FARM LABOR FOR HARVEST PROMISED

The farmers of Delaware are prom
ised labor for the harvest and for
planting as WELL if all the forces Of the
United States Departments OF Agri-
culture, Labor and War can supply
the demand. and they will be helped
by the County Agents and the State
Board Of Agriculture. Mr.. Charles
Warner of Wilmington, Director for
Public Service Reserve, called a con-
ference in Dover last Friday when Mr..
Warner, Mr.. A. G. Benkart, of the U.
S. Employment Service, Jos. NJ. Arm
strong, The Boys Working Reserve.
NJ o. Pence. County Agent Leader,
and the members of the State Board
OF Agriculture discussed the situation
with Governor Townsend, and all
available sources of supply for farm
labor will be canvassed in a system
attic manner, and there is no doubt but
that the labor will be ample for all
farm work. There are men in fac
tories who have worked on farms, and
their employers will be asked to give
them longer vacations than usual on
full pay, and then these men will be
asked to spend a week or two on
farms at regular farm wages, thus en-
abling the farmer to get himself out of
a pinch. and the laborer will have
useful and healthful vacation. Boys
between Is and 20 years will be en-
rolled, and all available labor from all
will be secured. Mr.. Warner,
Mr.. Benkhart and Mr.. Armstrong can
be reached in Wilmington, Mr.. Pence
at Newark. and the Board of Agricul
ture at Dover. 1t is possible that
offices will be opened in several of the
towns where applications for help can

BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS

Three hundred books have been col
lected. The response to the appeal
has been truly splendid. They have
been brought in from every part Of
the town and countryside, and have
been chosen with care as to authors,
matter and attractiveness. People
have given from their hest. One hun
dred books we're sent out last October
and the collection Of magazines on
that first drive was very fine. In these
times of world distress, we, as COM
munity, have again the consolation of
doing with promptness and with kind
ness a good and needed thing.

LONDON, March is. Arthur

Those who said so ought to have the
courage to test the opinion Of the

lines, he said. He believes that had
the proposal been made in the first
three months of the war it would
