Safety League Will Start Drive to
Secure Necessary Help.
The National Safety league of Man
kato together with the auxiliary
leagues in smaller towns in the eoun-
ty are starting Immediately to Sc
cure the enlistment of men located in
towns for work on farms in the coun-
ty during the haying and harvesting
season. The shortage OF farm help
has beome so acute that there is
grave danger of loss of crops from
lack of help, other sections of the
country are, similarly situated and
the United States government has
assigned to each county in Minnesota
the responsibility for harvesting crops
with the help available in the county.
There are in Mankato and other
towns of Blue Earth county many
men who can in case of necessity go
on to the farms shorter or longer
periods varying from two or three
days to one month. The work or
fight order of the Minnesota Public
Safety commission is very far reach
ing and in case of absolute necessity
all men in positions that could be
filled by women may be called out.
1t is not anticipated that such dras-
tic means will be necessary this sea-
son provided there is hearty coop
Grafton in enlisting in farm work.
There is every prospect of excel
lent crops at the present time and
there is no question but that the pa
triotic citizens of towns and villages
of Blue Earth county will respond to
this call for war service.
