I John Yergey, who enlisted cently, was ordered to report as an Army camp at Lewes, Del. emphasized the acute labor situation would challenge the ability of farmers to produce the food that would be necessary for the war efforts. It potnted out war industries were attracting labor from the farm. In addition, if the plan proposed by various educational leaders to shorten school courses by extending the school term through the Summer months, is adopted, generally, it will deprive farmers of the necessary sources of labor ot farm boys and girls, during the Summer months which are the peak of the harvest season for most crops.
