Students Are
Wanted for
Farm Work
High school and college students
may he provided with an opportunity
this summer to "do their bit” in the
war by helping in the government’s
"Food for Victroy" program, accord-
ing to J. H. Bond, director of the
l nited States Employment service
for Texas.
Goopl-rating in the government's
program, Texas farmers during this
year expect to produce tlie greatest
food crops in history. Because many
farm workers have gone into the
armed services and war production
factories, shortages of worker* are
expected in some localities during
the growing and harvest season. Stu-
dents may lie called upon to make
up for these shortages.
Students always have done a fine
job in bringing in crops when their
help was needed. In states suffer-
ing farm labor shortages, students
last year joined the employment ser-
vice in tlie drive to find workers to
save the crojjs. In fact, in many a
rural area without student help there
would have been a considerable loss
of food.
Not since 1917 has there been such
