If he succeeds in meeting the ur- gent need of farmers for help in growing and harvesting their crops and the weather is favorable-the nation will have almost as much to eat as last year.
 If he fails? We are not going to fail," said the quiet-spoken Texan. T can do only very small part of the job. If I'm any judge of the American people, they'll do a whale of a good job. Too much depends on that job for anyone to fail.'
 Colonel Taylor was called from active military service by War Food Administrator Chester c. Davis to direct the farm labor program. He still is in uniform, drawing Army pay. But his organization is any thing but military.
 Maximum local authority and responsibility and minimum of federal control is the program" Taylor said. "This labor supply prob sem has to be solved on the spot, in the countries and communities.
 1ndC QOeS nOC Inedn, ne SdlQ, IIldC the federal and state governments are not accepting their share of re- sponsibility. The Hand army plans include about 125,000 migratory workers under federal direction. They will be trouble shooters to be rushed to any point of critical need.
 That highly mobile division of the army will comprise 50.O0o Ameri- can migratory workers, 10000 of the "Women's Land Army branch of the U. s. Crops Corps 50,000 workers from Mexico. 10000 from Jamaica and 2,5OO to 5000 from Bahama.
 County Agents Control
 AS now established the program places the greatest control in the county agents and the extension service of the state agricultural col leges. The county agents will re- cruit and place labor, make surveys of needs of farmers and report to regional headquarters surplus labor or deficits in their counties.
 The nation is divided into nine
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-18

regions, each as nearly self -suffi- cient in farm labor as possible. A regional control board comprising state extension service directors and state war board chiefs is set up in each region. Needs will be reported to Washington only when they can not be filled within the region.
 Farmers. according to Davis, still will be taking chance" when they plant more than they can cultivate and harvest. The outlook on labor, however, is improving, he said. He asked farmers to take that chance because this is the most important planting season in American history.
 "The changes in the Selective Service regulations and the War Manpower Commissions actions to induce workers to do farm work have made prospects for an ade- quate year-round labor supply brighter than it has been for long time," he said.
