labor needs
during seasonal emergencies.

TRAIN FOR HARD WORK

Is there a physical training

II not, this Is good time to

Of town and city men, 80 they

work during emergency needs
for farm labor In their counties

Kansas City started q 1oyal

ed as effectively, and some Of
them would have been forced to
drop out altogether, If they had
not been prepared for the physl-

Uncle Sam needs the help Of
every loyal American citizen.
Either work or fightl You can't
do your best work, either at
your present job or at any other
job, or In the fields temporarily
as a farm volunteer, unless you
are physically MT.
A few weeks work in a physI-
cal training class will "harden"
you surprisingly. Start a class
In your town. Be ready to go to
work effectively, be able really
to accomplish something in the
fields when the call comes for
patriotic town men to do emer.
gency farm work In your section.

the things you need.
