Farm Labor Shortage
In Nearby Maryland
Growers Protest
Enrolment Of Boys
For BeitsyilIe Comps

Director James J. McEntee of the
Civilian Conservation Corps said
today he was investigating protests
of Charles County farm organiza-
tions that boys were being enrolled
for camps at Beltsville, Md. despite
the need for farm hands in the
Southern Maryland area.
During the month Of October,
Mr.. McEntee said. A colored youths
from Charles County had been en-
rolled for two Beltsville camps
through the Washington office Of
public assistance, which is the
certifying agency for the District.
The purpose Of the investigation Is
to determine whether anv of the
Youths are ineligible. in which case
they will be discharged. he stated.
All were certified under the District
quota.
Procedure Explained.
Mr.. McEntee explained that the
usual procedure is for youths to be
certified by their local selecting
agency" usually the local welfare
board, providing they are not In
school, are unemployed and are in
need of employment.
Under a practice of several years
standing. however. the District has
been permitted to certify youths
from other States for nearby camps
because Of the large number OF
transients. who would otherwise
have been a charge on District relief
agencies until certification could be
obtained from officials in their home
localities, according to Mr.. McEntee.
In these cases the applicants have
been certified and permitted to go
to camp while District officials noti-
fed their local selecting agency OF
the action. II the local agency
showed they were ineligible. the en-
rollees were discharged. No protests
have been received over this pro-
cedure to date, although hundreds
of cases from many States have
been handled, Mr.. McEntee said.
Charles County Protests.
The protest made by Charles
Stevenson Smith OF Port Tobacco
in behalf of the Charles County
Agricultural Defense Board, stated
that about 10 youths had recently
been enrolled in the Beltsville camps
from that county despite shortage
of labor and a plea by the Govern
ment to increase farm production.
P. D. Brown, Charles County agri-
cultural agent, said the farm labor
supply was 40 per cent below normal
and many farmers were unable tt
get the help they needed. Current
wages, he said, are usually $3.50 q
day for day labor. and $50. room
and board on a monthly basis.

at a recent meeting in Washington
