Rounding Up Slackers

A nationwide camp align to round up
men who lodged the draft has been
started by military authorities, and
hundreds of former military intelli-
gence operatives are to be t allied to
the service for this work.

Major William G. Murdoch, former
state draft officer, are two-fold-to
clear the names of men who were

The advice of the Gamers to the grow
ers is to plant the seed and make plans
to grow tomatoes, for they hope that
the price of the raw material will
make it profitable for the farmer.
Gamers are also urging farmers to
grow many peas this spring.
One Gamer says that the present
price of $50 a ton for peas, offered by
Gamers, makes peas n of the most
profitable crops the farmer a grow

a local Gamer the government is sell

however, are urged to plant tomato
seed in large quantities, so as to have
the plants ready to put out, if needed,
thus assuring an early crop.
No contract price for tomatoes has
