VOLUNTEERS TO
PICK COTTON
Valley Fields To See
City Folk Aid In
Long Staple Harvest

Tomorrow and Sunday scores of
Coolidge folk will make their ini-
tial acquaintance with long staple
cotton in the raw . cotton on
the stalk waiting to be plucked
and started on it's way to become
fabric for airplanes and parachutes
and the countless other articles
our government demands be made
only from long staple fibre.
For the stouthearted and the pa
trlotic these two days will be only
the first of many to be spent in
the fields until the entire long
staple crops is harvested.
Determination to rally volunteer
plckers from the ranks of towns
people was reached Monday night
at general meeting of Coolidge
chamber of commerce when farm
leaders Kelvin X. Henness. county
agricultural agent and A. l.. Bart
lett, president of the farm bureau.
with Paul Loucks, chamber of
commerce secretary, lead discus
sion of the need to recruit suffi-
cient volunteer labor to insure a
100 per cent harvest of this vital
war material.
Tuesday afternoon and evening
volunteer street captains inter-
viewed residents of Coolidge in a
recruitment campaign in which
more than $50 men, women and
children volunteered to go into the
flelds to help gather the long
staple now grown on more than
10000 acres of SxP cotton.
From Superior will come Sunday
morning group of 40 high school
boys to join with Coolidge folks
going into the cotton fields.
Volunteers from all walks of
Coolidge life will gather tomorrow
and Sunday mornings at the local
Office of u. S. Employment Ser
vice at Main street and Central
avenue when transportation to the
cotton fields will be furnished by
farmers.
Assignment OF volunteers to par
ticular fields has been arranged
with individual farmers Indicating
the number of pickers they can
use and supervisors.
All volunteer pickers are urged
to pay close attention to initial
instruction given them at the fields
and to confine their labor to desig-
mated rows. Particular stress has
been laid on the need for careful
and clean picking.
volunteer cotton pickers will not
be asked to pick short staple cot
ton, according to farm leaders. and
all volunteer labor will be cOnfint
ed to the fields of SxP cotton. This
has been particularly stressed
concerning grade and high school
children, some of whom reported
this week that they spent the day
picking short staple cotton be-
cause it was easier -.
Prizes to the best cotton pickers
developed among the volunteers
are being planned as impetus was
given to the prizeaward plan at
the chamber of commerce Monday
night when l. E. Jaggers, assistant
state manager of Safeway Stores
announced his company would put
up a substantial cash sum for this
purpose.
Volunteers from among the SOL
diers stationed at the army camp
near Florence are expected to add
more than 200 pickers going into
the fields of the valley after this
Sunday.

Most OF the judges now are added
