Appeal From The Governor of
Maryland.

have been requested by tine Maryland
Council Of Defense and by the Federal
State Director of Labor and Employment
to aid them in the important work of sup
plying to the farmers of Maryland. during
the crop seasons of the present year, suf-
ficient farm labor for the harvesting of
their crops.
Maryland farmers have responded to the
worlds great need for food by planting
larger crops and more extensive acres this
year than ever before, and the time is
rapidly approaching when some of these
will be ready to be harvested, while the
need continuously exists for the cult
walton of growing crops.
Farm labor in Maryland this year is at
present short 5000 laborers. and this
shortage must be made up somehow If the
crops are to be successfully harvested.
To aid in this work is the patriotic duty
of all persons who are capable Of helping,
and who can. even at personal inconven-
fence and sacrifice. arrange to do so.
The urgency and necessity of this work
is so great that. in obedience to the re-
quest of the Maryland Council Of Defense
and Of the Federal State Director Of Labor
and Employment. address this appeal to
the people Of Maryland, asking and urging
all who can assist in this important work
of crop cultivation and harvesting to do
so, and address this appeal especially to
residents Of Baltimore and other cities of
our State who are employed in the cities
and who will take one or more weeks vaca-
ton during the summer, which customa-
rily would be spent in the country, request
ing that these vacation periods be de-
voted to work on the farms Of the State.
helping in the cultivation and harvesting
Of crops
Proper pay and compensation will be
made by the farmers to all persons who
will so help. and by this means vacation
periods can be turned to the profit of both
the volunteers who help and to the farmers.
Persons are requested to register for this
service at as early date as possible at the
United States Public Reserve Office, 20
Commerce street. Baltimore. at the branch
offices Of the Reserve in Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Salisbury. and with the Post
masters Of all other towns throughout the
State.
