Local Farmers Id Public Meeting.

A large number of representative farm
ers from all sections of the county met at
the Court House here on Tuesday morning
to discuss the question of securing emer-
gency labor for the coming harvest. A
permanent farm-labor committee was Or
ganized with John W. Henderson chairman,
and W. W. Mobley, Charles Veirs, Windsor
Hodges, Josiah W. Jones, M. o. Stabler, j.
B. Diamond, Jr., B. H. Howard and Walter
Tuckerman as members. Preston B. Ray
was named as secretary of the committee.
The object of this committee will be to
keep the farmers in touch with the sources
of reserve farm labor which Is now being
listed and registered by Government agen-
cies In the large centers of the country,
and also to keep them informed of volun-
teer help, such as is offered by the Bethesda
Farm Help Association. The meeting de-
veloped that at present there are two pos
sible sources Of reserve help upon which
our farmers may call for the present har-
vest. Federal Director General Calm, Of
the Boys Farm Reserve of Baltimore City,
was present at the meeting and stated that
his department had registered sufficient
number Of boys between the ages of l6
and 81 to accommodate the needs of the
county. Application for this class of help
should be made directly to Mr.. Calm. Fed
eral Director. Union Trust Building. Balti-
more, Md, or to John W. Henderson. Ger
mantown. or Preston B. Ray, Rockville.
A limited number of persons in the vi
cinity Of Bethesda. through the Farm Help
Association, have volunteered to help the
farmers in harvest. This help may be
secured through application to B. II. How
ard, of Bethesda, or Preston B. Ray, Rock
vile.
1t was reported to the meeting that Gen.
Francis Waters. Of the Maryland Council
Of Defense, had not been able to induce
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to release
It's hands during harvest, but that they
expected the State Roads Commission and
the War Department to release the men at
work OH State roads and the Conduit road
in this county.
The whole matter Of farm labor was fully
discussed at the meeting, both by the farm
ers present and by the prominent Govern
ment specialists who attended the meet
ing Mr.. Hilleeeist. farm-help specialist
Of the Agricultural Department; Professor
Amos. Of the Department Of Labor; Mr.
Calm. of the Boys Reserve, and Mr.. Bren-
nan. of the State Compulsory Work Bureau
were present and spoke fully of the many
problems that now confront our farmers.
In connection with the use Of the Boys
Reserve. it was suggested by Mr.. Cain
that it was possible to establish camps Of
the boys in the various farming sections Of
the county and the boys could be sent
daily from these camps to the various
farmers who might need them during
harvest. Mr. Henderson was directed tC
appoint committee for each election dis
trict Of the county to determine whether
or not their respective sections could use
one Of these camps. These committees
have been appointed and directed by Mr.
Henderson to make at once survey o.
the wishes Of their sections and report the
same to him.

No man can have the excuse that he
cannot find employment in these times,
