The great drive for sufficient labor to
man the farms of Centre county is on.
America must produce the greatest
crops in her history this reasoa or be
threafeped with the invasion of her own
soil by the Germans. If we do not
raise enough to feed ourseles and our Al-
lies the fight will be lost before we can
get our full military strength to the oth-
er side to support the soldiers of France
and England who have been fighting
since 1914, These countries have put
so many of their men n the fighting
line and into the munition plants that
they haven't enough left at home to till
the soil and must depend on us for
food.
Men and boys of Centre county, this
year will be what our grea® President
eaid it was to The determining
point of the war.
Qur government has told our Allies
that we can be depended upon to pro-|
duce the food necesary and it is now up
to us to make the promise good. |
Within the next two weeks we must |
enroll every man and boy who is cepa-
ble of doing any work on a farm, if he is
not already working on a farm. There
may not be any need for them but the
emergency demands that a list of availa-
ble man and boys be immediately com-
piled so that if they should be needed
we will know where to find them at a
moment's notice.
This week there are being mniled to
all the ministers of the gospel. all the se-
cret fraternal, patriotic aod other organ-
izations, all the public school teachers
and Sunday school superintendents in
the county, full information as to how
be.
the enrollment is to be carried out.

opinion that such a result can only be
sccomplished if the necessary labor is
procurable.

THE SPEAKER ARRIVES,

train and a meeting was called for 7|
o,clock in the eveninz in order that he|
might explain the plan of organisation |
to be effected in Centre county. Mr,
Signor is himself a farmer and is at pres-
ent farming one thousand acres of the
most fertile 'and in the Schuylkill val-
ley. Accordingly he was qualified to
talk to a few farmers who remained in
town for the evening meeting, He
spoke to th m ip a sympathetic vein,
but seriously impres-ed upon them the
call that the world is making for food
stuffs and the response that we as farm.
ers must make to the call He said
that the fa mers much more subjected
to depletion of their help in districts
surrounding the great industrial centers
have a far more serious problem than
we in comparatively isolated Centre
county have, yet they are co-operating
enthusiastically end hopefully to meet
it.
After the formal meeting was dis-
missed Mr. Signor went into conference
with Mrs, J, Thomas Mitchell and Mrs,
John Porter Lyon, representing they

the executive sccretary. The plans |
were laid out as above formulated and |
provision was made to employ a man

on the farm labor problem in Centre
county until the crops are planted and
harvested, This man will be selected
this week end he will be under the di
rection of D. F. Kapp, of State College,
chairman of the committee of Civilian
Service and Labor for Centre county,
and will co ordinate his work with that
of the county farm agent, Mr. Olmstead.
