in spite of this, remains simple:
Shall the United States help build a

course she shall. But this was said
before, and hindsight reveals the
reasons for the failure. Now, civil

in the winter could be put to work
in tobacco warehouses, greenhouses
and woodlotS.
The farm labor supervisor report
ed tobacco and hay har7ests in full
swing with shortage of women and
girls for wor: in the tobacco sheds
as the most serious handicap. Farm
ers are cutting an unusually heavy
hay crop, he said, but they have
been blessed with good weather"
and mainly for this reason are now
about at the normal point in haying
work.
Mr.. Putnam predicted that the
September-Octob period after
schools have reopened will bring the
worst squeeze" in farm labor. APP
Piles, potatoes, ensilage corn and
late vegetables must be harvested
then, and the state has larger
crop of potatoes and late vegetables
than usual. Cooperation of local
school authorities will De sought In
releasing pupils for this harvest
work.
The request for assignment of
Italian prisoners to Connecticut
followed discussion of this subject
at meeting of the Manpower COM
mittee of the State War Council, OF
which Mr.. Putnam is member.
Ralph G. Lasbury, Jr, farm labor
representative for tooacco growers,
told the committee that he had
studied the use of italian prisoners
in the southern states and consider
ed the arrangement very satisfactory
Many Italian soldiers, it was pointed
out at the committee meeting, are
skilled gardeners and farmhands.
Governor Raymond E. Baldwin,
who was present during the discus
sion, approved the suggestion that a
prison camp be sought, if Italian
prisoners could be secured.
